Outside the Nation

Red Sox payroll?...a cool $129 million. "That's hyperbole!" Average cost to see a game in Fenway?...$40.77 "That's outlandish!" Breaking the curse in the most boring and anti-climactic World Series of all time? ...well? ...Ciatog? We're all waiting to hear your answer! Congratulations to the Red Sox and all their fans, especially Mom, Gramp, my best bud and his family. It's been an epic like Ulysses, except without the potty jokes.

The Yellow Jack

In a strange coincidence, we learned the other day that we are not only a highly communicable disease, but also an easily caught fish that lives in shallow salt water off the coast of Florida. Enjoy Jacks.

The Yellow Book

Apparently there is more German priest chicanery. Perhaps it is all apocalytpic coincidence, perhaps it's the absinthe. Regardless, this novel was a clearance rack find at the old b&n that proved rather good. Jack, it seems is actually malaria, and was given that nomenclature during a particularly torrid series of outbreaks in 19th century New Orleans. This epidemic coincided with the arrival of the soliotype and the earliest expressions of photographic art. Analysis: we, the modern incarnation of such panolpy of extremism, are disease, gentlemen. You're all sick. Next up for reading; We Need to Talk About Kevin which must contain some secret clues about the Winter Me.

Barn burner. Not the good kind.

In a shameless display of pandering to the meta-search, Jack has instructed the Chief Architect to use the following words copiously in an attempt to shanghai traffic: election, Bush, polarized, Kerry, and debate. The Chief Architect has bowed to this baser instinct for a final comment on the upcoming circus. Sadly, there isn't much left to discuss. Hurricanes pummel old people, volcanoes are spouting maaaag-muh, oil prices are up up and up; let's face it: the four horsemen are here and their names are George, Dick, John, and um, John. UPDATE: 10.18.2004 Early voting began in Florida today and there are already serious issues. And for the truly exhausting possibilities, consider that this election could easily be as arduous as a 23-inning Sox-Yanks playoff debacle.

The Gallows

Madre dios, Vincent Gallo is a German Priest. The following references to D Nova's life appear in Brown Bunny: (1)The film begins in New Hampshire and makes a stop in Las Vegas. (2)An extensive discussion concerning the life expectancy of bunny rabbits. The film settles on six years, which we all know is a lie because Bunnicula stuck around for a solid dozen. (3)Daisy exhibits some of the same personality traits of...a person that Ciatog knows. That list may seem a little short to hang the man as a Deutschen, but ya'll should understand that those three scenes make up most of the moving picture.

RxR'd In Texas

There are two thousand miles behind Jack today. D Nova has embarked on a worldwide personafication of the dream addiction; peddling that super-ego crack to the post-modern prisoners of Austin. The new HQ is located between the quiet industrial centers of the north, and the Generica that clings to the interstate like lot lizards. The Feds don't know it yet, but they've supported the proliferation of Nieztschean reactionaries.
