Posted on August 11, 2010 by bukkhead

New story posted: “Cougars, Tigers and Milfs, Oh My.” Was supposed to post this on Monday but didn’t have the gumption. Probably because this story has sex in it. Not that I’m suggesting sex is what the story is about. … Continue reading →

Stand Still, Dog

David Foster Wallace Is Dead

Posted on September 15, 2008 by bukkhead

Allegedly a suicide, last Friday. Whoa. I’ve tried to read his books. I just can’t. Both his fiction and non fiction. They’re too “smart.” You know, like listening to Dennis Miller. Like Umberto Eco, without the cool plot twists. I’m … Continue reading →
