You could see it in the man with no name's eyes that he didn't need a name. Or even eyes.

I'm having a hard time coming up with his name, but he's somebody's older brother. He zeroed in on a wart I had, said it marked me for an early death. Looked just like this, as I shivered and cringed.

Say what they will, the bad girl belts them out.

hoarder

The hoarder becomes what he accumulates.

Raymundo

Met him at Coffeshop Mellow Yellow, Amsterdam. Let's say we'd imbibed by the time this picture was taken.

Elijah

Ordered the death of the priests of Ahab & Jezebel, those lousy Baalists, and, under threat of death, fled to the caves of Mt. Horeb. Winds blew, fire rained, the earth shook, but these were not God. No, God spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice, sent him to Damascus to anoint the kings of Syria and Israel. Further adventure ensued. Finally, Elijah flew off in a chariot of fire and things quieted down.

compared to a moment of true bliss?

Tuff Man

The winner of the 2008 Tuff Man Competition was announced today. It's Arnie Kreblehoffer of Colby, Kansas. He's a welded, pumiceous variety of rhryolite, pyroclastic in origin, and he'll whup the tar out of any igneous fool who's willing to step into the caldera. Oh, yeah.
