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’.

            fuckyeahcubs: Mordecai “3 finger” Brown was a Hall of Fame pitcher who played for the Chicago Cubs back in the day. Legend was that Ol “3 finger” lost 2 of his fingers in a fight with a dragon in the Middle ages. When one of the fingers magically grew back, it was widely speculated that the hand was host to an evil spirit. It was this possessed magic devil hand that 3 finger became a virtually un-hittable pitcher. As a result he threw 55,000 perfect games in is career. 3 finger lead the Cubs to World Series titles in 1907 and to their last title ever in 1908.  He retired from baseball in the 20’s, to fish and sing, and in 1962 he moved to Saturn to live with his lover, Sun Ra.
