It's seldom
that the very things we fear
are the reason
behind us falling to our knees.
It is more likely to be the reason,
for why we do not see
the real threats to our hearts and souls.
Do not chase the goal
for the reason of the prize,
but savour the journey
and remember the trials.

Kitty Toast

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

It seems so logic. Yet it keeps going around and around and around and around in my little head. WHY?

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family

HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

What about you?

I guess in the 50's this kind of PR would be considered cheerful? But why are they reprinting and hanging them in the East London Line? Does it have anything to do with the new gay pub in my area?

Big Bang

Conversation had in Edinburgh with an English girl discussing the differences between men and women (Venus and Mars):

Me: "What Planet are we on?"
Girl: "Mars!"

(Pause)

Girl: "I was born on bonfire night! So I'm used to fireworks! I love big bangs!"

Are you sure it's not Venus then?

Ridden

Ridden with angst
Under my skin – my flesh
The prickling sensation of fear
Unknown source
Unknown reason
Unknown to a world

The true cold fact
Of a reality - long gone
Beyond the cliffs of reason
Of sole facts
Handling this
I’m handling this

Surface for air
Like a fleeing whale
The spear already torn
Through the flesh
The skin – the angst
Ridden with chill

Am I handling this?
Or is it handling me?
Pull the spear
Make it known
The reason for pain
Riding my soul

Don't worry if you don't get it - that's the point - if there was one...

Two mice in a bath tub.
One mouse politely asked the other: "Would you mind handing me the soap?"
To which it got the reply: "What do I look like to you? A bloody typewriter?!"

Two cows on a hill.
One tripped and fell, rolling all the way down the hill. It got up and expressed: "Mooooh!!!!"
The second cow promptly commmented: "Damn you! That's what I wanted to say!"

Two balloons in a dessert.
One balloon noted to the other: "How about them Sox?"
The other, slightly startled: "What cactussssssss?"

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers. What will become of them?
This world is truly coming to an end.
