I skipped a grade. Well Kindergarten. I don't play well with others or color within the lines.
I'm really good at coloring within the lines! I went to Kindergarten twice. Sort of. About two months into my first Kindergarten we moved to another state that had different starting age requirements so I had to wait out the year and start again. I graduated with Matt in '87.
He was really doing voodoo? Like, Haitian/Creole voodoo? I wonder if he used that word, or if it was a translation thing.
Hee. Connie said "Bogor".
Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slit the throat of a goat, a small snake and stabbed a black crow in the chest, stirred their blood with spice and broccoli before drank the "potion" and smeared some on his face.
He got it wrong, though. Broccoli is for George H.W. He should've used pretzels (or was it peanuts?) for W.
If it's real, it's just dumb. It's not like the animal would be infused with flavor.
Assuming this is the same thing Minion told me about the other day, I think that kind of is the point. Or at least to mask the gunpowder flavor.
Or at least to mask the gunpowder flavor.
Well true, I'm sure that an infusion of spices tastes much better than buckshot and gunpowder. The first animal that came to mind was deer, not turkey, as I've never known anyone personally who hunted turkey. I guess it could make a little difference in a smaller bird, where you might be cleaning and preparing it at home. But the typical deer is dressed and processed before consumption.
Man, you can take the girl out of the country, but....
Oh dog. I was 3 years out of university, 4 years married and preparing to walk across America in 1985. May not be old per se, but I sure am mature.
Beej and Zen are roughly in my cohort. I graduated from college in '83. Which is
not
an era defined by ginormous perms and acid washed jeans, but the year that
Murmur
was released. Hmph. The eighties were all about the glorious indie rock revolution! Husker Du, Replacements, R.E.M., Meat Puppets and X!
I got some good news yesterday! The editor from the journal Oxford American emailed me and Kim and told us that he loved Lost in the Grooves and he invited us to pitch for some upcoming issues. This is good because aside from the actual books getting published, I don't get published that much.
