The first line of mine would be:

"I was born on a damp, gray, November morning, in a post industrial city on the banks of cold river in the year Dylan went electric."



"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles.

Huh? I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends and uh, my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi.

This, this is what I am looking for at Christmas. Pure, unadulterated, well written, abject bullshit.

Let your creative crapper flow!

June 13th weather of "57" in eastern Iowa was on the mild side, not the usual high temperature and higher humidity,.

It was perfect strawberry weather, Ruby's sister Darlene called and said come and pick these before they go bad.

Ruby was 8 months and three and a half weeks in to her fourth child .

Her and Dad took the packard for the seven mile ride, around 1:00
After five peck baskets were filled up, Ruby said it was time to go to the hospital.

By 4:30 the next morning Leo Jr. Was Norma's, Bill's and Cecelia's new brother.

No one remembers if the ten quarts of strawberries ever got canned up or frozen.

Leo Jr. Thought he was extra special for six years in a row as people would make an extra special effort to hang out their American flags on his June 14th birthday.

On a glorious day in July, 80 years ago, a mother and father saw their baby for the first time:

Dad: "Ain't no way that wrinkled up, short, fat, baldheaded, whiney creature came from my loins!"

Mom: "That is kinda what the nurse said - she said he was the spitting image of his dad!"

It was a dark and stormy night ...

A WW2 vet and his English war bridd thought it would be a good idea to start a family.





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I was in this cave and all of the sudden there was an earthquake. I saw some light at the end of a dark long tunnel and I went for it. In stead of being rescued, some bastard grabbed me and started smacking the shit out of me. I screamed and the next thing I knew was someone shoved a tit in my mouth.
