THE NEW EXCUSE

I was a-smokin' outside today, enjoying beautiful weather, when a scrawny bearded white guy stumbled by, guitar case in one hand, cane in the other. There was a black security guard from my building behind him, obviously hastening his removal from the premises.

He made a turn towards me, as if to engage me for a cig, or assistance with his tormentor, and she yelled "UH-UH-UH! You keep moving, straight where you came from!"

"Where do you want me to go?!?" he yelled at her. "I cain't go back to New Orleans!"

"New Orleans?" she said. "Kiss my ass."

He ambled off, and she sat down next to me. "Every damn bum outta that bus station claims they're from New Orleans now. Assholes."

I could do naught but agree.

You're becoming boring.

Becoming boring? Hell, Rob, I've been so boring I can't stand to come here myself.

Gotta keep some content up so I can extract some value when I raffle this site off.

But if I devolve to Gunsmoke blogging, shoot me.

saw a guy in a wisconsin chat room begging people for some adderol by saying he lost his in NO and he can't get a new script.

And I find you very exciting!

I was thinking about going the opposite direction, to New Orleans. Drive over that way, ditch my car, show up at some shelter, pretend to have amnesia . . . start a whole new life . . . take THAT, SC Student Loan Corporation!

That I like, kc. As I told flynny, a score or so bloggers would probably be the only voters in the Easy. We could be like, czars.

Disaster. Relief.

The place is a wreck. Seems suitable to me.

Well since you left a comment at my place a while back...about that whole "quitting smoking" thing...just thought I should tell you...I started back...it seems I can't drink beer without smoking and I just don't see the beer thing going away just yet...

Anyhoo....I sure don't envy ya'll for having to go through this mess...
