Tek War (EON Entertainment)

The drug war, is hard. We will always have drugs. People need drugs. But they need to be clean. Clean and pure.

The CIA, is an elite agency, with five branches; officer, the child of a priest as a female dominatrix on top, Halloween. Instructor, the child of a priest as a female dominatrix on bottom, Halloween. Spymaster, the child of a priest with an FBI prostitute on, New Years. Agent, the murder of a cleared IQ exam, of mother, through father. Fraud, a financial scandal on draft to the Food and Drug Administrator, combat instructor farce.

This is the story, of Dave Charlebois, Delta Force Criminal Warfare, Kara Williamson Daignalt, United Nations Anti-Sniper, Lloyd Ahlquist, Annapolis Psychiatric Torture.

NSA/IRA, undercover cop, espionage history. "Chet".

CIA/UN, liquor sales, poverty investment, "Crux".

FBI/Psychiatric Union, forensic specialist, prisoner repeal, "Mercy".

The Hague, Man Mar Plaza, Beth-Deaconess Hospital.

The Bridgewater Triangle, and the Carolina Panthers.

You each, will receive a cultural landmark, on the world created by your parents, for your epic ballad, through the MI-6 unit you are to oppose, as SIS.

The Matrix, the story of the internet. "Cypher", faces "Trinity".

Final Fantasy, the story of the apocalypse. "Terra", faces "Cid".

James Bond, the story of economic hitmen. "Felix Leiter", faces "007".

Garfield, Fillmore, Kennedy.

The Masonic Lodge, the Alchemist's Book, the Sewer Unions.

You will all meet, off your homes. Cypher was on Gamespy, Terra was on Spam, Felix Leiter was on the Satanic Network.

We met at SW1, Parris Island.

This is the story, of "Goodnight Saigon", the legacy of the Vietnam War.

Beach Head, the story of Diamonds Are Forever. Cover Girl, the story of Fox News. Flint, the story of INTERPOL.

Our mutual enemy, South Park, the most hated construct we have ever faced and never watched, out of Hopkinton Public, Faye Private, and Dunaway Academy, in a sleepy town with a Freemasonic Temple and a grocery store.

Chet, was selected to develop his father's brand, the National Crime Syndicate, into cyberspace writing, DC Comics. Crux, was selected to take Physics, to the level of interstellar communications, the iPhone. Mercy, was selected to turn the entire planet, into a single forest, of marijuana on taxed debt.

The three of them, enlisted in their secondary units, through Sandi MacDonald, on behalf of MI-6 headmaster, Ronald Reagan; Chet, the IRA, Crux, the UN, and Mercy, the Psychiatric Union.

Each was contacted privately by Raven Laventi, "Black Widow", and assigned to a secondary mission.

Chet, was assigned to clean a STARS team, for the Nixon Presidential Society. Crux, was assigned to make contact with Carlos the Jackal, for the ACLU. Mercy, was assigned to develop medications with the illicit narcotics developed inside Princeton labs, for use on field tests on animals to harvest corn, tuna, and cotton.

The key to winning, isn't staying in close contact, it's being willing to work on poverty.

Your family stole billions of dollars of credit, furniture, music, real estate, liquor, tax dollars, and political handmanship, from Richard Milhouse Nixon, with Comedy Central. The ZODIAC Commission, George Soros.

Thanksgiving approaches, and we all know how fond Safin Lucypher, Alex Gaetano, is of the holidays. She's a Capone, and Vermont State Police, put a badge on her, during the Roaring Twenties, through President Coolidge.

iZombie 5x10 "Night in the Zombie City" Review

With just three episodes of iZombie left, we are inching closer and closer to the truth about the cure, and characters are going to more drastic measures as time ticks on. 

