Piston Toggle, 2013

An oil man in Texas drills into the earth hoping the dirt will yield oil.
He anticipates a long wait- but he's troubled by the waiting, nonetheless. It is blisters on plains with buffalo and pheasants. Drips he wrangles from the pistons, he then laboriously must preserve. With thrift and fortitude, he may endure- though a bit of his soul is dead.

A man attempts to cross the English Channel wearing an india rubber suit,
and carrying a paddle, a foghorn, and an axe. He takes swimming breaks for brandy and cigars. Waves ablute his strokes and course. He does not make it.

A girl from Los Angeles is lost in England. In addition to being disoriented, she can't find her banjo. She is interacting with local people, and it's generally a friendly environment, but little actual progress is being made towards finding her instrument or getting home.

Pork Shank Stew, 2010
[CLICK ON ABOVE IMAGE TO PLAY SOUND]
A vendor sells traditional Boston street fare from a cart. It's a stew made of pork shank, but a very sweet one. A small beehive is housed in his cart. He adds honey to his mixture of meat and poi and cheese. That's what he's known for- this extreme sweetness which must immediately be followed by milk. During the day, while he's working, he's drinking gin, and eating peanuts and stone fruits like plums, and shad roe if there's a wedding feast. His companion is a dog named Wiffles. Pork Shank Stew is proposed as a recipe. If prepared, however, it would surely prove inedible.
