The sky over Manitoba was the color of mackerel,

  • The sky over Manitoba was the color of mackerel, surfing the wrong channel. The hibachi sizzled as Sandy MacPherson scanned the police bands, hoping that The Watercolourist
  • who painted her obscene portrait would soon be arrested so she could commence the vigorous beating she'd arranged. Sandy reasoned that he was a pretty crappy painter anyway, so
  • she got him a job as a barrista. That's what all the really crappy painters do for work. He got giant, plastic spacers in his ears, a trucker hat and tribal tattoos and on his

  • That is I became a big scary piece of felt. It was a natural unwashed animal fibre felt, I think it was Yak & it reeked. Was this my prize? I felt someone rub there feet on my felt
  • loins, and I felt degraded. Slightly excited, but degraded. What kind of game show was this, that the million $ prize was stinky Yak skin?Panda-pelt maybe...but Yak-skin? No way.