For this week’s murder, a young sex worker and private eye detective are killed back to back. Liv eats the detective’s brain, bathing the episode in noir. Sad saxophones, light bars across the eyes, and long trench coats. A thunderstorm plays in the background for the whole episode, making every scene feel like a dark and stormy night. The power goes out in the station, giving it a 50’s black and white movie vibe. Bunny, the sex worker, was one of Candy’s girls, so the investigation naturally winds up at Don E Be Good’s. All signs point to the waitress, Jane, who ends up returning to the scene of the crime. Blaine confronts her near the bar, and right before Jane is about to shoot him, Crybaby comes in and knocks her out cold. Blaine eats her brain in hopes of finding out more, and he has a vision. The private eye detective had managed to secure a cure for Bunny, and Jane caught wind of it. Trying to steal the cure for herself, she killed both of them. Of course, getting another cure would be in Blaine’s best interest, and so he eats Jane’s brain in hopes to figure out where she stashed the cure. 

Blaine and Liv cross paths at the private eye’s office while working on the case, but tensions finally boil over between the two when they are looking for the cure in the kitchen of Don E Be Good’s. Peyton gets Liv to come out drinking, and Peyton drowns her sorrows and delivers wobbly karaoke. The fun comes to an abrupt end when someone tells Peyton that she was a bad mayor. She tells him exactly what she thinks about that by sockin him right in the mouth. A huge bar fight breaks out. “Seriously? On karaoke night?” Don E moans. If only he knew the knockout, drag-out Liv and Blaine were having in the back. This is certainly not the first time that these two have come to fisticuffs, but this time it gets ugly. Crybaby intervenes again, with more intentions to kill. Right before he brings the bat down on Liv’s head, Clive comes to the rescue. Blaine throws Crybaby under the bus for Jane’s murder, which is what Blaine does, and Crybaby truly should not be shocked about it.

 Peyton is also arrested. Poor girl is clearly having a hard time dealing with not being mayor anymore. Now that she’s off the hook for all of Seattle’s problems, what else does she have to do? “Did I ever tell you I wanted to be a paleontologist?” she tells Liv. “Seems hard to get fired from that job.” I hope in the next three episodes, Peyton can get her groove back, rather than taking up an extended stay in Margaritaville and getting arrested for bar fights. 

Another character who has been under a lot of stress lately, as well as a new relationship, is Don E. In a bought of frustration, he calls the murders a “hassle” for business, which rubs Darcy the wrong way. Confused about what he said, Liv soothes him while sipping on hard liquor. “Dames got you dizzy, Don E. It’s what dames do.” He has a sweet moment with Candy, where she encourages him to get Darcy back, and it seems a little bit like a final goodbye. Candy has been an unsung hero of this series. She has never had a full plot on her own, unfortunately always at the mercy of the unethical men in her life. We aren’t often in tune with her thoughts and feelings, but she has been with us since the beginning. So when we see her steal the cure for herself and get on the back of a sexy motorcycle, I cheered out loud. Cue the Lucille Bluth “Good for her!” gif! Although it sets our heroes back, yet again ending an episode cure-less, I can’t help but feel like out of all the people to get one of the rare original cures, Candy deserves it the most. Be free, Candy! 

Darcy agrees to speak to Don E, and she tells him that she was angry at his reaction to Bunny because his chief concern was finding a replacement for her. Darcy doesn’t have much time left, so she was worried that would be Don E’s reaction to her death as well. Don E has matured the most out of any character on this show, and so when he tells Darcy that he’s hardened by all the death in his life, but still loves her, it feels like a hard won, vulnerable moment from him. He asks Darcy to marry him, which was the perfect mix of corny and sweet. At first I was sure that we would see Darcy die by the end of the season, but I’m beginning to wonder if the show has a future for these two after all. If there’s any zombies standing after Liv and Martin’s showdown, that is. 

