"my moving sale in july in tucson, az"
the traffic on
saturday began at 7am so I thought i would open it up at 6am on sunday
and a couple did come to my sunday "6am - 11am yardsale" at 630am but I
think they had been drinking the night before which was a saturday and
were still up because they wanted to buy my bright yellow extension
telescopic duster for 25 cents which I just could not do I said c'mon
50 cents but the woman replied can I buy a paper towel for a quarter no
sorry I don't have any I never buy paper towels but it was just because
she wanted a kleenex which made me feel bad no I don't have that either
but I have a toliet paper roll that has not been sitting next to the
toilet and she explained my nose is running so I ran inside brought out
the roll so she could take what she needed she offered me the quarter
saying thank you SO much I'm serious about the quarter i said oh no
c'mon you had to blow your nose and thought she is like a 4year-old who
really wants to buy something, anything, just to have the exchange but
I was really nice they were really nice but the point is how they ran
over my moving sale sign box that sat along the curb down the road with
a huge piece of concrete inside that was shocking I had written on both
sides of the box all the stuff you would need to know encouraging stuff
like just drive to the end of the gravel road to find my courtyard but
when they left it looks like they stole the special duster because all
they had on them probably was that quarter and were uninhibited but I
couldn't let it go like that because I loved everything I owned but I
don't see it around anymore then they ran over the sign leaving a big
black tread mark besides tearing it apart so that no one could read it
Hey! Ho!
Please Check out my newest video for "THE BATH TUB SONG"
Directed by MICHEAL LUCID one of my FAVORITE directors/actors/comic genious/humans and co-creator of PRETTY THINGSSS (www.prettythingsss.com)
Amnesty4awol is demanding nothing short of a presidential pardon for the 15,000 soldiers who dropped out of an Illegal war started by a Commander in Chief guilty of war crimes! The same thing carter did in 1978.
Oh please do tell me your joining sister spit...! That would just be wonderful! Either way, I love your writings and would love to see you in Chicago sometime. :)
