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’.

            In doing research for something I’m writing, I came across this splendid work of art.

            …from the Henderson Ledger, done in 1882 by Arapaho Indian artists on the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency. It includes perhaps the best known “medicine vision” of all ledger drawings. Medicine visions are unique to the individual experience of the artist, and they can include spirit beings of a transformational, and beneficial, nature. This example may be the work of the Arapaho artist Frank Henderson himself, for whom the ledger is named.
