Fan Fiction: My Dream Encounter
featuring The Pope
by pete nicely and stinky ninja
"Do you know how badly I've been wanting to see him? For weeks, Anna, for weeks! I can't believe that tickets could sell out this fast." I said. Hello, my name is Jen, and my one and only priority in life is to see Pope John Paul II. My one and ONLY dream. I've been in love with him since the days of... More

Fanny-Pack-A-Palooza! by jamie flam and chaz weinhart
The fannypack. Has there ever been a piece of portable luggage as equally efficient as it is handsome? If you've heard otherwise, you are surely consorting with sacrilegious fibsters mired in a world of blasphemy. Ignore them, for they are lost in the darkness of a cold, cold world. A world where an American traveler can't wander freely in a small Kenyan village with a bright neon pink fannypack without calling attention to himself. A world where a rollerblading dynamo can't blade on the gang infested paths of Venice Beach without riling the scorn of a pack of lounging Bloods and/or Crips... More

23 Terrible Songs About Mondays by jamie flam and devon lester murphy
Mondays can be the worst can't they? Lunchboxing equates the national Monday hating epidemic with the fact that Mondays are, for most people, the first day back at work after a weekend, and are thus the furthest point in the week from another break. Does that make any sense? In any case, we recently came across a compilation CD from a label called "Fuck My Life Records" with lots of songs about the oft-despised day of the week. After listening, we decided that as bad as Mondays are for us, they certainly could be worse. We hope you feel the same. Here is the track listing: More

11 Michael Jackson warning Signs by jason betrue and jamie flam
Corey Feldman is in the news this week after giving an interview with 20/20 about his childhood relationship with Michael Jackson. "I started looking at each piece of information, and with that came this sickening realization that there may have been many occurrences in my life and in my relationship to Michael that have created a question of doubt." He then listed the following as the "questionable" situations: More

Creative People by paws o'henry
The creative people are watching each other and you're watching them. You're the only real person in the audience, really, because they're all either in one of the bands that isn't performing right now or friends of the current band or singer or friends of one of the previous... you get the idea. When I say "you" I don't mean the general you, except some of the time. Generally what I mean when I say "you" is "me," but when something is too personal or leaves "me" too exposed I push it off on "you." So thanks for putting up with my shit. More

The Original Hardy Boys Covers
by jamie flam and jason betrue
While in a Norwegian thrift store last summer, Northern European LUBO Correspondent Asbjörn Jannicke came across an exciting discovery. While sifting through volumes of old Hardy Boys books, he noticed a trend in some of the earlier editions: the covers all displayed the mystery-solving twosome in provacative positions. Upon further investigation, Asbjörn realized that the content of the books mirrored that of the covers. After a myriad of interviews and further research he concluded that the original Hardy Boys Books were intended as all out gay sex romps, hidden under the guise of teen mysteries. It wasn't until they hit American bookstores in the 1950's that the boys dropped the humpin' and focused more on the detective work. Still, the original book covers are pricelessly entertaining.

LUBO Remembers Johnny by paws o'henry
Where would we be without Johnny Carson? Exactly where we are now, because he has died. Johnny Carson, whose sly jokes about Congress and other old-person topics made him wildly popular among the aged, has passed on. More

The Top 5 Moments in Presidential Inauguration History by jason betrue and jamie flam
In 1945, a mescaline-induced Thomas A. Dewey storms the Truman Inauguration Ball on horseback with four Sioux Indian cohorts, who are also "tripping balls" on peyote. In what would later be described by [1960's band The Doors front-man] Jim Morrison as "the bravest party fuck of all time," a caped Dewey attempted to fly off his stallion, shouting that he was "The Lizard Prince" before being taken out with tranquilizers by secret service agents.

