Today in Salacious Zoo Activities


Brachiate over thissa way said the Swarthy Dago, Slick Unibrow waggling in a manner reminscent of Joe Cocker imitating bacon sizzling on a 60 Watt Lightbulb. The orangutan continued licking his lower digits...

Fun with Cow-Orkers of Recent Vintage

Cow-Orker: Need to have my gutters fixed.
TIP: Mmm hmm. Neighbor's been having trouble with his.
Cow-Orker: How so?
TIP: He keeps shitting in them.
Cow-Orker: What?
TIP: He shits in his gutters. Says it's a thing or whatever.
Cow-Orker: Thing?
TIP: Sy-Colon-itis.
Cow-Orker: Bullshit.

Cow-Orker (leaves)

Cow-Orker: You look angry.

Cow-Orker: So you look angry all the time?

Cow-Orker: You are mad.
TIP: Now.

Cow-Orker: I didn't want to leave my boyfriend in downtown Minneapolis without any money or a working cellphone.

To whom it may concern,

If you happen to overhear someone mention their 'Time in the Pokey' there's a strong possibility that they mean incarceration and not their short-lived career as a Gumby Steed Impersonator.

Zappa Dream


Last night/this morning I had a dream that involved me being a member of Zappa's band during his tour in support of the above album (renamed in the dream as Cruising with Ruben and the TIPs). Frank was conducting rehearsals and teaching each of his band members some dance moves. He turns to me (at one point) and says:
"Don't get all Fosse on me, TIP."
And then I woke up.