Ravi wastes no time telling Liv the truth about her father, that he also, in fact, is Father of all Zombie-kind. In turn, she wastes no time confronting him about it. Not only is she angry that he withheld something so major, it also means he holds the key to the cure. He created the recipe for utopium that could be the solution to all their problems. He quickly tells her that he was high all the time in those days, so there’s no way he remembers the recipe. The audience knows this isn’t true, and it’s only a matter of time before Liv and the group find out. But not before Ravi lapses judgement a little and tells Martin he was testing rats with Max Rager, the energy drink that gives extreme psychological effects. When it’s paired with utopium, it turns people into zombies. Ravi explains that it stimulants the frontal cortex. Martin seems incredibly interested at this piece of information, and we found out later that Max Rager is the last piece of the puzzle that he needs to control his army. 

At Fillmore Graves, Major is begging for a distraction from the negotiations with the government. His second gives him a note that the keycard system needs to be replaced. While she mentions that it’s “just boring stuff,” it turns disturbing fast. Major catches a janitor with a huge carton of Max Rager with two keycards. When Major tells him that he wants to ask him some questions, the janitor runs into a shower hook, impaling his brain rather than talk. When Ravi hears what the janitor was trying to steal, he brings up to Liv the conversation he had with Martin. Liv proposes sneaking into Martin’s house while he’s in an AA meeting, and boy do they hit the motherlode. Not only do they find the exact recipe from the night of the yacht party that created the first zombie outbreak, but they find the army too. Ravi pulls aside the curtain, hoping for an escape route, and finds a pack of Romeros staring back at him behind a cage. 

Meanwhile, two of the weakest plots of the show finally meet each other and seem to resolve. As a little recap, Hi Zombie is the webseries that Peyton got fired for funding. The premise is two families move in next door to each other — one human, one zombie — and they root out all the stereotypes they have against each other. Every clip or scene we’ve seen of this show has been didactic and a little forced, but surely it was a plot device to build some kind of crucial bridge. The threat of nuclear warfare has been looming over New Seattle for quite some time now, and I mean a long time now. I understand this is a big decision, but it’s been stretched to the point of taking the wind out of the story’s sails a bit. I never actually believed that New Seattle would get nuked, and now we know it’s probably not going to. Why? All because of Hi Zombie! The chairman walks in on her grandson watching the show, and leans over to watch it with him for a while. Over the course of the evening, she has a change of heart about the zombie community. When it comes down to a vote on whether or not to nuke the town, she breaks the tie by voting no. “They have the capacity to become monsters” she says, but she can’t base her vote on “for fear for what they might become.” All of this is certainly not good enough for General Mills, who pays a phone call to our favorite local criminal, Dolly. These two make a toxic team up, for sure, but how will they factor in to the grand finale?

Final thoughts:

Ravi does an amazing noir detective monologue that I can only assume is based off Harrison Ford’s Bladerunner voiceover 

Was it just me, or was there extra alcohol in this episode? 

“I’ll sleep when I’m dead” “You’re already dead.” It seems unbelievable to me this joke hasn’t been played yet 

“We’re not talking about your book. By the book. My book.” I’m going to miss Malcolm Goodwin rolling with every brain swing. He’s exasperated by a brain nearly every week, but this one particularly got under his skin. He tells Liv she’s off the case until she eats a brain tube, but that certainly doesn’t stop her. 

“That was just a love tap!” 

I always feel frustrated when this show uses terribly dated language, like “hooker” and “junkie.” It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 

“The classic lamp reveal.” Finally, a brain that matches Blaine for his dramatics. 

Don E’s laugh when Peyton starts singing is pure iZombie 

“We’re going to Don E Be Good’s.” “Good’s enough!” Again — so obvious but brilliant.

“PATROL BOAT MACHINE GUN GETS QUARRY,” The Province (Vancouver). January 25, 1932. Page 1. ---- Customs Officers Arrest Six Men In Secret Cove. ---- CHARGE ATTEMPT TO RAM LAUNCH ---- Harboring Smuggled Liquor Accusation Faced By Sextette. --- AFTER a running battle in which customs officers opened fire with a machine gun, rifles and revolvers, six men were arrested Sunday at Secret Cove, Just north of Welcome Pass. They are charged with harboring 600 quarts of smuggled liquor. 

