Food Rules for the 4th & Seize Freedom Like That Riptide Seized Carlis

Food Rules for the 4th & Seize Freedom Like That Riptide Seized Carlis

Food Rules for the 4th matter to me, but only if I make the rules and I’m eating the food. A lot of people make janky-ass-potato-salad and canned everything when they have the ability to make better food. It hurts my soul but go ahead and fuck up your potato salad.

• bratwurst > hotdog, and both can be flexib

I decided to submit the story to Vocal while giving the r

My Ex Was One of The First Buffoons to Break into The Capitol

I spent 9/11 with a man who was one of the first buffons to break into the Capitol. Back in 2001, Buffoon supported far left-wing politics and was developing a penchant for conspiracy theories that allowed him to rhapsodize about commanding “insider knowledge” on things like the JFK assassination. Mobsters. The moon landing.

I’ve often thought about what drove Buffoon to think and act the way he did. His childhood was less than stel

5 Things Only True Chattanoogans Will Understand

No matter where I travel, people recall one thing when I mention being from Chattanooga: The Chattanooga Choo-Choo. They may not speak much English, but they’ll manage to sing a few lines from the song before asking if I’ve ever heard it.

“Why, no, I haven’t heard it. Please…sing me more.”

Suffice to say, Chattanooga’s groove consists of more than a Glenn Miller homage. Let me give you the inside scoop on five “Gig City” highlights that locals love, starting with The Gig.

Sex and the Single Diabetic

In 1982, I got my first insulin pump to control Type I Diabetes. Since being diagnosed at five, I gave shots on my own, and never considered the injections painful. They just...were. But at the age of nine, modern technology changed my life with the insulin pump.

The insulin pump looked like a large, rectangular bomb attached to belt hoops via a black velcro case; a thin tube dangled from the device, ending in a needle in my stomach. Insulin was programmed to travel through the tube and into me...
