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’.

            “And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned to a pillar of salt. So it goes.” - Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Five

            Hey I put my full color Kurt Vonnegut t-shirt design on Zazzle.com. It features design elements from his books. My favorite is the fur collar covered with assholes.

            Hey thanks to ordinarywonder for reviewing my

            It reminded me, now that I’m unemployed I should promote my books and art. Maybe I’ll make a few bucks! Ahh, I’ll probably blow it on airplane glue.

            So, if you would like a set of the new full color Kurt Vonnegut postcards just review my book on Amazon and I’ll send you a free set of 13! or if you want, I still have some Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Philip K. Dick postcards. 

            Message me once you’ve and tell me what you want and I’ll drop you a free 13 in the mail. Deal?

            kilgoretroutstories: Untitled - by Kilgore Trout It was about a planet where the language kept turning into pure music, because the creatures there were so enchanted by sounds. Words became musical notes. Sentences became melodies. They were useless as conveyors of information, because nobody knew or cared what the meanings of words were anymore.So leaders in government and commerce, in order to function, had to invent new and much uglier vocabularies and sentence structures all the time, which would resist being transmuted to music.

            kilgoretroutstories: Money Tree - by Kilgore Trout Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer.So it goes. I just wanted to gather all the Kilgore Trout books/stories that Kurt Vonnegut wrote, in one place. Might be kinda fun to make fake book covers too.
