On March 9th, Swellco & Swellco publicly announced the presence of the Video Circus by reaching out into the community and showing that even cold corporate funded mind control projects can have a heart and make a difference in the community they prey upon.

The Anti-Bestiality Community Educational Outreach Charity Mixer and Heavy Metal Dance party as a whole was a raging success. The bar swelled past capacity with a line stretching down the street.

Dj Metal GR/EG did an outstanding job spinning great metal. As an additional bonus, for some inexplicable reason he also choose to flex his Galleger look alike talents arriving complete with giant hammer. (The Bob & Barbara’s staff took his melon at the door)

A bunny suit adorned Uncle Wheat Toast and Bunny Fox Brown engaged the crowd with anti-bestiality fact sheets and horror stories of bestiality culled from today’s headlines.

The Performances were outstanding. After a heart felt introduction to the evening by Louise L’tease, Miss Key and Uncle Wheat Toast, the madness began.

Needles Jones told a touching story about how he found his first boy crush engaged in intercourse with a goat and then jumped into a three song set including the crowd chanting favorite “Pig Fucker” and his new song “Bestiality, don’t do it” written specifically for the event.

Miss Key came out in a (faux) fur dress and took it all off, only after partially consuming a cow heart.

Mr. Dead guy brought out Baby Cheesewitts, the corpse baby who also dressed in a bunny suit and they talked to the crowd about where the line should be drawn with pet affections before breaking into song.

Next Miss Rose literally burst onto the stage as a feather adorned voodoo princess and gnawed on chicken.

Louise L’Tease literally shocked the crowd into silence when she did what might be the first ever fury strip tease as she slowly disrobed out of a full bunny suit only to reveal a bikini made of stuffed animals.

Last but not least the extra filthy, extra drunk Dirty Diamond came on stage somewhat unclear on the concept. He trumpeted the joys and importance of gratifying farm animals as an alternative to sex with fat women and then burst into the songs, “I Can’t Fight This Fat Bitch Anymore” and “Girl, get that abortion soon”

Unfortunately, the evening did not go without some serious issues.

Immediately following his set, Needles Jones was thrown out of Bob & Barbara’s for briefly passing out in restroom and then attempting to smoke pot at the bar.

Public Relations Director the Machine was slated with the responsibility of providing internal security for an event that had the potential to get out of hand. To insure order was maintained he opted to bring an additional bouncer. Unfortunately they both got shit hammered drunk and provoked a fight with an unsuspecting group of audience members. Being that THEY were the security, nothing was done at the time to quell the altercation. Clearly we have some glitches to fix to ensure our staff does not menace the audience they are meant to protect and entertain.

But this near brawl was not the only act of violence that marred the Swellco & Swellco event. Unfortunately the stand belonging to the lovable Baby Cheeswitts was broken. Clearly this malicious act of vandalism was a direct result of puppet prejudice. Baby Cheeswitts has been severally traumatized and has gone into hiding, his where abouts only known by Mr. Deadguy and his therapist.

Special Thanks to Louise L’tease, Bob Dix and R. E. Brown for conceiving and (dis)organizing such a genuinely bad idea.

We believe that work is play. It’s alright to have a bit of fun especially when you are doing it for a good cause and with the best and the brightest. Tonight the red rope is going up at Bob & Barbara’s as our stars sing, dance, get naked and educate about the physical and moral pearls of human-animal love making.  Not only do we have an amazing lineup of performers, but several staff members will be attending including Public Relations Director the Machine and site contributors R. E. Brown, Acid Squid, Uncle Wheat Toast and our newest writer Beth Beverly.

I got my pathetic little frozen squirrel out of my bag and put it in the freezer just as the other student arrived with two enormous deer heads, a doe and a 7 point buck.  To say I felt inferior would be a slight understatement.

We started the day off skinning deer heads; the two which belonged to the other student.  We put the capes in the back room, salted them, and left them in a pile with the other skins to be sent to the tannery.

