Ugly House Award



This is an Ugly House!
Doesn't quite chaff me but I bet it chaffs the person who owns it.
I mean WOW! Way to keep it as incongruent as possible. For this reason it deserves an award.

News Flash! Graffiti Artist on the loose!

Rumor has it that bartender and owner of the CROWBAR in Huntington, West Virginia (wherever the hell that is?) is on the lookout for an unknown graff kid, possibly a girl, who tagged his restroom last weekend. With flyer in hand, the owner has scouted out all the local hangouts, tattoo shops, etc. to find this delinquent. He described the work over the phone as a "boxy sort of skeleton head with a halo". If anyone knows who this is...please shake his/her hand and give 'em a hug from all of us here at Au Courant Et Chaffin!

Artist and Poet Boyfriend Get Together To Make a Strange Poem


Outside my window every morning, a bird chirps.
"What does the bird say?" you may ask. Well, it chirps, incessantly.
No substance, nothing of worth, only
to speak that it is awake.
Much like women shopping
in malls, desperately
searching for the one
thing that will at last show, to the world,
their worth.
Except the bird stops by noon, because it is
hungry, and then gets food,
very scared as it does.

THE END

Pre-Trend Watch


Hey You! Get rid of the lame, Trendy water bottles, keep your waste down, and be subtly unique all at the same time. Grab a glass water bottle (usually found in health food stores) and use a stopper instead of buying the throwaway plastic types. This Evian bottle came with a great lil plastic stopper. I have been using it all week and heart the 'ish out of it! Plus using glass eliminates the possibility of plastic bleeding in to the water. Who needs to spend $15.oo on a plastic water bottle with a whack design when you can pick up a glass one at the grocery store for 2 bucks and re-use it! and re-use it, and re-use it, and re-use it. Plus because of the low cost, no trauma occurs when it gets lost or broken. I don't know about you, but I am OVER plastic.

ARA Mail
















We all love gettin 'ish in the ol' mailbox. So who's up for a snail mail revolution? We all heart the handmade, so let us all hop on the hand-written/hand-mailed bandwagon. Hell, let's make a "handmade" wagon big enough for a band ourselves, give it a good push, run like the schoolyard days, and hop on our own darn selves. YEE-HAW
Here is a dope thing my homey sent my homesick ass through the mail. oooooohhh it's even handmade!
