A Day In The Life
My last day at chemo was, until the end, like all the other days at chemo. I slouched in my barcalounger, they stabbed me with a 1″ needle in the bottlecap-sized subcutaneous catheter surgically implanted for this purpose (yes, it hurts), and they proceeded, over the next five hours, to dump several quarts of toxic …

Cheater Post Today
At long last, it has arrived. My Last Day Of Chemo. Can I get a hell yeah. To celebrate, after my delightful 5-hour infusion I’m goin’ out shopping for an Airstream. Because that’s how Twisty’s gonna roll. I leave you with The Moron Comment of the Week, from a guy who actually used the terrific …

And Baby Makes Coup
About 486 people have emailed me about a newsbyte making the rounds, the one alluding to the hypothesis of a Harvard biologist suggesting that mammalian gestation is a mortal combat between fetus and host over nutritive resources. It goes a little something like this: Fetus wants food, and aggressively seeks to suck out as much …

Big Bore, Part 2
Bill Paxton emotes after failing to blow down her throat the wad so desperately desired by wife #3. As promised, my pithy analysis of “Big Love,” the new HBO show about a polygamist: It sucks shit through Hefty bags. I say this not just because it normalizes polygamy, or because it is all about a …
