the night that ends in courage

a lesson in brevity,

in calm

dulcet tones on

pale grey nights.


drown under their own small sounds.

mute with longing

fat tuesday

ishmael [2:32 PM]: i love how people freak out when an animal at the zoo dies

danger man [2:33 PM]: .o0O

ishmael [2:33 PM]: like natural selection doesn't exist

danger man [2:33 PM]: it doesn't. God created a baby tiger out of dust and shoved it up that mommy tiger

ishmael [2:33 PM]: ahahahahaha

and will now ensure it doesn't get poached

like when the capybara was crushed in that door

ummm, rodent people

danger man [2:34 PM]: mmmmmm poached tiger with hollandaise

ishmael [2:34 PM]: the fact it's enourmous should be more disconcerting

which has an interesting god twist itself. the pope made capybara a fish! by special dispensation so the south american natives they were forcing their religion on could eat it on fridays

danger man [2:38 PM]: I hadn't heard that

ishmael [2:39 PM]: we have rules. but this one doesn't matter so we'll ignore it...

which means i could be specially dispensated as a man and my unions wouldn't be so abominable any more

but wheres the fun in that

danger man [2:40 PM]: well, the fish rule has been removed altogether

and I can't find anything online that doesn't look like a legend or joke about the capybara thing

ishmael [2:40 PM]: the filet o fish at mcdonalds was introduced especially for that reason as well

sales plummeted on fridays, so ray kroc was like ' wtf! let's put mince meal on a bun!'

danger man [2:41 PM]: yes I have heard that before

ishmael [2:41 PM]: i read it somewhere i can recall where

hhmmm

mayhaps i have been duped

danger man [2:42 PM]: everything I've found so far just refers to "The Pope" around the 16th century

pretty vague details

looks like at least the local clergy called it a fish

cause it's like a beaver

if it spends more time in the water, you can eat it during lent

ishmael [2:44 PM]: fish and beaver do taste similar

danger man [2:45 PM]: I wouldn't know

is that a truthful statement or some lesbian double entendre I am passing over?

ishmael [2:46 PM]: why would i eat a real beaver? i'm kanuckistani. that would just be unpatriotic

danger man [2:46 PM]: ew

not that there's anything wrong with that

ishmael [2:50 PM]: nothing at alllllll

i'm obviously posting this conversation on stripmall dojo

what would you like your pseudonym to be

danger man [2:56 PM]: come up with something exciting

ishmael [3:07 PM]: danger man

no too obvious it's you

danger man [3:08 PM]: Danger man is obviously me?

ishmael [3:08 PM]: clearly

but now you have to be danger man

danger man [3:08 PM]: in bizarro land

ishmael [3:09 PM]: stripmall dojo IS bizarre

much like this conversation

in this house, there is no order

cabbies.

this morning my cab driver told me

" if it was not for your voice i would think you a boy."



well thanks, mister cab driver.


broke my tooth and almost didnt make it to brunch. reminds me of a yarn....

going to amerika and then the dentist.


reception: tepid. as in luke warm? we only make calls before 8 am.

one of the few instances where speechless~ness
over came.


come over.
i'm paying.
insert dainty piano lilt and then we can can carry on to
the finer points of
falling in love.


time after time after time after it all. what happened

when we stopped saying 'good night'
and you let me hang hang hang around


i am an animal.



in your cares
in your cause
in your likeness






give it time. and you will care about the cause of the likeness
falling
as



if


we


were


finer than the silken curtains that blow careless and

free
