Timmy Hobo

Littlest Hobo by Terry Bush

There’s a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that’s where I’ll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend,
Can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.

Down this road that never seems to end,
Where new adventure lies just around the bend.
So if you want to drive me for a while,
Just grab your ‘cup’ come travel light, that’s hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.

Into the woods

Sarah Palin? Is she who she says she is?

I was reading Chris Kelly’s blog on Huffpo about Sarah Palin and her repeated use of the expression ‘common sense’ when answering pretty much all questions posed to her that I began to think..if English is her mother tongue she doesn’t have much of a vocabulary especially for the daughter of educators. I mentioned this to J.S. a so-so pal whose name looks like hers but rhymes with Aline and who is under no aleutians about her. He said:

“i putin other way: she has common touch nYET she not fat. she russian spy. english her fecund language. a mary con as apple pi.”

mittenstrings & huffpuppy

the mittenstrings are doing a short set tonight nov 6 around 11 pm. venue is il motore on north side of jean-talon ouest just a couple of blocks ouest of st-laurent. there are a few bands playing and the theme is travel. lily tells me they’re doing the van horne song that audrey bean and i wrote back in the 70s when the city ignored the protests of sauvons/save montreal and allowed the van horne house to be torn down. it stood at sherbrooke o. and stanley. some developer built a very ordinary high-rise on the spot and put his name on it. now it’s a hotel.

seems trains are de rigueur again. warren buffett should know.

go to huffpuppy to see a bit of old film from the 80s where i used sylvan’s lovely big new compo, a waltz no less.

good luck. x

it’s november, september.. whatever. it has an r in it.

what is this all about? he’s dead. oh turns out he’s not dead. he’s alive. NOW in a coma..when did he go into a coma? cnn is angry they weren’t told…dr. phil??? why is he here? oh. he’s a spokesman for the muslims. $$$$$$$$$ lobbyist for saudis?

if this guy nidal was being investigated by the military  why in allah’s name did he have two guns in his possession, one a semi-automatic? i think they said it actually was the fbi that was watching him which now explains why nothing was done. he was probably an operative they no longer needed or trusted so they were shipping him off to irak to meet his maker. why am i so cynical.

and why is it that the military is never prepared when muslims are about to attack? they had him on a security video..and they knew he’d chatted about suicide bombing. WTF! inexcusable.

and now obama’s supposed brother has been unearthed…and he lives in china..cnn’s ed rollins is concerned that if the u.s. were to launch yet another stimulus, this time to help the ‘middleclass,’ it will mean borrowing more money from china and china will own the u.s.. I think china already does. how long before the u.s. will be invading us? i think the u.s./china already owns us. and does that mean china owns irak? sp-oils of war.

cbc is trying very hard to be cnn, fox, provocative or entertaining, dumb..it’s not working. i think i’m the only person watching. all they can come up with are those feet washing up on the coasts of b.c… could the feet belong to the women that went missing on the ‘highway of tears?’ might this be a nike publicity stunt?

oh. charles and camilla are in toronto and most people there seemed charmed by them. maybe we’re goin back to our original owners…

OINK!!!!OINK!!

All Saints Day:

In all the years we’ve lived here in the house at the end of  the long dark lane not one child has ever come trick or treating despite us carving a pumpkin and stocking up on candy bars for the little goblins. Of course Dane doesn’t mind this at all cause he gets to eat all the candy. Kate tells me she and Vinnie had separate pumpkins on their respective floors and greeted many many Halloweiners. I hear Vin was dressed up and that his little night visitors were treated to some of his original accordion tunes.

gatemouth brown, snakes

tangenitally? my hearing is goin.. michael ware said it to campbell brown. smirk. smirk. campbell wonders whether it was hillary c.’s visit to pakistan that caused the deaths of 100 innocent civilians. smirk. is gatemouth implying the secretary of state should have stayed home? gatemouth is the pretend sec of state. ware explains there are 2 talibans. gatemouth bored. smirk.

next big item: she disapproves of levi nekked or nearly..smirk in playgirl she’s not a fan. wonder why? wonder what ware thinks. oh. he’s gone.

black guest analyst says agassi’s rise in world of tennis corresponds with his taking crystal meth. white analyst says, but it wasn’t steroids, it was only recreational. oh. it’s ok for white people to take crystal meth for whatever reason..good.

next on agenda. feud. white house versus fox news. blah blah. what about cnn versus white house? candy crawley thin. lou dobbs syndrome? cross-border hoppers are taking all our food.

oh. for the 5th time today, all cnn talking heads repeatedly gang-raped (metaphorically) that california girl that had been gang-raped for 2 1/2 hrs. larry asks were was the compassion? deepak. we’re retarded, blames it on our reptitian brains that like to do that sort of thing and lie around and watch. my snake did it..that much we know. more reptiles: geragos-pirogi: things will come to play.fascinating. smirky smirk.
tomorrow: more on levi’s snake.

Poor old Montreal – Mr. Labonté spins his honey – taxpayers are mafia’s miel ticket

So it looks like what everyone has suspected for a long time is in fact what’s happening. That the city is run by the mafia and the ‘elected’ city council and its staff in their cubicles at City Hall are the mob’s private lap dancers. The pap(e) smears are positive. Now the Globe and Mail is calling Vile Mairie ‘The Palermo of North America’, the rottenest city on the continent, this after Count Ignatieff compèred Toronto to Cleveland. Quelle bêtise! There are so many holes drilled in the island city it could break up and float away.. Trepanier who is handing out the drill-bits for 3% is well-named. I don’t think it’s that easy to rid yourself of the mafia once you’re in its maw. Would it not be easier for the citizens of Montreal to forego the pretense of a democratically elected council and just deal directly with the mafia? City Hall would make a nice opera venue.

mittenstrings – indyish monthly mess at il motore nov 6 09

the mittenstrings are like mushrooms. they push up HERE and there in the fall, usually in urban landscapes.

the perils of the road. raelene narrowly misses hitting a pink deer.

camel belles

wasn’t that a sad story about the poor she-camel in saudi arabia who had been out grazing when she fell into an oil storage pit and died. she was highly-prized by her owner who had entered the rare black camel in a ‘beauty pageant.’ now’s he sueing the oil company for 250,000$.

much feedback.

auntie k’wait: i guess they have to enter camels(perhapes her name was camella) in beauty contests because they can’t show how beautiful(or ugly) their women are….i wonder if the camels promenade in a bathing suit..perhaps participate in a talent contest….
get jealous of each other…

so naan did a mock-up of a glossy.

then he-camel wrote:
I shall overlook the physical similarity. Shall we all sing “The little Dromedary’ Boy”?. HEY maybe I can enter the contest. Sponsors ? Aramco ? Halliburton ? White Rose ?
Hump indeed. Humpty Dumpty sez aye

ZZ:
I know this face .
But seriously, I only get it for the articles……..like “a” “the”

wiener augusta:
wow. a beauty pageant for camels… black camels…
the only thing i’ve ever heard was that when they crossed the deserts they would put a stone in their vagina so they wouldn’t get pregnant…. i know sounds crude..

auntie k’wait:
now i understand the old robert johnson song….got rocks in my bed

ZZ:
“All the precious stones are rocks”

naan:
and this old riddle solved
‘i gave my love a cherry than had no stone’
