Here’s the Google cache from Feb. 20. UPDATE 2: Something from Utah called Ryan Byrd dot net announces his friend the Switchbutt MD’s blog, Google cached …

Public Cans of Austin: Hotel San José
The can at the chic Hotel San José on trendy South Congress Ave: where edgy, creative people with sculpted bed-head go to pee. It’s unisex! Once again spinster auntly pursuits interfere with today’s blaming schedule; I must take charge of my 3-year-old niece Rotel. She telephoned yesterday to inform me — in the background I …

The Sarah Silverman Program isn’t funny
This post about TV is really just an excuse to publish a picture of cake. Coconut cake. The older I get, the lower the altitude at which are flying the fucks I give about pop culture. It’s true! I don’t listen to The Shins. I haven’t seen “Borat,” and have made no plans to do …

A tedious technical note
Maybe I’m imagining it, but it seems as though some of the more sensitive among you express, from time to time, an interest in what kind of camera I use, and whether I would sink so low as to affect photo-blurriness through Photoshop rather than “naturally” and so forth. At the risk of boring the …

I had the flu for a couple of days, and when I came to and took a squint out the window, the disagreeable tableau affronting my disbelieving eyes was the above-pictured frozen purgatorial gloom.

Twisty Goes to Camp: A Very Special Episode
Note: This is a post about a post about a lot of posts about another post. If recursive blogular navel-gazing chokes you with ennui, you might consider reading something more riveting, like the reference manual to Microsoft Excel. This morning, as the rosy fingers of dawn chucked the Austin sky under its easy-goin’ chin, an …

Koufax yourself
The Koufax Awards are this year endangered by a shortage of funds. It seems a couple of the Wampum hard drives have given up the ghost. Astonishingly, given the magnitude of hilarity the awards generate among so many blogarians, the Wampums’ appeals for reader support have thus far come to naught. The suggested course of …

On Losing Edges and Winning Senate Seats
Her job as urban watchdog now redundant, Zippy roams the Texas Hill Country with a spring in her step and a howl in her heart. I once possessed the hypersuperpowers of a cross between a Navy Seal and a Thompson’s gazelle, the guile and sagacity of a denizen of a war zone, the graceful-if-slightly-jokey self-preservational …
