I once mused on what my last words should be, inspired by the myriad of last words attributed to Oscar Wilde as well as the charater of Switters from Tom Robbins' Fierce invalids Home From Hot climates who is determined to make his final exclamation WAHOOO!
A fine goal if I say so myself and there is no better time to say so than now as indeed these are my last words. I could say something profound but there really aren't any finer words to my ears than those of Groucho Marx, to wit:
Hello, I must be going.
I'm sorry that I cannot stay I must be going.
Ta ta!
WAHOOOOOOOO!! |

Yes Virginia, there really was a Gong Show movie. And thanks to the fifth horseman of the apocalypse *cough*cough* I mean the internet I finally have proof.
Also have hardcopy proof somewheres that Styx did in fact do 'The Plexiglass Toilet Song'. Heard it once 20+ years ago and all I recall is the chorus "Don't sit on the plexiglass toilet.". But it's real and I do have proof. I was told for years that I was making all this and more up or that I'd imagined it or recollected wrong (a thing I do not do. If I remember a thing, it is, if not actually idedetic then deeply imprinted. in short, my recall is scattered and slow as if it were on analog but what I do recall I do so with a margin of error of perhaps .07333%).
This, this is what comes of having a scattergun, drug-damaged, seemingly random head for trivia and no more. This is what comes of having a vast warehouse of information...all of it down to the last byte utterly without practical value.
And coming to a theatre near you...
FINNEGAN'S WAKE The Movie
No, I made that last up. But I'd sure as hell like to see it. Would have to be a better time than the Spice Girls Movie.
But all I got to say to those who doubted me is...
In yer face!
('sides, I actually saw The Gong Show Movie in the theatre. Can't find hardcopy of it anywhere tho much less a seeded torrent to the bastard.) |

The boy is clearly pissed off and voicing it in his usual passive-agressive manner, ie blasting fucking EBM.
And he calls himself a deathrocker too. Heh. Actually got into a pissing contest with me about it once. Hey, which one of us actually knew Dinah Cancer and had dinner with Alien Sex Fiend? There. I've got my deathrock creds I don't give a rat's ass what else I may dig that DQ's that.
Anyhow. Yeh, when I'm listening to aggressive music it's cause I'm happy, when he does it's cause he's fueling his angry/self-indulgent wallow. But I'm the one who has to suffer. I've talked to him about this. I've explained that not only does he have his subwoofer against my bedroom wall (right behind where my head goes when I'm trying to sleep), but it's also on the floor delivering him an inferior sound and our downstairs neighbor an unnecessary one.
I suppose all this is moot as I dunno how we're gonna possibly keep this place but he's made it clear that if I go anywhere else (I have a choice?) that I'll be abandoning him and he really does have no place to go and it's not in my nature to look out for number one, except that for most of my life I have kinda been doing so by default and the fact that I'm utterly impossible to be close to or live with.
It's hard to be a rockstar when yer tied to a rock. |

I cannot afford to mail anyone anything but for those nearby I might be able to deliver. I have to get rid of stuff wholesale.
Free stuff!
Very large number of movies, tv series, and miscellania on VHS. Name it. Lots and lots of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, hollywood silver age, spaghetti cinema, cult films, brit telly, music video, eurotrash, largely obscurish kinda stuff. I may hang onto a few that I can transfer direct to digital that are otherwise unavailable, but it's all gotta go. I'd rather not toss it into the alley.
Massive vinyl collection. One of the finest assemblages of early to mid 80's metal, 70's punk, new wave, no wave, spacerock, hardcore, some early electronica (think Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk), deathrock, goth, lots and lots of soundtracks (most rare, original Bell, Book, and Candle and Forbidden Planet, Destination Moon, Forbidden fuckin' Zone, you get the idea). A metric assload of rarities from Hawkwind to Alien Sex Fiend (autographed) to Iron Maiden to original Misfits stuff including actual fer real Misfits guitar pick from Doyle, to Zodiac Mindwarp. Lots of stuff autographed. *sigh* I may actually have to part even with my Plasmatics stuff signed by Wendy O. Williams. *sigh*
Any fuckin' furniture that can be carried away. Lovely canopy bed. Always wanted one. At least I had one for a year. Rear projection cabinet big screen (45" screen I think. Worth the price...free, just need muscle to move it).
I may be willing to sell for a modest amount my GX110 which I use primarily for downloading. Not massive firepower but not everyone needs as much as I. P3 1GHZ, 512 matched RAM two CD+-R burners one 24x one 52x. Could I suppose throw in a 48x CD burner/DVD reader(not writer). Self-built and customized case. Just now only has one Maxtor 40GB hard Drive. I can't spare more. BUT I can load the fucker with ANY software desireable. I can obtain (provided ya don't care where it came from) fully registered cracked copies of pretty near any rev of any software out there. Can give you backup copies just in case. Can also recommend what I personally consider (not without experience in these matters) the better media players. Windows media player is bloated and will slow a machine down unless you have power to spare. Right now it's running XP Pro but that's my personal(ahem) copy and unless you can reseal it (good for I think 5 reseals) it will expire soon. Depending on your needs I can include the Nvidia Geforce 5200 FX graphics card in it but those are a bit pricy and I'd as soon not lose it as it was intended for a gaming machine I'm putting together. Onboard graphics are fine for most people. For sound I have either a Creative soundblaster or Soundblaster live (also originally intended for the games machine was just gonna keep that one streamlined for the one thing, but needs must when the devil drives).
Someday I will be able to afford an actual real copy of my own of XP pro but by then I'll prolly be running Linux.
Anyhow, cept for the computer it all must go or go in the alley to be rained on (provided it ever rains) and be generally fucked up. The records make me weep just thinking about them. I was amassing my collection from 16 years old and lots of it is utterly unavailable on any other format. Lots of rarities. But doesn't really matter to my kind I suppose, eh? |

Can't fuckin' believe I hadda miss out on Kommunity FK playing last night due to excessive poverty.
Fuck. Shit. Piss.
Funny that too being that I bugged area DJs for nearly a decade to play em. They never would. Seems to me I heard em played at Death Guild in SF tho.
Ah, ma vie en rose. Does it get any better? No seriously, does it EVER get any better? |
