The Apocryphal Symphonies, As Performed by Bongo Christ & Johnny Moustache

Bongo Christ (l) and (Not) Johnny Moustache (r)   The symphonies themselves are not all that apocryphal, but their performances by Bongo Christ and Johnny Moustache, like any or most of my stories, certainly are as apocryphal as they come. Whether or not their performances will resonate with the world any better than my stories,…

It’s Talladega, Baby!! Spring 2016 Celebrity Photographer Edition

talladega titties

It’s Talladega, Baby!! And I APPROVE of what that means!!!   This will, or might likely, be my worst bloog post ever. The feeling grows within me each passing day as the materials, ideas, concepts pile crushing me, until they seem to wither away and I seem to wither away  and I put the same…

Like A Carp Driven Through A Man’s Skull

Stan Erickson Appleton

  A terrible thing happened on October 27th, 2015….but….I’ll get to that in a minute. Meanwhile, here are a few things I will not write about today. I will have nothing to say about the terrorist bombing in Paris. That ‘s been covered by everyone else on the planet, and I hate to say it,…

Music Vanishes

Music vanishes once it’s played….   Only silence resonates/reverberates….somewhere in the caverns of….what…..the heart?? ((ed. See editor’s note in the first ((and only)) comment)) Or, like words not spoken, words not written. Note not played. There! You hear that?? That bottle that dropped during the intro of Humble Pie’s live version of Dr John Creaux’s…

Poetic Justice, Inc.

The English Premier League Weekend in poetic form.   Since I’m not well versed (see what I did there, Clive?) in classical Japanese poetry, I can’t and will not even pretend to try anything more clever than  a well known 3 line poetic form based on the concept of 5 syllables, then 7 syllables and…

What colour Dress are THESE twats wearing??   Against a real football club, such as ArseAnal ((see what I did there, Clive?)) or thier Noisy Neighbors, or my beloved Chelski ((See?

talladega tits

It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!!!   It means exactly what you think it means. But this time, it also means so much more. Meanwhile, for me it means finding some trailer court in the general vicinity of the Talladega Superspeedway which is ideally located across the railroad tracks from a women’s…

Paulton Rovers 1      Hereford United 2   There were better days for Hereford United, but even then, they still had shite to clean up.

“One of the easiest things in football is to win 1-0.”   Ipswich Town 0      Norwich City 1 Lewis Grabben smacked home the opener at 24 minutes off a Tettey header from Hoolihan’s corner, and….as Jose Mourinho might say, the rest was easy. It didn’t look easy at times, but Norwich was the…

Next Stop….BURNLEY….Burnley Manchester Road…   The telegraph wires hum as I tap this out on a cool/warm sunny Saturday morning.
