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’.

            Alone my heart shall wander inconsolable thru the streets of Tijuana devastated. - The locals will call out to me “Hey stoner dude!” but I will not hear them. - For tonight there is an empty time slot on TLC a void that sings of sadness and mystery and of all the loss you will witness and of all the internet porn you will see I kneel & pray to Saint Rowdy Roddy Piper that these ‘fake hookers’ shall never get to thee.

            Alone

            my heart shall wander

            inconsolable

            thru the streets of Tijuana

            devastated.

            -

            The locals will call out to me

            “Hey stoner dude!”

            but I will not hear them.

            -

            For tonight there is an empty time slot on TLC

            a void that sings of sadness and mystery

            and of all the loss you will witness

            and of all the internet porn you will see

            I kneel & pray to Saint Rowdy Roddy Piper

            that these ‘fake hookers’ shall never get to thee.

            Does anyone remember the episode of LOST where Mr. T goes to the fridge only to discover that sharks had eaten the last of the cherry pie?

            My Dad had a tool chest full of elaborate metal devices.  He used them to fix dishwashers, furnaces, and refrigerators out in the murky tropics of the suburbs. One time on a job he was in split level ranch, on the lower level, fixing a furnace. The homeowners Chihuahua was quite insistent in its belief that my father had no rightly business in the home and proceeded to give my Dad holy hell. Dad tried to nicely shoe it away with a pipe wrench and ‘accidentally’ caught the poor pup right between the eyes with said wrench, killing it instantly. Luckily the dog was small enough to fit into the bottom of Dad’s tool chest.  Whenever Dad would tell this story he would be laughing so hard he could hardly finish. Sometimes I would have to finish for him. “Boy I betcha they still wonder whatever happened to that dog.” Dad would be laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.
