The American Dream
My great-grandfather was a blacksmith. He was a blacksmith so my grandfather could open a small supply company. My grandfather opened a small supply company so that my father could be an attorney. My father became an attorney so that I could become a poseur.
The air's pretty rarified up here at the top of the ziggurat.
Who will join me?
Room up there for dangerously lethal spazzes? Damn, I love that line. That's why you're a poseur, and I only ASPIRE to be a poseur. I could be the minister of smacking things with a bat. Don't make me whine. Too much.
Posted by: og at August 4, 2008 9:38 PMNot a lot of space on the pointy end of the ziggurat for two poseurs.
And a guy what uses the term "ziggurat" in lieu of the more boring and prosaic "pyramid" is by far the better poseur.
Which brings to mind a question: If one were to want to smoke a little of the old haschisch whilst atop that pyramid, would it be appropriate to roll it up in some Ziggurat-Zaggurats?

But first, I gotta take a whiz {/ren}

Posted by: Eric at August 6, 2008 9:45 PMLet's see. My great grandfather was a sheriff, Grandpa was a high school football coach, and Dad was a physician. I've got no marketable skills. Is there still room on the ziggurat?
