  • Heroes

    I don't know what a hero is, and I sure as hell don't think I know enough of what I don't know to know multiple heroes.
    Unless we're chatting about the David Bowie song. Then, that is something else entirely. But I prefer other Bowie songs. Absolute Beginners, Velvet Goldmine, Suffragette City...am I getting away from the point? I am. But I think that was the original point, anyway.

Blurbs

About me:

  • I'm this tall.

  • I have all my hair. In fact I have TREMENDOUS hair. Whatever you think of my hair, I think more of it.

  • I have a burning desire to know how it feels to be stood up by Siamese Twins

  • I have that sense of humor thing that all the women's magazines say women want in a man (oh, he's hideous to look at, but he is HIL-arious).

  • I don't have to worry about going bald. Tall, funny, great hair, kind, humble (the most humble); apparently the women's magazines are all lying.

  • I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

  • I authored the 73-volume encyclopedia of "How to Finish College in More Than Six Years with Your Dignity Intact".

  • I can prove my work on another sheet of paper, but won't.

  • Strangers refer to me by name.

  • I like saying trousers.

  • My socks tend to have a private life of their own, which I do not bother them about.

  • I used to think a garter snake was something dirtier.

  • I cannot tie my shoes, but I can tie the laces that go with them.

  • None of my beach towels have ever been to the beach - that I know of.

  • I like to drive; it is much better than sitting in the car and not moving.

  • When I was younger I received a metal ruler across the knuckles when I asked Sister Mary Carrita why she was referred to as, 'nun' and not 'vacant'.

  • I sing 'Christmas' songs in summer.

  • I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories...at least the popular theories.

  • I have grammar issues, and stuff.

  • I once saved a man's life, then thought less of it.

  • I am an extravagant vocalist, if by 'extravagant' we agree to mean 'horrible'.

  • I financed a small revolution that I let get away - long story short; I have a huge student loan bill.

  • I have not been on a first date in nine years (not that I understand what a 'date' is).

Who I'd like to meet:

The bastard who thought that connecting international flights with a domestic flight from Houston to Greenville was a good idea. Who the hell flies from Monterey, Mexico and then to Greenville, SC?
As far as women? My second wife; Carrie Fisher, my third wife; Laura Kightlinger, my fourth wife; Lauren Graham.

I’m not sure who my first wife is, but it would probably be someone that bosses me around. I need that.

With that in mind there would probably not be a string of numbered wives. Monogamy - that shit is hardcore. But it doesn’t mean I do not want to meet the women listed.

I would like to meet Bill Hicks, Phil Hartman, Jack Paar, Jimmy James (the man so nice, they named him twice), Ben Katz, I.M Fletcher, Daniel Pecan Cambridge, Reuven Malther, Danny Saunders and Holden Caulfield. Might as well be in that order. But they can go ahead and line up according to height, age and availability.
