Federal Audit: Hugs for Slugs

Mr. Metall,

It is the finding of the IRS that your charity, Hugs for Slugs LLC, is in violation of multiple clauses of the U.S. Tax Code. For one thing, it is not a limited liability company at all, even though LLC is a part of its name. You claim that this stands for “sLLugs Can get hugs”, but we believe you are being deliberately misleading.

Another pressing issue is that your charity does not so much provide hugs for slugs, as it launders money for the mob.

Protesters Protest Protester Protests

On Capitol Hill today there were quite a few unhappy people parading around in three distinct groups. The first to show up were the protesters, unhappy about the job congress was doing and intent to say something about it. Second, about an hour later, protesters arrived to protest the protesters, claiming they were nutjobs and shouldn’t bother our hardworking representatives during their already stressful workday. The final group to descend upon Capitol Hill also consisted of protesters, these protesting the protesters protesting the protesters who were protesting congress.

An Interview with Zacchaeus Affleck, Mafia Actuary

In light of tax day and the recent economic recession, Clunkline presents a special report on one area of the economy that is booming—usury.  Why pay 200% APR on a reputable payday loan or even 25% on a credit card payment when you could pay 24.99% to get a loan from Tony Soprano?

And why not?   You’re good for it… aren’t you?  AREN’T YOU!?!?!?!

Butt Calendar

MesmericKiwi and I found a white erase board calendar sitting next to a chair in a campus eatery. We helpfully filled in a schedule for the benefit of the calendar’s owner, whenever they return for it.

Man Calls It

Singleton, IDAHO

Local man Gert Hafalacker today was lauded for having called it. “He said he was going to call it, then he did. Then it happened. That’s what tied it all together” said Hafalacker’s wife, Jola. “He was so happy with that” Local authorities have been investigating the accuracy with which Hafalacker had called it, and results looks very good. “Reports indicate that Gert here called it to within .0005% of a closeness unit” said Singleton’s Chief Occurrence Investigator, Frankliner Snowtop.

An impromptu parade found Hafalacker being carried around on the shoulders of his neighbors, and the Mayor’s office declared the day in his honor.

In other news, three banks were robbed and two homicides committed in Singleton while law enforcement was congratulating Hafalacker’s achievement.

A Sonnet

The Sun to me raised up her fiery head
“Get this foolish Moon away from my light!
Set him to follow you around instead
I ask you do this only for one night.”

“Ah, but Sun,” I said, “How could this be done?
For I cannot rise up to sky above
nor the Moon come down to the earth for fun.
And what could I get from this you speak of?”

My query she could not answer very well:
“I was only asking for a favor.”
With that she rolled down into the dell
Though it was plain she didn’t look braver.

Mister Moon arose from the clouds of pink.
He looked down at me and gave a wink.
