“The epitome of nonsense” is what a bemused cocaine enthusiast once called me at a friend’s memorial service.

I took it as the highest compliment - and then stole it, as any decent writer would. I think it’s a fine description of me at my best, which is what I want this site to be about.

It’ll be funny, but also serious. It’ll be fact, fiction, absurd, honest, a little baseball-obsessed, analytical, musical…whatever I think might lift your boat and mine, while also leading to gainful employment, fame, and (it goes without saying), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

I hope you enjoy it here, but I’m much more interested in your money, if I’m being honest. If you won’t pay me, I hope at least to disgust you with the entirely gratuitous photo above.

Love, peace, and/or shove it,

Jack
