the hundred in the warehouse

the hundred in the warehouse.
*
tuesday is duesday ... so pay up, motherfucker!
*
monday is a stern taskmaster and boss. get to work, he emphasizes, because he talks gruffly before he acts.

for some, action isn't needed. they go to work or feel guilty.
*
the smell of the place was in my nose. it smelled of decomposing garbage. i wish i could blow it out; it permeates my mucus. i want to blow it out but i can't.
*
"ah, you're from a small town. and many people leave them; that's one reason why they remain small."
*
we left behind only tombstones and graves.
*
b. always looked petulant, about ready to cry, now that i think of it.
*
whirley twirly through the air.
whirley twirly -- you don't care.
*
one difference between europeans and americans:
for a european, 100 miles is a long distance.
for an american, 100 years is a long time.
*
mudd and pudd -- twin brothers.
*
"if i want your shit, you goddamn redneck, i'll squeeze your head -- which is on top of your goddamn redneck."
*
love is blind.
but is hate blind, too?
*
they licked the asses that shat upon them and kissed the asscheeks that smothered them.
*
why are so many old fuckers around? because god doesn't want them and the devil won't take them.
*
you've heard of farfetched. is there such a thing as nearfetched?
*
it's a chicken coop and a rabbit hutch, but not the other way around.
*
vanity is woman. conceit is man.

(not original to me -- i read it somewhere but i didn't note where and don't remember now.)
*
when a man -- and it's usually a man -- says, "my friend" to you, he isn't your friend.
if he says that, ask him if can borrow, say, at least $100 for the weekend because you're going to be a little short for the weekend. watch his reaction.
*
things change.
friends leave.
life stops for no one.
*
time flies like an arrow.

fruit flies like a banana.

and every so often, blow flies like a good hand job.
*
i got up one morning and seized the day. but in the afternoon, i dropped it.
*
someone asked me if i believed in free will. i said that i did -- i had no choice but to do that.
*
you've heard of artists finding their voices. i wonder if the same thing happens with mimes.
*
you always hear of people dying from complications, but you never hear about people dying from simplifications.
*
when you pound the hell out of a man, you don't pound the heavens into him.
*
power is taken. control is given.
active vs. passive.
*
"that's the way the ball crumbles."
"that's the way the cookie bounces."
*
she said, "i don't know if you're evil or just wicked."
he said, "baby, i'm just naughty."
*
a restaurant's name -- the garden of eatin'.
*
the union of onions.
*
men who name their sons junior don't want sons. they want clones.
*
putting together the pieces of an invisible crossword puzzle.
*
free speech is NOT a godgiven right. it's a manmade right. so don't let other men take it away from you.
*
phileros -- a mix of philia and eros -- the best love between spouses.
*
the building was in the awkward middle phase. it was too new for people to consider it fresh and too old for people to consider it a landmark.
*
say you're in the doghouse. there are worse places to be -- like the outhouse behind it.
*
you will know me before i know the world.
