My Saturday with the Mormons
Now that I’m older, my sisters are all married and have turned themselves into baby-spewing vending machines. They are spitting live fetuses out faster than machine gun bullets.

Mike Brown: The Girl’s Room

So I was thinking … The last Leviathan was mostly stuff that I wrote for SLUG that didn’t make it in. So this month I’m returning the favor to SLUG and its readers by giving you guys a story that will not make it in the next Leviathan. Instead it’s my SLUG article! It’s a true story about the time I met my favorite skater, Eric Koston. … read more
