Genuine Poor Bastard Reports in From The Great State.....

Charles Ray Harper, a Genuine Poor Bastard, lifetime holder of a chair on the High Council of the Fraternal Order of the Poor Bastard, and a native son of the Great State of Texas has reported in to the Poor Bastard World Headquarters to confirm that the Poor Bastard's Misery Index in Ft. Worth, TX has indeed exceeded the previously established maximum misery level of Ridiculously F-ing Miserable!

Charlie Ray called in last night to report that the heatwave which has blanketed most of the Kingdom of the Poor Bastard for much of the summer had produced a temperature reading, at his southeast Ft. Worth home, of 108 degrees at 7:00PM......down from the day's high reading of 114 degrees taken at 5:00PM!

The High Council was notified of this development and has scheduled an emergency session to discuss whether to add a new level to the Poor Bastard's Misery Index....

Genuine Poor Bastard Charles Ray Harper is seen here reminiscing at a gathering of fellow Poor Bastards somewhere in the Great State of Texas....Charlie's general attitude toward much of mankind is displayed on the front of his tee-shirt!
