Those of us at the ‘Nacle would like to wish all of you a Good December, whether you’re barking at the moon, dancing naked around a bonfire or just listening to your parents go senile, we hope it’s the best one of these yet! Remember to be thankful for all the things you have to be thankful for and if you’re having trouble doing that, eat more food and drink more alcohol. Then reflect. And repeat.

Have You Had the Mozzarella Next Door Yet? by Ricky Goldstein

It’s like a lactating tit. Those guys’ve been makin’ cheese for a hundred years. You smell that smoky smell? They’re smoking the cheese. I like it with a little sliced capicolla or sopressata; nothing too heavy.

Speaking of which, did I tell you what I like to make for breakfast when I don’t want to go too heavy? Fritters and hush puppies. Nothing too big. Speaking of which, I was just telling the guy in shipping and receiving about my mistletoe belt buckle. I used to have one of them, but this girl stole it as a trophy back in my cocaine days. You know how that is – they take a shirt, boxers… this broad took my mistletoe belt buckle, the bitch.

That reminds me of a story. I was having this affair with this woman with the biggest tits you have ever seen. My god they were like THIS, like out to here, like boyeeoyeeyoing. And I would leave her sweet little love notes in her lunch. You’re married, you know how it is, you try to do nice things like make lunch, breakfast. So, months later, her husband visits her at work and her co-worker sez, “I love those little notes you leave her in her lunch” and he’s like, “What notes??!?”

You know how it is, you’re married.

But like I was saying about the mozzarella and sausage, what you do is get a few olives from down the block, I’ll show you how to make an amazing sauce, you can boil a pound or two of fettuccine, get yourself a loaf of semolina, maybe a prosciutto stuffed artichoke, a few cutlets of veal and some pork medallions which you can cacciatore and you’re set. Nothing too big.

Zoetica Ebb is an Internet Superstar, and it has been a wild pleasure getting to know her. Model, writer, photographer, she’s a triple threat.

No, really, she’s threatened me before. Very intimidating, this one.

It was a no-brainer when I first started thinking about interviews to do one with Zoetica, the lady’s the real deal.

Interview: Jim Lucio (Defekto)

Jim Lucio was one of my first Polaroid heroes, and getting to meet him a few years ago really showed me how awesome the internet can be. We’ve been friends ever since, but will one day become the bitterest of enemies, fighting over the last packs of Polaroid film in the world.

But until that day, interview!!!
