Well hey there everyone,
I don’t have much to offer other than this little nugget I just got from the editor and founder of “Tales of World War Z” the amazing zombie fan fiction website he started. I submitted 4 stories to the site, which you should check out because it truly is a great site.

Anyway, he just forwarded me this email from a concerned parent. I found it to be hilarious. Enjoy.

My 13 year old wants to sign up at your website and submit some of his work. I am hesitant to allow this since you allow such garbarge on your website as clitorus(sp) rex. What kind of moronic name is that? As the webmaster you can step in and ask this idiot to choose a more creative name–unless this is you? I dont mind the f*&$&*#ing this and shit that in the stories. The name highly offends me though. And I am sure Max Brooks cringes when he sees that infantile name on this homage to his book.

In case you are interested, here are links to the offending stories:

I never thought I would anger a soccer mom. I’m not proud that she is pissed, but my pen name is a complete joke. Its a name I thought of while trying to think of hilarious band names with a friend of mine and it just stuck. This woman walks a thin line…she is going to let her 13 year old read and submit work to a site who’s winning entry was a story involving a rotted zombie vagina, but she is mad about my name? I don’t see the disconnect. Again, the line is thin.

Sorry lady. I hope my name didn’t screw your kid up too much. Or maybe you just don’t like it. Either way, all the best to you and your undead loving family.

Ok, I wanted to share the “work” of a friend of mine, Mark Samuelson. Actually I haven’t been in the same room with this guy in like 5 years, but we’ve stayed in touch over the years since the day in 5th grade when he threw up all over our table at lunch…a little bit got on my jacket but it was all good.

I could go on and on about this guy (I think he tried Remote Viewing) but all I will say here is that his comics are fucking hilarious, like a more absurd David Shrigley that I can contact directly. His sense of humor rules, and his photography is basically everything I have ever tried to accomplish with a camera. So I’ve put some of his stuff up here. Click on the images to see them better and enjoy.

This one is called “High School”

This one is called “Beer Commercial”

This one is called “Young John F. Kennedy”

Yeah I’m not going to try and explain any of those. All I will say is that they have me laughing my balls off at work. Now, some of his photos…which are a whole ‘nother kind of awesome.

Wow…this is fitting…thanks Asian Dan
