Two Funny Things

But they are funny in different ways . . .

(a) Mairead Byrne on poetry and stand-up.

(b) Stupid singing Jean-Luc Picard thing.

Sweet Dreams

Night before last I dreamt I was a powerful witch and one of my powers was the ability to penetrate the minds of frat boys and make them feel deeply ashamed of themselves.

Last night I dreamt I was being asked to join Green Day. I also dreamt that local officials were trying to make me attend high school again, but I foiled them when I suddenly realized that I had already been to high school, college, and law school. I yelled, "I'm a lawyer! No one can ever make me go to high school now!" Then all the officials ran away.

Trying to write a preface to the drunken sailor poems. I've started referring to the drunken sailor as "the D.S."

I'm also having trouble with people who, rather than answer the questions put to them, appear to answer questions inside their own heads. For example, "Yes," is not responsive to a question like "Where should I put these boxes?"

My sister waved a flipflop at a house centipede on the ceiling yesterday and it fell off the ceiling onto the floor, at which point we both shrieked and ran away. She didn't even have shoes on. Ahh!

I heard Michael Kelleher read this poem on Sunday. I like it.

Last night I had a dream involving a high school friend's baby, getting a poem called "THORY" published in The Best Poetry Ever anthology, dancing the merengue, Kris Kristofferson, and being chased around Busch Gardens (Williamsburg)'s "Roman Rapids" water ride by an Aztec warrior who could change himself into a bear at will.

Pun?

"My knees and I have a standing argument."

Unintentionally Brilliant Language Snippet

"He used an abusive languish."

Bad Chinese Translation into English O' The Day

"It turned into a saliva war." (I think they meant "spitting contest.")

The internet has been installed! And there was much rejoicing. Now I can finally read Jimmy's blog.
