Garbage Pail – Things That Disturb Me – Column

January 1, 1999

My growing suspicion that the letters in Penthouse Forum are real, but the ones I’ve been getting from my mother aren’t.

Coroner’s Corner – A Time to Kill? – Column

January 1, 1999

The plan was to provoke Alex to attack them so that they could kill him justifiably in defense. The premise is stupid as hell… but I love it.
