Get It: 103 |
Vol. 1, No. 60 |
DARK: Very dark ... cold ...
quite a difference from last week ... at least we don't
have the blizzards ... it's really hard gettin' up so
far this week ... when the alarm goes off at 5 (4 in real
time!) my body refuses to obey ... 'course it was nice
drivin' home in daylight ... easier to spot the Volvos
... who knows ... I might actually get inspired to work
'round the yard if it's light enough ... better yet ...
I might wanna go out 'n hold down the deck glider ...
watch the dogs chase squirrels ... the crows chase the
hawks ... the bats chase the moths ... makes me tired
jes' thinkin' 'bout it!

RUSH: Can you believe the guv'ment
... postin' everybody's earnin' records on the Internet
... so you can check out how much Social Security you
have ... then it was picked up by the press ... my boss
was tellin' me about the site ... the Internet experienced
a jam up ... as millions of people tried to see what someone
else was gettin' paid ... it was a sign of how much farther
we have to evolve as human bein's ... be able to mind
our own business ... be happy when other people have good
fortune ... rejoice with 'em ... I couldn't get through
either ... how will I find out how much my neighbors make?
... it was almost as much traffic as when a site appears
here ... I've been contacted by a few sites I've mentioned
... sayin' they've never experienced such spikes in traffic
volumes 'cept when I list 'em ... I promise to keep it
to a minimum ... I don't wanna be blamed for the slowdown
of the Web ... the latest rumor is that if you go to the
Social Security site ... enter the wrong information ...
it'll lock up your terminal ... sounds like guv'ment propaganda
to me ... oops ... I'm back now ... had to turn my computer
off ... back on ... something locked up my computer while
I was visitin' www.ssa.gov ... guess I shouldn't entered
someone else's name! ... but if you'd like to visit a
site that comes up purty quick 'n has some neat stuff
on it ... check out http://www.royalcourt.se/eng/ ...
let His Majesty the King of Sweden know that Mikey sent
ya ... but you'll have to do it in a letter ... he doesn't
have an e-mail address ... I guess you could send a message
via the webmaster ... some neat pictures ... I wanted
'em to link to me but they're tryin' to maintain their
neutrality!

TAXING: Are yours done? ...
only one more week ... better not miss ... or you'll end
up doin' hard time ... workin' on a chain gang ... eatin'
boiled eggs 'til your eyeballs bulge out ... spendin'
time in the hot box for sassin' the Warden ... then makin'
a break for it ... draggin' your chain mate along ...
runnin' through the swamp to lose the dogs ... hidin'
in a barn ... usin' a sledge hammer to break the shackles
... end up surrounded in a country church ... finally
decidin' to give yourself up ... walkin' out into the
humid night air ... the glare of floodlights blindin'
ya ... nothin' but shadows ... vague shapes of guns pointin'
at ya from every direction ... ya decide to scratch your
belly button ... you hear someone scream "he's goin'
for a gun!" ... then the shatterin' sound breaks
the still night air ... 'n you knock everythin' off your
night stand tryin' to find the OFF button on your clock
radio ... jes' do your taxes ... the Tea Party's over!