The men were captured on board a gasboat, Fisher Lassie, which was pursued and overhauled by the customs patrol vessel Despatcher. 

When ordered to heave to, ut is reported, the Fisher Lassie sped on and customs officers started firing at her. As the customs launch overtook the boat, according to James Barton, chief of the preventive service, and J. Healy, officer, the chase attempted to ram her. The customs vessel received a splintered rail and other slight damage. N

NO LIQUOR FOUND; CREW ACTIVITY OBSERVED. The arrested men are George Gorry. 148 East Sixth: Joshua Gorry, 4232 East Nineteenth; Thomas E. Gorry, 210 East Nineteenth: Walter Godda, 127 West Fifth street, North Vancouver: Thomas Melhus and Ralph Melhus of Granthams Landing. The Fisher Lassie, it us said, is owned by Philip J. Gorry of Vancouver. The accused appeared this morning before Magistrate C. L. Fillmore in District Police Court and were remanded for a week. Bail of $1000 each was granted accused and they are at liberty pending hearing. 

While cruising In the Gulf of Georgia on Sunday afternoon the Despatcher approached the Fisher Lassie, and the latter, it is said, at once fled, with the fast patrol launch in pursuit. Customs officers observed the Fisher Lassie’s crew heaving heavily-laden sacks over board. When overtaken in Secret Cove no liquor was found on the Fisher Lassie, according to report. 

The officers, however. have charged the crew with having fifty sacks, each containing twelve quarts of liquor, which had been unlawfully imported into Canada and on which customs duties were not paid. The officers suspect that smuggled liquor was received from some larger vessel in port. 

Officers are dragging to recover the sacks they say they saw going over-side during the chase.

What if Sarge got drunk

Contrary to popular belief, Sarge is not a tee-totaler. He just holds his liquor well, even when definitely over the legal limit. Never drives drunk, though.

Radiator Springs, in the order of their ability to hold their liquor (1 = best, 9 = worst):

1. Lizzie (don’t mess with this woman)

2. Sarge (carefully developed his alcohol tolerance; this kind of calculated experiment is his strange, weird hobby)

3. Doc (drinking skills honed with Smokey as undiminished as his racing skills)

4. Flo (Sho Girl, ‘nuff said)

5. Ramone (you should see his family’s wedding receptions–and a car quinceañera is totally different from a human one bc like… 15yo cars, man)

6. Sally (one of L1′s secret exams is Wine 101)

7. Mater (suprisingly, he’s a weepy drunk; but he can get his party on without alcohol so usually he doesn’t bother with it)

8. Lightning (not enough practice; prefers feeling like he’s in control)

9. Fillmore (too much crossfading)

Unranked: Red (doesn’t drink); Sheriff (doesn’t drink any more)

USA Tour, day 16

Our final internal flight is from Seattle down to California and it’s a much more casual affair than flying international. Sat on the back row next to Lynn from Taiwan I trace the course of the Pacific coast, a clear view in a cloudless sky through the starboard porthole.

Back on Californian soil! I was last here a year ago with my pal Willie J Healey. He and the boys are back out on tour in the UK with Sundara Karma as we speak and as lucky as I am to be here I am missing the craic with the laddies. But I’ll be seeing them soon for the last couple of dates.

Meanwhile back in San Fran the air is warm and there’s a wonderful softness to the light. It’s another city that needs to be seen to be believed - the streets slope up at gravity defying angles (has anyone played Crazy Taxi?) and I hope the park brake on the rental van is secure...

We check in at the Casa Loma Hotel on Fillmore Street, one of the less glamorous residences of the tour but probably my favourite: it’s rich in California vibe and strikingly similar in name and ambience to the Alta Loma from Ask The Dust by John Fante.

