Da Bear. I'll only let you down, Gary Babasass Yogi Mahesh Hootchie. And, I don't want that on my karma, dawg. I mean, like, your karma could run over my dawg, dawg. See what I'm saying? What if you read in the papers that I'm out spending my guru money on German goo goo porn queens and hashish and then it gets on the Internet with all these pictures and everything of the sordid event and me in a very compromising position with all my devotees trying to pretend it aint really happening and I'm backpeddling like a mofo trying to fend off these civil suits, and, I mean, then, what's gonna happen to you? Why, you'd be crestfallen, if not stricken with grief and remorse, pulling your hair out and threatening suicide and becoming all self-destructive and everything. And, then I'd have to answer all these questions about my personal habits and what's in my medicine chest and what's on my C-file and just how much of that guru money am I raking in, anyhow, and, all such interrogations as that. I can't deal with that. It's too much BS. I just like to sit here in my boxer shorts in all my anonymity and eat clam chowder and write silly emails to hillbilly gurus down there near the Blue Ridge Mountain Blues Groove. It's so much easier. I love this postmodern age. I can turn it off and on whenever I want. Just a mouse click away. It's, like, virtual, man. OK. What was the question, again? ( " It's always something " , Annadanna Roseannadanna replies). Yours, too, Yogi Boo Boo Fuzzie Butt Ananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
