how to jump a diesel

With it’s twin batteries it took my whole fleet to get the Ford started. That’s my motorcycle ready to run for help.

Here’s a sure sign you have four women staying with you -I came out into the kitchen this morning to find a pair of underduds drying on the doorknob. Every good host should have a drying rack for the silky stuff. Now I know.

quadruple dutch

So the Dutch girls arrived yesterday. Steve sent them out from Massachusetts. They’ll be staying for four days. I took them immediately to The Lexington bar. It’s hard to know where to take four college girls from Amsterdam when your idea of a good time includes a trip to the dump and throwing rocks at street signs. The Lexington, a lesbian bar, was packed out the door since it was Pride weekend. They aren’t lesbians so it wasn’t so much fun for them. I’ll never be a tour guide.

“What do you call ‘going dutch’ in the Netherlands?” I asked.

“Splitting the bill,” she said with a withering tone.

“Do you know what Double Dutch means?” I asked, not catching on that this was racist and offensive.

“When the man wears a condom even though the girl is on the pill,” she said.

It was news to me. We googled it. She’s right.

“It must take some balls jumpin’ in that thing every mornin’.”

“It’s car art!”

“Yeah? I don’t like it.”

Overheard on the street at Fillmore and Geary.

How do edible undies work? What are you eating? An edible fabric? Is it made of fruit leather? Perhaps just the crotch is made of gum. Other than gum, very few foods are flexible enough to withstand so much movement. Bananas wouldn’t work. Sushi probably would. Or licorice. But what about the elastic waist?

If life begins at conception, could a man who has coitus with his pregnant wife be accused of child molestation?

Good night internet.

life in the big city

Went out to Poll’s motorcycle shop with my pal Erik to ask a few questions. There’s always folks hanging around, including this archer who started shooting at a box across the street.

Collin used to drink box wine, now he drinks booze bags. They come in the ice cream cooler at a liquor store around the corner. Frozen daiquiris with liquor already in it. Brilliant.

Haven’t seen Rusty Sunshine in months. First thing he does is show me the John Deere he got for a song. “Even has power steering,” he crooned.

Tall weeds, overgrown jade tree, sickly bulb plants. Dead leaves from the avocado tree everwhere and cement covered in dirt. Me and the fellahs put a good sprucing to it.