We then began working on our own pheasants.  Mr. B gasses the pheasants so the skin and feathers remain flawless, but it renders the meat inedible.  I’m dealing with the guilt of knowing this animal died just so I could make art out of it, and nothing more.  My morals are somewhat compromised but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for this education.  As I scrape meat off the bird skull with my fingernails, the smell of dead permeates my nose and I force myself to like it.  I’ve never been too intimate with my meat, and in the past I’ve only used scalpels to cut specimen-never my bare hands.  I try to drink coffee while I work in a bizarre attempt to condition my stomach.  We learned today that when a skin isn’t fleshed out and salted quickly enough the rot takes over and it really starts to stink.  These capes are called “spooks” and will taint the other skins.

Mr. B calls me “girl” when he comes by to check on my progress, always with a smile.  I think he has a soft spot for young women, particularly those who are easy on the eyes, so I embrace it.  I’ll even be so bold as to say I might remind him just a bit of his granddaughter, whom is the apple of his eye.  He’s also generous with the positive feedback which, in a scholastic setting, I am not accustomed to.

I rigged up my hoop in the barn when I got home, so I can practice aerials during the week.  Plus, I’m nowhere near a gym and the terrain isn’t ideal for running outdoors, so this will basically be my sole source of excercise.  Unfortunately by the time I figured out what beam to use as a rigging point, and how to get up there, then actually hung it, it was too dark to use.  I went inside and did some yoga in front of a fire insteadwhile I watched “Donkey Skin” on DVD.  It’s the only movie I brought up with me, and it has inspired me to only speak seulement en francais while I’m alone in the cabin with the cats.

Psilocybin
Fast Facts Questions and Answers Courtesy of

National Drug Intelligence Center
a component of the
U.S. Department of Justice.

What is psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States. These mushrooms typically contain 0. 2 to 0.4 percent psilocybin and a trace amount of psilocyn, another hallucinogenic substance. Both psilocybin and psilocyn can be produced synthetically, but law enforcement reporting currently does not indicate that this is occurring.

What does psilocybin look like?
Mushrooms containing psilocybin are available fresh or dried and have long, slender stems topped by caps with dark gills on the underside. Fresh mushrooms have white or whitish- gray stems; the caps are dark brown around the edges and light brown or white in the center. Dried mushrooms are generally rusty brown with isolated areas of off-white.

How is psilocybin abused?
Psilocybin mushrooms are ingested orally. They may be brewed as a tea or added to other foods to mask their bitter flavor. Some users coat the mushrooms with chocolate–this both masks the flavor and disguises the mushrooms as candy. Once the mushrooms are ingested, the body breaks down the psilocybin to produce psilocyn.

Who abuses psilocybin?
Psilocybin mushrooms are popular at raves, clubs and, increasingly, on college campuses and generally are abused by teenagers and young adults. It is difficult to gauge the extent of psilocybin use in the United States because most data sources that quantify drug use exclude psilocybin. The Monitoring the Future Survey, conducted by the University of Michigan, does reveal that 9.2 percent of high school seniors in the United States used hallucinogens other than LSD–a category that includes psilocybin–at least once in their lifetime. Two percent of high school seniors used hallucinogens other than LSD in the past month.

What are the risks?
Use of psilocybin is associated with negative physical and psychological consequences. The physical effects, which appear within 20 minutes of ingestion and last approximately 6 hours, include nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, drowsiness, and lack of coordination. While there is no evidence that users may become physically dependent on psilocybin, tolerance for the drug does develop when it is ingested continuously over a short period of time.

The psychological consequences of psilocybin use include hallucinations and an inability to discern fantasy from reality. Panic reactions and psychosis also may occur, particularly if a user ingests a large dose.

In addition to the risks associated with ingestion of psilocybin, individuals who seek to abuse psilocybin mushrooms also risk poisoning if one of the many varieties of poisonous mushrooms is incorrectly identified as a psilocybin mushroom.

What is psilocybin called?
The most common names for Psilocybin are magic mushroom, mushroom, and shrooms. (Please see the Street Terms text box for additional names.)
Boomers
Flower flipping (MDMA used with psilocybin)
God’s flesh
Hippieflip (MDMA used with psilocybin)
Hombrecitos
Las mujercitas
Little smoke
Mexican mushrooms

Is psilocybin illegal?
Yes, psilocybin is illegal. Psilocybin is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Schedule I drugs, which include heroin and LSD, have a high potential for abuse and serve no legitimate medical purpose in the United States.

