Sleepwalking on the Cloud 9

Dead tired. Our second date went later than expected. Took her to CSC down in Cabbage Town. We talked over red wine and an almond-honey glazed brie. Afterwards we walked around the neighborhood. I gave her the two dollar tour of all the old homes and eccentric gardens. Streams of Christmas lights hung like vines from driveways. Red bulbs lit up quiet windows. Toy dolls and silverware rose from the soil side by side with roses and gardenias. Morning Glorys grew wild around a 'No Parking' sign. The scent of Jasmine and Honeysuckle hung in the still air. She took my hand. She smiled at my nervous smile.

Straight Up Disco Karate Pimpin' !!!

In my daydreams these women are my elite personal bodyguard unit paid to follow me around my Disco a Go-Go Dojo to ensure my protection against threats both foriegn and domestic. I have the splendid afro of my youth back, wear nothing but a black silk robe with a red embroidered dragon on it with only an old West gun belt slung around the hips to keep the folds closed. Oh and don't forget the pair of mirrored shades I would never take off.

Occasionally I would get to shout out something like -
"Can youuuuuuu Diiiiig it?"

and they shout back with an enthusiastic
"HELL YEAH!!!"

Upon which I get to say something cool like-
"I want the Warriors. I want... all the Warriors... alive if possible... if not Wasted!"

"Warrrrrrriors....come out and plaaaaayyyyyy"

It's no secret to anyone who knows me, even in passing, that I consider The Warriors to be one of the best movies of all time. When I first saw it as a kid on Channel Five up in NY with my Mom, there were a bunch of scenes in it that I never saw again on either the VCR or Digital versions. One of which was what I call the 'Line Up' scene, where Cleon explains why he chose these particular characters for the big gang meeting up in the Bronx. After my prior Karate Disco Pimping post, I did a Warriors Deleted scene search on youtube and lo and behold after 25 some odd years later I found them!!! Now if only there was someway to get the studio to rerelease the movie with these shots added back in. Until then here's a couple of hot links to what i'm talking about.

Deleted Scene 1:Role Call
Deleted Scene 2:"Are you sure this is the way.."
Deleted Scene 3: Preach Cyrus!
Deleted Scene 5: The Gramecy Riff owns the cops?

Oh Pooh...

Coffee & Cigarettes - not just for breakfast anymore!

This is one cat that knows the score! Nothing takes care of a post pussy-patrol hang over like that first drag of the morning. Meanwhile dig Tabby Wino's white chalk lined hallucinations in the corner ... apparently this cat was out all night riding on a scooter, smoking a fattie and on his way to Ska-raoke night over on the West End. Forget Joe Camel, this cat could single handedly triple the under 18 cigarette market.

Also note ladies, sometimes when we say 'let's do coffee' we're thinking...

Don't forget Mothers Day this Sunday...

One more before I head out...

No Mothers Day would be complete without this little number...

... there are still rumors circling around that Danzig was actually the reanimated corpse of Jim Morrison bought back to life by some nefarious A&R using cutting edge advances in modern steroid technology. These are only rumors though, much like the rumor that he was going to play 'Wolverine' in the X-Men movie and that he's actually a Goth Hobbit from a parallel universe where Sauron got the Ring.
