THE JO-TEL …believes some of what Nathaniel and John say, but believes England is still our sovreign

So I went on two dates this week: one on Wednesday night, one on Thursday.
Wednesday: Meh. Not necessarily bad. Just meh. The night got off to an inauspicious start when she insisted that McIntosh apples were spelled Macintosh. What was I supposed to do? Just let that stand?? And so yeah, that was probably the […]

Yes, even we at the Jo-Tel clean every once in a while. Sometimes, we'll let the maid go home early and we'll get our hands dirty and do things that normal everyday people do, like "Going to Work", and "Eating Yummy Carbs", and in this case "Cleaning out the Refrigerator".
 

This will be a short post, but I just want to preface it by promising that I will not throw in Shakesprearean language like "methinks" or "betimes" and think it's funny or witty. In fact, I won't even insert such language and think that it's NOT funny or witty. I'm just not going to do […]

If any one photograph perfectly captures what it means to be Hip E., it might be this one.

Russian Futurist Vladimir Mayakovsky:
So what if a statue of me grows out from a big big rose in a square where whores with rough trade and the clap spit pa-tooey! I’ve had every kind of bullshit up to here! Give me one love song: They’re nice and they get the money. Anyway I […]

Everyone at the Jo-tel and most of our Friends and Fambly are either sick, immediately recovering from sickness, or using saved up white blood cells to fend off some illness that has already entered our body. Every drink of booze, every late night results in someone phoning in sick to the afternoon-after day-trip to […]

Yesterday after a couple tall German beers at Soupenkuchen, the idea for The Jack Off seemed impossibly awesome to me. Now, sober and at work the next morning, in the cold hard light of reason … IT STILL SEEMS AWESOME. There will be (ideally) five or six participants, along with a small throng […]