(Vere Dic Tibi Ipsi)

One of my long time mantras, or slogans has been Beauty in Vulgarity, Passion in Madness. Now this may sound like an juvenile slogan, and perhaps when I started toying with the phrase, it probably was. But then, around that time I was writing artist statements about punching viewers in the face. I have a always tried, (albeit some would question how successfully) to balance between two worlds. To gain the life experience of those totally outside of society, and those who embrace it. A painter needs to know how to render realistically before he can credibly create abstract, a printer needs to craft fine lined etchings before he can move to free flowing monotypes. My Palahniuk/Bukowski instincts to stay outside of the “squares” world have always been tempered with an education of the etiquette I chose to ignore. I know where the salad fork goes. So when I go to the dinner party and eat with my hands, it’s not ignorance, it’s choice. I’ve always made the statement that I can blend in at either a biker rally or a black tie affair and you would never be able to pick me out.

Over the last year or so, I’ve been making a conscious effort to cut out all vulgar “verbal crutches” effectively eradicating all standard four letter words in an attempt to improve my speaking skills and mastery over the English language. But recently I got around to watching Deadwood. After 10 straight hours with my jaw open and brain stuffed with ear candy, I realized I had started going down the wrong path. I realized (perhaps remembered) that vulgarity isn’t a crutch in language, it’s an emphasis, an exclamation. It serves it’s purpose. The use of vulgarity helps define the line between classes and status. Vulgarity separates those outside of society. (or defines separate ones) It helps the upper crust look down, and helps the dregs give the finger back up. I realized I forgot about my love affair with shit fuck.

I have an excellent knowledge of art, history and politics. I am educated and well read. I have a solid knowledge of food and wine. And it is absolutely against my nature and belief system to avoid peppering vulgarity throughout conversations in these or any other contexts. There IS Beauty in Vulgarity. When you constrain yourself with the strangle tie of propriety and etiquette, you squeeze out all the joy in life’s experiences. Temper your ego, then let the Id shine through.

About .05% of the American public is familiar with Heino. About 99.% of the German population is familiar with their home grown superstar who mixes traditional German folk music with Europe pop esthetics. He’s been doing it for 40 years and his fan base is spanning generations.

I was turned on to Heino by a guy I was dating. His kink was that he liked me to wear a strap on and fuck him in the ass while he blared Heino. Now in an earlier entry I wrote about Genki-Genki, the Japanese bug and live sea food porn. A subject matter that is so inherently vile and insane, and yet strangely beautiful, that you can’t even wrap your mind around what your eyes are recording.  But here’s the thing, when I watch a Heino video, especially from his 70’s-80’s heyday, I feel almost the same way that I do about seeing a japanese school girl shit out a live eel. It’s not the music or associating him with my ex’s kink. (I mean who hasn’t jammed a lawyer in the ass with a dildo while German folk music is blasting?) It’s something about Heino himself that I can’t look away from, and scares me to death at the same time. Heino is just another reason why we should be glad the Nazi’s lost.

So, this guy I know (we’ll call him Drucker) claims that he zips off to the “Land of Ladies” on a regular basis for a little R&R.  Now, I’ve never been there, but I’m gonna take a good guess that this may be one of the fine drinking establishments located there.  As you can see, this gentleman has found himself one of the fine species of ladies which had only been bred during a certain era.  This also leads me to believe that to get to the “Land of Ladies” may require some sort of time travel which must include a fine 12 year Scotch or warm snifter of Cognac.   Sound a bit like Alice in Wonderland, but for gentlemen.  Or, possible an episode of Cheers while on some primo window paine acid.  Now lets get lost in the Land of Ladies where the liquor is cheap and the women are always cheaper.

both barrels and no lube, that's Machine's philosophy.

The Machine was born in March 1936, and grew up in a dungeon near Detroit, where his father worked as a horseradish vendor at Ford Motor Company’s bio medical division. He graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and meat carving. While in college, the Machine managed a prostitution ring, worked on the Harvard Crimson newspaper and still managed to find time to rough up people in homeless shelters. After college, the Machine was indited, tried and acquitted of trafficing in endangered rhino horn and zebra meat. Before taking on Swellco & Swellco’s public relations department, he worked for two years at Procter & Gamble Co. as an assistant product manager and briefly smuggled hash out of Eastern Europe. On his days off the Machine enjoys rough sex, rhino poaching and collecting rare coins.
