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’.

            Heys Thanks

            I dunno how to thank & interact with folks via Tumblr (part of its charm I guess) But it does mean a lot to me whenever anyone reblogs something I wrote.

            Thank you - and sorry about my grammar - I was a bad student who barely graduated high school. That and I write most of my stuff just off the cuff as it is inspired by Tumblr posts.

            Thanks again

            thefuzzydave: my-ear-trumpet: ontheborderland: Scene from Karel Capek’s 1921 play, R.U.R., notable for introducing the word ‘robot’.  I’m sort of in the mood to reread this tonight. (Image via www.umich.edu) Hopefully this is one of those 3 hour British slapstick/farce/comedies full of door slamming and mistaken identity.

            "How do you rank yourself among writers (living) and of the immediate past? I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile— some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question."
