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’.

            I find the old picturelike a forgotten candy bar tucked away in ones bootonly to be remembered in the middle of a munchie fueled, drugcrazed searchIt is in quiet moments like this that I meditate on theeYou break out and are upon melike the warm shhuddering piss of a walrus at a breakfast buffetI find myself helplessand in awe of your immense power and graceThe Greek Chorus may taunt mesinging (to the tune of Camptown Ladies) “Johnny Cash didn’t havea mustache - doo-da - doo-da”but I simply smile to myself, because I know the truth…Just because you don’t see a mustache doesn’t mean it isn’t there.



            I find the old picture

            like a forgotten candy bar tucked away in ones boot

            only to be remembered in the middle of a munchie fueled, drug

            crazed search



            It is in quiet moments like this that I meditate on thee

            You break out and are upon me

            like the warm shhuddering piss of a walrus at a breakfast buffet

            I find myself helpless

            and in awe of your immense power and grace



            The Greek Chorus may taunt me

            singing (to the tune of Camptown Ladies) “Johnny Cash didn’t have

            a mustache - doo-da - doo-da”

            but I simply smile to myself, because I know the truth…



            Just because you don’t see a mustache doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
