It’s being reported that soon we’ll have a “universal” influenza inoculation… I don’t know whether to laugh or puke. Yes, I understand the virus in a flu shot is in a weakened state and “there’s no way to get sick” from it. Tell that to me when the front and back evacuations are in their fully majestic schesis and my fever’s so high my hands feel like two floydian party favors. Like comedy, it’s not pretty! Will this “cure any [...]
Kadafi is dead! Or Gaddafi. Or Qadaffi? Or Poon. I don’t care, he’s D E A D. Dead. And I am glad. I know I’m supposed to be a much more refined human than that but like Usama/ Osama I’ve really happy that pieces of his head (and with that his brains) are no longer attached to him. He was a stinking turd with skin. Mourn those who’ve suffered because of him. Drink to the health of the Libyan people. [...]
HATFIELD McCOY – OUR HOSPITALITY Holy crap in a hat I couldn’t dig Hatfield McCoy any more if Our Hospitality’d let me write the lyrics, be their live show go-go dancer, and promised me free cocktails. And that’s saying a lot because I write, I dance and I drink. It’s kind of my thing. And the highest compliment I can give is that Hatfield McCoy will heighten each of those things. Well maybe not the writing, ‘cause that’s a solitary [...]
I read an interesting article (at least it was interesting to me) about the “Day Jobs” of famous writers. Great men of letters… who sometimes sorted them in order to survive. You know like Charles Bukowski. Or taught history… like Steven King. Or took care of rich people’s children…like Charlotte Bronte. So here’s a quote for my tombstone, “Actors are waiters… writers will do anything.” Good Year – The Refreshments J.D. Salinger was an entertainment director on a cruise ship. [...]
A local children’s museum has a wonderful new exhibit about the middle ages… that’s right all of the wonder of living inside castle walls so you won’t be killed by wild marauders, random disease (good luck on that one) or the king. Oh, the king lived inside the walls too. Well, so much for that . Unhand me, my lady… on second thought… Moribund The Burgermeister – Peter Gabriel At one time entire European villages would be taken over by [...]
The California Medical association has called for the legalization of Marijuana. And realistically! They say they’re not sure of the medicinal properties (they’ll give you pills that cure dry skin but make your butt bleed) and they acknowledge there’s some health risk, but they’d like to see it regulated like alcohol. 50% of Americans now agree with them. This number will be 70% in 10 years. So who’s against it? Do-gooders. Law Enforcement. Corporations who manufacture alcohol. With a list [...]
