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’.

            Again we wander the dark void

            like Washington crossing the Delaware for more Doritos’s

            knowing that nothing truly significant can be said

            of prepackaged snacks… or of the human condition

            yet we a pray - chant  - holler and sing

            and sure most of its just pillow talk

            for a nickel - or a little attention

            but it sure is a damn purdy noise none the less

            reminds me of what old Issa wrote


            Insects on a leaf

            floating downriver,

            still singing


            and did I get a chance to show the sweet ass cat I picked up at the thrift store today?
