Last night my bird said, “The website seems a little preoccupied with death at the moment, Honey.”
“Heavy…” I thought, falling silent just long enough to suggest that perhaps I’m suicidal. Then I replied, “No it’s not.”
I got up to take a look at some recent posts just in case I was suicidal and hadn’t noticed. “That’s not much death at all!” I mumbled, and then trotted into the bathroom to eye the sleeping pills.
I don’t know, maybe there has been a lot of death talk recently. You can hardly blame us- it’s everywhere right now! Case in point- Patrick Swayze! What a monumental bummer.
No jokes there. It really sucks. He was awesome.
We were going to do our standard ‘RIP’ post for him but then it occurred to me that we’ve run three of those in as many weeks!
So, we’re not running a pic or a video from The Outsiders or anything like that.
Instead, at the risk of appearing insolent, we’re posting up this classic Aids ad from the 80′s! You remember the 80′s!
You could catch “The Aids” from a mosquito in the 80′s! Hilarious.

How funny is the baby-backflip? Really. Watch it again. Quadruple Barani with a Flash-kick.
Oh man, you know what? It just don’t feel right to not eulogize the Sway-dawg in some small way…
Here’s the rumble scene from The Outsiders. Please watch this in it’s entirety, if not to honor the memory of P-Sway, at least to behold the curious, and utterly incongruous fag-poet that appears at 7:52.

Tré, tré classique… eeeeehhhh… merde…
In other news, not related to the passing of Hollywood icons, Max Schaaf is still living the dream in Oakland while the rest of us bang our heads in the door.
If you’re on the east coast and this doesn’t make you wanna pack up and split for the west coast… I dunno. Get your pulse checked…
you dirty skank.


Bastard.
There’s a compelling article about the approaching weed law reforms in this week’s New York Magazine. Did you know that “possession of 25 grams, or seven-eighths of an ounce– much more than the few joints that are getting people arrested (in NYC)– is not a crime in New York State and has not been since the passage of the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977.”?
Can you fucking believe that? It’s true! However, the weed must not be burning or in public view. That means that you haven’t committed a crime until the cops can get you to pull the $60 bag out of your pocket and make it viewable to the public.
Anyway, check it out. Mark Jacobson. Great guest ed.
Catch you tomorrow for more death n’ shit.
