tie a napkin round your neck, cherie

Remember when Bad Samaritan used to be fun? A laugh a minute riot of highbrow filth and inane pop-cultural references? I remember those days. I miss those days. I really do.

So, when Bad Samaritan re-launches sometime in the next couple weeks (to coincide no later than our second anniversary on October 3rd) the site will also be reborn with a new raison d'etre. I’ve been feeling for a while that things have sort of been floating by purposelessly around here. That it’s been more about just writing something rather than writing something that is entertaining. I think it’s obvious from the dearth of comments that most of you feel the same way.

I’m not exactly sure what the new purpose is going to be, but the two things that spring to mind are that I’m going to be having entirely more fun, and be entirely less reverent. If I have to go out and get drunk every night, have sex with strangers, and wake up in unfamiliar places missing internal organs, to make this place interesting again, then I will do it for you. I am just that kind of guy.

I’ll probably just go back to talking about monkeys and robots a lot more, encouraging teenagers to film their girlfriends having sex, and pissing off entire Christian colleges. Whatever ends up happening, it’ll be a good thing, something truly worthy of the trusted Bad Samaritan brand name. So, stick around.
