Well we're on the eve of GRGR(4), and I'm afraid I'm pissing in the
wind. Everyone's gotten all steamed, picked up their balls, and gone
home. I'm hoping that's good news for me. That should leave nothing but
Fascist Chicks with whom to discuss this section, and we all know what
Fascist Chicks wear don't we now? Sorry. I thought using my real name
would encourage me to behave, but it's not working. Anyway. I was going
to prepare tonight, but forgot I was going to see our other Tom (Waits)
at the Wiltern. You all can watch him on VH1 tonight at 10pm PTSD. Check
your loco listings. So, I'll get up early tomorrow morning and get this
thing oiled and greased. I figure maybe we'll take week one and go
through the text chronologically 4-5 pages at a time. Then, during week
two we can step back and look at the bigger picture. I really like this
section. (Apologies if that kind of Post-Modem lingo is over your heads.
I'll define my terms as I go. 'like' = dig, enjoy, find bitchin.')
Everything from Kenosha Kidding to Sloth Descending on the Day of
Sacrificial Ascending to Bird Squawking to Olive Thigh Stroking to Grimm
Reaping to Ned Scheming to Olive Thigh Stroking to Brigadier Pudding to
Vanya Conditioning to Senile Briefing to Psychillogical Testing. And
such a splash of color with dialectible duality galore. So, set your VCR
on VH1 for 10 pm, and study hard. I pray the prematurely prodigal
return. No fatted calves, but we've got olive thighs I tell you OLIVE
thighs. And a rack of Laredo lamb for those so inclined. Come on/Come
on/Come on/DO the KEnoSHAkid with us mon-DAY.  

Sincerely,

Lt. Keith S.Z. McMullen, C.F.O.S.
