Promethean Times 
As a longtime fan of Bullwinkle, I feel for that tick-infested moose. Thanks for the shout out associating me with that film I had deleted from my memory bank …
I just woke up, so a shout out to anyone is too much noise for me to handle. Why not a nudge or playful pinch. Even a non-spittle ridden ‘psst!’ would be easier for my tired self.
You’re a cranky sleepyhead, but knowing that you’re a writer my guess is that you’re also hungover. Hemingway would be proud of you.
He would be disappointed, though, that I don’t own a shotgun.
Everyone has their flaws.
I also have floss.
Which explains your million-dollar smile.
Ten grand, at best.
Really? Well, then to quote the Pet Shop Boys (dropping the PSB in conversation brings a certain intellectual cachet, I think), you’ve “made such a little go a very long way.”
See, I always thought Bullwinkle was dragging Rocky down. Were I Rocky, I would have betrayed that hyper-thyroidal deer to Boris & Natasha with a quickness.
And think nothing of it. One of my greatest joys in life is reminding people of things they’d just as soon forget. However, while I certainly talk the talk, I’m reluctant to walk the walk, so I’d appreciate you not treating me in kind. I’ve always felt my defining feature was my raging hypocrisy.
When I was living up in Maine, a tourist once asked me in all seriousness, “When do the deer turn into moose?”
I can only assume he was from Jersey. While I didn’t see any moose when I was in Maine, I did see plenty of “Moose X-Ing” signs.
Thanks as always for stopping by!
Marcel Marceau the Rock Opera – crack me up!!!!
Thanks, Jackson! It’s always nice to give somebody a chuckle.
It’s nice to know that I can come here during the holiday season and avoid all that feel good crap.
So is Purina going to be exploiting that Arkansas dog-food niche?
Sadly, I think the folks at Underwood Tinned Meats have that concession locked down.
Well, whatever you want to say about Arkansas and I have a feeling you’ve got lots to say, they did have Beaker Street, which played some great music.
I’m not sure what amuses me about Vlad, the fact that he is the master of everything or that he owns a Lab.
Well, it’s that little touch of humanity that throws you off. It’s like every time I remember that Putin is somebody’s granddad it blows my mind for a second.
I didn’t know about Beaker Street, but I must admit I have a fondness for Arkansas, not least because my holler-dwellin’ American progenitors crawled forth from that primordial ooze (in fact, there’s a town right across the border in the Missouri Ozarks that bears my mom’s maiden name). I just very much enjoy making fun of things.
Beaker Street was for me at least a bit of saneness from radio’s inaneness.
Never been to Arkansas or for that matter too many places in the South. During my hitchhiking days I feared my Yankee accent might cause me trouble. I would really love to visit now though.
Speaking of Missouri Ozarks – have your read any Daniel Woodrell? I’ve only read Winter’s Bone
but liked it quite a bit and should really read more.
Beaker Street was for me at least a bit of saneness from radio’s inaneness.
What a lovely turn of phrase. I don’t listen to the radio, except ball games, because it’s so much crap. I was in a diner yesterday with my family in another county, and they played all oldies & doo-wop. I loved that.
Re: Woodrell–yes, I’ve read a couple of his books (and when I say “read,” in this instance, I mean “listened to”). “Winter’s Bone” was surprisingly good, and I also read something called “The Bayou Trilogy,” which are three hard-boiled novellas set in a fictional (as I recall) Louisiana Parish.
I’ll check out The Bayou Trilogy – thanks.
I do love the sound of “hard-boiled novellas” – brings to mind Dashiell Hammett.
The comparison to Hammett seems appropriate. I’ve read (again, “heard”) “The Maltese Falcoln,” and there are certainly thematic similarities. Another similarity: both TMF and TBT are fairly intelligent works which are altogether unconcerned with appearing intelligent.
I’ve only read his Red Harvest, which I thought was great. I don’t think I’ve read another writer who wrote such fabulously lean prose.
“…fairly intelligent works which are altogether unconcerned with appearing intelligent.”
Perfect.
“Bird parents puke down their kids’ throats. Try topping that.”—Alicia Silverstone came close when she posted a video of herself passing her chewed food to her toddler’s mouth. Guess she doesn’t know that’s one of the best ways to pass cavity-causing bacteria from mother to child. Plus, it’s just plain gross.
As for that testicle thing? Best reason to not sleep naked as far as I can tell.
Like a pair of tighty-whiteys is gonna deter a testicle-crazed hound from going about his business.
I wasn’t aware that cavity-causing bacteria could be spread through chewed food, although it makes sense. But I have to think kids’ teeth are weak anyway. My mom took excellent care of my teeth when I was a toddler, but despite her efforts, I lost every single one of them. True story.
Ba da bing!
“B” material has its place. Don’t pretend otherwise.
You don’t need to tell a fan of Dumb & Dumber that…
Damn, Carrie beat me to the Alicia Silverstone bit! I couldn’t remember if it was her or Reese Witherspoon that pulled that stomach-turning stunt.
Putin—the man’s main public concern for getting Russia’s GPS up and running was to be able to track his dog. I wonder if he was leaving toys on the streets for unsuspecting passers-by….
There is so much to love about this post! The man who got his testicle eaten by a dog! Holy Shit. That was a freaky ass story to find…(and the dog lost his head) ??
I can’t say this enough to you Smakola – you are damn funny.
Mmm- lamb fries! Only that wasn’t a sheep nut. And it’s a dog eating it. I guess if it’s that easy to lose one’s balls in the deep South, then we shouldn’t even question missing teeth. However-
If you have ever experienced a Southern drink sensation they call “apple pie” then it’s perfectly understandable how one of the redneck persuasion could wake up to his dog chowing down on his testicle.
Makes “the dog ate my homework” pale by comparison.