However the wonky floor and sloping beds combined with the rolling San Fran streetscape meant I’d have to wait until we were beyond the city limits before I would really know which way was up again.

JMac (FOH) finds a restaurant a few blocks north and some of us head down the hill for dinner. The Alamo Square Seafood Grill is a family owned fish joint and the waitress does a glorious job of remembering all 6 of our starter, main, dessert and wine selections by memory. I have pear salad, grilled snapper and split a peach cobbler and a floating island with Gerard washed down with a few glasses of Napa Valley Grenache. The food is probably the bestest freshest of the tour so far and the restaurant is the perfect blend of quality fare and fine wine but with a comfortable casual atmosphere.

Afterwards we head back up towards the hotel and stumble across ‘Originals Vinyl’ on the corner of Fillmore and Hayes.

Watching Bob Stanley in a record store is witnessing Bob Stanley in his natural habitat. He fingers the records with speed and finesse, his digits rifling rapidly through the racks, eyes scanning the sleeve and his brain computing and analysing the results, cross-referencing artist, issue and condition against his mammoth internal database.

A sparkle in his eye - and his haul of 12″s tucked firmly under his arm (I hear rumours that his house started subsiding on the end that he kept his record collection...) - he leaps between Country and Soul, pauses over Rock to recommend me a Louden Wainwright III, before darting to Disco to dig out that illusive early Bee Gees seven-inch. There’s something almost athletic about his manner, and it’s clear I’m witnessing a master: like watching Picasso paint, Ronaldo in the air or Taylor at the oche.

The rest of the evening I spend back in the casa with the windows open, the cool Cali evening air wafting gently while the Yankees play the Twins on the TV.

Awaken the following morning to a room bathed in soft California sunlight that streaks through the blinds and bounces about every white surface. Gerard, Silvia, James and myself head first to ‘Brenda’s Meat & 3 Three’ for a southern-style breakfast followed by a long walk to the northern coast of the San Fran Peninsula, heading down Fillmore Street, west on Broadway, down the Lyon Street Steps, through Presidio park eventually emerging to gasps and guffaws beside the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yonder to our gig and it’s our biggest show of the tour at the iconic Fillmore. They have a tradition of designing custom posters for shows at the venue and much of the interior wall space is filled with the colourful pieces - the Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, and The Who. Wilco, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, and among them even two for past Saint Etienne shows...!

Afore the show JMac and myself head out to catch the thrilling finale of the Diamondbacks/Rockies wildcard game but have to leave before it ends to catch Shawn Lee’s set. Shawn produced St Et’s recent ‘Home Counties’ album and will be supporting for the final three shows of the tour.

Sarah is in fine voice tonight and we have one of the best shows of the tour. It’s a touching moment when she hands her feather bower to a fan on the front row while all around him celebrate his acquisition and share in his joy. I felt like I was witnessing the very happiest moment of someone’s life and it is was a poignant reminder of just how much these gigs mean to people (another fan turned up in a home-made embroidered ‘Saint Etienne - Home Counties’ denim jacket!).

After the show Pete, John and myself head across the road to the Boom Boom Bar which is a classic dark Cali dive bar where the unseen of San Franciscan society gather to dance to the fantastic house band, a five-piece who’ve been playing here for twenty years. Pete has a hazy deja vu of a night in the same bar some years earlier and I swear there’s a twinkle of recognition in the bass players eye when he spots him sipping a Mojito on the dance floor...

Arise early, a little more shabby than normal, for the long drive down to Pomona Valley, in Los Angeles County. It’s a 6 1/2 hour drive (without LA traffic...), 410 miles: about the distance from London to Glasgow!

Stop at Denny’s for a round of their signature ‘Sizzlers’ followed by a gas station in the middle of Hicksville, CA that sells bumper stickers that say things like “Trump the chumps”, “Obamacare makes me sick” and “One Big Ass Mistake America”...

