    Jack's Rules of the Road

    Back story:  Around the time Jerry Cimino was founding the Beat Museum, I was urging him to go beyond a simple non-profit and found a church, arguing that when you live in a Christian theocracy, it pays to be a Christian Church.

    Just then, I had a dream which I promptly reported to Jerry.  In it, he and I were with the scarecrow, the tin man and the lion before the Wizard of Oz.  After finishing with the first three, the wizard turns to me and says "You have the heart and soul of a post-modern pimp. But every pimp needs a big hat and a long coat--here they are.", and he hands me the cited regalia.

    Then he turns to Jerry and says "You have the heart and soul of a post modern prophet--but every prophet needs a miraculous revelation.  Watch for yours, it will come to you in the mail shortly"

    Well, what can I say?  Not two days later, Jerry gets the following miraculous revelation by email from one [email protected]:

     

     

    The Five Revealed Rules of the Road
    (heyjerrydigthis)

    I ran into Calliope last night, the old pus-ridden hag,
    And while I tied her off
    She sang The Apollonian Christ
    Whose messenger and muse she is.

    And while she poked around to find a vein,
    She sang you My Receiver,
    She said you had the hands and moves—(go figure!)
    She said you'd never drop the ball.

    And just before the speedball hit,
    She sang to me these rules:

    Move quicker
    Think faster
    Love sooner
    Be truer
    Watch out for each other, especially the kids..

    So there you have it Jer-
    (I see what I like and I like what I see.)
    Go teach transformative declamation
    The mantric force of poetry, the power of the blues
    Teach Christos Apollonari (Translation, courtesy Jack Hirschman)


    Go long, brotherman, go long.
    I'll meet you in the end zone
    and we'll flare one there together.

    Kerouac attended Columbia on a football scholarship, which explains the otherwise arcane references to end zones, etc.


    I'll be back. Me and C are the only ones here....since you showed up. hahahah

    I mean I have till Christmas to respond! hahahahahahahahaahah

    By the way, you ever them say: The M Zone?

    What the hell does M stand for?

    In a lighter vein; so to speak:

     

    Of course Bills Hicks would scream discrimination:

     

     


    Why can't I get the youtoobz to come up with the new media protocol?  I remember Genghis went through some rap about the embed code, and I try that, and all I get is a lousy little square, not the actual media thing.

    also.

    I don't know the answers to the other questions you raise, but if I can scare up the appropriate exogenous neurtransmitter modifiers, I'll have a crack at them...


    BECAUSE I AM GOD! hahahahah

    Hit 'share' then embed then copy code.

    My hicks did not work so I guess I aint god. hahahaha

    I guess Hicks did work. hahahahaahahahahah

    What do I know?


    Hey!  That guy has the hat and coat that I got from the Wizard in the dream, how 'bout that?
