new old stock
added three IDIOTicles today. they were originally published elsewhere under a female pseudonym, so they’re old, but new here. no big deal; just wanted them in the archives.

my apologies to any poor fuckers out there who tried to pick “me” up while i was posing as a hot persian woman. i know — brains and looks? tough combination to resist. yeah, there were some people who wrote in sounding almost as sexually pathetic as i would have if i’d seen such stupendous articles (ha!) penned by such a beauty.
if anybody’s curious, that was a real persian woman in the pic (which i’m not posting anymore), and i did get her permission to use her pic with my articles. interesting story, because i knew i wanted to write under a specific fake persian name (which sounded more female than male, for reasons i won’t bother with right now), but didn’t know any persian women anymore. just started googling for pretty, smart-looking persians, and happened upon the perfect one. (this beauty came up in my search as well, but the costume didn’t go with the articles.)
through a labyrinthian path, including a translator, i was able to communicate with her in iran, send her some sample articles, and receive her very kind permission for that specific use, under the condition that i email a link each time i published under her pic. only confirmed what i’ve known for years; generally, middle easterners are naturally very kind and hospitable — often more so than average americans.
