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 find the old picturelike a forgotten candy bar tucked away in ones bootonly to be remembered in the middle of a munchie fueled, drugcrazed searchIt is in quiet moments like this that I meditate on theeYou break out and are upon melike the warm shhuddering piss of a walrus at a breakfast buffetI find myself helplessand in awe of your immense power and graceThe Greek Chorus may taunt mesinging (to the tune of Camptown Ladies) “Johnny Cash didn’t havea mustache - doo-da - doo-da”but I simply smile to myself, because I know the truth…Just because you don’t see a mustache doesn’t mean it isn’t there.



            I find the old picture

            like a forgotten candy bar tucked away in ones boot

            only to be remembered in the middle of a munchie fueled, drug

            crazed search



            It is in quiet moments like this that I meditate on thee

            You break out and are upon me

            like the warm shhuddering piss of a walrus at a breakfast buffet

            I find myself helpless

            and in awe of your immense power and grace



            The Greek Chorus may taunt me

            singing (to the tune of Camptown Ladies) “Johnny Cash didn’t have

            a mustache - doo-da - doo-da”

            but I simply smile to myself, because I know the truth…



            Just because you don’t see a mustache doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

            The mustache that can spoke of    is not the eternal mustacheThe understanding that can be understood    is not wisdomFor the mustache is the beginning of heaven and earth    it is the mother of all thingsMustachioed one can see the entire mysteryMustacheless one only sees the manifestationThese two ways of being are identical       they only differ in nameThe mustache exists     only when it does notThis is the gateway to all mystery.     - Mustache Te Ching

            The mustache that can spoke of

                is not the eternal mustache

            The understanding that can be understood

                is not wisdom


            For the mustache is the beginning of heaven and earth

                it is the mother of all things


            Mustachioed one can see the entire mystery

            Mustacheless one only sees the manifestation


            These two ways of being are identical

                   they only differ in name


            The mustache exists

                 only when it does not

            This is the gateway to all mystery.

            Guess who’s doing an illustration for the new book? DAN METH !!!   Please give the man a follow. He’s not only a great illustrator and animator but he’s also wonderfully funny and insane. Ohh and maybe pledge a couple of bucks for the book (if you can spare it) its not like you won’t get a really sweet ass book or four out of the deal.

            Hey Cats & Jammers, my newest book project is live and available on kickstarter.com What is kickstarter? Ohh my friends, its just the most awesome and wonderful way to produce crazy AND unique art. You pledge some $$$ to a specific artist for a project, they make and produce that art project and then you get the art. Some of you may be familiar with the little Choose Your Own Mustache Adventure that I did online. Well I thought it would be fun to turn that into a full length book. I also wanted to collaborate on a book with some friends… so I combined the two ideas and have come up with Choose Your Own Author. The book will be quite similar in style to the Choose Your Own Adventure books from when we were kids, only this book will be for adults and authored by many wonderfully creative and insane people. I also have various artists contributing different illustrations as well. Some of the authors so far are Josh Luft, Philip T. Hunter, Aurora Adams, Nathan T. Dean, Jade Bos, Fake H. S. Thompson and a couple of the old Viking Youth Power hour podcast guys. It’ll be fun, wild and mind blowingly delicious. (p.s. my 1,000 post!)
