Failed Column Ideas from the Slush Pile
Every so often, I like to write a column of failed column ideas. Usually, they're a hit, which proves that even when I think I'm writing something shitty, people still think I'm funny.
KC was born in Oregon, raised in the Dakotas, educated in Colorado, groomed in NYC, and now teaches in Seoul, South Korea. He misses sleeping until noon, drinking nightly, and getting shot down by college girls. He still gets shot down by college girls. Casey "KC" Freeman finished college a few years ago and he's still trying to incorporate the things he learned into his everyday life. So far, at the end of the workday not a single coworker can pack their bookbag faster than KC. At the beginning of his career at PIC he was gainfully employed as an editor at one of the worst magazines in existence, but has also worked as a bartender, day laborer, telemarketer, public relations rep, swim coach, bouncer, KFC cook, pizza delivery boy, lifeguard and trucker. Now he's an English teacher in South Korea. Life, work and the oddities in between inspire him to create things that enhance souls. Even though he's the greatest, he wants you to know that You're the Best.

KC and his Organs chill by themselves in his Seoul apartment, the Bomb Shelter, on a Friday night. Deprived of a weekend night out, Junk gets all kinds of ideas.
Without warning, a needle sticks in the front of my calf. And thus began my swift introduction to acunpuncture, in which a Korean doc assaulted my back, politely.

For some reason people like to compare themselves and me to movie stars or celebrities. Here are a few I've been compared to by my fellow humans recently.
