dB Ok, I tried this on Red with no success. I hope you guys participate.

To all of us, there are special bits of writing, or dialogue from a film, or whatever. A bunch of words that makes something in your brain click.
I'd like to hear what words you hold close to you. They mey be your own, or someone elses that you would have written yourself if they hadn't beaten you to it, or it may be a few lines from your favorite movie. Whatever they are, let's have 'em.

Here's mine:

Hold the calls. (long pause) I'm here, I'm here every night, I come up here every night. This is my job, this is what I do for a living. I come up here and I do the best I can. I give you the best I can. I can't do better than this. I can't. I'm only a human being up here. I'm not God... uh...alot of you out there are not...I may not be the most popular guy in the world. That's not the point. I really don't care what you think about me. I mean, who the hell are you anyway? You..."the audience"... you call me up and you try to tell me things about myself...you don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You've never seen me. You don't know what I look like. You don't know who I am, what I want, what I like, what I don't like in this world. I'm just a voice. A voice in the wilderness ...And you, like a pack of wolves descend on me, 'cause you can't stand facing what it is you are and what you've made...Yes, the world is a terrible place! Yes, cancer and garbage disposals will get you! Yes, a war is coming. Yes, the world is shot to hell and you're all goners.

Everything's screwed up and you like it that way, don't you? You're fascinated by the gory details. You're mesmerized by your own fear! You revel in floods and car accidents and unstoppable diseases....You're happiest when others are in pain!

And that's where I come in, isn't it? I'm here to lead you by the hand through the dark forest of your own hatred and anger and humiliation. I'm providing a public service. You're so scared! You're like the little child under the covers. You're afraid of the bogeyman, but you can't live without him. Your fear, your own lives have become entertainment! Tomorrow night, millions of people are going to be listening to this show, and you have nothing to talk about.

Marvelous technology is at our disposal and instead of reaching up for new heights, we try to see how far down we can go...how deep into the muck we can immerse ourselves!

What do you want to talk about? Baseball scores? Your pet? Orgasms? You're pathetic. I despise each and every one of you. You've got nothing, absolutely nothing. No brains, no power, no future. No hope. No God.

The only thing you believe in is me. What are you if you don't have me? I'm not afraid, see? I come up here every night and I make my case, I make my point. I say what I believe in. I have to, I have no choice. You frighten me. I come up her every night and I tear into you, I abuse you, I insult you...and you just keep calling.

Why do you keep coming back? What's wrong with you? I don't want to hear any more, I've had enough. Stop talking. Don't call anymore. Go away.

Bunch of yellow-bellied, spineless, bigoted, quivering, drunken, insomniatic, paranoid, disgusting, perverted, voyeuristic little obscene phone callers. That's what you are. Well, to hell with ya.

I don't need your fear or your stupidity. You don't get it. It's wasted on you. Pearls before swine.

If one person out there had any idea what I was talking about...(starts taking callers again) Fred, you're on!





Hope you like 'em, and add your own.

*Much Peace*

sim "Japanese submarine slammed two topedoes into our side, Chief. Was coming back from the Island of Tinian Leyte. Just delievered the bomb, the Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that when your in the water Chief? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light Chief, sharks come cruisin' so we formed ourseleves into tight groups. Kinda' like old squares in a battle. Like you see on a calender like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, shark comes to the nearst man that man, he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin'. Sometime' the shark go away... sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya... right into your eyes... and another thing about a shark. He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites you. Then those black eyes roll over white. And then... well you hear that terrible high pitch screamin'. The ocean turns red, despite all the poundin and hollerin' ...they all come in and rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hunded men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I don't know how many men, they averged six an hour. On Thursday morning Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robertson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. Reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water like a kinda' top. Upended. Well he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, mister Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and saw us. A young pilot, alot younger than Mr. Hooper... anyway he saw us and he come in low, and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know, that was the time when I was most frightened, waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb." 010606

JEFF: Man! This stuff is great! It's just as if Donovan himself had appeared on my very own TV with words of peace, love, and eternal cosmic wisdom . . . ! Leading me. Guiding me. On paths of everlasting pseudo-karmic negligence, in the very midst of my drug-induced nocturnal emission.
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Oh, I am your good conscience, Jeff. I know all. I see all. I am a cosmic love pulse matrix, become a technicolor interpositive!
JEFF: Okay . . . Where'd you buy that incense? It's hip.
GOOD CONSCIENCE: It's the same and mysterious exotic oriental fragrance as what the Beatles get off on.
JEFF: I thought I recognized it . . . Sniff, sniff . . . Mmm, what is that, MUSK? Sniff, sniff, sniff . . . mmmh!
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Jeff, I know what's good for you.
JEFF: Right. You're heavy.

