ACTION BADGER
BY STEPHEN AUSHERMAN

Action badger, a thousand bee stings in your honey-caked muzzle, villainous ears throbbing with pain, nose still wiggling, sniffling, twitching in addiction, be still a moment, rest your black daggers, and step away from your reputation, your relentless energy.

Badger, badger, so full of action, your name is a verb, like hawk and rat, dog and weasel.

Action badger, no hero of mine, for all your action is your namesake.

You cannot write a play, for your scripts are hearsay. You cannot translate Japanese without destroying its subtlety. Nor are you a mystic, like the owl outside my window who makes all too human sounds. Nor are you angelic, like the ghostly toads in the hall with their suggestive whispers.

Action badger, the one thing you can do is bad. The one thing you do well is badger. You are a greedy conquistador, your quest for gold veiled as a holy inquisition. But we know your motives, action badger. Seen them a thousand times before. So crawl back into your badger hole, choke down the remains of your badger babies, and drown yourself in the murky blue hatred that is your badger soul.

LET THE e-ELVES BE e-AWARE THAT

we've renovated the drop-down menus, with the one on the left side over there
including some of the most-liked stuff we've posted thus far, and the one
on the right side including other stuff - everything we've ever posted,
besides the stuff that's no longer available, is now accessible in/on
the chronological archive, which has been updated as a special
xmas gift for all with as much of the stuff pre-initiation of archive
that we could find - so scroll down and see how it all started,
more or less, since a lot of the early stuff has been taken down
for various reasons - anyway. happy holidays and all
we will not be taking a traditional seasonal
break in posting this year - we'll be
offering fresh e-literature for
a few more weeks, and
then we'll be taking
a wee e-siesta for a
few weeks -
yup!
