Arsenic Childhood Food
One of the most seminal bits from Bill Hicks’s seminal ‘Relentless’ performance seems to have something to say about something bookwise also, but instead of trying to rummage that, let’s just relive the Bill:
On the other hand, I enjoy creative marketing. Creative marketing is fun, if the product is actually worth having. Or if it’s not. People are trying to ‘learn to use the internet’ or are accidentally ‘having fun with the internet.’ I have found myself thinking about this a lot lately: promotional tools that do not feel like promotional tools.
I have had little to zero palpable results.
Mostly things just happen.
This blog post is apropos of nothing. Jimmy just deleted a post about Tao selling his myspace, after I commented saying it seemed obviously fake, I felt bad after that. I like ideas and thinking. I like thinking. ‘Hmmm.’
I remember the first thing I ever searched in a search engine when we finally got internet at my parents house on a computer in my room by myself: ‘jenny mccarthy nude.’ It was one of the best days of my life.
You didn’t have to market Jenny McCarthy’s tits to me. They were. [Subliminal shoutout to Ryan Downey.]
What is a book? Where is blood? I miss the TV show Hee-Haw, even though I never watched it when it was on. I like the band the Birthday Party, and that is one of my favorite band names for some reason.
None of the statements in this post have had any direct application or intent behind them, and that’s because they are genuine thoughts. Chew on that.
I’m going to bed.

dude “dead joe” and “big jesus trashcan soulmate” are two of my favorite songs of all fucking time.

Everything is traceable back to promotion in some way. Obviously. There are nice things like Penguin having Twitter contests about first-lines-from-books that just make you understand that least some people working there care about books. Forms a nice fuzzy general impression of Penguin. These people are Twittering most of the time being paid by Penguin. I’m sure it’s not part of their job description. I like it.

Bill Hicks is greatness. Just watched “Heckler” (Jamie Kennedy, who knew you were so sensitive) and they showed a classic clip of Bill screaming at a heckler, calling her the C bomb, telling her to get the fuck out of the place, screaming at her date to drag her away. Crowd loved it. Vintage.

good to know about the myspace account. i think selling your account is a violation of the terms agreement.

I saw NIck Cave perform in a small club in Berlin in 1985. It hurt. I actually was unable to stay for the whole thing because i was sort of a dumb 17 yr old- but at least I wasn’t so dumb I didn’t give it a try.
I still buy his records from time to time. There is a really funny song “God is in the House” on one of his recent ones.
St Nick looks like the sort of nice boy you’d really want to invite home to meet your grandparents in this clip:

I saw him live last year, and he’s definitely still got it. Even he was modelling the 70s sleaze baron look with the receding hairline, inadvisable ‘ache and even more inadvisable shiny shirt at the time.
‘Prolix, prolix, nothing a pair of scissors can’t fix’

don’t feel bad blake, i deleted the post because i came to realize that the ebay sale was probably fake, and that my posting it might reflect badly on htmlg, since we’re supposed to be a ‘reliable’ source.
i still feel bad about my urban dic post, of being corrected in the comments about how that book had already been made. i need to do more ‘research’ before i post.

I think- think only, do not know- he was refering to how little action was going on at the giant. usually, there are multiple posts in a day. Today- not a one, til now. I could be wrong.
