A little shameless self-promotion for your Sunday – check out part of my latest series of Blue Pyramid Stories, featuring an amusing anecdote from high school…

John Boehner’s Tears Smell of Cantaloupe
Those of us who live in the phony-baloney, ocean-adjacent America know little of John Boehner. Of course, we’ve heard the tales of his 27-hour workdays whittling American Jobs out of plain fir wood in his Ohio-based Opportunity Laboratory. We’ve heard of his quest to bio-engineer a giant human ear that is to be staked to his chest cavity so he may finally Listen to America in the way that we never could. And perhaps, it is because of our inferior listening skills that we’ve never before heard his suffering.

Meme Hunters – Join the Clan
I’ve recently created a facebook page called, Meme Hunters: Who Thinks They Can Win the Internet?
The tentative idea is to have a huge cross-section of internet people contributing viral material to the page, as a way to both draw attention to their respective websites, but also as a way to really determine who has the internet inside dope. Ideally, I’d like to link some classic meme-droppers to the side bar like BoingBoing, LaughingSquid, various Redditors, etc.
Obviously, I can’t create this community alone. I would really appreciate your help in getting out the word to the super-serious-Hall-of-Fame-caliber internet junkies out there. Let’s see how amazing this page can be.
