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’.

             Hey its my 2 year Tumblr anniversary! Lets celebrate with my Choose Your Own Adventure/Mustache book - Jade You are the cocaine fueled lead singer of the defunct band, Shy Glove. It has been 6 years since your last hit single, “Mustache Fuss” and it has been a sharp jagged fall from the top. Your latest solo record “Mumbletop Mountain” opened on Billboards top 200 at #114, only to fall off the face of the earth and to never be heard from again. Your big tour was immediately cancelled and the only gigs you can get are opening for Creed at state fairs across the mid-west. You owe money to evil people all over the world; Drug dealers, bookies, ex-spouses, club managers, gangsters, & even a dictator of some eastern block country, whose kids birthday you failed to show up at. Your only hope of even staying alive at this point is by getting the band back together for a reunion tour. The only problem is your old lead guitarist, Frank, has gone missing. Linda, Franks wife, says that Frank started acting erratically in the past few months. He grew a mustache and started disappearing for days and then weeks at a time. Linda says she hasn’t seen Frank in 2 weeks but he appears at the house from time to time. She needs your help. Franks coke dealer, in El Segundo is also looking for him. Linda is worried.Do you go to Linda & Frank’s home in Santa Monica to see LindaorDo you go over to Frank’s dealer in El Segundo

            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.

             Thinking about doing a full length Choose Your Own Adventure book. You are the cocaine fueled lead singer of the now defunct band, Shy Glove. It has been 6 years since your last hit single, “Mustache Fuss” and it has been a sharp jagged fall from the top. Your latest solo record “Mumbletop Mountain” opened on Billboards top 200 at #114, only to fall off the face of the earth and to never be heard from again. Your big tour was immediately canceled and the only gigs you can get now are opening for Creed at state & county fairs across the mid-west. You owe money to many powerful and evil people all over the world; Drug dealers, bookies, ex-spouses, club managers, gangsters, & even a dictator of some eastern block country, whose kids birthday party you failed to show up at. It’s becoming obvious, your only hope of even staying alive at this point is by getting the band back together for a reunion tour. The only problem is your old lead guitarist, Frank, has gone missing. Linda, Franks wife, says that Frank started acting erratically in the past few months. He grew a mustache and started disappearing for days and then weeks at a time. Linda says Frank appears at the house from time to time. She needs your help. Frank also has a coke dealer in El Segundo who is looking for him. Linda is worried that it might already be to late and that Frank could be gone forever.Do you go to Linda & Frank’s home in Santa Monica to see Linda orDo you go over to Frank’s dealer in El Segundo

            Mustache - I Got A (Mustache!)

            Hey Mustache Fans! This song is fuckalicious! Listen to it on repeat while reading my Mustache novella on Tumblr.

            My mustache book is just like the bible; in that it is poorly written, full of vague pop culture references and if you don’t believe that every misplaced comma is the work of the Lord… well yer going to HELL!!!

            P.S. Tuesdays will now be known as WYT (Whore Yourself Tuesdays)
