going there

threw in some lines today about the accused van driver mentioned in the last blog. "i got to say this about him; he was always on time. he was a genius with the turn signals, and he was a very safe driver. he always got you there. i just hope they take that into consideration." i then immediately lapsed into an angry rednecked response. " ahh, you can't joke about a thing like this, you oughta be ashamed of yourself." i got a nervous laugh, and a quick change of the subject.

"i've always dug playboy, gent, dude, all the stroke mags. you know why i buy them? i like to look at the chicks man! i don't need a nelson algren short story for rationalization."

"the main attraction in vegas? tits and ass." "ah man, that can't be all." "well, they throw in a tango dancer for rationalization, but basically, it's tits and ass."

" i can't believe this guy became a child molester. he had such a religious upbringing." "they all do. and now, he's gonna have to pay the dues for it."

carver showed a picture of a soldier from ww1 with his face blown off. this set him off again. "this still happens to soldiers now, but we don't support them." hey, look buddy, i didn't send this guy half way around the world to get his face blown off, so don't get pissed at me. besides, if you are so against faces being blown off, shouldn't you be anti-war, not supportive of those fighting them? as a student said in the class "nobody forced them to go, they signed up."

support the troops? you know what i say?

fuck the troops. i'd give a pimp a medal before i gave one to a soldier.

well, what's worse, sex or war?

my dad met manny ramirez yesterday. manny was sampling free food at a whole foods yesterday, when my dad went up to him and said "i just want to shake your hand" manny shook his hand, and then gave my dad a hug! dad said it was up there with speaking with jackie wilson in his dressing room at pep's in philly, talking to roland kirk at a table, also at pep's, and meeting david "fathead" newman after newman blew a bad set in boston several years back, when pinko was still in beantown. dad said that manny's vibe was awesome, very relaxed, gentle. manny and father of fielding; a couple of good dudes.
