Mr. Trout's neighbor


Art: Kurt Vonnegut and Joe Petro III

I just saw Kurt Vonnegut on The Daily Show with Jon Stewert. It was a rerun. He was talking a little about evolution, as it was Evolution Schmevolution week at The Daily Show. Then there was a commercial for a pizza topped with steak. And after that was either a car commercial or a talking gecko – hard to remember. And it dawned on me that I might as well be living next door to *Kilgore Trout and not even realize it.

The world is a weird place. And to quote Mr. Vonnegut…err a Martian visitor

“WHAT IS IT, WHAT CAN IT POSSIBLY BE ABOUT BLOW JOBS AND GOLF?”

*(Holy shit, me too… I had no idea).

(Previously discussed here)

“No More Games. No More bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun—for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax—This won’t hurt.”
