I realize that you can't see the bumper sticker on the car in the upper left corner here, but (1) I like pictures to accompany blog posts, and I'm only using pictures that I take or draw now, (2) I thought it was kind of a cool picture. I'm not sure why it has the warped effect . . . maybe my hand was in motion as I snapped it as I was at a stop light and had to take it quickly because the light had just changed . . . but I thought it looked pretty cool, and (3) um . . . maybe just the two, then. Anyway, the bumper sticker said,
Without engineers you'd be walking right now. Barefoot.
Which I thought was significantly cleverer than "My child is an honor roll student" or "My Yorky is smarter than your honor roll student child" or any of that kind of shit. Though not quite as cool as the bumper stickers on my car: "I express my individuality through mass-produced bumper stickers" and "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." The latter of which is the (relatively) well-known Noam Chomsky sentence . . . and is also, as I've just now discovered, the title of a song by a group (possibly a "group") by the name of Half-overnfaced. An interesting bit of John Cage-like piano work (or possibly "work," depending on how you feel about John Cage and others of like ilk). Available in its entirety on The You Tub.
Half-ovenfaced has some other interesting song titles as well:
"Lust by Shopping," "Stupidity Kills," "I Hate You and Your Frock," Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone's Den," "They Thought I Was Dead For a Full Minute." He ("he") might be full of shit, but it might be worth a few minutes's of listening time. At the very least, it will be more interesting that hearing "Love on the Brain."
Y'know.
Just sayin', sir.
