My Lucky, Lucky Email

Dr. John Chan CC wrote me this recently:

Please if it interested reply me to this my private Email: (johnchan_c@aol.com) for more details. Thanks.

Dr. John Chan C.C

I didn't respond, so he wrote me again, four days later, with the exact same message.  Please don't respond to his private email!  He meant that just for me.  Once I find out some profitable life investments in my country, I'm sure I can get back to him.  It's just that, in the United States, we have only profitable death investments.

Also, Wayne Tang wrote to me yesterday an email entitled:

I am sad that he didn't get the news that Self, Help, & Radio, attorneys at law, were disbarred when it was discovered that we didn't go to law school but instead learned everything about the justice system from watching Boston Legal.

Also this past weekend, to my tremendous surprise, I won the lottery!  A lottery I never entered!  Here's the poop:

Subject:  COCA COLA COMPANY WORLDWIDE LTD.

From:  "COCA COLA"

Is it odd that a major corporation like Coca Cola (a company that has a bottling plant in Lexington that I am certain employs a fair number of our citizens) sends out its information from a site called "goshka.info"?  I should think they'd want to make sure people knew they were actually from coca-cola.com, their web presence.  Oh, I'm being too skeptical.  Let's see what I've won!

GOVERNMENT ACCREDITED LICENSED!!!

500,000 Great British pounds!  That's a lot of money.  In Great British pounds, I mean.

Also, what happened to the goshka.info address?  Richard .K. Anderson (see how cool he is - he has a period before & after the K!) is now at outlook.com .  It seems extremely inefficient.  This probably explains the dire state of the American economy.

The nice thing is that I can use the money from the lottery win to try out profitable life investments to help Dr. John Chan CC find ways to use his money, & once that's settled, & I finish law school (no college debt for me!), I'll be able to represent Wayne Tang.

This was a good week.

The Deep Show

A shallow fellow attempts to explore depth on a radio show.  There is perhaps a joke somewhere, although I hope he isn't joined by a priest & a rabbi or walking into a bar.  Someone funnier than I am - an extremely large demographic - will have to finish that one.

I was in deep with deep songs & not-so-deep thoughts on this week's show.  You can listen to it now at the Self Help Radio web site.  Or you can go directly to the show - it's in two parts - by either choosing part the one or part the two.  The track list is below.

Whither Deep?

I was sitting at my riding desk one summer morning when a letter from Filbert arrived by courier.  Filbert was always an extravagant bastard but this took the cake.  The courier had ridden his motorcycle all the way from Filbert's estate in the Luckywood Hills.  It had to have cost him his late uncle's fortune.

The letter was filled with Filbert's usual fol-de-rol, blather, & insults (he referred to me twice as "a skeezy little bitch") but he intrigued me in that way he often did - tangentially, accidentally - when he spoke of being accused by the Wilsons as "too deep."

Too deep!  Our Filbert?  The man who couldn't describe anyone past hair color & make & model of speedboat?  Outrageous!  Intolerable!  I quickly asked my manservant Josephine to get the car & make haste to Filbert's ranch.

Filbert's ranch was a tastelessly decorated modern split-level acreage with fins.  I understood that that was not a very good description of it, but it was the best I could do for something almost indescribable.  Usually there was a police car parked out front, just in case.  On Halloween, the children wouldn't so much as avoid it as try to set fire to it.  Filbert was awful proud.

"Dorian, my friend," he said to me, mispronouncing my name (it's pronounce "Charles"), "I'm so glad you came!  I was about to slice open a watermelon & collect the seeds to put in a little jar I found buried in the back of my paper closet."

"Enough of your tomfoolery, you knave!" I shrieked, upstarting.  Actually, I did nothing of the sort, but I had been listening to Rutger Hauer's stirring audiobook of him reading "The Raven" over & over & over, & that's the last line I heard.  I thought it might fit; it did not.

I continued, "Why have you summoned me?  Your letter hinted at events best described as apocalyptic, or worse described as...  Well, you do it."

"Carefree & la-de-da," he said.

"Well?  What is it?"  I was close to shrieking, but nowhere near to upstarting.

"Old bean, you're too wound up.  You need something to enrage you further.  Come on inside," he said, leading me in, "let me introduce you to someone."

It was a radio.  Not just any radio.  A radio dressed as a man dressed as radio.

"What's all this balderdash!" I said.

"Look at what it says," Filbert said patiently - frankly, he was higher than the International Space Station at apogee.

But I read:

Listen (it said) to Self Help Radio this afternoon from 4 to 6 pm on the radio at 88.1 fm in Lexington & online at wrfl dot fm.  The show today is "the deep show."  It promises shallow treasures.

