Today, we have a very special guest here on Bigmouth. Perhaps one of my very favorite things about him, other than the fact that he’s very cool, and very kind, is that in order to Google him and come up with the right guy in your search, you must add the word “Hitler” after his [...]
Tomorrow evening, I’m doing a super fun reading series called Quickies! Quickies! is a monthly reading of very short prose. Each reader has five minutes to read a complete work of prose. No excerpts. No cheating. No nonsense. They blow whistles and kazoos and all sorts of stuff at readers if they go over five [...]
People, I have been inside the walls of the Sprawling Ramshackle Compound and it is awesome.
That’s right! Last night, Momma’s Boy an I attended a fancy (veg and carnivore!) barbeque at the home of Bubs, Miz Bubs, and their daughters, Dystopia the Zombie Pin-Up and Little Deadly Nightshade, and hung out with many other fine [...]

We must catch up.
My grandfather is back in the hospital, or he has been in the hospital for a few days and when we know the exact cause of his symptoms, we can decide how to proceed with his healing. Until then, we wait. When he was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago, [...]
The Quickies! Reading was super fun. I am super-excited to read next month and hope some a-youse can come show me your smiling faces when I do. The delightful Ben Tanzer covered most of the major points of Tuesday evening in his post, so, I’ll only add that Mary and Linsday both read pieces I [...]
