Funny Day

I wake up with a black widow spider crawling the length of my arm. The eyes are dark sacks of goo perched on its body. A poisonous black bulb. I hear my neighbor yell “These fucking spiders are everywhere!”

I want to reach over for the spider and flick it off my arm but I’m thinking it will just attach itself to my finger and bite my knuckles. But I’m no scientist.

My alarm clock begins to buzz and it is far out of my reach. The sun is slowly rising and you can hear the wood crack under the immense heat that is advancing against what was a cool night. I laugh to myself and think today will be a very funny day.

What 5th Grader Took A Sharpie To Your Chest? Want Me To Beat Them Up?

Thats Jak Cardini. He looks pretty baller out there in space doesnt he? I mean, he's not wearing a space helmet or anything. Just breathing in all that cold darkness. Tough.

But then, he has to take a shower. Or go swimming with his nephews. And this happens.
Dont get us wrong, to the left he's reppin GCPM harder than any of us, but what the hell is that reject spirograph looking thing? Is that supposed to be a Stargate? Who does he think he is, an X-Man?

We, The Gold County Paper Mill, are embarrassed to be seen on the interweb with this guy. So, we are encouraging you, our adoring fans, to get that thing the fuck off Jak's chest.

ANNOUNCING : The "Jak, Your Chest Is Little Enough, Dont Cover It In Stooopid Shit" Tattoo Re-Design Contest.

Listen Up Yawl! Here Be The Rules.

Designs need to be:

Simple.

No Color.

Relative to the existing size. This dood's chest is TINY.

Think Cheap. Like Jak did when he first got this stooopid fucking tattoo.

Email your dope ass hyper sketch to thepapermill@googlegroups.com

We will then pick a sketch and force Jak to use it to hide his shame.

*UPDATE : Contest Submissions Are Now Being Posted On Our Flickr : http://www.flickr.com/photos/21800805@N07/sets/72157623840120086/

Also, no GCPMers can enter. I know you guys want it the most, but thats just not fair!

But guess what else you get winners?!
