A Static Charge
"How many guys do (we) know?..." PistolPete, your story is not unique. I've noticed that a lot of guys like you tend to rely on tales of "early smarts" to mitigate the mess they've made of their lives later on. Since you have written out for all of us the rest of your curriculum vitae: *in prison for armed robbery *likes to hang out with people who have committed murder, that *an ignorant racist *thinks anarchic and vigilante violence is the solution to everything ...Clearly, whatever you did as a little boy is no longer relevant to the person you've become. PS: Fred's point was not that dishwashers are all uneducated. Fred is educated, and it sounds anyway like he also once worked as a dishwasher.— July 30, 2009 12:05 p.m.

Well refried, is it still "wonderfully non sequitur?" For the record, I'm sure you can cook :)— July 29, 2009 9:17 p.m.
Tijuana, My Kind of Town
What do you suppose was in the suitcases he so eagerly wanted to get to the ocean?— July 28, 2009 8:17 p.m.
Sun Cafe love story
You made her feel like multiple women? :) If you truly have a love that will go on to the next life, I certainly hope you are able to find her again in this one. Good luck!— July 28, 2009 7:43 p.m.
The Wizard Of Popotla
"Apparently, he's rediscovered Jesus, Alcoholics Anonymous, and many of his high school friends." Wow! Not a good trinity! Is he going around 'apologizing' to everyone he ever knew? I find it so piggish that AA-ers really think the rest of us are so keen on facilitating their little process. The word "granfalloon" would have been funnier if Vonnegut had not thought it up to rhyme with "balloon." But I guess that's the point--performative of Bokonon just making stuff up. Gringo, try to slow down a little--it's the lack of fixed schedule that is encouraging this. Just sip on your beer, and put the tequila on the shelf. We don't want your liver going too. Pound the water instead!— July 28, 2009 10:50 a.m.
The Wizard Of Popotla
Belushi: "Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger! No Pepsi--Coke!" Synchronicity? What would Vonnegut say? This guy is in your karass?— July 28, 2009 1:41 a.m.
The Wizard Of Popotla
You could wear one of Michael Jackson's jackets--I hear they weighed as much as Liberace's. Just watch out for sparks when you're working on the electricity--and try to resist any deals with the Pepsi Co.— July 27, 2009 11:44 p.m.
The Wait
Ok, we'll stay tuned. Maybe I'll learn something :)— July 27, 2009 1:29 p.m.
The Wait
...And there is something special about those smiling faces glowing from the front seat :) Well, I admit to knowing nothing about cars, but the suspense gives way to a happy ending. Mrs. Tiki got a ride around the neighborhood--and cheesecake :) Good work, Joe!— July 27, 2009 2:47 a.m.

"Diegonomics, are you trying to publish a novel, comment by comment? What gives with the abstract stuff?" by Barbarella Your journalistic credentials might have provided you the hint, diegonomics.— July 27, 2009 12:12 a.m.
