Laugh at Yourself First: The Unbearable Experimentation of the Insidious Dr. Dendrobates


Read "The Unbearable Experimentation of the Insidious Dr. Dendrobates," and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry at Laugh at Yourself First.

Someone please fill me in on this Lindsay Lohan/talking baby thing. I normally try to steer clear of pop crap like this. Unfortunately, it's the kind of news that unwittingly informs you while passing from one hospital waiting room to the next. I wasted nearly minutes reading news articles on the subject, and watched the commercial somewhere between three and five times, but couldn't figure out what base there was for paying attention. Is Lohan related to the writer, or maybe spent time with the gaffer? My friend Lindsey is fairly certain the commercial is about her, and the two don't even spell their name alike. That's a major point of contention among Linds (ee)'s. I'm only concerned because of the dangerous precedent being set. If one nut-case realizes how easily the legal system is manipulated for attention, every nut-case will realize how easily the legal system is manipulated for attention.

Dr. Dendrobates Act II will run through 3/25, followed by the next Witch King's Sword. My Isis poems have been published in Oblique Quarterly in Great Britain. My name is even on the cover, so I can knock another life goal off the list. There is a print edition, and I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of mine. "The Vampire of Doom City" continues at regularcrazy.blogspot.com. Do you know the story yet? Dr. Dendrobates Act III will start April 16th. If you're here with me in Binghamton, that's the same night as the release of my new book, Man-In-Sea, based on the life of Edwin A. Link Jr.

During the Depression, Ed Link built a carnival ride out of broken airplane fuselage and a set of bellows from his father's piano factory. That carnival ride has been credited with the defeat of the Luftwaffe, the creation of the flight simulator industry, and revolutionizing of the world of aeronautics. After WWII, Ed Link moved on to in undersea archaeology, exploring ancient ports, tracking Christopher Columbus, and competing with Jacques Cousteau to go deeper into the oceans than any man had gone before. Man-In-Sea is not a story about an inventor that built a flight simulator, it's about a hero that changed the world. All proceeds will be used to create a scholarship in my brother's name. Man-In-Sea will be available online, but you'll be able to find it cheaper in Binghamton. I appreciate all of your patience and sympathy through this difficult time. Thanks for reading.
