WHEN I WAS A RACE CAR DRIVER

Jeez, I only managed three in the last week. Inexcusable. I prostrate myself before you, dear readers.

WHEN I WAS A RACE CAR DRIVER
When I was a race car driver, I used to keep a pumpkin on the seat next to me. It's heaviness and steadiness and purple orange rich insideness was always a comfort to me. But then it started to speak. It grew a mouth that was always fixed in a cruel grimace, and beady little eyes. It taunted me with all my most intimate doubts and fears. I almost crashed several times punching it and screaming for it to shut up. I sure liked the damn thing better when it was inanimate. But superstition stopped me from simply throwing it out.

Bobby Darin - Long Line Rider (live on The Dean Martin Show)

Bobby Darin got killer records all throughout his career, including some funky stuff like this in the late 60s. The record of Long Line Rider is great, but the way the band are lighting in to this and Bobby's moves take it right into the stratosphere...

BLOOD TRANSFUSION
I got in a car wreck and I was laying in the back of the ambulance getting a blood transfusion. And the blood felt real good going into me, sweet life giving blood. What could be better. I was laying back just feeling it pump into, the waves of pleasure making me breathe heavy. Then I felt something change, the sensation was different. the fluid felt more viscous and tingly. I looked over and it was now chocolate mouse getting pumped straight into my veins. At first this was a little alarming, but it felt so good and sweet and creamy I didn't want it to stop. "Yo, EMT", I hollered, "crush some cookies up into that shit."

I HAVE BEEN SICK

My writing every morning project has had more gaps than I would like lately. I have been sick and when not sick living the kind of active life that will get me sick again soon enough if I don't eat enough broccoli. But there been some good ones!

I HAVE BEEN SICK
I have been sick. My apologies for not writing for this last few days. I assume you all went so mad with worry, frustration and boredom that you cracked your heads open with a dessert spoon and scooped the brains right out, shovelling them into your mouth with the last remaining motor faculty you had available, but cruelly unable to taste once they reached your tongue. So there you were, slumped on the breakfast table, spoon and brains hanging out of your mouth, dying an ignoble death, and it's all my fault. And I suppose that now all you readers are dead, this entry is only for my amusement. What shall I write about then? Gobbledegook I suppose. La la la, I was skipping through the grass one day, great purple tentacles emerged from the dirt and rubbed my nipples. It felt awful fancy like and I grinned and showed my fangs. As butterflies fluttered by I bit them, tearing great chunks of wing off and letting it dissolve on my tongue like a communion wafer. Oh my, what an innocent, tender, ineluctable taste it was.