"You want me to listen to the radio with you?" I sputtered.

"Heavens, no!" he said.  "That's a man dressed as a radio dressed as a man dressed as a radio."

"We could listen on the computer," I suggested.

Filbert shrugged.  "Whatever," he said.  He then handed me a seedless watermelon.

Preface To The Deep Show: Google Deep

You learn so much about people from their Google searches?  I don't know.  I typed in deep, hit space (if I didn't, I'd get Deepak Chopra, & got ten common choices people who use Google make.  (Well, nine - "deep impact" is the same as each of the following terms.)

The first one alarms me - for its own sake & for the fact that people are looking it up.  Even worse than that, the statistic are awful - according to webmd.com, every year two million people get deep vein thrombosis, & as many as 200,000 die of it.  That's one in ten.  My legs will be feeling weird all day long.

I was unfamiliar with the nonsense television show Deep South Paranormal & don't want to say anything more about it.

Deep fried Oreos?  Deep fried pickles?  Can you say "deep vein thrombosis"?

I'm sure the surviving members of Deep Purple are happy to be continually searched for, if it's only for the lyrics to "Smoke On The Water."  Although it could just as well be about the song "Deep Purple" which may be where the band got their name.  (I really don't want to have to read through their Wikipedia entry to find out.)

Ooo, Deep Web.  Sounds naughty!  It probably is!

If it were up to me, Deep Space Nine would be the first thing that would pop up when you typed the word "deep"!

As someone who's barely made a shallow impact on pretty much everyone I've ever met, I find that the phrase "deep impact" depresses me - & yeah, I know it's space-related.  But still.

Some Important Information From The Past

"For young men [in the 19th century], the great anxiety was masturbation, a term coined in a British medical journal in 1766 in an article entitled 'Onanism: A Treatise on the Disorders Produced by Masturbation.'  The origins of the term are puzzling.  The Oxford English Dictionary says that it comes from the Latin masturbari, but then calls that term of 'unkn. origin."  The verb form masturbate didn't arise until 1857, but by that time the world had come up with any number of worrisome-sounding alternatives - selfish celibacy, solitary licentiousness, solitary vice, self-abuse, personal uncleanliness, self-pollution, and the thunderous crime against nature.  By whatever name it went, there was no question that indulgence in it would leave you a juddering wreck.  According to Dr. William Alcott's A Young Man's Guide (1840), those who succumbed to temptation could confidently expect to experience, in succession, epilepsy, St. Vitus' Dance, palsy, blindness, consumption, apoplexy, 'a sensation of ants crawling from the head down along the spine,' and finally death.

As late as 1913 the American Medical Association published a book that explained that spermin, a constituent of semen, was necessary for the building of strong muscles and a well-ordered brain, and that boys who wasted this precious biological elixir would turn from 'hard-muscled, fiery-eyed, resourceful young men' into 'narrow-chested, flabby-muscled mollycoddle.'"

Whither Suits?

Suits, a haiku

Three piece or two piece
It is not really a suit
Without the trousers

Suits, a limerick

There once was a man from Beirut
Who saved up for a new three piece suit
The vest wasn't cheap
& the jacket priced steep
But the pants cost him a lot of loot!

Suits, a sonnet

Wait, I'm not going to write a sonnet about suits! What the hell is going on here?

A show about suits.  By a fellow wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday.  From 4 to 6 pm on 88.1 fm WRFL in the city of Lexington.  You can listen online at wrfl dot fm.

Needless to say: clothing optional.

Preface To Suits: Suits Stories

I think I bought my first fitted suit - which is to say, I had to have some dude measuring things called "inseams," touching me in places reserved for doctors - when I was asked to be the best man at my friend Mike's wedding.  I got the impression he was afraid I wouldn't dress up, or, worse, was planning to wear something as a "joke."  He was very serious about getting married, as one imagines one should be.  I was a little insulted he thought I'd fuck it up, but I never told him so, since it was his wedding day.

The first time I remember ever "dressing up" was for a middle school "party" or gathering for a group called the Beta Club.  Holy shit, it still exists.  I wasn't sure what the purpose of the dumb club was.  Anyway, I didn't care much what I wore in those days, I was blissfully unaware that there were clothes that people wore because of something like status & peer pressure.  It helped that I was fat & wouldn't have looked good in whatever was hip - but also, my family was poor, so of course we couldn't have afforded those clothes anyway.  I wore a lot of hand-me-downs.  In fact, for that party, I was given my brother Ralph's white suit jacket, & I believe I was made fun of for it being a little too big for me, but I don't remember being hurt by the mockery.  Perhaps I was used to it?