The Lost Choose Your Own Adventures!
by jamie flam and jason betrue
Lunchboxing recently came across a batch of Choose Your Own Adventure books that were never released. After some research we found that they were deemed "controversial" and "not good" and therefore never left the Choose Your Own Adventure Shipping Plant. We had the good fortune of reading them and concur with our sources that the books are indeed "not good." Still, their titles are entertaining, and we thought it would be fun to share our findings with you. More

Killing My Lobster Kabaret, Makeout Room, San Francisco
by jamie flam
Last week Tim Molloy flew up from Los Angeles and we performed a sketch and showed some videos at The Killing My Lobster Kabaret at The Make Out Room in San Francisco. For those of you unfamiliar with Killing My Lobster (KML), they are (as far as I am concerned), the Bay Areas best sketch comedy group. I have only seen them a couple times, but their shows are super well produced and hilarious. They also make some great short videos, and have a dynamic and entertaining website. Anyways, they have this monthly variety cabaret where they showcase a bunch of up and coming comedians and musicians. More

Stop! Dreidel Time.
by Maury and "Top Dog"
Hello all my dreidel enthusiasts! It's been a while since we last corresponded, but boy oh boy has it been a wild one for your Uncle Maury! The last year has been a rollercoaster ride and a half with loops and scoops and drops and bloops coming at every turn. And just when I think the ride is over, out comes another scoop to scoop me away to another bloop! Now if that mouthful doesn't indicate a Maury gone cuckoo, well than I don't know what does! What have I been doing, you ask? Well, I've got two words for you: LAW SCHOOL. More

The Poetry Pantry! by jamie flam, jason betrue, and chaz weinhart
You've come to lunchboxing's pantry for a snack, but you will leave cultured and entertained. What the Poetry Pantry lacks in hydrogenated oil based goodies, it more than makes up for in delicious verse and succulent wordsmithery. Open the crockpot that is your soul and/or brain and use your skewer stick to sift through the fondue that is lunchboxing poetry. Then stick it in your mouth and let it melt, one stanza at a time. Adieu! More

You Can Make A Difference!

Hello friends. With so many problems in our world, it pains me to turn to you in a plea for help. I would not ask you to open your hearts, or your pocketbooks, unless it was for a worthy cause -- but in this holiday season I must appeal to your Christian-Judeo generosity. (Muslims: exempt.) More

An Open Letter To Lenny Kravitz by Captain "Doc" Calhoun
How are you doing my rock and roll man?! I wouldn't be surprised if you were "jammin' out" right now! Oh how I envy you rock stars. Always rocking out, or got your arm around the girl I've been lusting over for years on the "T.V.", right? Ha! But that's just life's special pecking order, I suppose: Rock stars get the girls on T.V. and limousines with no effort, while regular schmos like me can only get girls and limos with... A SHITLOAD OF CASH! And so I trek on trying to find my OWN path to pussy and luxury, sans money. Which leads to the reason I am contacting you, Lenny. More

The Visitor
featuring Jim Morrison
by jamie flam
Jim awoke at 9 am to the sound of a funeral procession outside his Parisian flat. He slowly rose to his feet, leaving the soft, silken sheets he had recently purchased at a specialty store entitled "La Soie GŽniale" around the corner from his house. He made a mental note: "Silk feels fantastic on the scrotum." More

Short Reviews of the CD's Currently Scattered On My Desk At Home
by jamie flam
My desk is all fucked these days. Hardly conducive to "work" or "leisure," making it ultimately useless. But it does have one important function: it is single-handedly providing the fodder for this here article you are reading. How? By being the temporary home to random compact discs that will be refiled (read: shoved in with my other CD's) as soon as I get off my lazy ass for once and do something productive. So yeah, here are some CD's that happen to be on my desk, and what I think about them.More

