Looking good Umbra, my bathroom’s visitors salute you.  

Scored new in box at Trinity-Bellwood’s annual summer mega garage sale for a mere 7$.

Reefer Madness, LA Noire Style

Rockstar is going to be banking big if they keep releasing DLC levels based off of classic cult flicks. This Reefer Madness spoof clocks in at $3.99. That’s about half the price of a dime, and could be even more fun!

I hope the original cast of freaks and goons show up for cameos.

Put an ad on your cat! Top dollarz!

Sometimes I see a Craigslist Ad that can be re-written and made so much better. This one was originally posted “Put an ad on your car”.

It’s amazing the response any ad can get on Craigslist. I recommend you all try it out. Needless to say, this one was flagged fairly quickly.

Poetry Vault – Late For School

Another one of my ‘classics’ from the American Library series, written when I was 12.  The foreshadowing is really kind of ironic.  I really had no interest in rock shows or music at the time.  Weird Al was one of my only musical heros at the time, but I do remember learning the lyrics to Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” in English class.

 

I’m sorry Miss for being late.

My alarm clock was broken,

My mother slept in.

When I fell off my bed

And I hit my head

On the hard wooden floor

I realized it was ten past four.

So I hollered to my mother

But she didn’t care.

She didnt even give me a stare,

She said it’s all yuour fault

You went to that rock concert

Until three in the morning.

So I got dressed

And started to run

To my school

On the other side of town,

But then I saw

An open car door.

So I jumpd in

And pushed on the gas.

And that Miss

Is why

I’m eight hours and ten minutes late.

Poetry Vault – The Tiger

 

The Tiger

Jaws

Like razor blades

on the brink of extinction

stripes

blaze in the sun.

 

A poem I wrote when I was 12 that was compiled for the American Library in Paris, 1992.

Holy SHIP!

 

Diplo sure knows how to throw a party.  I especially like the use of my namesake in this one. That’s two brushes with the big D in a week.  Three times a charm?