When I used to be asked to deejay in Austin, I always (or most of the time) wore a suit & tie.  No one cared & no one noticed.  I always looked a little ridiculous.

The second suit I bought, & was also fitted for, was for my own wedding, & it made my soon-to-be-wide angry, because I spent a little bit of money on it.  She was going to wear something not-too-fancy as her wedding dress, but she felt like she had to have something as nice as I was wearing.  She needn't have worried - I looked stupid in my moderately-expensive suit, & she would've looked amazing in a tee shirt & shorts.

I wore a suit with a red tie - the whole thing was cobbled together from parts - to my little brother's wedding.  I think I was the only one of his four brothers who wore a suit to his wedding.  With the bright red tie, I felt like I looked like Rush Limbaugh.  For some reason.  Maybe I had also shaved?

I once bought, for a friend's wedding, a suit from a catalog.  Got it through mail order.  Surprisingly, it fit.  Sadly, I got really sick before the wedding, & had to excuse myself during the ceremony.  I don't think I wore it for longer than a couple of hours.

I have no idea where that suit is now.

Murderous Impulses

You've probably seen this headline: Cats Killing Billions Of Animals In The U.S.

Does this look like the face of a killer to you?

Okay, it does.  But she's not!

I have three cats but I keep them indoors because I am selfish.  This article says that an outdoor cat has a life expectancy of five years.  Five years!  That beautiful creature up there is named Beatrice, & in June she turned 13 years old.  I might have lost her eight years ago if she had been an outdoor cat.

(Probably longer - she's very skittish.)

We have a sun room in which she spend a great deal of time, & the windows are always open.  She doesn't seem to want to go outside - she has a pretty good gig as it is.

& the birds outside are very happy about the arrangement!

Surrender

Oh, I give up.

Whither Surrender?

I am waving the white flag because Self Help Radio is forced to surrender this week.  After minutes of pointless fighting & untold losses on each side, Self Help Radio is going to take the more humiliating road & surrender outright rather than admit it wasn't entirely sure what it was fighting about & whom it had been fighting with.  Also, the show is a lot wimpy.

The surrender ceremony (if that's what they call it) will air today from 4 to 6 pm (EST) on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington but events can be heard live as it happens online on the helpful website WRFL dot FM.  Documents will be signed, gun salutes may be fired, & if I'm lucky, one of the generals from the other side won't knock me down & kick me over & over & over.

Do listen!

Preface To Surrender: Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys!

"Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys."  That's a mean way of referring to the French.  Look it up.

The article notes it comes from a Simpsons episode, but was used by neocons to express unhappiness with France declining to join in the invasion of Iraq, but says, "With declining support for the Iraq War, the term fell out of use."

I had this weird moment a while back when I discovered that my wife had never seen the television show All In The Family, which is widely considered one of the best television shows ever, & certainly I loved watching it as a kid.  But the main character, Archie Bunker, is so obviously racist that someone born after the show, as my wife is, can't really get past that to the show's motives.  She did not want to watch it.

He used a particular hateful term - one I haven't heard in years - & I don't want to print it here, so don't worry which one it is - but the thing is, the word - which just isn't used any more - seems kinda cute to me.  Like, if no one knew its racist connections, they might think it was adorable.

One time, I was with a friend who (like me) doesn't eat animals & who in particular (also like me) loves pigs, & finds them very lovely & intelligent.  One time, in a car, we were listening to the song "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan.  (If you're not familiar with it, you can read about it if you want.)  It's about an injustice &, to describe how the protagonist of the song is getting railroaded by the authorities, Dylan sings, "The trial was a pig circus, he didn't have a chance."

My friend, when she heard the phrase "pig circus," said, "Yay!"  She wasn't listening to the song, she was just thinking of how cute a circus composed entirely of pigs would be.  & she was right!  It would be amazing.

Which is my long way of saying, I think "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" sound like animals I'd love to hang around with.  Who wants to hang out with flesh-eating aggressive monkeys?  The cheese-eating surrender monkeys have the right idea: drop out of the war & enjoy some snacks.

I have noticed that the word "surrender" in the songs I'll play on tomorrow's show don't have negative connotations.  Perhaps I'll talk about that.

A Week Off

Hey, I'll be taking a short vacation this week, so I won't be blogging or doing Self Help Radio - luckily Patrick will be sitting in on Friday with a show about "friendship"!  I hope you'll listen & will pardon this already quiet blog's week of inactivity.

See you next week!
