week 9: elg

it turns out that my “downstairs” rash is actually just a run-of-the-mill case of poison ivy and not something exotic like tex-mex gonorrhea or bovine herpes the way that i first feared. either way, i promised my doctor that i would do my best to exercise self-control the next time my nudist group hosts a retreat in the woods.

anyway, my invented girlfriend, candra callon, just arrived and is going to give me a calamine sponge bath—so here are some interesting words with elg inside of them for your amusement.
