Mike Brown: Pirates
Alright, so it’s been a while since I wrote a SLUG article that I didn’t put in a fair amount of effort into. The last time I did that was when I wrote that story about turtles and how cool I think they are. And most people seemed to actually like that article anyway. But
How to Run Away From Home
I’ve been writing a lot of articles for grown-ups lately like the controversial John Amichi interview to the history of drinking in Utah. It’s time I do my part and write something for the kids … like a how-to article on how to run away from home. I figure that if some kid needs to
A Short History of Drinking in Utah
Every profession has their masters. These people are good at what they do; they’re well respected within their professions by their peers. And sometimes these people leave behind a legacy. “Karen” is one such person in the profession of getting people wasted, more commonly known as bartending. I’ve been learning the trade myself and I
Mike Brown’s Gay John Amichi Interview

The Mexican Body Bag
Since the Jazz are going to make the playoffs this month, I thought it would be a great idea to write about one of my favorite things in the world, the Utah Jazz. And since this is SLUG and it’s probably not ‘cool’ to like sports, I’ll keep the stats to a minimal so you
The Dark Side of Martial Arts
He got a running start and I’ll never forget what happened next: running full speed, he tripped over Emily Bradley, who was the first person kneeling down, and tumbled over all the other kids. … read more
I Like Turtles
I caught around 10 or so turtles and convinced my parents to let me take them home with us. I rode in the back of our big Mormon van with them, making sure that all the turtles got along and weren’t too bored on the drive home. … read more
The Drugs Made Me Do It
Man, I love writing and hearing stories about drug abuse. Especially LSD. Acid is such a silly drug to me. It’s like a kidney stone – so tiny, yet it can fuck you up so bad. … read more
Whacktastic Skateboard Antics and The Morning News
I really fucking hate the news. I also hate people who believe the news. I guess I’m a big believer in “no news is good news.” So when I got asked to show some newslady how to ride a skateboard, I was at first hesitant. But then when they told me it would be a
