i love the dead
before they're cold
their bluing flesh
for me to hold
cadaver eyes
upon me see

The Rarest Day On The Calendar

I don't know about you, but I am busy celebrating the rarest day on the calendar-- that's right:

HAPPY LEAP YEAR DAY!

Congratulations on your calendar correction! I hope it lasts for 4 more years! (winky) I don't have alot of time because I am busy building my leap year kite that I will fly for the traditional 29 minutes before cutting the string and making my leap year wish as I watch the kite fly off into the ether... Then I will partake in the traditional February 29th meal of clotted liver biscuits and sheep's blood, before assembling the family around the burning furniture for a reading of Carrot Top's leap year classic, The First Leap Year Feast For Johnny and Jimmy. By then, the children will be mighty drowsy from their once-every-four-years treat: an entire bottle of NyQuil each! And then, of course, as is customary on February 29th, I will strip naked and fire my gun into the air 29 times before going to bed with visions of the rarest day on the calendar dancing in my head.

Happy Leap Year, Everybody!

when you think about death, do you lose your breath
or do you keep cool?
would you like to see the pope on the end of a rope?
do you think he's a fool?

Hide The Gerbil

I wasn't really so surprised to see the rats in the kitchen. What with all the day-old loaves of bread, stacks of cheese and open jars of peanut butter lying around, I guess I should have expected it. But, when they burst in-- all wearing baby-blue-tuxedos, line dancing to the Billy Ray Cyrus song blasting out of their tiny boom-box, (where did they find that thing anyway?) carrying a sacrificial salamander-- that is when I was taken slightly aback. The sacrifice cerermony didn't last more than 30 minutes, and was actually quite beautiful, what with all the singing and crying and hugging, and palpable hope that next year's harvest wouldn't be so bleak. That is, it was beautiful until I was the one stuck cleaning all the virgin salamander blood off the kitchen floor.

The Truth About Me

When I am walking on a train platform, and a train starts moving, (or worse yet two trains start moving-- one to my left and one to my right) I get vertigo.

Wonders O. Internetulation

Here at Celebratory Air-Bump World Headquarters, my staff and I receive literally hundreds of spam emails every day. And while I believe that the people who send these out should have their flesh slowly removed with a butter knife and then the fleshless bodies should be rolled around in a salt-vinegar mixture (for hours), I have found mild enjoyment in these (randomly-generated?) names in my "from" column in the past week or so:

What'choo Talkin Bout Fernseher?

Well, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum; what might be right for you, may not be right for some. What I'm saying here is that it takes dif'frent strokes, it takes dif'frent strokes it takes dif'frent strokes to rule the world. But that is beside the point, the point is: when you feel life getting you down, or you feel your hunger pokin at ya, pokin at ya, you need to turn to a higher power. Lay all your troubles on the TV. TV will make everything better. Watch for 15-17 hours straight. It will make your life turn around, I promise. (even watching shopping channels will help) It's just like in that PJ Harvey song where she sings, "Throw your pain in the river..." Throw your pain in the river of cathode ray-produced light and feel the weight of the world magically lift from your shoulders. It is therapeutic, informative, healing, and overall: worth your time.

TV: the future of therapy

Classic Movie Moment

Remember that movie where Christopher Walken is all, "You're an Italian" and Dennis Hopper is all, "You're a Sicilian monkey" and Walken is all, "You eat linguine" and Hopper is all, "I don't eat linguine, you monkey" and Walken is all, "Then you better just kill me 'cause Rosanna Arquette just ran away with my son" and Hopper is all, "I always thought David Arquette was radder" and Walken is all, "No way. Really, just kill me." then Hopper is all, "Man, you're not so bad, and you're a good dancer" and Walken is all, "Did'ja see me in that Fatboy Slim video? I was ripping up the place!" and Hopper is all, "Yeah, did'ja see me when I was all-- hey that colonel Kurtz man he tells the truth or whatever?" and Walken is all, "How long is this gonna take, cause I got some linguine boiling for you you fuckin Italian." That was the best. I love that scene.

Sensitive Moment

Is there anything more beautiful than a plastic bag caught in an updraft? If there is, I don't want to know about it. Or, if there is, and I find out about it, I want to hunt it down and kill it. Or, if I find out there is something more beautiful, but it is inanimate, (two plastic bags caught in an updraft, maybe?) then I will have to create some sort of mind-zap machine that forces all who see said beautiful thing to forget about it entirely, and replace that memory with memories of Mel Gibson or piles of fingernail clippings or something.

Maybe Even a Salamander...?

OK, so you know that "scientific" theory about throwing a frog in boiling water? You know, the one that says if you put the frog in cold water and gradually raise the heat until the water is boiling, you will kill the frog, but if you try to throw the frog in water that is already boiling, he will simply jump out? Well, I think these wannabe-sadists aren't trying hard enough. Because if you get a pot that is tall enough, then put boiling water in the bottom, then throw in the frog, he won't be able to jump high enough, and will die in the boliling water. Also, I think the theory might apply to freezing. That is: put the frog in cold water and gradually decrease the temperature until you have a frog-cicle. I think it would work, but I don't have time to try it right now. And I don't have a frog.

This play stars Matt Damon as Johnny and Keanu Reeves as Donny.

Scene: a living room in Lawrence, Kansas circa 1987

Johnny: Hey Donny, I'm gonna go shoot craps in the alley with Buggy-- wanna come?
Donny: Dude! I HATE Buggy!
Johnny: What? Since when? Why do you hate Buggy?
Donny: Aww... You're right. He's pretty cool. Want some Ju-Ju Bees?
Johnny: You bet! (pauses, but takes no Ju-Ju Bees) After craps, wanna set dogs on fire again?
Donny: (perplexed look) Again?
Johnny: Yeah, you know-- Again, as in 'a second time'?
Donny: Oh! Again! Yeah, sure. Want some Ju-Ju Bees?

Glenn Frey Could Out-Harsh Those Pussies

Hey, I just got a hot tip for all Kenny Loggins fans: according to All Music Guide, if you are into Loggins, but are looking for something "harsher, more aggressive", then you should TOTALLY check out Huey Lewis and the News. Additionally, if you are still into Kenny Motherfuckin Loggins, but think you could go for something "more sensual, playful", then get yourself down to the music store (post-haste) and pick up some James Chance and the Contortions. You won't be sorry.
