Worst. McDonalds. Ever
At least four errors committed by the serving staff in the three minutes I was standing there waiting for my delicious, nutritious Double Cheeseburger and 6-Piece McNuggets for the bargain bottom price of $7.92. Airport pricing is bullshit.
These errors included:
- Mistaking an "apple juice" order for an "apple pie." (Though why the woman who ordered didn't just point to the apple juice is a wonder to me. Wasn't she curious as to why her apple juice was taking so long? Did she think they were fresh-squeezing it?)
- Mistaking a "double cheeseburger" ordered for "two McDoubles." (2... = 2.... except when it equals 4? THERE'S TOO MANY PATTIES!)
- Reading the order # "35" as "Three-Oh-Five." Loudly. Over and over again. Louder and louder. Shouting into the airport concourse. And then getting huffy when a gentleman walks over, from right next to the counter, to claim order number "thirty-five." (Though, again, why he didn't jump in sooner to inquire instead of letting them yell into the ether is beyond me.)
Show Me Your Moves!
Hey there whoah there who you think you are huh pussy-face?
You know what I got planned I got a long night banging ladies;
Throwing bills around like a sultan so you better get out of my way mister---

Tons of trim and I've got no time for little prim posies to slaughter.
So get on out of here shoo fly don't piss me off or else---
What? What did you say to me quit dancing around and I'll show you.
Let's dance okay you like to dance I can dance shit I need the practice;
For tonight you know oh yea you know take this!

Smile Through The Pain, Kids!
Judy: Sure haven't, what's that!
Alexander: Well, Judy...with the invention of many of our fine electric appliances, modern engineering and sociology have combined into a utterly stupid examination of how our mechanical and industrial masturbation can be used to simplify and automate many of the daily chores that we used to consider the definition of character in industrial human civilization.
Judy: But Alex, won't that displace hundreds of thousands of jobs requiring skilled labor in the national workforce?
Alexander: Ha, well of course Judy! But thankfully, those jobs are all held by Negros, Orientals, and the more undesirable European immigrants. We swell, white, upper-class Americans with our double-standards and casual disregard of reality risk only the promise of easier living and the degradation of motherhood over the value of good, hard labor; none of which we do!
Judy: That all sounds dandy, Alex, but I can't say I understood any of it.
Alexander: Naturally, Judy, because you're a woman. Your smaller, weaker mind is too busy worrying about what's in the oven and how fertile and attractive you are. I, on the other hand, benefit from innumerable male-focused advantages our culture affords me, at the small cost of my soul and any critical thinking skills! That allows me to wander aimlessly into made up professions, like Time Study for example, to squander my years of steady and extravagant income in the pursuit of alcoholism and sexual repression.
Judy: I don't mean to seem like a tart, Alex, but you would be interested in heading to the dance with me? You could suggest going steady and then grope me against my will in that shiny new Cadillac of yours!
Alexander: Judy, you had me at "tart." But unfortunately I've got to run upstairs and give your big brother the fucking of his lifetime! If you hear his soft whimpers later on, don't be alarmed. It just means I decided to finish in his throat and then break his stupid nose.
Judy: That's a Strawberry Shortcake, isn't it?
Alexander: Oh, Judy! I would shut that smart mouth of yours unless you want to be deemed a lesbian and lynched!
Judy: Okay!

