CDC Takes Over The Old Hotel Marshall To Find Cause Of Rampant Local Skin Disorder

              Photo by Steve Stein 

The federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recently taken over the only skyscrapper in the sleepy little east Texas town of Marshall, Texas to conduct a full environmental study trying to locate the cause of a rampant local pellagra-like skin condition known as cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, or "redneckism." The program will study all suspected sources including yellow heels, crackers, hayseeds and trash without pigment.

Mother's Day Comes To The House Of Daily Horrors

Photo by Steven M. Stein

My friends Steve and Louise from Longbeach, California came to Marshall, Texas to see the quaint little east Texas town and to see what all my hub bub about The House of Daily Horrors (shown here in the background) was all about. At that time the house was occupied by two infamous local drug addicts, a mother and daughter team, whose exploits in pill popping redneckery were renouned throughout the piney woods region. It was Mother's Day and my Longbeach friends came bearing gifts. The following is a group conversation about the event: Cy Jarvis: Mom and Beth get Mother's Day presents from Steve and Louise. Melanie: They actually look good here. Well... 'good' is relative... Jimi: Look at em, on their best behavior! Steven: I lived in a very drug oriented commune when I was younger, I kinda understand your grandmothers and your aunts personality. They couldn't phase me. Cy Jarvis: It was MY neck Beth tried to slice open with shearing scissors. Steven: That day??? Louise: Yes, Melanie. They both (believe it or not) are very attractive women. I felt so bad as James mother had wanted to attend Mass with me and we miscommunicated and we missed her. The Mass sermon was so beautiful, the Church quaint. etc. One of those missed "once in a lifetime ops".

Dog Tries To Escape From The House Of Daily Horrors In Marshall, Texas





Photos by Steven M. Stein
Poor Annie The Dog. Drugged, fed stale table scraps and leftovers from the fridge, forced to urinate and defecate indoors on a reeking gaudy red carpet, chased around the interior of the House of Daily Horrors by ghosts and demons, cohabiting the dark house on Forest Trail in Marshall, Texas with fleas, lice, dust mites, mold and bed bugs. It's a dog's life. The dog tries to run away but can be seen here being restrained by the crack house's caretaker, some toothless old pot bellied, suspenders-wearing east Texas piney woods redneck called Big Bubba No Trubba.

Morning The Passing Of Toxic Playground Equipment In Marshall, Texas


This is the train we kids played in and on in the 70's, the old T&P 2-8-0 No. 400 at the city park across the street from the stinky animal slaughterhouse in Marshall, Texas. They cleaned it up removing all the toxic materials recently and moved it to the Marshall Amtrak train depot across town but I sure did love climbing all over this thing before I went swimming at the Lion's Club pool at the top of the hill (where the dead pig smells didn't reach).

Marshall, Texas Gets A Pot To Pee In

As part of Marshall, Texas' downtown revitalization program, a new public toilet was installed on main street. Marshallites, not having any public restrooms since its establishment in 1841, got tired of being referred to as "Marshall, Texas - A Town Without A Pot To Pee In."
