Gotta stay postive.

A.’s Birthday and Time to Go

Filed under: us — Scott at 1:43 pm on Sunday, April 20, 2008

Our little A. is all growns up today. Best wishes to our lady of eastern Ravenswood.

In a unrelated note (though i suppose somewhat related in that I think a lot about getting older and the stumbling mess that amounts my adulthood), I guess it’s no secret I’ve been neglecting my barbering and I think it might be time to officially make the site J-ho’s solo online home.

Joel and I started this site to deal with post-grad ennui and keep each our smirking, even as we were jobless and hunkered down in our parents houses back in Michigan. If you read the archives you might get little flimsy looks at two guys having a fucked up time during the most fucked up time in the history of our country and our home state.

That story isn’t done, but it’s done with us. We brought A. on to help balance us out awhile ago, and for a bit it moved us back into a higher gear. Now we are slumping and I don’t know what’s going on with my buddy on the other side of the country as nearly as well as I would like.

That’s the story I hope J-ho will get back to cluing us into soon. Right here at BC.

Me? I’ll still be around on the backblog and as emeritus adviser. I’ll try to keep rolling on some of my own stuff at my new place, metropotamia.org.

So nothing sad or anything. Love and rock&roll to all of you, especially Joel and Aubs.

Cougar Attack

Hey.

Been awhile.

So tonight the cops shot a 150 pound cougar on my block.

It is unbelievable. Almost enough to restore my faith in the world.

Detroit loves a sex scandal!

If the Kwame case hasn’t been enough to pique your interest in the sordid affairs of Detroit’s political royalty, we bring you another that’s just at juicy. It seems a certain U.S. Senator’s husband has a taste for bargain-priced prostitutes!

Tom Athans wasn’t all about the $4500/night sessions in swank D.C. hotels like Eliot Spitzer. No, he was more into $150 15-minute quickies in the women’s room at the Residence Inn.

And just when you think he’s about to face some serious charges, we get to my favorite part of the story: “Athans was not charged with soliciting prostitution, since he agreed to testify against the woman…”

Today’s lesson: If you get caught soliciting a prostitute, sell her out A.S.A.P.!
