Fascist-Dogma-Nectar Overflow


Know that it’s not cool to jump off a Subway restaurant. It just isn’t. My brother was neither holy nor insane, so I can’t tell you why he did it.

“I am an IED and this Walmart life is a short fucking fizzle,” was all he kept shouting down to the security guards and latex-gloved sandwich artists waiting to catch him.

Fearing that the slip-of-tongue might cause some friction with a minor fast food butt buddy (and more importantly, a possible decline in sales in the Global Regression aisle), Walmart decided to sue the entire town for malicious suburban redundancy.

We thought we had a pretty decent case until they brought in the Disney lawyers, who immediately started handing out 10-percent-off passes to Space Mountain to the judge, the non-Hispanic members of the jury, and every third octogenarian who promised to buy a Five Dollar Foot-long. That’s when we knew they’d take everything.

Now my brother can’t go to the U2 concert next week because he doesn’t have eyes anymore. None of us do. Just old, raw sockets. It really isn’t cool.
