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’.

            This is pic touches on something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. No, not Miyazaki (though he is awesome and worthy of much awe and ponderance) Its how all the worst shit in America is dirt cheap. I can buy 2 cheeseburgers, fries, a box of Little Debbies and wash it all down with a gallon of gasoline for 6 bucks. Which incidentally is the price for a gallon of petro in countries like England and Italy. Jeff Garland, the chubby guy from Curb your Enthusiasm, has recently become health conscious because he wanted to be around to see his kids grow up. When asked about his new lifestyle he said that it is insanely inconvenient. And he has time and money! Imagine being poor and a mother of 3 who works some $10 dollar an hour job. When I was a kid cigarettes were dirt cheap. $2 a pack. Now they are $10 in the big city. And you can’t smoke anywhere. Say what you want but you don’t find many 2 pack a day smokers anymore. Lets face it. Most of us are convenience junkies. I don’t eat healthy, cuz Dammit! I don’t have time to land my flying car and get out. I’ve got terrible pointless shit to do… like blog picture of kittens on the net! And someday this is where the aliens will find us. Fat, alone and in some desolate wasteland littered with Dr. Pepper cans. Transfixed by some grainy hologram of some little thing that makes us smile or cry. or perhaps its porn… just something that makes us feel alive inside. - Hookers or Cake pic reblogged from devilduck:yellowblog (via kohidekazu)
