Jason Callahan had been an athletic star in the NCAA, and it had showed in his physique. As a member of the Yale swimming team, he had led the Bulldogs to a national title. He had broken Ivy League records. He had broken NCAA records. He had broken Olympic records. And, for a period of four days last year, he'd resided in the Bullpen. It was an honest en...
I look pretty good in a wedding dress. Not that I'm ever getting married, I mean, marriage is for ugly, and/or boring people, like my older sister. It's the only way they can have sex on a regular basis. But this is a costume for my next professional shoot. Since my video with Ron came out, I've been very busy. I got promoted to the Happy Hour shift at the c...

A friend of mine, who became stinking rich simply by renovating lawnmowers and calling them Classics Cutters, is a case in point. It transpired that his idea of absolute bliss was to watch the rugby on the telly...
Sabeen stretched out as much as she could on the office chair. She was slouched way down with her feet up on the desk. Her back was to the globe that Marcus had casually left on a pile of invoice books. Supposedly she was 'guarding' the damn thing while Bucky was away 'shopping.' The second she had walked into the office she had realised that they were hopi...
About a week later when I arrived home I found a phone message on the machine. It was Bob. How he got my number I have no idea, but I called him back at the number he left. It was his office phone at the school district we both work for. "Hello Bob," I said. "I guess I really know how you got my number." "I looked you up in your personnel file over at Cent...
