Sundays with Dr. Pauly - Week 4 Update and the November Truckin'

By Pauly
Hollyweird, CA

Let's start off with pimping the latest issue of my literary blogzine. The November installment of Truckin' contains about 60% Key West themed short stories, including submissions from AlCantHang and Change100. Veteran Truckin' authors Sean A. Donahue and Sigge S. Amdal are also back.

Truckin' - November 2007, Vol. 6, Issue 11

1. Existentialist Conversations with Strippers: The Afternoon Shift by Paul McGuire
The club was just the type of seedy place where you might find William Kennedy Smith or any other soused heirs to the Kennedy name, knocking back cheap scotch at 3 pm while aggressively fondling the sketchy girls with visible c-section scars and multiple fresh bruises all over their cracked-out bodies.... More

2. Lonesome Cowboy Bill by AlCantHang
My comfort zone is a dive rock club where I can chain smoke, power drink, and have my head assaulted with decibels equivalent to a jumbo jet taking off. The next step down the ladder would be the pubs and bars the exist for sole purpose of its patrons getting blitzed on various hardcore drinks. Then comes the sports bars, strip clubs, snooty yuppie bars, and hotel watering holes. Near the very bottom would generally be any place that plays country music... More

3. Seven Minutes with Olga by Change100
Olga led me all the way to the back and sat me down. She took her top off and grabbed my hands, placing them on her very soft, very real breasts... More

4. The Sleep Deprived Memoirs of I by Sigge S. Amdal
I might as well go to sleep, I thought. And I thought about sleeping forever, the eternal sleep, and how it could feel – was it cold or was it cozy – had it not been for facts contesting life after death in terms of subjectively sensory experience... More

5. Their Father's Love by Sean A. Donahue
Tying to explain the differences and the complaints of a failed marriage is too complicated for a four-year old to understand. I think I heard the phrase, "But why daddy?" more than I ever thought I could. But it wasn't my kids' fault... More

If you like these stories, then please tell your friends about your favorites. It takes a few seconds to pass along Truckin'. The writers certainly appreciate your support. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail if you know anyone who is interested in being added to the mailing list.

Thanks again to everyone for wasting your precious time month after month with Truckin' and for your continuous support. Until next time.

Sundays with Dr. Pauly - Week 4 Update

Thanks again for everyone who participated in Sundays with Dr. Pauly over at Fantasy Sports Live. Congrats to Bobby Bracelet. He's the first player to qualify for the season ending freeroll. He beat my score in three consecutive weeks!

The following players have beaten me in the previous two weeks and need to beat me this weekend to qualify for the freeroll: RTrizzle, ebk03001, Chewbot, bonds, and Mattazuma.

I have been off my game. After a hot start, I slipped a bit the last two weeks because I have been in Australia for work and vacation. The last weekend was tough because I didn't have internet access for a couple of days and threw together a team at the last moment. I'm back in America now so I have no more excuses.

Congrats to Chewbot who took down Week 4. RTrizzle is leading the entire series with a score of 599.5.

Feel free to join us this week for Sundays with Dr. Pauly over at Fantasy Sports Live. Thanks and good luck out there this weekend!
