(A Tour Through 10 Historical Crushes)
written by: Emily Baudot

You don’t have to be one of the I.D.I.O.T.S. to know that history repeats itself. It’s an idiom, so that means it’s also an indisputable fact. The logic then follows that we should look to history for advice about everything. Cryptocurrency trends? History will tell us where to put our fake money. A loving, accepting approach to trans rights? I bet someone has historically treated trans folk kindly, even if I can’t think of anyone right this moment. Ideas about who to boink? You guessed it: the annals of history can only keep us on course.
In the spirit of productive diddling, I’ve taken it upon myself to list out some of history’s most pungent personalities. I’ve also taken it upon myself to rank them from least arousing to most arousing. Ahem, you’re welcome? And hey! If you want to know more of my horny opinions – or my not-horny opinions about horny things – keep an eye out for ‘Horny Jail Book Club,’ a show led by Dallas comedian Wes Davis and co-starring Beth Jones (she’s an I.D.I.O.T.!) and Jeff Garlish. We review spicy books, from the good to the bad to the downright problematic. We even do some ~live fanfiction readings.~
But you don’t care about my hobbies. You’re a randy little cretin, and you want to read about history’s sluts. So heeeeere they are!

Clock-on-a-Pole: What about ‘em, Em???
You know what they are. It’s a light post but instead of a light it’s an analog clock. It’s a clock-on-a-pole. They’re quaint, but in classic Baudot fashion I found myself taking umbridge* with their existence. At least a light post provides immediate benefit (vis a vis, helping you see at the speed of light). Clock-on-a-pole just stands there and says, “Hello everyone! I can help you know what time it is! But only if you distract yourself long enough to look at my numbers. Alternatively, you can glance at me quickly, hold the image in your mind, and figure it out as you’re walking away so no one knows you can’t read analog clocks very fast.”
*(The linguistic roots of the word “umbridge” precede Harry Potter, as it turns out. You learn something new every day! She’s a clever one, that Just Kidding Rowling.)

Hey there IDIOT fans and haters, it’s me, back again with this week’s update on Texas’ favorite comedy bunch…

When we last left off, IDIOT S was seen slinking into his local CVS, and what did he emerge with? This writer never would have known if not for the mile long receipt, fluttering in the wind behind him…hair dye! RED HAIR DYE! That’s right, our favorite natural redhead may in fact be very UNnatural. Rumor has it, our boy has been hitting the metallic box his entire life. What does bf M have to say about this? Sources say he’s known the whole time and has been nothing but supportive. As for the rest of us…color us completely SHOCKED!

Could IDIOT M have possibly known this deeply held secret? It’s hard to imagine her close friends wouldn’t have discussed it…after all, she might just have a trichological secret of her own. At a recent Monday Night Feast, M was seen adjusting…

Comedy is like a bowl of jello - sometimes you don’t care for a particular spokesperson for the brand, but you aren’t going to stop eating the stuff. We all have that specific flavor and consistency that transports us back to those early dinner visits to Luby’s with your grandparents or your first date at a Luby’s, or some other memory that inevitably involves Luby’s. The Luby’s near my house closed a few years back, so in my mind all Luby’s have been closed forever. That’s my reality. So while I continue to grieve the possible end to all Luby’s everywhere, pull up a chair, lend me an ear, and let me tell you which improv troupes remind me of a certain delectable gelatin dish.
