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’.

            So I’m doing a new book. Many of you might be familiar with the little Choose Your Own Mustache Adventure that I did online. 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 to a Choose Your Own Adventure book only it will be for adults and be written by many wonderfully creative and insane people. I also have various artists contributing different illustrations as well. At some point we’ll hopefully be able to open up the whole process for some reader submissions, written & drawn.

            The book is pretty much done. Off to the printers Monday. Its about 100 pages with 30 hand drawn illustrations, 70 bits of sass and peyote inspired wisdom. Its looking pretty sweet.
