Travelogue #44 - Roly-poly holies are a challenge to the foley artist When the racist dropped me outside of Live Oak, Florida, en route to Portland, Oregon--3,000 miles, folks---it was 40 degrees of Fahrenheit at 6pm. Dark came soon after. It was January, 2010. This must be one of God's...

·Travelogue #45--when the going gets tough, you've cooked it too long It took several attempts at sheer poverty until my wallet was absolutely extinguished. New Orleans scared me, Austin was too yuppy, Minneapolis too homoerotic. Economic desperation seized me—no safety net! Where the fuck...

As Throw Away Girl walked down the street; her blood began to boil. What a Crazy ass Goat Man! She went directly to the payphones, in front of the post office; where she called her parents to tell them what had happened. They already had some idea that Goat Man was crazy. When her mother...

When we left Throw Away Girl and Crazy Goat Man; they were at an impasse. Throw Away Girl decided at that point to make herself as scarce as possible. She went about her chores and kept to herself as much as possible. During the next month or so; she and Soul Starer got to know each other...

When we left Throw Away Girl and the Crazy Goat Man, they were knee deep in goat shit. By this time Throw Away Girl had been broken in, and had fallen into a routine. Since most of her time on the farm was solitary; she would get up when the turkey gobbled in the morning (which, incidentally...

Just being bored I figured I'd share some short stories. A few years ago in Motgomery I was hanging out with an old dude, and he seemed cool enough. Well, it was christmas day and he was up for crack and a prostitute.(NOT my M.O.) He ended up pulling a hatcthet on me and thinking my options out...

I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with this storm on the east coast. I'm sitting up here in New Hampshire looking at all the places i've been before and wondering whats really going on down there. NYC is getting it right now. I love the chaos of it all. Don't want no one to get hurt...

In a "free country" shouldn't a person be able to just buy some dirt, build a lousy shack, and be left the fuck alone? Nope, you can't have that. Property taxes, building codes, the man. Even if you did find a way to do it things often change. Who wants to commit to buying into some utopian...

We've all heard them,the stories about the fabled tough neighborhood/town where no-one has anything but trouble,or the locals will bust your head,or the cops will roll up on you.My fav has always been about Oregon Hill here in RVA.Everything from a Klan outpost to a secret Weatherman cell to the...

I don't know where to put this but here seems appropriate enough. A little back story I work as a caregiver. I work for the state and for a private company. I get a great variety of patients. Here are some things that I think the rest of the world just overlooks. Which is sad because I think...

(second half of a travel story I once wrote). The next way, we caught a minibus to the edge of the city and then a truck to the border, where the police tried to set us up with a bus, while I came to the stark conclusion that I had left my eyeglasses on the previous ride, which was now long...

So I've been hard at work today trying to get everyone's old stories out of the database for the old StP site... i basically had to cut and paste them by hand, but at least i got them! The only bad part is that I couldn't recover the username that went with the story, so you'll all just have to...

Does anyone have any hitchhikging horror stories? Ones where the ride pretty much ends in "Look mother fucker, You either pull the car over or im steering is into on coming traffic!"?:ohmy:

Im not rushing anyone or anything (*coughcough-matt-coughcough*) But the sooner Chapter 2 is up, the better. I've been waiting on that like a little kid waiting on a comic book. I'm seriously not trying to be rude man. Great job on the site so far!
