If you can't say anything nice, say something surreal.
I'd have to say that the greatest day of my life was when Edgar Martinez and I put on our squirrel suits and surreptitiously poured linseed oil into every shoe on display in the downtown Nordstrom's. The only thing that could ever top that would be eating lemon sorbet out of Meredith Vierra's skull.
Ribbons feel like the souls of deep sea fish. Crustaceans drink the inky scratchings of nineteenth century accountants. I saw a three legged cat and it told me to never stop loving.
If one were to stack every leaf that ever grew, one atop the other, in a great green ziggurat of profound life reaching up through the clouds and brushing the moon itself, catching a crosstown bus would be even more difficult than it is now. On the other hand, mice would be much better dancers.
Now it is the inverno of our discontent, which obtains out these nets of York and all the clouds were renderings with gloreich, that it dropped on our put in the deep case of the buried ocean.
The intermittent annihilation of human faculties: whatever your thought might be inclined to suppose, those aren't just words. Like the executioner's axe, my eyes will seek out the mark. Three times, the executioner re-descended between the grooves with a novel vigor; three times, my material carcass, above all the base of the neck, was shaken to its foundations.
Hello, Salvador Dali!
Yes, hello, Dali!
It's so nice to have you back in my refrigerator.
It's hard to be surreal when there's a beautiful view outside of my window and... when did they replace the cows in that field with giraffes? And the bike path beside the highway has been redesignated "unicycles and penny-farthings only". There's a long line of dogs walking past my front door carrying picket signs saying "LOLCATS Unfair", "No more puppies in Paris' purse" and "When you gettin' a dog Wendell". Which is actually quite logical. The financial news says J.P. Morgan has given the Visa credit card company a rating of "overweight". And that's REAL NEWS.
