If you thought our previous t-shirt was risky, you haven't seen anything yet. In addition to our traditional Drunken Taoist logo t-shirt, which are always in stock and ready to ship, we are now taking pre-orders for the new design. See if you can spot yours truly, Iz, Duncan Trussell, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ikkyu Sojun, Tom Robbins, Shiva and Ganesh, Dionysus and Pan, Rich Evirs, Savannah Em, Buddha (or, what's left of him) in the midst of the Dionysian revelries taking place in the forest. Thank you to the epic Savannah Em for the art and to Bennett Grunberg from Sure Design for his support with this. For any questions, email me at [email protected].

The "Rant of the Day":

• The greatest modern American novelist Tom Robbins (and why we can't have him as a guest). The discovery of how joy and depth can go hand in hand--or, how Tom Robbins saved me.
• How the new drunken taoist t-shirt can get you fired
• Tom Robbins and wine
• The Pope cussing like a sailor: "In questo cazzo..."

The "I Have A Dream" Corner:

• Iz's dream: a nutella-juggling elephant and pink-skirted dancing kangaroos
• Why is Nutella not sponsoring us?
• Can't dial 911 to save an evil bastard

The "Storytelling Moment":

• The wild life of Thomas Pain

The "Iz Moment":

• The uncanny ability to pick up the most inappropriate lyrics in any song and repeat it at the worst possible moment. "Weed is life, weed is reality". Thanks Snoop...
• Watching UFC with Iz and comparing and contrasting Bruce Lee's and Jimi Hendrix's death in between rounds
• Hercules and the Magic Fart. Thor Goes to Anger Management Classes. Tired of Poachers, the Baby Pandas Get the AK-47. Bugs Bunny, Al Capone and Prohibition on Alcohol
• Hobbit toys

The "Ask Bolelli" Corner:

• Pull ups! (and tequila pull ups)
• Dennis Rodman and heart
• North Korean dictators and crazy Roman emperors
• Daniele's perverted writing process. Albinoni and highly emotional states. Writing from a place of intensity.
