Homo On the Range

would gay cowboys sing this? if Wayne Newton had been into Country/Western music, would he have recorded “Donkeyshame?’…obscure reference for you older folks…riddle me this: if Yoko Ono had married Cher’s ex-husband and then re–married the lead singer of U2, would she be Yoko Ono Bono Bono?

Mr Dory and the Mime, fighting over market share/turf/cobblestones on 5ta earlier…the magic dude has the Que Pasa article ready to flash, so the Mime left early…why are there so many Guatemaltecos in town tonight? yeah, there was a wedding but that doesn’t explain the crowds..Kay and Ralph(embassy folk)seen on 5ta…’offered to buy ’em a drink if we ran into each other later…nope…great people…straight talk, very interesting backgrounds..
Nelson and Karla sighting! moving their stuff outa O’lot for a gig tonight at Abbasi, the Indian restaurant next to Casa Fuente…he played there earlier this week at the behest(request)of the Antigua Curry Club and the owners asked him to return…kinda a strange marriage but if it works, it works..
in the back room of the restaurant, some artifacts…among which, as i explained to the owner, were two ‘pan’ boxes…he being iranian(and they prefer to be called persians, btw)didn’t know of the ‘pan’ concept…in Injah, where i spent too much time, they chew, suck and salivate betel nuts..a pan box contains the leaves, lime powder, a nut cracker and betel nuts…crush the nuts(ouch) sprinkle lime powder on the small green leaf, add the crushed nut, fold and pop it into a cheek or gum…kinda like doin’ Skoal or Copenhagen..it’s a mild high and not worth the effort unless you like red teeth, gums and lips…plus spitting a lot…red spit…o boy..go figure..those hindu wackos..
if I’d had powdered lime when i was last in Cuzco, having bought those two baggies fulla coca leaf, things mighta been better(everything goes better with Coke)
Piano Mike and Moriah at Caffe Bourbon, pulling in the crowds from the street…no one else in this burg has that effect…except maybe the Gallo Girls..
oops..’meant the Brahva Babes…’had to squint at the logo…and very very closely…Neil of Pangea on deck at 7ish…Shaun of O’lot left early..whipped…Dos Reilly’s doing an xlnt crowd, early on…DV doing some dinner biz, as was Chez Christophe..Tutti Mary del Mar still on the menu at Napoli and i thought she’d left town last week.
a few clusters of t-shirted christian groups lining up to chow down…Las Palmas? saving people works up an appetite, i guess..WWJD? slurp the wine, pass the bread and fondle Mary Magdalen, I spose..let’s see, there’s a table of 13 so how much of a tip do we leave? 30 pieces of silver divided by the daily currency conversion rate is…how much is that in quetzals?
Carla of O’lot is back…will return to the helm on Tuesday..
welcome home!
and thanks for putting that rumor to rest that those of us with DPI cards could vote in the mayoral election…here’s my ballot…
- count every vote
the planned excursion to Take-a-Lick Abaj has been put off for a few days…’still on…it’s really past the town of Rita-Hey-You, which I can’t pronounce..those Mayan goofballs….why not something simple, like Ramalamadingdong? probably all those psychedelics they consumed(and leaving not much for the rest of us)…nope, i’m passing on the bufo marinus…and doubly so on the jimson weed.
