Thieves Jargon 199



I'm pretty sure I sent the singer in the band above a copy of "Kittens in the Boiler" when it came out. You can plainly see the influence in the scene.

Welcome to Thieves Jargon 199. Scannell brought together some interesting fiction that I really enjoyed. Stove Hands starts with a guy burning his hands on a stove and gets weirder from there. Danny Sadsack and Razor Wire give the the gift of the city. Matt Salesses has Epidemics stories popping up like funky rashes, and I like seeing one in TJ.

As for the poetry, a lot of sex, only nobody's having any fun. Miller Daniels dick poems always make me laugh, I kind of wish I knew about somebody paying homage to the female anatomy these days quite like Carl dedicates to the men.


In other news:
Joel Van Noord acts like a woman.

Mark Baumer is walking across the country.

Cats are pretending Natasha Henstridge's death had an important impact on their lives.

Headz the Novel by John Colagrande has sparked a bidding frenzy.

Does that guy Daniels ever write poems about guys with little dicks?

The only things Baumer forgot to put in that pack were fingernail polish and tampons.

The Smallville finale was pretty lame. If he doesn't become Superman next season he never will.

is that head in the cover art steven spielberg?

detector, you are real odd. I always assume you're joking about stuff. but then you take everything so seriously that i think you're really into it. like katie perry, cats? being racist and homophobic but then getting real offended when people say "retarded". carry on, however.

TheodorePuertoriquez said...

It's Katy Perry. Her new song is awesome by the way.

Great art with this issue. I looked at her website: Wonderful stuff.

"I kind of wish I knew about somebody paying homage to the female anatomy these days quite like Carl dedicates to the men."

What about Kitty Kelly? Isn't that why her recent Oprah biography was so controversial?

TheodorePuertoriquez said...

Does her book mention Oprah's vagina? I don't get your comment.

I know South Park did a whole episode about Oprah's vagina and butt.

Mather introduced me to Joseph Goosey's dick. Now I don't care about the female anatomy anymore.

Anonymous said...

the fact that you don't get the comment sort of explains a lot. also, who is another good singer besides katy perry?

Spencer Troxell said...

There's no lonelier feeling than having your sense of humor misunderstood.

TheodorePuertoriquez said...

Besides Katy Perry I would say my other favorie singers are Jenny Lewis,Lady GaGa, and Zooey Deschanel.

renaissance jones said...

this joint is lame without me..!

TheodorePuertoriquez said...

Regina Spektor.

Spencer Troxell said...

Matt: Thanks for putting the Future of the Left video up. I've never heard them before. They're fun.

Major Bummer said...

Miller's dick poems are... so... OLD.

Also, the Island of Epidemics piece is an interesting idea that goes absolutely nowhere... multiple times. Why not just set sail for a whole new archipelago? Damn.

i imagine they're saving up their siiiick pieces for the grand 200th.

mather said...

This place is dead in the water. I for one am not grieving.

It wasn't me! I was hoping Thieves Jargon lived long enough to publish one of my poems!

Mather and Thieves Jargon killed each other in a sexy punk rock suicide pact.

more like mather was a nasty intestinal parasite that tj got by sitting on a tractor in some iowa cornfield looking for justin hyde's poetry.

It's hard to say until the final studies are done.
