this evening i did my laundry. i was happy it only cost me $3. while my
clothes were in the dryer (drying) i went up to smiths to buy some beer
and a wedding card. on my way from the parking lot to the store i fell and
broke my right leg and my left arm. the ground was quite icy. fortunately,
i had my Ronco Home Bone Setting KIt (tm) in my car. i managed to hop on
one leg over to the car but just as i was about to reach it i hit yet
another patch of ice and fell breaking my collar bone. this time i yelled
fuck! as loud as i could. i mean two broken bones are not so much trouble,
but now i've got three. shit, i was such a cheap ass son of a bitch that i
bought the 'low priced' kit. it only came with two bone setting packages.
i screamed at the gods, at the sheer irony of it all. my SO was there when
i ordered the kits. she told me, 'you know how you are, if you break
something you break several.' and now, with ultra-clear 20/20 hindsight i
see just how right she was. i was so disgusted with myself i pulled my
Ronco brain extractor from my coat pocket and gave myself a frontal
lobotomy right there in the parking lot. at least this way i won't care
when my SO shows up at the hospital laughing at me.




ps. i have dificult time using subject lines that apply to my ramblings...

Okay.  I'd like to be the God of Hopelessly Unrequited Lust.

Specifically, that's Hopelessly Unrequited Lust for:

Slender, boyish women with bizarre haircuts, pierced noses,
and many earrings who often have tattoos and wear black leather
and hang out in bars in Ann Arbor, where I sometimes sketch them
but never talk to them or show them the drawings because I know
if I did they and their girlfriends would get annoyed and beat me up;

and

Any woman with any variety of British accent.

Please note that I do not lay claim to be God of any other sort
of Hopelessly Unrequited Lust.

In the spirit of Christmas, and with the Cold War now being over, I feel I  
am able to let you, the readers of t.b, in on some of the still-kept  
secrets of the nuclear missile submarine Navy. What follows is the method  
used to target the warheads on an offending country.

Most people are under the mistaken impression that all the warheads are in  
fact just that, nuclear warheads. Nothing could be further from the truth.  
The warheads are actually sent over in waves when the missiles are  
launched, instead of all of them being sent at once. The first wave  
doesn't have nuclear warheads in them, as I mentioned earlier; instead,  
they are outfitted with warheads that bombard the target with candy bars,  
comic books,toys, cigarettes, and other such goodies. This has the effect  
of drawing the kids in the target areas out into the streets and yards of  
the intended targets, which, in turn, draws out their respective mothers,  
aunts, babysitters, and kindly old grandmothers. After all, one cannot let  
the kids just run amock in the streets, where there are all sorts of  
hazards. So they too are now out in the open. Now, when the next wave of  
missiles arrive, they are in fact, the real mccoy, the big bang, the  
actual megatons of destruction.

BOOM   BOOM  BOOMBOOMBOOM   BOOM

KILL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

After all, no one ever said nuclear war was civilized.

But this is a clear overreaction to a degenerate case!  True, were the
viewpoints first constructed then by the speaking party, such an
analysis would be accurate and the subject likely remandavle to
costody.  But the text is mythomemetic in nature and should be
analyzed as such.  The meme here is not freshly synthesized, but
histogenetic, multiply crosslinked, and indefinitely mutated.  Thus the
proper analysis is historical and symbolic.  We might investigate, for
example, the social correlation between parsons and snowmen in the
early Puritan society of Massachusetts Bay; such an inquiry might
prove fruitless, but certainly no less sterile than the flaccid and
false psychological claptrap that, perhaps due to prolonged
spirochetal infection, certain otherwise-respected members of the
community have been so vainly promulgating.

Waitwaitwait, tell them about the N theory.  No, nevermind, I'll do it.

OK, in phrases such as "Stop 'N' Go" and "Tom 'N' Jerry" and "Fast 'N'
Friendly" the N means different things.

When the two words that are seperated by the N are nouns or adjectives, the
N stands for "and."  When the two words are verbs, the N stands for "then."

For example, you don't stop and go; you stop, THEN you go.  You don't pick
and save; you pick, THEN you save.

Likewise, it's Tom AND Jerry, and it's Good AND Plenty.

I didn't come up with this; I sure wish I did, though.
