Hi.
Well, it's about 9F tonight. Chilly.

I've just seen the worst movie ever made. It's called Megasnake. It starred absolutely no one. You'd think a digital snake would cast a digital shadow. No. Out of the question.
It's worse than Voodoo Dawn, which I didn't think possible. Actually, I've been meaning to rate Voodoo Dawn a little higher since it stars the guy who played "Ugh" on Salute Your Shorts. Throwing the term "starred" around a bit loosely here, I know.

...Starring Linda Harrison as "Nova". Yeah boy.

I vowed to myself years ago that I would not watch an episode of M*A*S*H* unless McClean Stevenson was still in the cast. (I've never cared for Harry Morgan ever since I saw him in "My Six Convicts"). I've kept that vow. Well, I did watch part of an episode of AFTER M*A*S*H* because Rosalind Chao was in it.
(For those who don't know, AFETR M*A*S*H was a spin-off of the original series. Just imagine MAYBERRY RFD without the charm.)
(Yes, Penelope, that's sarcasm).

There's a commercial on TV lately for something called a "Sham-wow". It claims to clean everything forever. The loudmouth hawking this piece of crap states that "you people spend $20 a month on paper towels..."
OK, right off the bat I hate it when a guy with a dyed moustache assumes anything about me. Now, to his assumption.
Well, let's see... A roll of paper towels usually lasts me two weeks. I buy two rolls at Dollar General for $1 a piece. so... his math is a bit suspect. What I want to know is, who is spending $20 a month on paper towels. They're either made of imported damned silk, or there is some equinoctial drool cult that's meeting under the full moon and slobbering across lay lines.

I don't know whats going on, but lately I'm finding Cathy Baker from Hee Haw to be terribly attractive. Thank God it's not Stringbean.

I've found five of my old Duncan Yo yo's. The Butterfly seems to be missing...

Honestly, even the unmemorable late 1960s, early 1970s TV programmes had great theme songs. If you're ever bored, just search YouTube for "He & She', or "Brigit Loves Bernie". They are mini-movies splashing romantic positivism in the face of Vietnam era America.
I keep hoping that "The Girl With Something Extra" theme will show up there. And by the way, the "girl" was Sally Field, and the "something extra" was ESP.
Just so there's no confusion.

I have a music player in my head. It appears to be set on shuffle mode. Here lately there's been a commercial jingle from 1972 recurring... for 5th Avenue candy bars. I remember that it featured Peter Max style animation.
I'm mildly pleased to find that 5th Avenue candy bars are still around, as are Mallo Cups. Well actually, I hate Mallo Cups. But, I'm still glad they're around.

Benediction:
In January of 1979 I would listen to UFO in the afternoons, and daydream about the pristine curbs of Charlotte. Record stores that smelled of new vinyl and a hundred different kinds of incense. Cold, blue days. Girls who skated and smiled, and sat in your lap. A broken blue C4 Christmas bulb that cut my knee as I climbed into a bedroom window. Of Edward V, young and murdered in his bed. Of new guitar strings, and new hopes. Of old magazines, and advertisements that time had turned into quaint poetry. Of long, late phone conversations, under many blankets... as it was in the beginning.
God Bless
I'm not John Boy

I'm available for commissions - sort of. If you want something like 437 free murals then I'm probably not your man. But, if you have a project in mind and you think my style would suit, do get in touch with me and we'll mull it all over. Don't be afraid, I seldom bite. OK, I do bite, but I've had all my shots. Extend your arm here dtmal@msn.com
FYI - I sell my originals
Depending on the piece, of course. I'm also open to trades under certain circumstances .

:coke: My Love





I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work.








Salute Your Shorts...
I only remember Donkey Lips and Budnick, who's name I thought for all these years was Butkis.
A little searching though, and I see Ug was that ridiculous sunscreen guy, who I only remembered as the ridiculous sunscreen guy.
Not that he irritates me, or anything
Love love love, and please do carry on!
(I'm in agreement with the common opinion, by the way, on this benediction. Loved reading it. Yessiree.)
...and, beyond records, it had the best selection of artsy greeting cards EVER. No Hallmark, shit, but lots of cool airbrush stuff from companies like Paper Moon & Pomegranate. And everyone who worked there- long haired freaky people...
...I need drugs, & the only "drug" that'll satisfy me after that little trip into nostalgia land is a pinwheel (chocolate covered (allegedly) marshmallow on a graham cracker base. I think Nabisco still makes them...
...or recirculates them.
