burrito unicorn care

make sure to keep "people food" away from your burrito unicorn

burrito unicorns have a very, very fragile digestive system and should only be fed their native diet of jellybeans and green salad


nothing is more painful to watch than a diarrhea rainbow pouring out of a poor little burrito unicorn's ass

BELIEVE IT!

take care of your burrito unicorn and it'll take care of you

(from the upcoming "burrito unicorn instruction manual" zine)

keep your burrito unicorn in the house in the morning

our burrito unicorn will roam the neighborhood if you let it out...

keep it in check.

burrito unicorn will knock over trash cans with abandon and
scarf down any random trash he finds

BELIEVE IT!


keep burrito unicorn inside in the mornings
or on a leash..

your neighbors will hate you if their trash is strewn all over the place.

the return of cobra alarm clock

oh, cobra alarm clock...

it's getting harder and harder to keep up with your demands everyday

you need more attention than I can offer you in these
dark winter months

please..

just keep it down in the morning..

especially, when I'm trying to sleep

I know it's your job to wake people up...
take a vacation once in awhile and don't be so good at what you do..

you're making the rest of us look bad

this is what happens if you don't wash your car

I haven't washed my car in over six years..
it's kind of weird, because I wash dishes as soon as I'm done with them. I'm pretty clean and organized with most everything else.

but..the outside of a car
no way!

I just don't care

I can always find something I have to do more than wash a car

look at it!!
there's moss growing on there!

YAYER!!

go little moss GO!!

the haggard scratches are from some chains that broke on Snoqualmie Pass about five years ago during a crazed snowstorm.

the snowstorm had an intensity level of 100%

we were just stoked to get out of there alive.

if you ever have to chain up, don't push the chains to their absolute limit.. follow the guidelines.

If you don't, your car will end up looking like mine

draw session!

draw session with Karl Addison and Adrian...

HELL YEAH!!




so much fun!

THESE GUYS RULE!!!

this experiment= tremendous success

just in case you were wondering..


and I know you were

The George Foreman Grill cooks hash browns perfectly!

FUCK YEAH!!

a key to a brighter today

step 1:
get a packet of hot cocoa

step 2:
add hot water and mix it up in a mug
(preferably a bunny mug)

step 3:
drink cocoa through one of those thin red straws.
it makes hot cocoa so much more fun to drink
and at the same time it makes you feel like a little kid again.

multitask that cocoa!

step 4:
repeat

new ink

I finally went out and got some good, new oil-based ink.
I love this stuff
I don't know why I deprived myself from it for so long.

It takes longer to dry, but it's worth it.

c'mon new ink!! let's make this happen!

don't shake vending machines!!

vending machines are just that... they're machines

machines have been building up resentment for a long time now

DON'T ADD TO IT!!

the robot apocalypse AKA the robot uprising is on its way.
stay on their good side, if you know what's best for you


sometimes a vending machine will strike back,
tip itself over and crush a person...

that's one less pesky human to deal with during the upcoming
robot vs. human war.

believe me, they're like elephants.. they don't forget

if you don't know what I'm talking about..
go rent the Terminator movies now!

... and leave that bag of chips dangling in the vending machine

wish list

I thought of something I want today
I don't usually make wishes
but, this is important

When this life comes to an end and I get reincarnated
I really want to come back as a happy sea lion

basking in the sun and sleeping on a beach somewhere

I'd like it to be on a beach that has banned "baby seal clubbers"

that way I won't have to look over my shoulder all the time to keep out of harms way

holiday sales

this time of year, retail stores have tons of sales..
but, at the same time they are always complaining that profits are down..

I came up with some new sales ideas for the wide world of retail


"buy one item, get the second item.. at full price!"


"buy one, get zero for FREE!"


"buy two for the price of three!"


"buy one item, get a receipt for FREE!"


"buy one item and we will make a wish in your name to an imaginary unicorn and various tree gnomes.. for FREE!"

YAYER!!!

reverse nap

I've been out of it all day.

I woke up last night at 1am and stayed up till 3:30am
then got up again at 7:30am

I blame it on the full moon last night


waking up in the middle of the night for a short interval equals a reverse nap


reverse naps can be useful for;
productivity
multitasking
wasting time
having fun


but this one didn't work out as good as it could have.
sometimes they backfire

FACT: whales love bad art

see any bad art laying around?

grab it up quick and bring it down to the ocean.
the whales are starving and love the taste of it.


bad art to whales is what cake is to humans
help out a whale belly and get some bad art down there...
PRONTO!!


they will gently eat it right out of your hand
and you will love it!

it is our job to keep these beautiful mammoths of the sea well fed.
they can't live on microscopic plankton alone

save these whales from a bland diet

urban indoor camping

I slept in a tent that I set up in my apartment for a year.

I went on this really fun roadtrip down the Oregon Coast
and when I got back, I decided to keep the dream alive.

I set up the tent
put some sleeping bags in it
hung some blue Christmas lights
(to give the illusion of the moon at night)...

and burned cedar scented incense all the time..

I was great!!

I ended up getting a blow-up type mattress and it put too much pressure on the tent...
it ultimately brought the tent down.

those were the days..




I have to get a new tent soon... and relive the glory!