BAD CONSCIENCE: Piss off, you little nitwit!
JEFF: Hey man, what's the deal?
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Don't listen to him, Jeff, he's no good. He'll make you do BAD THINGS!
JEFF: You mean, he'll make me sin?
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Yes, Jeff. SIN!
JEFF: Wow!
BAD CONSCIENCE: Jeff, I'd like to have a word with you . . . about your soul.
GOOD CONSCIENCE: No, don't listen, Jeff.
BAD CONSCIENCE: Why are you wasting your life, night after night playing this comedy music?
JEFF: You're right, I'm too heavy to be in this group.
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Comedy music . . .
BAD CONSCIENCE: Jeff, YOUR SOUL!

Oh . . .
He's
Too heavy to
Be . . .

JEFF: In this group, all I ever get to do is play Zappa's comedy music. HE EATS!
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Jeff!
JEFF: I get so tense!
BAD CONSCIENCE: Of course you do, my boy.
JEFF: The stuff he makes me do is always off the wall!
BAD CONSCIENCE: That's why it would be best to leave his stern employ.
JEFF: And quit the group!
BAD CONSCIENCE: You'll make it big!
JEFF: That's right.
BAD CONSCIENCE: Of course!

JEFF: Cough, cough. Ahmet Ertegun used this towel as a bathmat six weeks ago at a rancid motel in Orlando, Florida, with the highest MILDEW rating of any commercial lodging facility within the territorial limits of the United States, naturally excluding tropical possessions . . . It's still damp. What an aroma! This is the best I ever got off! What can I say about this elixir? Try it on steaks! Cleans nylons! Small craft warnings! It's made for the home! The office! On fruits!
BAD CONSCIENCE: This is the real you, Jeff. Rip off a few more ashtrays. Get rid of some of that inner tension. Quit the comedy group! Get your own group together. Heavy! Like GRAND FUNK! Or BLACK SABBATH . . .
GOOD CONSCIENCE: No, Jeff . . .
JEFF: Like COVEN!
GOOD CONSCIENCE: Peace . . . Love . . .
BAD CONSCIENCE: Bollocks!
JEFF: What can I say about this elixir?

MARK: Jeff has gone out there on that stuff!
BAD CONSCIENCE: He should have never have used the elixir and only stuck to the incense. Oh, Atlantis . . .
MARK: That was BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, dressed up like Donovan, fading out on the wall-mounted TV screen. Jeff IS flipping out. Road fatigue! We've got to get him back to normal before Zappa finds out, and steals it, and makes him do it in the movie!
BAD CONSCIENCE: You have a brilliant career ahead of you, my boy, Just GET OUT OF THIS GROUP!
MARK: Howard, that was Studebacher Hoch, dressed up like Jim Pons, giving career guidance to the bass player of a rock-oriented comedy group. Jeff's imagination has gone beyond the fringe of audience comprehension.
HOWARD: Jeff, Jeff, it's me, the Phlorescent Leech!
MARK: Jeff, Jeff, it's me, Eddie!

WOWWWW!
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS ELIXIR!

MARK (right channel): Put it on your steaks, uh, send it overseas, [...] ground, and put it on you surfboard so you won't slip off. Try it on your [Jim Bean Boy], and on the, the red balloons, you can blow up all balloons with it. Put it on your . . . heh . . . on . . . on your pizza. Put it on your shoes, tie your mic with it, and fill up your tires with it.

HOWARD (center): Use it to clean your swimming pool, sell it to your mother and tell her it's a Rit tie-dye kit, you won't even believe what'll happen when you starch your shirt with it, ironing goes easier and your car windows never looked better in your whole life. Ladies and gentlemen, you can inhale it, and it makes your voice three keys higher, and you can't even stand what happens when you put it on your hair, as hair tonic. Heh, heh. And if you ever tried it as a . . .

JIM PONS (left channel): Soak your shirts in it, soak your teeth in it. Let it play the piano. Follow it around the block. Wear it instead of jeans. Bathe your puppies with it. Feed it to your ducks. Use it instead of chlorine in your swimming pool. Breathe it. Love it.

What?
WOWWWWWW!
What can I?

What can I say about this?

3. Does This Kind Of Life Look Interesting To You?


Dee-goo-pee-oo-poo
Ta-dan!

BAD CONSCIENCE: Does this kind of life look interesting to you? Night after night, dinners with Herb Cohen. Thrill-packed, fun-filled evenings on the French Riviera at the MIDEM convention. A big tie, the whole bit. Watch Mutt eat, and Leon feed the geese. One thousand green business cards, with your name and the wrong address. Plus six royalty statements, inspected and customized by ran toon tan han toon frammet and dee. Followed by twelve potential suicides as the members of your group, past and present, find out they can't collect unemployment. A dog, a car, an epidemic of body lice with your own record company, your name on the door, electric buzzer to the inner office, Ona's tits, and a three month supply of German bookings with tickets on Air Rangoon. Does this kind of life look interesting to you? As a big rock and roll guitar player in a comedy group?