Wasted Days, Dreamless Nights
Jacob's Ladder
Cap'n Firebeard at'chor service, me hearties! And how can a gentle man borne as me be worthy to such a fine crew? A story!? A tale uh some weathered sea dog to whet'chor Southern lust! So be it.
Sit thee down and listen well...
There was I, four feet to danglin' from the hempen halter! The hangman, a salty one-eyed son of a bitch, grinnin' gold and ready to brand me into Davy Jone's eternal service was all twas keepin' me neck from straightenin' out sum'pin fierce. Yars truly was starin' into the frothy yawns of a world about to pass, no schemes to spare. It was the end, lovelies!
The bastard's seaweed lips parted and sum'pin came stinkin' up. "Let's see ya hoist that rag now, pirate-slime!" he belched. Oh, I was done in! One off! So many songs unsung! Do ya hear it, chil'ren? The final desp'rit gasps uh yar beloved hero!? Ya're not alone, lil' lubbers.
Hornswaggled by Death 'imself, I cast off a final prayer...a bargain to whatever gods would take and warrant my pitiful soul!
"Spare yar humble servant!" I bellowed, "AND ALL ON MY ACCOUNT BE YOURS!" Sum'pin greater than we must've been listenin' that day, my babbies! Must've known all I'd stashed away in me years of freebootin' and plunder! 'Cause not a moment 'fore I was to come tumblin' back to the maker than did a 'orrible gust rise from the tidewaters. A gale blustered me would-be murd'rur off the gallows and he was dashed upon the rocks; his neck and not mine snapped on that sacrificial platter! The same magic wind sliced me free uh me grim collar, and sooner than you could seal a hogshead were I back with me duffle, jaw full'a steel and climbing that long ladder to me vessel and the oceans uh freedom beyond!
Since then, young lads, I hammer the drums uh thanks to that phantom in the winds. I beat on, bless'd immortal by sum'pin wit no name. And if ya listen good, ears high to the whistlin' dark, you just may hear me gamble repeated.
...And all on my account be yours...

Becoming
Then he noticed the dead clumps of hair that had come off along with the device and the moment was spoiled. Then they were burning, in his mind and on the desk. With a controlled fit he extinguished his rage and waited as the ribbons of stinking smoke dissipated. Although visibly vanished, the matter that once was a part of the organism Dorn Ricker, something of them was hovering. Dorn recognized this remnant after a moment of study and reacted as swiftly as he had before. He removed the atmosphere from his office with a ear-shattering howl.
Much better, he thought.
This minor holocaust reminded him of his efforts upon the demons in the caves. Oh, the mental gymnastics employed to make them turn upon the hiveminders! The irony of uniting broken minds in unity against an entity that sought the very same! His earlier pleasures regained, Dorn searched to enjoy this moment more thoroughly and removed the gravity.
Sweet weightlessness...his blood flowed in steady bursts with a heart long robbed of unconscious function; it was in Dorn's control now, like as nearly everything else. And, in time, just everything.
He was above his desk, floating near the ceiling in peaceful reflection. These breaks were still necessary, but less so than in cycles past when all of this was first set into motion. Total Awareness is exhausting, he thought, upside-down three feet in the air. I deserve this.
But then the Earth-lights caught his tiny eye and the halos of fuzzy light upset him so he shut them off. He vanquished all light in his office and wallowed in its absence. Back, he thought, back back back. Dorn spun himself in such a way that the top of his head became the centrifugal focus. He was rotating upon his enormous mind, the room around him; the ship, the stars, etc. And with things just the way they would be, Dorn was very happy.
He would not need reading or even the promise of writing. His Amplifier was just a crutch, part of the rehabilitation for his changed mind. His work now required no deciphering of exterior minds or cramping them under the will of his own. Dorn needed only feel what things become, and that would make them so.
"Great-Father, praises be." A grin showed.
"Ha-ha ha! And blessings in the red sun see!"
His hysterical laughter set Dorn spinning faster and faster. The blackness created began to swirl and spill into the whirlpool of glee. Light bled in.
He heard a strange pop but hesitated, too enthralled to prematurely cancel his joy. Instead he succumbed to it. He savored it like a fine orgasm. He let himself last there, a mutated and fleshy simulacrum of all black holes, his pleasure forever corralled in his own event horizon. Dorn ignored the seeping light for his own indulgence.
And it was all the time they needed.

