NYC Fifth Annual Big Wheel Race
Welcome back to Fluff’s Fifth Annual NYC Big Wheel race. The past five years have shown us the marvels of madness with Ice Wheels, speed trials and countless four-wheeling events on three wheels. We’re back to the brouhaha that started it all.
Bring your own Big Wheel. This includes: Big Wheels, trikes, velocipedes, skateboards you can sit on and control, ice boxes, toilets with wheels, soapbox vessels, or other hand made or rehashed contraptions.
The rules are as follows: Your seat or bottom must be no higher than 12 inches above the ground. Avoid rubber wheels; plastic or other is favored. Wear safety gear. Riders have been known to break 30mph. This is open to everyone. You ride at your own risk. We’ll use both the Rocket Path and the Danger Loop.
Costumes: superheroes are encouraged to dress the part and ride as the heroes they are. Wonder Woman, we miss you, please come back. Performers: If you’d like to play your guitar, bring your hoop, spin poi, or teach us all how to paint small children’s faces please do so.

Then again, I’ve always been a sucker for those pillow fight people.
Friday Funnies
October 12, 2012LB: i got on the scale today and it read “low”
i was hoping it was referring to my weight but it was referring to the battery.
me: BAHAHAHAHAHA
LB: also my aunt ran over her dog for the second time.
me: omg
LB: she’s such a flake.
Word Problems
October 12, 2012It’s really frustrating that the word “dope” can refer to both marijuana and heroin. I mean, it’s too ingrained now to stop, but I thought I’d whine about it for a second. I don’t know about you guys, but it causes me a lot of problems in my own life.
On the next episode of “Word Problems”: the new favorite GLBT, “them.”
POTO AND CABENGO FINALLY
October 11, 2012I finally found a place to watch the full-length Poto and Cabengo online. And in it, I found new fashion inspiration.

Holding Spot
October 10, 2012For a long time, I lost this reference, and so now I am holding it here so that I can always find it when I need it.
“Indeed, the disciples of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov used to set aside an hour a day known as the Dead Hour, in which all business would cease and nothing structured was permitted, allowing the repressed soul to come to the fore and be free.”
Frances Farmer, Part II
October 9, 2012I… cannot… get over… the insane awkwardness and utter witlessness of the show’s host/perhaps the age as a whole? Jesus, if people put me on TV and then listed my many indiscretions and then brought out my caseworker from one or another psych ward, I would probably lash out with something along the lines of, “If this cruel parade is emblematic of the type of world we live in, I’d rather be nuts!” The look of horror on her face when the host announces that they’ve wired 125 producers to ask them to consider her for an upcoming romantic role is just soul-shattering.
MORE TO DEAD TO ME
October 9, 2012So I had to tell Joyce Wadler, who wrote the genius NY Times article that started the whole thing, and here is her response:
ID,
What a great idea!! So often people who are dead to us are long gone before we have the pleasure of telling them. These cards would take care of that. Hope you sell a million. And congratulations on getting the go ahead from The New Yorker, a magazine I could not do without.
Joyce
That last little NYER reference is a secret, that you will perhaps know of soon :).
