@perfectsoundpod @johnsfurcoat Have you guys heard Balkan Beat Box? To my ear it’s in that same family.

The referee is dead! He rises from the grave. He tries to change the rules after the game is done being played.

A little later the thought crept in. She tried to push it away. But there it was again and then... it popped into MY brain. Oh, snap! The thoughts we share: we trade them like we’re playing catch, despite not really speaking.

When the melting ooze seeps into your shoes you don’t get to choose to leave. We are smeared with drooling pancake, blinded by fake tan, seduced with fellow citizens to jump in the back of a beat up van. When they enter willingly, it’s on us. Yin Yang glue.

Pontificate! Blather! Use your words to lather your convictions 'til your mind is cleansed of doubt. When you think the thing: Grab it! Don't wait! Tomorrow it will be gone, and new insults will buzz around your mind. We are compost. The flies will eat us.

A little place for chortling, needed.
A wee moment for a break.
A dance on yellow, green and brown,
erasing an unwanted frown.
A glint, a smile, a broader grin?
Just please, for heaven's sake.

Salmon Cupcake never drank a meager splash of tonic. But scoliosis wrenched him near and then his elbows caught his ears, his paranoia cradled fears of problems that were chronic.

@jennydeluxe @Wesley_Morris Thanks for another great podcast. Have you read
The Sellout, by Paul Beatty? Your discussion on geography made me wonder. Its a big, crazy, selfish, wonderful, paranoid, contradictory, hilarious, iconoclastic meditation on place in America.

@contromir @standupecon that is hilarious!
Maybe try sharing a few chapters of the Econ book in Persian? See what happens.

[grady klein @gradyklein]

@contromir @gradyklein @standupecon Would be so cool to figure out a way to get copies of the Econ books to Iranian high school students.

@contromir @gradyklein it's tough work but lots of fun. my coauthor Yoram is @standupecon.

@contromir Ah, just noticed you're in DC so the answer is English. I'd love to see my books in Iran. :-)

@contromir Thanks, Amir! B/W only=cheaper cost +lets me focus on writing &gags. Are you a cartoonist? What language are you reading them in?

The powerful underling wears underwear that glows, it is a torment to see him as he takes off his clothes to expose his brown nose.

I tinkle terribly. When I hit the ground I try to sound like raindrops in a pond. But what I get, still all wet, is thuds like rocks in mud.

5 teeth at the same time. My baby was in his prime sleeping fine emerging like a flower but then 5 teeth at the same time? Dagger song 3 am

No need to reread his intension. No need to critique his clothes. A creature of habit who thinks like rabbit stuffs everything up his nose

Fan any fervor that singes your ears. Do it for over a year. Then you will live in perpetual fear of the freezing you'd feel if you stopped
