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’.

            The indie craft show was fun. I met a lot of good people. Though I did not realize there would be little kids there… Three kids ran over to my table, the oldest one was a nine yr old girl. “Cool! Guns knives, and vitamins,” she said, holding up a Hunter S. Thompson postcard. I was instantly terrified. “Can I have one?” she said. “Sure,” I said. How about this one? I showed her a Philip K. Dick postcard. “Its got robots and lasers…” Her younger brother cocked his head and loudly asked “Whats a hooker?” just as the 3-4 yr old knocked a pile of books and tore down my sign. “I like this one,” declared the little girl, holding fast to H.S.T. card. “Mommy look,” she said running over towards a very consevetive looking middle aged women. I swallowed hard. I should’ve duct tapped the AK-47 under the table, couldn’t shoot my way outta here with just my .45. These Goddamn savages. I could light a few of em on fire and escape a midst the screams and smoke, grab the boat to the Bahamas and then island hop to Jamaica and eventually Brazil. Go back to running bales into Mexico and get myself a new identity in Tijuana. Have a nice place in Encinitas in two months tops… The mother looked at the card. I fingered my zippo and moved the gas can into position with my foot. “Oh, I just love Johnny Depp!” she declared.

            “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.” - Hunter S. Thompson
