today has been canceled

A picture named today buster.jpgHere is a heads up on an exciting "Duh!" prank soon to be carried out.

With the help of my friend John Vitale I have created this terrific banner.

It says "Today has been canceled.  Everybody go home.  This means you!"

A picture named banner pics.jpgUnderneath it says, "details at www.duh.cc"

Tomorrow morning I will put it at a busy intersection where its misinformation will wreak havoc on commuters and workers.

Thousands of people will go home and go back to bed, thinking that everything has been called off and canceled for the day.

They will check my blog for the reason for the day's cancelation and find my ridiculous stories about nothing.

A picture named duh.cc.jpgI can only guess what profound effect this will have upon our society and our economy when everyone in America and perhaps the world stays home and  twiddles their thumbs for twenty-four hours.

The stock market will probably crash.  People will loot unattended hot dog stands.  Chickens will break dance on top of fire hydrants.  It will be mayhem.

My advice is to simply stay inside, lock your doors and read my blog.

(p.s. If you find this prank interesting and amusing be sure to let John Vitale know that his work is appreciated, since he spent his Sunday evening working on this banner in a cold warehouse instead of snuggling with his lovely wife in front of the television.  His web site is linked on the right hand side of my blog).

great new era

A great new era has dawned in my household.  I have washed my comforters.  Six months of personal grime and dried fluids has been returned to the universe (along with the personal grime and fluids of some guest lodgers).  No longer will my bedcovers have the texture and scent of a homeless persons' curbside sleeping bag.  No longer will I have to put pillows in strategic places to hide certains stains and discolorations.

My next project? Project scum tub, perhaps.  Or maybe voyage to the bottom of the refrigerator.   

a heart

I went to Chick-Fil-A with Bob Bandit and Joe Venuti today.  Bob took the top bun off his chicken sandwich and started dousing it with ketchup.  I looked at Bob's chicken breast and noticed it had a very particular shape.

"Your chicken looks just like a human heart," I said.

"I should stick it on my chest and see what it feels like to have one," Bob said.

what form the reaper will take

I sometimes wonder how it is that Bob Bandit is still alive.  He drinks (and drives) and smokes more than anyone I know.   I wonder what form the grim reaper will take for him.

His most dangerous habit may be the girls he bangs.  He sleeps with the girlfriends and wives of a lot of jealous and powerful people. 

"Listen to this," Bob said, handing me his cell phone. 

"This is Chuck, Lisa's boyfriend," a very gruff and angry sounding man said.  "I am coming to your house right now to kick your ass.  I hope you're ready for me."

obsessive compulsive disorder

It's a beautiful day here in St. Petersburg.  The sky is blue.  The sun is shining.  Dogs and children are playing in the park.  Lovers are walking down the lane hand in hand.

Meanwhile, I am sitting in front of my computer, wearing the same clothes I had on last night, clicking the refresh button every five seconds, waiting for my blog to overtake Ojo Caliente in total number of hits.

(I would mix things up by popping pimples in my bathroom mirror, but the light is burned out in there.  Meanwhile my house is so poorly heated that its almost too cold to masturbate.  I have to cover all but the most important parts with my comforter (which should have been washed six months ago).  I say almost too cold--I have managed to do it twice since I got up.  I think about going out and buying light bulbs, because it seems like they're burned out everywhere.  But when I go to get my car keys, I passs by the computer.  Next thing you know I am clicking the refresh button again.)

Just 46 more hits, Mr. Caliente.

drunken idea

I had this drunken idea last night that when I got home to my blog I was going to binge write some sort of stream of consciousness novel  that said everything there was to say about everything.

Fortunately, I just checked my e-mail and went to bed.
