Happy Birthday, Virus!

August 31, 2010 in A Birthday With Shoes

Please steal a moment from your soul-deadening “careers,” random sex hook-ups, and abject self-loathing to join me in wishing our publisher, VirusWithShoes, a tremendously happy birthday. Besides providing us this space where we can meet, greet, and occasionally create things of value, Virus has been a good friend to so many of us.

Never expected, always welcome, Virus wanders amongst us like a spectral presence who leaves crumbs in the bed so you know he’s around.

September 1, 2009 in A Birthday With Shoes

You know, Virus, we twa hae run about the braes and pu’d the gowans fine. But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot, sin …sin …

Oh hell, I can’t do these lines justice. Why not let the master himself do the honors?

Take it way, Robbie!

We’re in the middle of a heat wave, but my studio apartment is nice and cool in the morning after running the fan all night, and the comforter isn’t too heavy  when you sleep naked. I check the clock then snuggle deeper into the pillows, my bed linens freshly laundered and smelling faintly of the lavender sachets I toss in the dryer.

Conspiracy Corner – Dateline Scotland

August 31, 2009 in A Birthday With Shoes, Conspiracy Corner

ScotsmanAwrite!  Hou’s it gaun?  Whit’s this, ye speir at us? The maist o ye ken that this is whaur ah gie ye a haund wit things ye dinna kin an’ aw that.  It’s like feeding jujubes tae an elephant mind, but dinna fash yersel an’ haud yer wheesht, it’s nae borra.  Ma heid’s birlin with all this information, frae blootert blethering tae haggis-fueled havering.  In past columns ah’ve telt aboot aliens and cover-ups and killings an’ aw ither thing. The day it’s gony be all aboot Alba.

The following is attributed to that bawbag and alleged Scotsman Dennis Miller, who kens hee haw aboot hee haw:

“The biggest conspiracy has always been the fact that there is no conspiracy. Nobody’s out to get you.   Nobody gives a shit whether you live or die.  There, you feel better now?”


tin-foil-cat-bulletBishop of Motherwell Joseph Devine started a barnie during a 2008 lecture in Glasgow by saying that the bufties have launched a “huge and well-orchestrated conspiracy against Christian values,” and that they’ve aligned themselves with minority groups and holocaust survivors in a desperate bid for sympathy. Not taking any fucking shite from those poofs.  In response to a question about what to do when confronted with a child’s “mission to become homosexual,” the bishop said not on yir nellie, advising parents not to “tolerate that behaviour.”