Continue south to a soundtrack of Jackson Browne. Fruit fields, oil derricks, farm land, a fleeting glimpse of a real-life twister and then more endless brush while an epic hazy mountain skyline scrolls slowly left to right on the horizon like a painted Hollywood movie backdrop.

Eventually the road rises up; traverse a final scenic mountain range; softly softly the rural becomes urban and finally we drop down via the I-5 into the Greater Los Angeles Area.

See signs for Santa Fe, San Bernardino and and Santa Barbara. Something called The Garlic Crab and something called Lemon Cuisine Of India. Pass the Rosebowl as featured in Depeche Mode’s 101 and the Santa Anita Raceway, Bukowski’s favourite track. Moments, snapshots, and characters from all of the greats: Paris, Texas, The Graduate, The Maltese Falcon.

A glimpse of a college football game. Modern American architecture and apartment buildings with communal pools. The LA river. Shopping plazas and strip malls. Interstate 10 and Highway 71. ARCO, Texaco, Petco, and AAMCO; hotels, motels, 7Eleven and Circle K. Endless suburbia, the most epic of all sprawling metropoli, people and their stories everywhere you look. The Tortilla Curtain; Columbo. Liquor stores and a coin laundry. Pawn shops, gun shops, El Pollo Loco. ‘Cadillacs of Crestview’. Palm tree upon palm tree and long shadows on pastel grey sidewalks.

It’s been a long day and it’s not over yet as we round a final No Right On Red and greet the stylish Glasshouse venue! Yours at last from LA, MM

Choice Hotels has just held the launch of a new property. The first of several projects in the area, Cambria Hotel Los Angeles precedes five additional hotels slated for LA Live, LA Spring Street, Anaheim, Glendale, and Calabasas. Napa and Sonoma are also in the plans.

Sex and Pizza

I started writing this piece with the idea that I would talk about late-night, post-show eats in Denver. As I wrote, I realized that I was writing specifically about pizza by the slice. As I wrote even more, it became clear that I was really just venting about my sex life. It would seem that I have f***ed my way through every after-hours pizza joint in the Queen City. Here is the short list of pizzerias and what I have to say about them and the men I explored along the way. There’s a lot of hot slices here.

The Pie Hole wins straight away for “Best Name.” It’s on South Broadway and is a great choice for a quick slice to coat your gut with cheese and grease while bombing through the dive bars and dance clubs.  Slices are quick and hot. Paper plates line the walls with amateur art and self-expression. I once declined the offer of a sexual encounter in the bathroom here even though I was wearing presentable undies.

The Marquis Theater snuggles down into LoDo where it hosts indie bands and pumps out some of the best late-night pizza in town. You have to buy a ticket to see the show, but even without tickets you can belly up to the antique facade and wend through the tight, bendy line to order pizza to go. It’s available by the slice (extra points!) or the pie, with vegan options available. This is not a restaurant. Take your slice and go back out on the sidewalk to stuff your maw with ‘za. On my first trip to the Marquis pizza line, I wasn’t hungry, but I ate a slice with a surface area larger than my head in an effort to impress a guy. He was hot and I wanted to have sex with him. Don’t think too hard about the logic of this one. It worked for me.

If you’re catching a show at the Fillmore or the Ogden theaters, your nearest pizza option might be Slice Works. It’s a big, glass, postmodern cube that hunkers the corner of Washington and Colfax, conveniently across the parking lot from the Argonaut Wine & Liquor store. It lacks a creative atmosphere, but the pizza is adequately… pizza. Slice Works is where I told a gin-drunk story to my date about my weird fantasy that the guy who mows my lawn has a crush on me. I dated that guy for way too long (the date guy, not the lawn guy), since he obviously wasn’t that into me and could never, ahem, perform when with me and he could with the other women that I knew he had banged because I asked them and they said he was great. Yeah. Great.

