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’.

            Somebody said something one time
            and it was really beautiful.
            Somebody said something one time
            and it was really ugly.
            Somebody said something one time
            and it made you cry.
            Somebody said something one time
            and you were glowing for hours…

            God spoke and the word became flesh.

            What happened next the pope couldn’t condone.

            Someone said something one time
            and your mother died.
            Someone said something one time
            and the parking meter ran outta money.

            “Life is a boundless mystery…”
            said a lizard, thoughtfully smoking a pipe

            everybody knows that you may already be a winner
            but I know
            that you are already dead

            I went to the funeral
            and everyone was being picked off
            as if by a sniper
            one by one
            of course the authorities showed up
            but they never found,
            anyone.

            oh sure there were clues!
            tantalizingly & delicious clues!

            but the prime suspect turned out to be

            a 8yr old little girl

            her alibi was an entire petting zoo

            and several billion years of anticipation
