Stress Test

“Cultist deep-state actors use petroleum to communicate with ancient, supernatural evil and co-opt a couple’s new home, perched high on a hill, aiming to control the fleet of global defense ships. The Deep State is conducting a final test to gauge how effectively COV-19, wielded as a cudgel, has prepared Earth’s population for an impending galactic war. The Satanic Deep State’s AI has underestimated the residents of Dysmal Nitch, who, armed with old-school analog technologies and ancient wisdom, unite to defend their home.”

Rural Route 2, Oklahoma in the 80’s and lots and lots of spiders.

Trigger Warning: there is an abundance of spiders, ticks and scorpions in this story. An animal dies and generally this is a pretty damn dark story, and nobody should read it.

I see spiders. Spiders find me. I have nutty interactions with spiders almost every week. They will slide down a web in front of my face. Come over and sit beside the mouse while I work at the computer. They’ll come and do dishes with me. Spiders are my spirit animal and it’s horrific. Why not owls? Or birds? Maybe a sharp billed Raven. I would take a possum or even a grasshopper. Why Spiders oh’ Universe?

He has worked tirelessly for over a year now to relocate himself indoors.

Artist takes a stab at drawing Ron Paul as a Gnome with a fish For no damn good reason.

Ron Paul’s MEGA Outboard Motor

This story has zero purpose. It is very silly. Ron Paul (seen here as a barely recognizable and poorly rushed doodle as a gnome…) … well the citizens of Dysmal Nitch build a giant outboard MEGA motor to convince Ron Paul to come and visit and fish.
