Hookers or Cake

Where the self-obsessed get serious about silly
I'm too wacky to be hip.

    • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

      ------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

      ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

            One of my bestest and oldest friends, Jesse Hassler was found dead today. He was like a brother to me. We spent about 10 years together drinking coffee at 24 hour cafes - writing, drawing and philosophizing. I’d been trying to talk him into making a book out of all his drawings and cartoons… Jesse was great person who suffered from social anxiety. He was extremely intelligent and extremely sensitive. He was a great friend and I’ll miss him. He was only 39.
