Pass it on
Mr. Bixel had a shit stain on his pants in Music yesterday. Pass it on. Ray said he heard him rip a loud one just before but he timed it with the loud tuba part.
Candace Bunko lost her tampon floating on the Lazy River.
Pass it on.
The janitor with a claw hand I don’t know his name got the claw when he was trying to unclog the mower at the fifty-yard line. Pass it on. They had to rip up all the bloody grass before the game that week.
Randy shot his wad in his pants while slow dancing with Steph Byers at Snowflake. Pass it on. Call him Shooter. Pass it on.
Gordy’s dog died of thirst and you know his dad’s a cop so they couldn’t let that get out so they chopped it up and threw it in a fire barrel and said it ran away. Pass it on.

Dirt Doggin’ Snake Hoggin’
A healthy fear of POLICE
Fuckin’ drug dog got mud
all over my car seats

Snake Hoggin’ Dirt Doggin’
Beat desert meets the town lights
A pair of snakes lappin’
at acid rain puddles


In which our heroes…
. . . go to places where we don't belong-- mansions around the lake. We hang out and party and trash talk and take things not bolted down. A carved rock, a cracked birdfeeder, the mail . . .
. . . go to a flat land, like a desert, through a small town, forgotten, one of the ones that might have been something before, but is no longer anything. Things are run down, old, rusted, and ghostly. It’s a creepy place, but there’s a strong sense of nostalgia . . .
. . . go camping on the wooded beach. The tide starts to come in, and we have to move camp and food and firewood further and further back under the pines. The weather starts to get bad . . .
