seduce food sex kansas city

Lundyland 7-30-10 #kansascity #kc #competitiveeating So, this week’s post should most accurately be started with, “Dear Penthouse, I never thought it would happen to me!”  Saturday, I began and ended my storied career in competitive eating.  Up Dog in Independence had its grand opening, featuring a hot dog eating contest!   How can I NOT participate in such walking-distance-from-my-apartment frivolities?   Honestly, I probably would’ve just spectated in this case, but my mom had a big mouth and blabbed to my ten year old nephew that I was gonna do it. So, since his shitty grandma wouldn’t enter him in the contest, I had to step forth and avoid being called a pussy at Thanksgiving by somebody who doesn’t even have pubes yet. I started out strong, downing almost 3 of the bastards in the first minute.  Thinking, “This is what it feels like to be a God?!”  Then, quickly fell to earth due to my blasphemy, only managing to kill four more dogs in the final nine minutes, giving me a grand total of seven.  The winner managed to knock out twenty!  And, I couldn’t have eaten another one with a gun to my head.  In fact, the last one tasted similar to what I’d imagine to be a hobo’s asshole.  But, let’s put this in perspective – Joey Chestnut’s record stands at SIXTY-EIGHT!   That’s right, he ate almost as many dogs a minute as I did the entire contest!   Salute a true American! Also, in related news, Saturday, I had my first bout with bulimia. Required Readin’ – Parker: The Hunted Graphic Novel from IDW.  Written by Richard Stark, illustrated by the brilliant Darwyn Cooke.   Required Watchin’ –  Yo momma (Sorry, had nothing this week)   (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)

Lundyland 7-23-10 #kansascity #kc So’s, this week I mainly holed up making drawrings and cursing my absence from Comic Con, but Saturday, I did hit an old haunt – The Broadway Café – for a mean cuppa joe and a table to thumbnail some comics pages.  (New one up at smalltimerscomic.com) And, a weekday trip up the street from my house to Da Pizza Place, which was shit tons better than expected from a Truman Road dive. So’s like the guy at the end of the Lone Ranger says, “Tune in next time!” Required Readin’ – John Rector’s excellent snow-job noir The Cold Kiss Required Watchin’ –  Breaking Bad Season 2 Electric Boogaloo (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)

Lundyland 7-16-10 #kansascity #kc @GrindersKC So’s like, this week’s adventures started with a trip to the Ameristar Casino, where I won big! By not gambling at all and watching Predators, the baddest ass B movie I’ve seen since Jurassic Park 3.  Saturday was a trip to the Crossroads to Grinder’s where I got the only thing baddest ass’er than the aforementioned Predators in the form of their monster meatball grinder. Then a stopoff for KC’s own ‘lil Jurassic Park at Union Station’s Dino exhibit. Other than that, just a big buncha drawring at the ranch. Checkout http://workplaceofthedamned.com/smalltimers/?p=191 for the cover of the new comic I’ll be posting every Thursday. Woo hoo! Required Readin’ – Dennis Tafoya’s The Dope Thief Required Watchin’ –  Jackie Brown (Gotta say it’s better than I remembered it…) (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)

Lundyland 7-9-10 #kansascity #kc @bestburgerkc @tivolikc This week coincidentally ended up with a lotta walking around Westport on separate days. Westport Flea Market makes some badass burgers, and fantastic fried cheese.  Plus they got a DOPE ride out front. Sung Son Vietnamese Bistro had some fantastic pho and a pretty slick buffet. (Normally, I’m not so big on the grab and eat troughs, but the bowl o’ noodles changed my opinion.) Saw Winter’s Bone at the always awesome Tivoli Theatre. And, via satellite witnessed Joey Chestnut’s uncontested win at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Extravaganza. Required Readin’ – Thuglit’s Sex,Thugs and Rock & Roll anthology packs a punch. Required Watchin’ – Every Which Way But Loose.  It’s Clint Eastwood and an ape with a heap of biker beating and bare knuckled boxing! (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)

Summer Projects

So, like, due to my schedule being a bit hectic these days, I’ve decided to move the My World strip to monthly for the duration of the summer. This’ll let a guy get smalltimerscomic.com going weekly as of July 15th, and get a good head start on a related short story collection I’ve been dorking with for quite some time.

So, go to http://smalltimerscomic.com and read stuff, check out sketches, and watch for news!

Lundyland 7-2-10 #missouri So’s like, this week, was a trip to the pop’s house in the woods of Salem, Mo for Messican food at Big-o’s. (No idea what that’s supposed to mean, but the shrimp burrito was solid enough considering how far we were from a coast.)  Stopping at by ‘lil bro’z house to see the baby.  And, my aunt cooking biscuits and gravy at the gram’s house.    Required Readin’ – Mo’ MO stuff with Missouri author Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone. (And, eventually the 2 short stories I finished, and comic I outlined. I been working on the keyboard… all the livelong day…) Don’t pet a burning dog. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)

Lundyland 6-25-10 #kansascity #kc @indysquare So’s like, this week, was father’s day. So’s, I went with the nephew, niece, moms and stepdad to Corner Café in Independence where I chowed on an awesome omelet and super cinnamon roll.  Also, I was ecstatic to discover the level of my peers when my ten year old nephew made sure to elbow me in the arm to show off the fact that he was dropping paper in his little sister’s hair.  Thursday, I stopped by the Pharoah theatre as they were setting up for freebie summer moofies.  Jason’s Deli in the O.P. made a rockin’ reuben on rye.  Required Readin’ - Scott Phillips’ The Ice Harvest and Vertigo’s Jonah Hex: Only the Good Die Young. Required Watchin’ – Joe Carnahan’s new A-Team beat some ass. I pity fools ain’t watching this movie! Stay sleazy! (CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR A LARGER VIEW)
