Is it tough being famous? Sure. Do I miss being an anonymous genius, now that I’m a merely a genius? Of course. Would I give it up? Not on your life.
“Hey, Thoughts on the Dead! Does your penis need touching?”
It’s so I can’t leave the house sometimes, but I feel like my celebrity is a good thing; not because of the good it can help me accomplish, but for the private gain it can help me accrue.
Why spend so much time goofing on a semi-defunct choogly-type band? Beats me; this wasn’t the dream. I wanted to be a salvage diver, or a disgraced congressman, or invent a machine that did things to trees.
No one ever said that life was fair.
How else do we know that life is not fair? Well, these two men are multi-millionaires:


Hey! Called to listen to your fifteen minutes and in the process I won tickets to the New York showing. Thanks, pal. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
Top notch!
TotD doing it for the people!
Stupid question, who’s the guy on the left?
not a stupid question, I don’t know either.
I heard your last 30 seconds as I got in the car after the Phillies game. Your name is Rick?
Who is the little fellow with Mayer?
My radio name is Rick, yes. That is Andy Cohen who as close as I can tell is a professional homosexual.
What would your machine do to the trees?
I was clear: things.
Is that a rainbow behind those two guys? It doesn’t look like any rainbow I have ever seen.
That’s actually the Coming of the Fourth Voldronii, the Bringer of the McKittrick Supplication.
Who can the weather command?
It certainly dictates what I am wearing.
Don’t you live on an island in the South Pacific? Unpredictable climate you got?
Not that unpredictable. Mostly my wardrobe is full of T shirts and shorts. I wear shorts around the house and add the T shirts when I go out, to create the illusion of respectability. However, since most of my T shirts would fit right in with Mickey’s selection, the practised eye is able to penetrate my disguise.
Because it is either hot and humid or hot and raining, a golf umbrella is a useful accessory.
