i forgot that porsche and i will be accompanying her younger brother and his girlfriend, for trick-or-treating tonight, in springfield. jordan and kyra will be tarzan and jane; porsche and i will both be the bearded lady. i will be drunk. i will be very drunk.
in a lot of ways i am a big kid, but halloween is just not my forte. i think that trick or treaters, past a certain age, are kind of annoying.
a final random note. wine turns my poop dark, and my bm's a degree less satisfying. is that everyone elses experience, or something i should get checked out?
discuss.

halloween supplemental
do you know what really hacks me off, like really badly? people who don't like herbert the pervert, the old man pedophile character on family guy. its your right not to like him, but i don't want to be breathing the same air as you people who are offended by that character. holy jesus christ. let me quote some dork from the internet, dear god gimme the strength:
I didn't find OB1 being a child molester terribly humurous. As I said I don't like that character to begin with. I don't have many lines, but that is one of those lines.
and someone rebutting him later:
The character works fine for me because he seems so, well, impotent. He's too pathetic to be threatening.
so first off, i can't imagine a better proof of god's existence and benevolence, that family guy managed to do this to the above poster. they took the pedophile this guy is all creeped by, and cast him as the guy's favorite character in their star wars episode. that is fucking awesome.
second off, why does the pedophile character have to be impotent for him to be ok? i think it would be funnier if he was a little more able. but then that illustrates the comedy chasm that forms between me and the first poster. as does this other comment, which is where i just stop listening to people:
Hahahah, that is purely me being tired of McFarlane's over playing of jokes. It would have been funny but he always takes things 5 or 6 seconds to far. the scraping his knee scene is a prime example of that. A funny scene for the first 4 seconds, 10 seconds later...
for the record, peter scraping his knee is pure genius based on the timing alone. the timing (and the fact that he captured every memory ive ever had of scraping my knee, captured that experience in a vital way) fucking makes the joke. it WAS a funny scene for the first 4 seconds, 10 seconds later? STILL FUCKING FUNNY. FUNNIER.
i pray to god this guy doesn't have a neilsen box. although that would explain a lot of things.
you either get this shit or you don't, and if you don't, i really don't have time for you.

no time for love, doctor jones! the universe is calling, keeping me from my transcription business. idle hands are the duvet's ploy-thing you know. that guy is a creep.
but, i had to tell you, there are great things going on in comics right now! your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find a copy of one of these fine young fellows:
-Maggots by Brian Chippendale. its a little dense book with a ton of little, tiny panels on each page. the art is fierce and fast, fluid yet dense. god, all the work this must have taken. apparently the publishing of maggots was postponed by nearly a decade, i'm so very grateful that it finally came out. whats the coolest thing about maggots? the whole thing was drawn on pages of a japanese book catalog and you can clearly see this in the white-spaces of the work. the second-coolest thing? cameo appearance of MOTHERFUCKING HENRY DARGER ARTWORK on the back inside cover, under the dust-jacket. henry darger, the mither-effing man.
-Kramer's Ergot #6 (i would bet that the back issues are good, but what i got my filthy paws on is #6). this book is big and colorful and high-quality. kramer's ergot is what an acid trip would be like if it were a comic book instead of an acid trip. i like the ad-copy on the back, from time.com, that describes it as a jawbreaker for your eyes. or something like that. awesome. i want back issues of this but they're probably worth like a jillion dollars, this #6 is so cool.
not to gloss over the other stuff i got at star clipper last weekend--jeffry brown and 'the cute manifesto' and aranzi machine gun are cool and all. they just don't bust my head wide open like maggots or kramers ergot. this shit is the shit. i am SO INSPIRED by these two books right now. they make me want to just start crayoning all over my work-space until i'm forcibly removed from the hospital.
and then i jizzed all over the place! the end.

natural cures i dont want you to know about
i dont have much to add in the last couple of days. ive been cutting book pages into fours and then re-arranging the pieces to make new pages.
half of our dog is a bright green apple-sort-of color today, owing to a pan of house-paint being left down in our kitchen this morning.
on the 26th of this month i'll be 25. next year on october 26, i will be 26--its the one time in my life that i'll be 26 on a 26th. i like it when numbers line up but in general i stay away from numbers, since math is a big con game parlor trick. 0 is 1 is 1,000, all depending on the view.
but here is a quick top 5 list, things i'd like for my birthday.
1. glenmorangie 10 yr old single malt scotch whisky
2. comics or graphic novels (any and all selections are appropriate)
3. magic cards, preferably booster packs, preferably a box of lorwyn boosters(if you have the scratch for it)
4. art instruction books (any and all selections are appropriate)
5. glassware (i keep breaking my beer and whisky glasses!)
