I was invited by the author Lee Lynch to contribute to The Butch Cookbook. I am glad someone finally put it to print an idea that’s been kicking around the web for years. I gave ‘em my downhome southern recipes for chicken n’ dumplins and for cornbread. I will post an update when The Butch Cookbook is available.
Dog…
Dog, you give white trash a bad name. I was gonna get some AquaNet and mullet my hair up like a cockatoo-pineapple-top just like your’s. But now I am not. So stop dressing like me!
Karma and irony collide.
The story: Ex-murderer/Hell’s Angel/crackhead Duane Chapman aka “Dog the Bounty Hunter” recently hired his 7th son Tucker Chapman to work alongside him on his hit A&E reality television show “Dog the Bounty Hunter”. Dog phoned Tucker to inform him that he is so fired for dating a black chick. Dog explains he uses the “n” word way too much to allow any black folks around, cuz this new girlfriend might overhear racial slurs and then set him up with the National Enquirer or sumpin’ crazy like that. Dog the Bounty Hunter a racist pig! What a story that would be! Dog swears that he would never, ever in a million years risk everything he has worked for over some n*gger.
Welp, Tucker was in fact recording this conversation with his father. Dog’s hate-filled tirade is on the front page of the Enquirer’s web site today.
Production on Dog’s show was immediately halted. Career? Over, brah.
Al Sharpton must get so tired of these ignunt fools calling him up to apologize.
Here is the actual message. WARNING: It’s nasty and offensive. The “f” word is bleeped out a coupla times, but the “n” word is is spit out with full on hate.
La collana di perle (The Pearl Necklace) an Xray by Italian artist Benedetta Bonichi 2002
Recently my kid and I saw Ron Mueck’s installation at the Modern in Fort Worth. This Australian sculptor jars your senses by manipulating scale in his hyper-realistic figurative work. A few of his silicon pieces are miniature, so that you tower over the people and become as a beast yourself, but most of his creations are colossal. OMG OMG. Fucking amazing! The plastic breathes. This is extreme people-watching without regard for manners.
Alot of folks link Mueck with Patricia Piccinini, a sculptor who also creates pink, moist-looking, hyper-real sculptures, Aside from shock and sensation, however, Piccinini has a whole ‘nuther premise going on that references trans-human species and bioethics. A photograph of her piece The Young Family has circulated the internet for years as an urban legend.
I like this also in the vein of disembodied figures: Martin Klimas drops fragile Asian porcelain figurines and then photographs them as they shatter.
Behold the New Fugly… fall season’s new $700 sports-stiletto-toy-thingies for your feet. What do you think?
I think they would look smashing with this $42k Louis Vuitton Frankenbag.
Laura Lipton creates very realistic pencil drawings which cleverly twist the horror of death with a bit of surrealist humor. She kinda swipes “day of the dead” imagery without the bright colors and mirth. Ghastly, but there is very wry wink after the “boo!”.
I read an interview where the artist said: “My parents were very proud of my work. They thought I was a child prodigy, a genius. They used to show my artwork at family gatherings. I’ll never forget the faces of my aunts & uncles when they looked from me to my drawings! The look of confusion and suspicion…. I was a cherubic child and my imagery was brutal and bloody.”
The Brit’s answer to American Idol is called Britains Got Talent and it began airing daily on ITV June 9. That asshole Simon Cowell is a judge, now insulting performers in other lands. There have definitely been some highlights so far.
This little 6 year-old girl made one of the judges cry. (Ok. Ok, it was me! She made me cry.)
Imagine if your cell phone salesman opened his mouth to explain how many minutes are in Verizon’s new plan, and a voice as powerful as this filled the store. He always wanted to sing opera. It’s as if this man was born for this moment.
This is a poignant story told through 20 pulitzer-prize photographs of a loving mother whose young son is losing his battle with cancer.

Isn’t she looking like a zany high school art teacher in that pantsuit?
Bernie Bernie Bernie… write this man some lyrics!
Here is a clip of the amazing Mr. Elton John creating a new song on the fly out of an appliance manual.
You know you love to watch Paula Deen on the Food Network so that you can feel better about your own shitty diet. At least you didn’t deep fry the bread for your bacon sandwich, right? I adore her.
I — Here is Paula’s authentic downhome recipe for DEEP FRIED BALLS OF BUTTER
II — And here Paula is making a super dooper hot dog… wrapped in bacon, covered in butter fried onions, and topped with oozing velveeta lava and a scoop of deeelish-shuusssh lard.
III — And finally… fuck all these extraneous ingredients… here is our gal Paula chugging a nice warm bowl of yummy 100% pure BUTTA.
