And what percentage...

... does the Mob get?

Watching the choir.

Cruisin'

 

I'm really becoming convinced that cruise ships are totally wired.  Be careful, Honey.

Singing with the choir.

Oh, you don't do those slides anymore!  I miss those so much.  Someone gift her a fretless guitar!

The machine

 

Sigh, the motorcycle won't start.  This means that when I want to go anywhere, I have to walk or take my father's car.  Even if I pushed it to the shop, I don't have the money to repair it.  So even though I'm an inept mechanic, I'm going to try to fix it myself.  No, I don't know what I'm doing.  I can't even open the housing, let alone get at the carburator.  Are you a good mechanic?  Oh I forgot, you couldn't change a tire with two grown men helping you.  So I guess we're on the same level.  Sigh.  I need a new car.  Ya Allah, please buy me a new car.  From Allah is our origin and to Allah is our return.

Keep away from water

 

Hm, still working on the Good issue.  Good.

Once upon a time when I was still working at the pizza joint, someone left a pair of JBL powered speakers on top of the dough cooler.  That was 2006, and I had just completed "Shadowplay's Greatest Hits part 3: The Struggle to be Normal".  Cell phones didn't play music back then, so I had a pair of mini speakers connected to a battery powered Radio Shack amplifier connected to an mp3 player dangled around my neck like a necklace so I could listen to my own programming while I cooked, and I could pause it when I answered the phone.  I tried hooking up the tunes to the JBLs on the cooler, and everything sounded like complete crap.  The owner of the speakers (a DJ) never claimed them, so I asked the boss if I could have them.  He said no, the owner will come back for them.  I said that I didn't want to use them, I wanted to dissect them.  You know, like a frog in science lab.  The moral of this story is that sometimes, betrayal is in the machine.

Cooking your own meals

 

Ah, so you want to create your own generation's music genre.  Just be creative OK, and don't churn out the same old shit.  Admit it, a lot of punk rock (and rock, for that matter) is the same old shit repackaged as "youth" music.  Can you make great new music?

Can you cook your own meals?

The politicians gave me some of the above ramen cup noodles during their flood relief campaign, and it's not bad!  I would have never tried it otherwise.

Hi Gwen!

Ah, the French

 

People were much flashier back then.  Nowadays the human females can wear less clothes and look absolutely boring.

Great!  But the fretboard on his guitar has to be the most interesting thing.

The wedding singer.

Out of this world

 

Now I remember!  It was for one of those business suits that Mary had been working at.  That's not real champagne, folks.  The girls aren't allowed to consume drugs and alcohol.

It's a Rock and Roll life, Honey.  You're not going to remember much of anyplace anytime unless you stuff that scrapbook of yours, Grace.  Please stay clean!
