Thanks Charlotte, for showing me these. They're inspirational, as the father of twin young girls on the precipice of puberty and adolescence.

What day is it today, Jasper? It's NWA Day!

Help the Police! This is hilarious. That's why I'm posting it under humor. If you don't get it, well, I'll give you a hint... "Help" the Police isn't really the name of the song. And NWA stands for Niggaz With Attitude. Proceed from there.

The Coolest 8 Year Old In The World Talks About O'Reilly

This is fucking sweet. And evidently, quite the stir among certain circles less radical than my own. Judge for yourself, but me, I don't think this is exploitation or child abuse, especially considering she's a paid actress and professional child actress. Now, I could rant about that for awhile but it has nothing to do with how funny this is.

Piano Babies, Moo Cows, Bee Stings, and Zines

how many cows lyli?

won! too! phive cow-ows!

let's see if this u-tube stuff really works, this was from a few days ago:

_____________________________

first bee sting today for Lyli
on the foot too, ouch!
baking soda and water and hugs
i was worried about her falling asleep
'cause it was right before nap time and
she immediately got drowsy but I riled her back up
iced her foot and she stopped crying and was walking on it again in minutes.

whew. reading about anaphylactic shock is no fun. at least we got to watch H. Rietta (our chicken) devour the bumblebee immediately after we took care of Lyli's foot. That's actually what made her stop crying at first was talking about the chicken eating the bee.

gorgeous and green here today despite the heat, need to water the garden once it's in the shade. nice adventure in olytown last night, saw the baby mama at the bar for the first time in ages, awkwardly cool vibes and some productive chatter.

argued with my mother this morning and she left for a few days
she's been visiting and helping me out this past month for those of you just tuning in but it's beginning to wear on me a bit, as parents tend to do to the wits of their offspring (and vice versa) after prolonged exposure.

drafting the first physical pirate papa zine for the Portland 'Zine Symposium august 11-13. will be adopting Rad Dad's table at the conference along with China Martens, gypsy-punk author of The Future Generation and counter-culture-mama-pioneer-guru. Google her ass, you'll find all sorts of cool stuff.

so if you're a parent or know some in the northwest or even if you're not a parent and even if you're not in the northwest (shame on you) you should come check out the Symposium. good folk to be sure. come look us up. we're gonna kick ass.

How Come Will Farrel Doesn't Get Visited By CPS?

Thanks Honky-Tonk Dragon!
