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’.

            I built a machine for my dead grandmother. It was a room sized mood organ. She could sit in a comfortable chair in front of a large TV screen surrounded by speakers. There were dozens of brightly colored buttons on a control panel with corresponding words on them remorse joy apathy rage empathy absurdity peace  Push a button and the subject would see images, video, sound, music, I also incorporated smell, temperature and of course brain wave technology. Grandma just kept mashing a faded gray button labeled REGRET.  One day she had enough and smashed the whole machine into bits. Now I spend most of my time bailing her out of jail. It seems that grandma loves nothing more than to drink a couple of sloe gin fizzes and flash young Latino boys on the city bus.