HOWARD:
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah

MARK: Hiya friends. Now just be honest about it. Did you ever consider the possiblity that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that the size of the titties themselves might provide elements of sub-conscious tension? Weird, twisted anxieties that could force a human being to have to become a politician! A policeman! A jesuit monk
HOWARD?: [...]
MARK: A rock and roll guitar player! A wino! You name it. Or in the case of the ladies, the ones that can't afford a silicone BEEF-UP, may become writers of hot books
HOWARD: "Manuel, the gardener, placed his burning phallus in her quivering quim."
MARK: Yes, or they become Carmelite nuns!
HOWARD: "Gonzo, the lead guitar player, placed his mutated member in her slithering slit." Ha ha ha!
MARK: Ooh, or racehorse jockeys. There is no reason why you, or your loved one should suffer. Things are bad enough, without the size of your organ adding even more misery to the TROUBLES OF THE WORLD!
HOWARD: Right on, right on!
MARK: Now, if your a lady and you've got munchkin tits, you can console yourself with this age-old line from primary school:
MARK & HOWARD: ANYTHING OVER A MOUTHFUL IS WASTED! YES!
MARK: And isn't it the truth? And if you're a guy, one night you're at a party and you're trying to be cool, I mean, you aren't even wearing any underwear, you're being so cool, and somebody hits on you one night, and looks you up and down and he says, uh . . .
HOWARD: Eight inches or less?
MARK: Well let me tell you, brothers, that's the time when you got to turn around and look that sonofabitch right between the eyes, and you got to tell him these words:

(Save for your chrome-with-heavy-duty-leather-thong Peace Medallion, heh . . . ) And make you assume a series of marginally erotic poses involving . . . a plastic chair and . . . an old guitar strap while I . . . did a wee-wee in your hair and . . . beat you with a pair of tennis shoes . . .

ClairE Fra Lippo Lippi is too long, so:

A Toccata of Galuppi's

1
Oh Galuppi, Baldassare, this is very sad to find!
I can hardly misconceive you; it would prove me deaf and blind;
But although I take your meaning, 'tis with such a heavy mind!

2
Here you come with your old music, and here's all the good it brings.
What, they lived once thus at Venice where the merchants were the kings,
Where Saint Mark's is, where the Doges used to wed the sea with rings?

3
Ay, because the sea's the street there; and 'tis arched by...what you call
...Shylock's bridge with houses on it, where they kept the carnival:
I was never out of England--it's as if I saw it all.

4
Did young people take their pleasure when the sea was warm in May?
Balls and masks begun at midnight, burning ever to mid-day,
When they made up fresh adventures for the morrow, do you say?

5
Was a lady such a lady, cheeks so round and lips so red--
On her neck the small face buoyant, like a bellflower on its bed,
O'er the breast's superb abundance where a man might base his head?

6
Well, and it was graceful of them--they'd break talk off and afford
--She, to bite her mask's black velvet--he, to finger on his sword,
While you sat and played Toccatas, stately at the clavichord?

7
What? Those lesser thirds so plaintive, sixths diminished, sigh on sigh,
Told them something? Those suspensions, those solutions--"Must we
die?"
Those commiserating sevenths--"Life might last! we can but try!"

8
"Were you happy?" "Yes." "And are you still as happy?" "Yes. And you?"
"Then, more kisses!" "Did *I* stop them, when a million seemed so few?"
Hark, the dominant's persistence till it must be answered to!

9
So, an octave struck the answer. Oh, they praised you, I dare say!
"Brave Galuppi! that was music! good alike at grave and gay!
"I can always leave off talking when I hear a master play!"

10
Then they left you for their pleasure: till in due time, one by one,
Some with lives that came to nothing, some with deeds as well undone,
Death stepped tacitly and took them where they never see the sun.

11
But when I sit down to reason, think to take my stand nor swerve,
While I triumph o'er a secret wrung from nature's close reserve,
In you come with your cold music till I creep through every nerve.

12
Yes, you, like a ghostly cricket, creaking where a house was burned:
"Dust and ashes, dead and done with, Venice spent what Venice earned.
"The soul, doubtless, is immortal--where a soul can be discerned.

13
"Yours for instance: you know physics, something of geology,
"Mathematics are your pastime; souls shall rise in their degree;
"Butterflies may dread extinction--you'll not die, it cannot be!"

14
"As for Venice and her people, merely born to bloom and drop,
"Here on earth they bore their fruitage, mirth and folly were the crop:
"What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?

15
"Dust and ashes!" So you creak it, and I want the heart to scold.
Dear dead women, with such hair, too--what's become of all the gold
Used to hang and brush their bosoms? I feel chilly and grown old.

-Robert Browning. Isn't the end creepy?