Diary of a Carjacker by a car jacker
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. Just look at the media today. We swim through our national cable news channels, all in the 50's, and no one ever talks about me and my career. Terrorism, the economy, the election - I don't care about any of that. I am a fundamental part of the economy, I hate terrorism as much as the next freelance worker, and I think my vote counts as much as anyone else. Should me and my ilk ever receive such a noble mention as to cascade across the bottom scroll of Fox News or CNN? Nope. It's always the same story: CAR JACKER KILLS FAMILY OF FOUR IN PURSUIT OF 1989 CHRYSLER MINIVAN. NEIGHBORS HORRIFIED. First of all, the world has us wrong. We drive the economy, if you'll pardon the pun. More

Kiss & Tell
by jeff berson
Hello fans. The name is Jeff Berson. Many of you already know about my wildly popular Kiss-and Tell column which appears in publications in the non-continental United States and in U.S. occupied territories East of Florida. But if you are a new reader, let me break you in slowly: I am an artist. My paint brush is my tongue. My mouth is my easel. And my canvas is your mouth. It's really simple: I have a need to express myself and I do it through kissing. But that expression not only takes form in the physical act of kissing, but also in its detailed literary complement. I don't consider this bragging, so if I come off as pompous or arrogant, then you my friend have some growing up to do. More

An Open Letter To Richard Kelly by jeremy padow

Fuck Yourself
featuring Dick Cheney
by paws o'henry
Vice President Dick Cheney strutted down the blue carpet leading to the West Wing. He felt the secretaries' eyes on him, but he had no time for such trivialities. He was the leader of the free world. Well, not officially the leader of the free world, because that was President George W. Bush. But Bush did what Cheney told him to do. He knew the score. More The LUBO Guide On How Not To Meditate

Fiery Furnaces, The Shins @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles 6/4/2004
by charlie padow
I'm a curmudgeon. The majority of contemporary music out there just makes me angry. For a long time, I lamented over the testosterone-laden grumblings of rap-metal hybrid bands who enabled legions of entitled and angst-ridden white suburban boys to get barbed wire tattoos on their biceps and purchase monster trucks.

54 Euphemisms For Jerking It

Masturbating is something that we do because it feels fantasmic. But sometimes there are just not enough words in the English language to describe the act and it's subsequent glory. That's why there are so many eupehmisms for the act of jerkin' it sweetly. Here are exactly 54 of them. More

The Uninformed Guide To... Personal Finance
by chaz weinhart
With the frigid winter months quickly approaching (March 1, 2067) it is time that we each look closely at our lives and ascertain our personal system of values. Do you believe in God? In Honesty? For most of the people out there who are not communists, the answer to these two questions is a resounding "No." Yes, for a majority of us out there, our lives revolve around one thing entirely: Money.

Calling it Quits: Beulah's Last Stand
by charlie padow
Last fall, San Francisco-based indie rock band Beulah released Yoko, their ominously titled fourth and possibly final album. Sounding like a sly reference to the alleged source of the Beatles' breakup, the album was much moodier and dark than their previous pop-laden releases. Was the title alluding to the familiar Beulah themes of broken hearts and unrequited love, or was it signaling the end of an even bigger relationship? More

26 Pick-Up Lines For Those In Long-Term Relationships

They too need subtle and convincing ways to communicate their need to get laid. Here are some lines to help people in long-term relationships spice things up with a little pillow talk.... sexual pillow talk. More

Where Are They Now?: Head of the Class Edition
by jamie flam and devon lester murphy
If you were a child of the late 80's and 90's chances are you got more of an education from ABC's hit TV series "Head of the Class" than you did in your actual classroom. Yes, from 1986 to 1991, teacher Charles P. 'Charlie' Moore not only taught a class of exceptional students Science or History or whatever, he taught a bewildered America how to laugh, how to cry, and most importantly how to 'not do the drugs.' It was a good time and the streets were safer as a direct result. Or so we here at lunchboxing love to think. But where is the cast of this epic show now? Where is all-star "teacher" Howard Hesseman? I mean, surely he resides in all of our hearts. But what about physically? Is he dead? Dying? Living in a shitty duplex? What about the rest of the dynamic cast? More
