LPSG

I'm beginning to suspect that not all the people at the Large Penis Support Group website I frequent (LPSG.org) are there for purely medical reasons.  I mean, if it's such a crippling problem having an armadillo in your trousers, why is one of the main forum sections dedicated to enlarging the unit?  What kind of sense does that make?  I doubt there's a section on the Crohn's Disease support forums for enhancing the violence and duration of one's colon spasms.  I think these people should admit the truth, very few of the hundreds of visitors to LPSG are actually looking for help dealing with the trauma associated with being a walking life support system for their trouser snake.  I mean, I am, lord knows that's the only reason I go there, but the rest of those people?  They should have such problems.

My Pug Oscar

My dog loves drinking coffee and being awesome, and not in that order.  True story, and not many people know this.  His name is Oscar because I was nominated for an Oscar for some work I did on a documentary about the plight of migrant workers in post-agrarian societies.  Swear to God, true story.  Yep.  Actually, that's not true at all, it's because the missus & I met while watching the Oscars over at a mutual friend's house.  It was the year Titanic won every award, and the only thing of interest to me during the show was seeing Elliott Smith sing Miss Misery (from Good Will Hunting) to 1 Billion people.  I thought I'd never seen a musician I loved look so out of place until a year later, when Aimee Mann was on stage singing Save Me (from Magnolia).  Aimee Mann is so notoriously stage awkward that in the past she's brought professional comedians on tour with her to handle her between song banter.  Of course, Elliott Smith was so emotionally crippled that he eventually killed himself with a steak knife, so maybe he holds the title in that contest.
