Well, here’s one:

Been told it’s the best lube when warmed to a liquid…
Officially, y ou did not hear that from me.
Uses for coconut oil (virgin, I’m assuming) include helping with skin problems like bug bites, eczema, diaper rash, etc, being anti-viral (reading something about its use with HIV...

So that thing I was working on until 3 o'clock...
You know, the elephant’s vagina thing? That. Well, without my saying anything about it to the client and seemingly apropos of nothing, they’ve decided they don’t want that feature anymore.
This is obviously a huge relief. But also, MY FOREHEAD IS BLEEDING FROM POUNDING IT INTO MY DESK AND NOW MY DESK IS BROKEN AND WHY DON’T I JUST CLUB MYSELF TO DEATH WITH ITS SHARDS OR IS...

Something probably can't be "really lethal," huh?
It either is or isn’t, there aren’t degrees of it kills you or it doesn’t. It’d be like something being “really unique,” which President Bartlett taught us all doesn’t scan. Still, I’m leaving it. Because I’ve decided that given the opportunity, I would say Galileo 6 correctly. And apparently that means something.
Procrastination!

Things & Whatnots
On the way back to my office tonight, I walked by a homeless guy being loaded into an ambulance while other homeless folk stood around and shook their heads and talked about how he OD’d and people best be careful so spread the word. Second time in less than a week. My primary response—beyond the empathetic human part—is that someone’s intentionally selling really lethal drugs to...

If this doesn’t make you giggle…I just don’t know what. It has to. It will. You may just wanna turn the volume down a smidge if you’re near the very young or the infirm or the generally humorless. (Totally SFW, just loud and auto-playing.)
(Y’all’ve been talking about this for months without me, haven’t you? I miss all the good shit when I’m off...

I used to be a poet.
For over a decade, I woke up every morning and spent an hour or more writing. Line breaks, rhythm, imagery, sound—every morning for a big chunk of time, I lived there. I sent out my work and published and read and talked about poetry with my poet friends. Then it all stopped.
It didn’t happen all at once, but here it is: I haven’t written a new poem that I’ve edited and taken to...

“This next one is a love poem. Do you any of you like love?”
– Zachary Schomburg’s between-poem banter earlier tonight.
(Michael Dickman won the reading, but not by much. Yes, all readings have winners. Obviously.)

"Etiquette for the Enduring Guest" on DIAGRAM →
My good buddy & second-favorite native Hoosier (behind Michael, but ahead of Axl), Ms. Julia Story, had a great book review of her first collection of poems, Post Moxie, go up on Diagram today. Below the review is what has to be one of the most perfectly tailored interviews ever conducted. If you know Julie or Post Moxie at all, you can hear the smiling in this:

Hi Dad,
I’m just gonna take a stab in the dark here and say that something nefarious is afoot in your inbox. Either that or you’ve uncharacteristically gotten into openly talking about your porn interests since I’ve moved. Either way, I think an intervention is in order.
Love, Dan

I've never done this before:
Because all of my imaginary stalkers are lazier than I am, here’s a few other places you can find me if you feel so inclined:
Facebook
Last.fm
Rdio
Words/Hanging with Friends: damndanm
Carcassonne: I play the iOS version of this game more than is healthy or reasonable, especially considering I only moderately enjoy the tabletop version. Anyway, I think you need to email me (cursor over...

I live in Oregon now and other stuff as well.
I’ve lived here for about ten days or so. I’m also working full time again for the first time since before my wife did that magic trick where she pulled a kid out of her vajunglegym. Anyway, I’ve been absent from this particular sidewalk for a bit and thought I’d make words happen. But because I still don’t feel settled or that I have the energy to find the narrative...

F**K Yeah Rhode Island →
mondofacture:
*Gasp!* An obscenity! Nobody’s actually offended by those anymore, right? Thank the Almighty Father (Quetzalcoatl) for that, because I am not here to talk about swear words. I am here, in this cyberplace, to talk about Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is my home state. But if you read my *WANTED* poster in your local post office, you already knew that. I guess you also know about all...

Sorry, Michigan.
I visited 33 states (66%) Create your own visited map of The United States
Even though my travel habits up to now have made the Western US look decidedly wang-ish, I’m excited to knock off a few more of these in just a couple days…
