  58. Gary Thayer on October 1, 2026 at 1:08 am

    I figured I’d take myself out for a date. Have a few drinks, walk my ass back to the front door. Ask myself if I wanna come inside. And by the end of the night I end up taking advantage of myself. Aint no gettin’ around that. Makin’ a scene with a magazine. Ya know how it is. Why lie? I need a fuckin’ beer! Kick down so I can get down….at this point I’d take a bottle in front of me over a frontal lobe.
