Return to Castle Red Herring


Last one I did didnt quite make the mark I wanted so Im trying again.

Other news Im going to release several Carbon Editions of My Books this Year
Basicly will be shittily edited in mash of USA UK Australian english, with clip art and my doodles and lotsa sandboxing tables for under $10 bux and through possibly Paetron.

The plan will be to eventually replace with Cockwallet gold editions which will be kickstarted with USA or UK engrish and professionally Illustrated coffee table editions for people with more money than me.

Actually I need my own stuff compiled.

Happy mothers day. Not Sure if I  need Ouija board or necronomicon to call mom.

I will still crank out my free stuff like jack Kerouac toilet paper poems. Spending my recent working spree stuff on New PC, scanner, printer and getting my certifications for working in my home base state. Hope to get better at my nomadism for work and applying for a grant to work next to the Parthenon for a month.

This was a byproduct of a previous aborted project that half went into petty hauntings for dungeons and rest went here. Most of these are dirty tricks to confuse or distract or drive away humans.
