New episode up on today’s MVRT Marriage is part of a continuing series from writer, illustrator, publisher, and dimensional contortionist Tony Jonick. Take yourself a two-minute 29 second journey to the icy border between East and West here.
In the elevator at the Best Western across from Disneyland
He had a Mickey Mouse hat
and a Donald Duck shirt
and a nose that was just
and a nose that was just
and a nose that was just
plain goofy.
Slowly
Just because you turn
slowly slowly
to check her out
slowly
as she walks past
doesn’t mean
that she don’t notice.
x-post: MVRT – the money, and the love, and the everybody
A brand-new episode is now up on ye olde Monkey Vortex Radio Theater: Everybody Loves Money. This four-minute phantastical was first written in Ubby-Dubby and then meticulously translated over to English by Bill “Mr.” Cassel. It features the voice talents of Christian “Mr.” Crumlish, Jeff “Mr.” Green, Bee “Ms.” Nisbet, Jolene “Mr.” Phelps, and Eric “eeeeee-rock!” Stone. But don’t take my word for it — hear for yourself at MVRT.
I’m pretty sure this is profound
So my 3-and-a-half-year-old son is busting kung fu moves in the living room yesterday. And his godfather asks him: “Did you learn that from Jackie Chan?” And my son replies: “No, I learned it from Chuck E. Cheese.”
Culturally deprived
“Snow!” he shouted
tossing clouds of
thin, white sand at the beach
making snowmen
out of sand
with their heads
lying down
and their arms are wet planks
and their toes knotted kelp
and they never melt
until the sun explodes.
A hard laugh
It was a hard laugh. A cold laugh. The kind of laugh that savages the funny.
It pulls the funny outside. Stuffs it into the trunk of a '79 Chevy Impala.
Takes the funny for a ride.
It was a hard, joyless laugh. And it kept on coming.
Different
I must be someone very different to him than I am to me.
Maybe I'm some fast-talking jack-ass some know-it all jerkweed some high-maintenance poindexter.
If he saw me in a bar he would hate me in that bar.
I hope god doesn't see me through his eyes.

Some minor regrets
I should have gone to the bathroom when I had the chance. I should have got myself a coffee before the coffee shop closed. I should have not said that thing that I said. I should have just let it go. Let it go.
