There's always a question of how specific you want to get here. Some bad shit happens and you don't want to make it worse by putting info in the wrong hands. Anyway good luck keeping it together Bro, we're with yah.

UT, sounds like you could use some Krispy Kremes to cheer you up.
![]() Most of what I say about myself and my life here is stuff I don't have a problem sharing with the world at large. People have tried (and failed) to use it against me here before. They can keep trying. For what I have posted here, there is much more that people don't know...which is how I like it. |

7 years ago this very week...
--I was a sophomore in college, just getting ready to move back to St. Louis. --I had just figured out how to use the internet. --I was nursing an incredibly bad case of food poisoning from a Ruby Tuesday in Cape Girardeau. I don't know how the hell I made the drive back to St. Louis, but I did. All I remember is stopping several times along the way and then collapsing in my bed when I finally got home. Memories. ![]() |

Dammit Griff, that cycle had just about cleared itself, and now here you go starting it all over again.

Ogg understand now.
Ogg no more hunt. Ogg no more bang rocks togther. No more! No more! Ogg now macrobiotic lesbian performance artist! Ogg make poop on dead animal skin. Ogg say it represent brutality of hegemonistic white male attitude toward women and nature. Good. Good. You give Ogg grant now. Terry Gross interview Ogg on NPR. Ogg drink latte now. Good. Good. |

I would like to appologize as well, especially to Ogg. Contrary to my expectations, you've made great strides towards recognizing that individual talents should only be showcased when experts grant funding. We're all very proud of you.

My performed apology to Ogg
Ogg's decision to apply for a grant has given him official standing as an artist. Now that hunting and gathering are no longer necessary for his corporal existence the skills of hunting, killing, and processing creatures are a legitimate forms of art, when exercised by someone other than the reformed Ogg. As tribute to Oggs growth as a human, I have performed my own one man four scene exercise.
![]() ![]() There are problems with my piece, however. The first is that at conclusion there are several useful products meat for the freezer, a skin for Slang's back, and of course the tallow to be used as Ed Norton instructed us in Fight Club. Art is only valuable for its own sake therefor a resultant product corrupts the whole process. Another issue is the taking of game. We've been instructed that this is legitamit as long as we honor the Great Spirit and the spirit of the creature. Unfortunately this dishonors the tradition of artist as instructor of rational atheism. I don't believe we have a separation of church and state issue, however, as long as Christianity is not endorsed. An important aspect of the piece is the joy expressed by the doe at having acheived a purpose higher than her own pathetic existance mirroring Oggs emergence from his own selfish existence through the granting process. The next piece for which my funding is pending will address those problems. I will hunt and kill an American bison on the ranch of neo-capitalist Ted Turner. Since the animal will be provided by the taxpayer and Ted, I can havest it without giving thanks to any power larger than our blessed government from which all good things flow. I will also destroy the meat or leave it to the wild things. Teds separation from Jane leaves open the question of his response to my art. The NEA grant should more than cover any court related expenses.

I'm a wild thing ... any chance you can pack some of that meat you don't want anymore on dry ice and ship it?
![]() Thanks for doing your part to reduce wasting disease in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You're a good man, Griff.

Ogg, after you hang out with Terry Gross at WHYY in Philadelphia, you head down the street to 5th and Market. We will dine on cheesesteaks...a unique take on cow meat and bread. You might even call it "art."
Speaking of deer...Griff, what time should I be up there for dinner? ![]() I wonder if they'll have another deer hunt in the city this year. |
