Reviews

[Curtis · Rating 4 out of 5]

You can't wake up without a scalding coffee enema. Life is hard, that's why you bash your head against it. Poetry is stupid until it isn't. This guy wrote a book with Blake Butler, so I wasn't confused so much as confused. Can you help me apply this hemorrhoid cream? My hands can't reach the back of my human centipede.
