The Ghoul

I got hardcore surrealist programming on my system as a small child; simultaneously I was hipped to wonderful, awful, and wonderfully awful horror films.
I am forever grateful to......

The Ghoul!







I just figured he had an outlet for all his mad, vast energies: the world'd be a duller place if he took Ritalin. Eh what old thing?

People will do what they will do. People will also use "perceptions" gained through their faulty (at best) "senses" to evaluate other people's behavio/ur; to deem it 'good,' 'bad,' or 'odd.'


I remember that somehow all this was so much better with the polka music blasting.

I know not why.

Hiya kids! Hiya hiya hiya!

Froggy!!

The Great Phoning the henry ford Museum Adventure - Late July 2007



I rang the henry ford Museum t'other day and asked whether they have any Amphicars.





The operator who answered hung up on me after I'd been on hold about 90 seconds.

I called back. She didn't apologize for ringing off and transferred my call to someone who hadn't a clue.

The clueless one put someone else on the line after a short wait.



"You're looking for a what?" he said when I asked if they have an Amphicar. "A [insert thoroughly misheard non-word]?"


[Very slowly] "Am-phi-car. A-M-P-H-I. It's amphibious."


Silence. I looked over at mom, and she looked horrified. I smiled at her and said into the phone, "You can drive it into the water."



"Oh! Oh! Oh, no. Oh, no. I've been here nine years and I've never seen anything like that; nothing that's amphibious."


"'K! Thank you!" and I hung up and looked at my still-horrified-looking mom. "You only heard half the conversation,"

"I know," she told me. "You have my sympathy."
