The death penalty in the Far East has a notorious past, with some extremely inhumane execution methods having been practiced. In the 19th century "death by elephant" – in which elephants were used to crush, maim or otherwise torture prisoners – was one method of public execution that was still being practiced

Mark Rothko.
chzane: This is what a dying artist creates, as his painting’s color got darker and darker his suicide came closer and closer. On February 25, 1970, Oliver Steindecker, Rothko’s assistant, found the artist in his kitchen, lying dead on the floor in front of the sink, covered in blood. He had sliced his arms with a razor found lying at his side. During autopsy it was discovered he had also overdosed on anti-depressants.

Three Bad Boys and a mic presents: Three Bad Boys aint enough for Koraly.
Blurb by Steve Smart, host of Three Bad Boys and a mic:
For the third of our ‘Three Bad Boys and a Microphone’ events at the salubrious Bar Nancy we’re going all out to tickle your bits and pop your fuckin’ bubbles.
The night will feature the launch of ‘Love and Fuck Poems’, a chapbook by Koraly Dimitriadis. Now wait, you’re saying to the gnome you were just evilly molesting, wait just one damn minute! Koraly is a girl. That’s cheating. You dirty fuckers! And it’s true, we are dirty …fuckers. But there’s more…
After Bad Boys #1, Koraly challenged young Ben John Smith to a bad-off. So after her launch she’s going to try to prove to you, her adoring if slightly malodorous public, that she is badder than Ben Smith. That’s right, Koraly and Ben are going *Head To Head* – poetry style.
And if that isn’t enough to toot your flute, there’s also the musical stylings of the infamous Monsieur Panman and a poetry set by the Steve Smart – also known to his “friends” as Blame Smarty.

“In the Tarot deck, the Fool is depicted as a young man about to step off a cliff into empty air. Most people assume that the Fool will fall. But we don’t see it happen, and a Fool doesn’t know that he’s subject to the laws of gravity. Against all odds, he just might float.”
Butcher Bird, Richard Kadrey.
This 56-year old, Mexican Chilean man, Miljenko Parserisas Bukovic, loved "Erin Brockovich" so much that he just couldn't resist spending over £51,000 $2,000 to put 82 tattoos of its star all over his body. Because that's not disgusting or weird. Speaking of disgusting, look at the quality of these things. They look like fuckin' shit. His tattoo artist is both an amateur and a crook. I will give this idiot one praise: he has just taken whacking off in the mirror to a whole new level. More photos of this asshole are below.
UPDATE: So I am man enough to admit when I'm wrong, and today I was wrong about this man. So fuck me for trusting normally credible news sources. As it turns out they lost something in translation or mixed up their Valparaísos but this guy is from Chile, not Mexico, and he didn't get ripped off with his tattoos -- he only spent a little over
$2,000 (U.S. dollars) on them. Which would explain why they are so awful.
My horrible typos and silly word slinging has been painstakingly edited by my good friend and fellow writer for HST, Ian Shearer; with special thanks to Mike Daily for being such a dude. This is not the collection of artists featured in HST over the past few months, this is a book i started long before the HST was even thought about.
108 pages; 6" x 9", jacket-hardcover binding, cream interior paper (50# weight), black and white interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink. Jacket Wrap and gold embossing on cloth spine.
While i have tried to keep the price as absolutely low as possible (I'm making about 1 dollar from each book) i know it's still scrapped in a little steep but with out pissing in my pocket - it really is worth the money spent, not only for my poetry but for the entire feel and complete package only a hard cover like this can embody.Obviously for adults only, i am very pleased to send this sucker out into the world and hope for a wide reception of feedback in any form, from any one! Please DO NOT buy this book if you are easily offended, have any shred of respect for me at all, don't want to hear stories about my penis, fear you may be exposed in one of these poems, are a family member of mine of D'Arnes,if you drink soy latte's or enjoy poetry about flowers and rivers. Any one else, please check it out with a grain of salt and a giggle and i thank you in advance for your support and on going communication.
Lets all get pissed and say silly things!
