  • How many carbs are in a foot?
  • Pretend you're good at it
  • George Washington's dildo
  • I'm not psychotic. I just need to get in front of you in line.
  • Why would I want to do more when I'm already doing so well at nothing?

  • The fear
  • Skinterventions and Bangtox
  • It's like your pants are bragging at me
  • Nice bass
  • It's hard to tell which of us is mentally ill
  • I left my heart in San Francisco. (But replace "San Francisco" with "near the lemur house" and replace "heart" with a sad question mark.)
  • Stock up on snow globes. The zombie apocalypse is coming.
  • Appendix: an interview with the author
  • I'm turning into a zombie one organ at a time
  • Cats are selfish yawners and they're totally getting away with it

  • My skeleton is potaterrific
  • It's called "catouflage"
  • We're better than Galileo, because he's dead.
  • Things my father taught me
  • I'm going to die. Eventually.
  • And this is why I prefer to cut my own hair
  • It's all in how you look at it (the book of Nelda)
  • Well at least your nipples are covered
  • Death by swans is not a glamorous as you'd expect
  • The big quiz
  • Cat lamination
  • That baby was delicious
