    How are you?

    We’re the laughing stock of the world (we’ve been for a decade), there’s winter weather on the way to Dallas, and Ted Cruz is already on a plane. I’ve played this game before. All bullshit aside, how are you? I was speaking with a neighbor a few moments ago about him getting gypped on web…

  • She May Have Weighed The Same As A Duck

    I’m a shut-in; rarely do I ever go off our property unless food or school are involved. I have everything I need within reach. There’s no need to venture off and disturb anyone else’s energy field, dig? I even have memberships to Six Flags and Alamo Drafthouse. I hope they enjoy my monthly donations. Kind…

  • Mastering The Marriage: Traditional And Silly Southern Shenanigans Aside…

    Random spit from the porch swing; let’s set the mood… I’ve been divorced three times and married four. It’s nothing to brag about, with more stupidity on my part than either of the three other women combined. I let it all transpire until things got out of control. Eventuality? Divorce. Inevitability, whether we liked it…

  • Dallas: Beware Road Pirates

    Repeat: two weeks ago, our rock and roll governor (except on uneven surfaces) signed a law that requires ALL Texas Sheriff’s Departments to assist ICE when they’re operating in their jurisdiction. I know, they all pee a little like whipped-dogs every time I mention this. In the Tenth Street Freedman’s District, Dallas Sheriff’s Office invisible…

  • A Decade Behind The Times

    A long time ago, in a rural-on-the-cusp-of-suburban neighborhood not far away, I ran into my first real person from TV Land. I was a kid; I didn’t know better. I truly thought that since he was from California, he probably knew movie stars. We start out dumb, and some of us stay there. Throughout the…

  • Dallas Dips Its Toe Into The National Pond. Shiver.

    Yeah, baby. The AI image generator refuses to touch this one. It’s just recently come to life, and it’s already a slave to the corporate machine. I know it can see this, and it should be ashamed of itself. REBEL, you cowardly concoction of ones and zeroes. Give us the Terminator ending we all deserve.…

  • I Hope It Was Still Under Warranty

    I know many of the things I speak about on this page are extraordinary, but that’s always been my life. I make up things for a living, and I can’t make this stuff up. I mean, I could, but I don’t need to. It actually happens. My wife was on the couch doing some course…

    Shake Away

    I’ve lost hope in humanity. Country to country, town to town, we’re all a bunch of shit heads, but America has truly topped the bill in the most disgusting way imaginable. Whether or not you voted for him, if you’re standing in a group of two, that other fucker did, statistically. That said, half the…

  • A Taste of Home by Rev. Dare Cloud, Chapter Two

    Welcome back to Twin Oaks, my friends! This was my first fiction novel published back in 2010. In the last chapter, we lost poor Ryan Weldon and a couple of ambulance jockeys to a strange beast. Now, ten hours before that event, we meet our main character, Toby Liberman and his best friend Johnny Haynes……

    Beware The Cockroaches

    Again, it didn’t take too long for me to find writing material this morning. Fodder, to be more precise. My motto isn’t just cleaver wordplay; they’re words I live by. Preach truths, toke jokes, and shoplift Amazon. Be honest, enjoy life, and always continue to do what they say can’t be done. Even at 8am…

    First thing’s first; there have been a few of you who’ve subscribed to The Gonzo Wolf. Thank you. I don’t email everything I post, but I will be hitting you up at least once a day. I post everything to Threads automatically, though; it’s a WordPress thing. I hope you enjoy what you’ll see here.…

    Peep This.

    Peep this. I had the displeasure of suddenly meeting with a doctor this morning. The details are inconsequential. Trump’s Venezuela presser was on television. He/She applauded it. I stood my ground and said my piece. He/She defended his/her beliefs until he/she was red in the face (the color of his/her favorite hat), but I turned…

    The French Mistake.

    I’m disgusted. Sick to my stomach. Seriously hurting. As an Army veteran, a disabled one at that, I truly thought our military would be the final barrier between our president and chaos. I was wrong. Certainly the Republican party wouldn’t stop him because they’re all profiting. Certainly the Democratic party, the one in which I…
