SPAM has always occoured to me as some sort of disease infecting the entire being we all know as ‘The Net’. Still, looking past the penis enlargement medications and free webhosting for Russian porn offers, there’s actually coming something out of the process; namely randomized, machine-produced surrealism. Here’s what a SPAM mail looks like if […]

Feedback on "My first adventure with LP"
The short-story featured at Pauly’s truckin’ zine; Truckin’ April 2004 (Vol. 3, Issue 4) has already aroused trigger-happy Americans to raise an eyebrow in my random direction. Jerry wrote: Yeah, that sounds like Pauly’s kid. While Haley said that: Very strange story, but so is Big Pauly. I liked it. I would love to see […]
Meaning of the word 'Tragedy'
My brother Koew sent me this joke by Anonymous: President George Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the classes (4th grade). They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and meanings.The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class for an example […]
New Truckin' issue released!!
Pauly has released Truckin’ April 2004 (Vol. 3, Issue 4) where yours truly also has been allowed to participate most humbly and without capital letters.

From the office: A soapy quarrel over soap
It has come to my immediate attention that the tasks performed in the landscape of an office-building requires a considerable amount of time to justify the importance of those involved. Like writing a report, going over statistical reasearch data, and stuff that would normally take 3-6 months will be subject to a process taking eventually […]
The Pamphlet of the Permanent Penguin Removal
After I released the shocking photographic evidence I was sent by the National Association Against Penguins yesterday, they were soon to send me regards and asked me wether I was willing to host their pamphlet as well. I accepted the offer, as I’ve been true to the cause ever since its beginning in the early […]

Re: 'Pervert literature'
I got a comment from Shourov Bhattacharya regardingmy thoughts on Nabokov’s Lolita: "Your comments are right on the money. You can find my own review of "Lolita" at http://www.theverandah.net/verandah/article.asp?article_id=141" Excerpt: Begin this book, and I dare you to put it down. Nabokov’s prose is brilliant, a tightly-packed work of a true genius with language. Almost […]
Wordcount for first finished draft of ongoing project
The first draft of my novel, minus five to ten pages with meta-story-stuff, has a wordcount of 51,895 words. Hurra for me! (And thanks to BA, M., Kornelius and Pauly. Let’s not forget to mention Rachmaninov, Chopin and all the other great musicians I’ve sinked into while writing.) This is what Douglas Adams has to […]
