anybody else saw a huge sax one night on Saturday night live, i mean their
sax man used to play a big bass sax, but this thing was  bigger than him,
like an octuple bass...never saw it again...nobody believes me...) -- jazz
or classical?

Love the sax!

thinking about Horatius Bonar always does that to me...

though he actually wrote some pretty good hymns (which is where i learned
his name - in the hymnal)
and was a very popular theologian, there are certain words and phrases
guaranteed to raise a smile: "basement toilet flushes up" - "flying
buttress" - "horatius bonar"

he looks kind of like one of Slothrop's ancestors might look, in fact:

so, like the generations of Slothrops, there could be generations of
Bonars...

(and thousands currently living in the us of a:

perhaps infant Tyrone has a Horatius Bonar [somewhere in his family tree]

no offense intended to any Bonars anywhere / they may feel free to indulge
in innocent laughter on any recontextualization of my name that pleases
them (as if people don't anyway...)
