there’s a chorus, too.

Would you like to hear my new composition? It is going to be a sophisticated  tuba/saxophone duet in B flat. It’s going to be kinda syncopated and kinda klezmer-ey and it has words too. And it’s political. Here is the chorus:

John Phillip Souza / He’d love to abuse ya

That’s all I got for now.

the craziest thing + 3 eggs

Filed under: eggs: over easy — schlinky at 12:44 pm on Monday, October 8, 2007

Ever had a mad craving for an omelet? I came home from work the other night absolutely famished. And I’d been thinking about that damn omelet all day. How I was going to slice up some chives and sautee some mushrooms and make me a big ole piece of toast to go with it. I started pulling out spices and chili peppers and everything when I realized there weren’t any eggs in the house because my inconsiderate roommate uses them all up and then conveniently forgets to pick up more.

So I got on my bike and rode like a crazed, muttering, egg-obsessive lunatic towards the store and when I got there they were just closing. I yelled “My eggs! I need just three eggs! Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase!”, but it totally didn’t help because like I said, they were closing already and didn’t care.

After my temper tantrum was over, I got off my bike and crossed the street. I heard a noise and then I noticed a window opening four stories up from an apartment building and a rope came down with a basket attached. The basket was slowly lowered down to street level. I couldn’t actually see anyone at the window but I knew there was a message for me. When I picked up the basket there were three beautiful eggs in it. And there was writing on the eggs. One of them said “just”, one said “for” and one said “you”.

So I yelled thanks and went home and made the best &^%$#@! omelet you ever had.

Dude, talk about Deus Eggs Machina.

nobel prize: the scandalous truth

Filed under: punnery, wordishness, you call that news? — schlinky at 3:32 am on Saturday, October 6, 2007

Ever noticed how the Swedes never award themselves Nobel prizes? If you were unfortunate enough to have been born in Sweden, the chances of you ever getting a Nobel prize are slim indeed, my friend.

That’s right. They can Swedish it out, but they can’t take it.
