Announcing the Angst-Jöken BLOG.

The Angst-Jöken.

It is the joke form which both recognizes and embraces the madness and futility of being. It is the joke where we find that it is precisely by avoiding the joke that we reveal the suffering of hilarity.

You indeed face the gaping chasm of despair, the total obliteration of meaning. You may have lost your job, your lover may have spurned you, your children may have been sold as landscaping slaves, your Manwich scorched by lasers, your cellphone stored stupidly by your own choice into your top pocket may plop into the toilet while your hand is too insensate to stop itself flushing, and yet in the horror that underscores your understanding of the very utter blackity emptiness of the universe, you see through the Angst-Jöken that the very substance of nothingness is but a black chalkboard, upon which you still have a broken piece of wet chalk, to write, screeching:

Behold The Angst-Jöken! 

Submissions are permitted. Encouragement would be a baseless affectation.
