Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Thursday, August 5, 2010. Or, Yet More of the Random Crap Which Infests My Brain. Or, Even I Can Be Surprised. Or, Obsessiveness is My Least Attractive Feature. So I'm tooling around the Intarwebs the other day, as I am wont to do, when I run across Covered Up. A specific form of. Older Than They Think. Wits and a sharpened sti- HEY, YOU KIDS, GET OFFA MY LAWN! Mostly my reaction was summed up by this online exchange (and others). Eh, kids today.". Aware of my own.

Secret Mountain Laboratory: April 2011
http://secretmountainlaboratory.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Sunday, April 24, 2011. So I decided to check out Richmond (VA)'s "Easter on Parade" since it was a nice Spring day and I had nothing better to do. This is an annual tradition wherein the city cordons off a few blocks of Monument Avenue. And allows the locals to strut their stuff. The crowds were ENORMOUS. But no one needed to break out the loaves and fishes. Because there were plenty of concession stands offering. Should anyone be hungry, there was funnel cake.

What's in that stuff, moldy sourdough bread soaked in kerosene? It was early evening and we were in the basement, surrounded by several vats of fermenting mash, most of them bubbling and roiling like some kind of turbo-charged witch's brew. And other petroleum distillates. Let's not leave anything out.". So where do we stand? Nothin...

Secret Mountain Laboratory: December 2013
http://secretmountainlaboratory.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. My 2013 (Fantasy) Christmas List. Well, another year has come and gone during which I have been really good. Exceptionally good. Amazingly, outstandingly good. Not by choice, mind you, for at my age (and income level) the opportunities for being truly bad are few and far between, but we must judge people by their actions and not their intentions, right? Oh, sweet Crom, I hope so. The Noodle Incident doesn't count. Anyway, the list. The p...

Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Saturday, November 10, 2012. Chapter Six of My 2012 NaNoWriMo Attempt. Oh, sweet Jeebus, "Magic Carpet Ride" as interpreted by the entire membership of the International Plumbers' Union while drunk. And on acid. In the midst of an epileptic seizure. I nearly fell out of bed from the godawful noise. Why hadn't giant glowing beach towel Elvis protected me? And who the hell was messing with the pipes? And worse, why did my bedside alarm clock say eight a. m? A new day...

Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Monday, November 12, 2012. Chapter Eight of My 2012 NaNovWriMo Attempt. Ron shouted as he came down the stairs, clutching a plastic bag and big red cup of something. I shouted back, startled. "You scared me! What time is it? I'm not sure. Late. And sorry, that wasn't my intention." Ron was slurring ever so slightly. You went across the street, didn't you? I did, I did. That's a hell of a crew over there, y'know? Plenty of booze but not a lot of women.". With a slig...

Trapped On The Planet Of Hairless Apes. Sunday, May 29, 2011. So my friend Annerky (remember Annerky? I wrote a haiku. About Annerky) threw herself a birthday party at Babes of Carytown. Hijinks ensued (click to embiggen):. The first to arrive (Annerky is in blue). Soon to be a birthday tradition. Flowers provided by Sarah J. On the dance floor. Why, yes, as a matter of fact, it IS my birthday! OMG, I'm THIRTY-FOUR! But the vast array of beauteous babes will distract me from my age.". Links to this post.

I'm no Truman Capote and there will be no tales tonight of dotty aunts, illicit liquor, fruitcake-making, nor presents exchanged by those who had nothing to give. This is a story, a brief one, about Mom, Dad, and Jimi Hendrix.