I have many pet peeves. If peeves were really pets, I’d be an animal hoarder. One of them is putting horrible and obscene things on pizza. White sauce on pizza is an abomination. Leafy greens do not belong anywhere near marinara sauce. Kale pizza is for people who won’t admit that they suck. Pizza is a delicate dance of hearty carbs, fruity sauce, and fatty cheese. Toppings should NEVER include more carbs. Take your mashed potatoes and go back to Portland. For this reason, I cannot endorse Ian’s Pizza, a hipster, snowflake, even-food-is-political pizza place, even though I’ve eaten there many times because it’s right around the corner from a venue that I frequent. Ian’s squats down near Coor’s Field and puts awful things on pizza. Broccoli, macaroni, rice and beans, sliced potatoes, ranch dressing…They also use jalapenos, which I consider to be unholy, but they are inexplicably popular in Colorado, so I’ll let that one ride. On a positive note, Ian’s sells baggies of “puppy chow” at the register, those delectable little nuggets of chocolate-peanut butter-powdered sugar ambrosia. I once slept with a guy who told me that his name was Ian and it very probably might have been.

Sexy Pizza. This place is just called Sexy Pizza. The slices are good, large, cheesy and if you don’t think that cheese is sexy, we have nothing more to talk about. I walked here in the rain with a hot guy who said that he loved me. We sat in the tiny storefront and steamed from the rain in the blissful heat of the ovens. We went there because I had slice vouchers that were swag from a show I had performed in. He was sleeping with someone else. He asked me to move to California with him and then redacted the offer two weeks later, but he didn’t mind if I never shaved my legs, like, ever. It’s located near Cheeseman Park, which I’m told used to be a gay cruising hotspot and where I once wore a denim miniskirt and made out with a guy and where a friend of mine who I’ve never slept with found a dead body. I want to emphasize that I am the only connection between pizza, bad fashion, cadavers, and feckless dudes. He moved to California and I still have his wine corkscrew, which is about all the screwing I got from him.

Next, we mosey onward back to Colfax, toward the Bluebird Theater and the Atomic Cowboy, which lives a double life as Denver Biscuit Company during the day and Fat Sully’s Pizza at night. Their biscuits are legitimately really good. I recommend the mushroom pot pie. The pizza is big and served late into the night, which is all that is required of post-show drunk food. I once had Mother’s Day brunch here with a guy I didn’t like but was still banging and his mom. Here is also where I broke up for no good reason over breakfast with the only quality guy that I ever met online after working an overnight shift and going on an unhinged rant against the drab and mousy desk-wallah in HR about overtime pay. This was surely my finest moment as a human being. The Atomic Cowboy is also where I went on a date with Guy 2 seven hours after banging Guy 1. I did not have sex with Guy 2 because I didn’t want to throw things off with Guy 1, even though it was technically non-exclusive.  Guy 1 broke up with me four days later for a tiny brunette who he met at a rave and who is exactly the same type as every other woman he’s ever dated. I am neither tiny nor brunette, but I can eat a slice of pizza with a surface area larger than my head, which means that I can probably eat her entire body in two bites.

Lastly, we head back downtown to Two-Fisted Mario’s. I haven’t been there, but I deployed the guy I’m currently sleeping with to investigate on my behalf. He’s extremely qualified to evaluate pizza because pizza is the only thing he really likes to eat. We ate pizza on our first date, on which he didn’t ask for sex and walked me to my door. We also ate pizza on most of our dates after that, punctuated by meals of chicken tikka masala during shark week. He doesn’t mind having sex then because “your body is always beautiful.” He tells me that the pizza is a solid B+ while sober. The wait for your slice is a bit long, which is hugely important when you’re drunk and needing to ingest grease and carbs before you topple over. Current Guy reports that toppings are limited, but “that’s ok because there’s always pepperoni and pepperoni is Good Enough when you’re drunk.” You *can* choose your own toppings, though. This is libertarian pizza. It also has the merits of being nearby to the downtown venues and being open late every night. He is not sleeping with anyone else.
