Pissin’ Post
According to Wiktionary, a Pissin’ Post is a cylinder-shaped public urinal, formerly us as a site for posting public notices. We can only surmise that not all the public notices were well received by local residents. Thanks to Al Gore, we now have the internet and an array of social media sites which means you can piss on someone’s posts anywhere and anytime. Isn’t that great!
If you’re infuriated by someone’s improper use of there, their, or they’re, or the word “irregardless” puts a blister on your boil, you don’t have to sit back and take it. Yank down your drawers and let the verbal urine spew like a fire hose—just look out for the splash back. You’re bound to get some on ya.

Trailer Park Paradise
If your trailer park sits atop an old nuclear waste dump, check out Vern “Duck Lips” Radon’s glowing travel article, “Hallowed Ground,” where Radon extols the benefits of living atop a radioactive landfill.
“Everyone can name at least one superhero who gained special powers after being exposed to nuclear waste. Who knows, your kid might fall in a drainage ditch and come out Mutant Kung Fu Crawdad.”
Radon goes on to say, “Hair loss has its advantages too. Just think of all the money you’ll save on razors, shampoo, trips to the beauty shop, and lice removal.”

Is there an alternative?

Dear Duck Lips,
How nice to see you on the purple side of town. Thank you for your glowing article. Your radiating words have been missed in these here parts. Not to mention, I’ve gone nameless for months. Shine on. Shine on. Thank you for pissing on our posts. And may the Schwartz be with you.
Shalom,

Dear Lilly Von Lavender W(T)F,
Thank you for the kind reception. I’ve read your post and it’s very piss-worthy. I’m sure your remember my post from years gone by regarding your addiction and the medical profession’s inability to find a cure or even slow the growth of your passion for purple. Thankfully, it’s not contagious. I suspect we’ll soon see a watercolor rendering of Ms Fox glowing photo on Facebook. I’ll be sure to put on my radiation-protective hazmat suit and welding googles before looking at it.
Enjoy your new coloring book,
“Duck Lips” Radon

Dear Duck Lips Radon,
Remember your story? Had you been paying attention you might have noticed that I posted a link that poignant cautionary tale.
Googles? You have welding googles?
I always enjoy coloring books. Pictures of grapes, violets, all things purple.
Shalom, Lilly Von Lavender W(T)F

Dear Lilly,
Of course I saw the wingback, but by not mentioning it I provided you a pissin’ opportunity. That was one of my better posts and I’m flattered that you would remember something that happened more than 2 minutes ago. I guess chewing on crayon wrappers really does improve memory.

I never understood why superheros had to be attractive. What if Wonder Woman weighed 240 wore a mumu instead of tights? Would I still love her and admire her crime fighting ability? Hold on before you throw that Lasso of Truth. I may need legal representation.

As ever, I enjoyed your intro as much as your story, Russell. Looks like someone needs to see a doctor if they’re pissing purple though! Where exactly did “Dr” Vern Radon get his phd? I’m not sure I quite agree with his theories, but I guess science is all about disagreement, especially online!

Thanks, Jen. I do enjoy writing the intro and it often garners more comments than the actual story.
It seems a lot of people disagree with science these days. As a friend once told me, “People believe what they want to believe.”

So funny (as fiction.) Not sure if you watch TV but have you seen a series called, “The Oblongs”? They live at the bottom of the hill, where all of the toxic stuff rolls down to. It’s a hilarious show (as fiction.)

Living in a house with 2 sons and 1 husband for 20-something years before the offspring flew the coop, I know the meaning of spew like a fire hose. Sadly, I am insufficiently equipped.
