I'm out Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but I thought I'd leave you with some things to look at...

For your morning coffee?

You can drink the blood of minority's babies out of it!

Perfect for dosing your playmates with LSD. Then, because it's Krafft you can plant a philodendron in it to fool the authorities.

Sometimes I feel disappointed that I'll never get an opportunity to kick Charles Manson in the balls.

JESUS CHRIST! No, seriously, it's Jesus Christ not Charlie Manson or else it every other Jesus freak that used to testify on every corner of every college town back the early 1970s. What a minute...I get it - it's Charlie's vision of himself as a messianic figure. Boy them artistes sure are smart fellas! But shouldn't this mug have a spooky resemblance to John Lennon to be compeletely accurate as to Manson's dream self?

These "Pitchfork Pals" come as tea pots and Chia Pets, too. We made a list of
tabloid trash and nefarious celebrities that included Tanya Harding and Mary Kay Latourno,
but these don't have as much longevity and cross cultural appeal as, say, Amy Winehouse. This is sad because we'd like to do some "Pitchfork Pals" who could be appreciated by nominally intelligent and worldly people here and abroad like the vain French showboater Bernard Henri Levy and the Bader Meinhof Gang's irrepressible Horst Mahler.
