AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

Colonel Gentleman

Colonel Gentleman's list of things that should be outlawed:

1. Any non-diet soda.
2. Referring to diabetes as "the sugar."
3. Parking tickets.  Be nice to each other.  Don't park your metal like no one else has anything to do or look at.
4. Periods.  Reproduction in general.
5. Weighted favors.  You either do the favor or you do not.
6. Currency.  All of them.
7. Credit.  All of it.
8. Duck faces.  All of them.
9. Dog people.
10. Snark. Drown them all.  If I wanted a snarky answer I'd have put a bag over my head while asking.
11. Canes.
12. The cookie tray.  Less plastic, more cookie.
13. Trust funds.
14. The stock market.  All of them.
15. Any word that stands in for "Fuck."
16. Summer weather.
17. Age limits.
18. Passports.  If you have one, you are permanently grounded wherever this edict finds you.  Good luck.
19. Safety precautions on automobiles.
20. Crosswalks.
