A Gift For Smear #1

After receiving a harsh lecture about the dangers of Ritalin abuse, I thought Smeary #1 could use some cheering up, so I made him this gift! The plant is, of course, a "Wandering Jew."

Mission Accomplished

I got back in to Toronto this morning after pretty much driving straight from Denver CO. It was a pretty crazy few days on the road. I stopped in Vegas for 45 minutes, slammed back a beer at the Bellagio, won $30 at a slot machine, unsuccessfully tried to pay a minister at one of those shitty wedding chapels $30 to marry me to a slice of pizza, and then got the hell out. I drove through Utah and spent some time walking around the desert and then drove to Aspen CO where I happened to walk right into a medical marijuana convention / fundraiser for the Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Foundation which was hilarious to say the least & the coolest bunch of rasta cancer patients I've ever hung out with. I left before having too many drinks at a dance party at the base of the slopes and found myself in a terrible snowstorm in the mountains about 100 miles from Denver. Everyone was pulled over to put chains on their tires and lots of people who didn't were stuck in the ditch. I managed to get through the thick of it leading a convoy of vehicles until I lost control of the jeep on a huge down hill and started fish-tailing to the point where for a moment I was sliding down the mountain sideways and screaming the word 'fuck' over and over again while goddamn classical music was blaring through the speakers. I kept correcting the steering as the back end swung left and right about 7 or 8 times. Somehow I thought to pull the emergency brake which dragged the ass end and straightened out the vehicle. I almost had a fucking heart attack. It was an 8% slope on a narrow windy mountain road with a little shitty guard rail. I actually looked to the sky and said thank you when it was over. I was really really really lucky to get out of that one. I spent the night in Denver and now thanks to officer Buzzkill I don't think I'll be allowed to operate a motor vehicle in Nebraska ever again. I don't really care though cuz Nebraska is one of the shitty boring states anyway. Great antiques though! I got pulled over again in Chicago by 2 cops and this time I turned on my video camera and pointed it at the window. The cops first tried to tell me I had to give them $75 for the bond to be allowed to drive away, then came back to the vehicle and let me off with a written warning for speeding and said that they pulled me over because the jeep matched the description of some drug related crime wagon they were looking for. They were pretty dorky cops. the vizz is pretty funny. I'll try and cut something together from the whole trip soon. Anyway.. glad to be back. Time to get back to work.

here's a few Utah pictures

A beaver's beaver.

I recently sold my dearly beloved school bus for public safety reasons which almost made me cry. This was my favourite drawing to ever grace the walls of the mighty Razor Horse.
