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’.

            My mom had let me stay up late to watch the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. She told me that one of the most brilliant minds in the world was going to be on and she wanted me to see him. I watched very intently. Years later in a deep meditative state, I realized that she had mixed up Nelson Rockefeller with Charles Nelson Reilly. a happy mistake

            My mom had let me stay up late to watch the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. She told me that one of the most brilliant minds in the world was going to be on and she wanted me to see him.

            I watched very intently.
