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’.

             TV Mini-Series idea I came up with while ghost writing a treatise on singularity to be ‘penned’ by the late Soupy Sales. The main character is a handsome cad about town by day but a serious artist and P.I. by night. His specialty is when rich and famous people die, he’s called in to ghost write journals, produce quotes and make bizarre art all in their name. It makes them look more interesting to the public and thusly worth more money.  Its kind of a CSI/Quincey meets Cyrano de Bergerac/Roxanne all grudged fucked by the Ghost Whisperer. The twist in Part I is that he’s being stalked by the ghost of Ethel Merman.  Ethel  becomes consumed with a jealous rage whenever our main character chats up a pretty lady and she tries to kill them. As a result he can’t have any relationships. (shades of the Incredible Hulk) Things change in Part 2 when he falls in love with another “mystery” ghost and Ethel’s powers are useless against her. Of course Ethel constantly tries to sabotage everything and many hi-jinks ensue.  Part 3 is when the main character is badly hurt in a skiing accident and put in a coma. Ethel and his ghost lover then fight over his very soul. Starring Crispin Glover and Ed Asner.