I Have A Flask...
I have a flask and it is never full.
I have a flask, but I keep it hidden when the company comes snooping or ladies are about.
I have a flask that says, "Forget the past and the women and the phantom failures."
I have a flask and it is my flask and it is my life.
I have a flask. Not a jug or a glass. I don't need to spell things out for my flask.
I have a flask, and I think I should not have a flask.
I have a flask that says:

Goonch!
Ha-ha, just kidding. We don't need to do that again...but check this out:
This is our old pal Jeremy Wade with an Giant Indian Goonch Catfish.
It began like any other typical River Monsters episode.
Slowly.
Apparently, something was dragging dirt-poor Hindus under the water. Jeremy was there to play White Knight and catch the beast, ONLY TO LET IT FREE AGAIN.
That's right folks; after spending six weeks chasing an enormous breed of catfish in the middle of fucking nowhere, a catfish he learned was eating the half-cremated dead of the local village and reaching over 9 feet in length, after hooking one in the middle of a monsoon and jumping into the rapids and swimming downstream with his rod to grapple the leviathan back on land, he put it back.
"I'm not convinced this fish eats people (even though it definitely eats dead people). I'm not comfortable damning its character to satisfy legend. Let's toss him back, he's starting to wake up."
You were chomped on by Alligator Gar.
You were splattered with the newborn young of a 700lb. Stingray.
You were almost murdered by villagers who thought you were a bad omen.
Just mount these water gods and be done with it.
What do you think the primitive cultures remember you for? Solving a scientific mystery or PUTTING THE DEATH BACK YOU PUT THE DEATH BACK.
Look at what you thought deserved to live:
Jeremy Wade:
What the hell is wrong with you.

Hold On To Your Butts
"I Didn't Fail Them...I'm Not Afraid!"
You will be...
Mind and not bone
Has made the body weak;
It craves the otter's tone,
the lean physique.
Get your swell on.
Stir your precious soups.
And when they're gone,
My little dynamo,
I'll be your blood.
I'll be your blood.
Last one tomorrow.
I'm the best.
But will I finish what I began?

of horrible noxious delights at hand to torture you with
until time ends?

Tested
on the path to my first exam.
I am concerned.
Fuck the police...keep studying, Whofleck!
Our professor enters and hands out the work. After a cursory scan of the outline I begin to fill in the appropriate bubbles associated with intelligence. After a few minutes, Dr. Best Lecturer Ever speaks up:
"It's hot in here, right? Too stuffy. Would someone mind opening a couple windows and letting some fresh a-"
EVERYBODY GO STAND OUTSIDE NOTHING IS BURNING JUST DO IT
FIRE ALARM FIRE ALARM-
We march outside, most of us laughing out of surprised and soon-to-be defeated spirits. We stood there and got cold, scribbling like maniacs against the crawling loss of potential review. When we do eventually reenter the building, we have lost about half of our allotted time.
Our professor explains that ten minutes will be given at the beginning of Monday's class to finish the exam. For now, she says, keep going.
I keep going. I molest the multiple choice. I eradicate the true/false.
I rape two of five short-answer essays.
Time. Is. Up.
Excuse me, Dr. B.L.E., but would you be opposed to me bringing in my finished three short-answers and just tacking them onto my exam?
"YES."
I just don't feel like I could physically write the remaining answers in ten minutes, and we lost more than that outside.
"YOU CAN DO IT."
Okay.
FUCKING ISLAM!

"Honey! Where Are The Servants!?"
Nay I have done, you get no more of me;
And I am mad, yea, mad with all my heart,
That thus so poorly I myself can flee;
Shake fists for ever, cancel all our rants,
And when we meet in any hell again,
Be it not seen in either of our pants
That we one Lot of former love retain.
Now at the last gas of love's morning breath,
When his pulse flailing, passion shameless lies,
When faith is screaming by his bed of death,
And innocence is closing up his [something funnier than eyes],
-Now if thou would'st, when all have buried him under,
From love to hate thou might'st him tear asunder!
//mocked into meaningless gore
///open the door
////get on the floor
/////everybody walk the dinosaur
