Beat Godfather Meets Glitter Mainman

Bowie: I'm not at ease with the word 'love'.

Burroughs: I'm not either.

Bowie: I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love..... that we decide to put all our values on another person. It's like two pedestals, each wanting to be the other pedestal.

Burroughs: I don't think that 'love' is a useful word. It is predicated on a separation of a thing called sex and a thing called love and that they are separate. Like the primitive expressions in the old South when the woman is on a pedestal, and the man worshipped his wife and then went out and fucked a whore. It is primarily a Western concept and then it extended to the whole flower power thing of loving everybody. Well, you can't do that because the interests are not the same.

Best of CL: Prell??


You threw your lit cigarette at my face outside Starbucks - m4w


Date: 2009-07-13, 5:23PM EDT

I'm sorry I wasn't able to stop and chat --- I was in such a rush to do my errands --- but you too seemed to be in a giant rush to run inside and grab your extra-whip venti white chocolate mocha. You were in such a hurry that even after your friend pointed out how close your cig came to burning my face, you didn't have time to say "sorry" or "excuse me." Anyway, I just wanted to write to let you know how much I love it when Big Beautiful Women wear pajama pants/tee-shirt ensembles out in public. It conveys a postmodern "I've totally given up on life" attitude that so many men find intoxicating. Additionally, your hair was exquisite. I can tell that your life is so full of fun and adventure that you don't even have time to buy a bottle of Prell, but there's nothing more exciting than a woman on the go.

Listen, I'm sure you have far too many male suitors for you to even consider reading Craigslist missed connections, but on the off chance that you see this and you haven't been felled by heart disease or any of the myriad cancers you're courting ... I'd love to take you and your slightly less-hot friend to dinner. We'll have all the things you love! I envision beginning with some wings, then moving on to a few chicken parms, some buckets of General Tso's, even more buckets of the Colonel's extra-crispy, a jalapeno-popper palate cleanser, followed by approximately 27 stuffed-crust pizzas, as many McDonald's #2 value meals as you can eat before you get bored, and finally a jaunt to Cheesecake Factory for dessert. And at the end of the night, if you're still hungry (no doubt about that) and feeling in the mood (fingers crossed!), we can end with some edible underwear and a Colt 45 fountain.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Last Suppers

James Reynolds has created a series of photographs documenting former Death Row prisoners' requests for their last meal before execution. These photos were so striking, that I couldn't pick just a couple.
Why the hell not? Who cares about arteries at this time. Bring on the KFC!
Oh, what a thoughtful inmate. No one wants their last exhale to be anything but minty fresh. Is this to mask the tears?
Prisoner #589641350179: Anna Wintour?
1 dry ass cracker, coming up!
Hmmm... c'mon, go wild, why doncha?
That's more like it!
Prisoner #456881235166: David Sedaris?
Prisoner #351896725116: Cool Hand Luke?
Prisoner #758283140953625: Homer Simpson?

What would you order for your last meal?


I would hands down order a meatloaf cake with a scorpion bowl to wash it down.

Watch out boy, she'll chew you up.


She'll only come out at night, the lean and hungry type
Nothing is new I've seen her here before…Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see what you think you're getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Money's the matter, if you're in it for love, you ain't gonna get too far

(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) she's a maneater

I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can do
She's deadly, man, she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter, ooh, the beauty is there, but a beast is in the heart

(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) she's a maneater

Ooooooooooh ooh (Oh oh, here she comes) here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes, watch out) she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes, she's a maneater) Ooh, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) Here she comes, she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes, watch out) She'll only come out at night, oo
(Oh oh, here she comes) Here she comes, she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes, she's a maneater) the woman is wild
(Oh oh, here she comes) here she comes
Watch out, boy, watch out, boy (Oh oh, here she comes)
Oh watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out
(Oh oh, here she comes) Yeah yeah, she's a maneater
(Oh oh, here she comes, she's a maneater) She's watching and waiting
(Oh oh, here she comes) Oh, she's a maneater

To all my party people!



Hangover Cure: Bacon Sandwich


"Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good."

Ms Roberts told The Mirror: "Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head."


Researchers also found a complex chemical interaction in the cooking of bacon produces the winning combination of taste and smell which is almost irresistible.

The reaction between amino acids in the bacon and reducing sugars in the fat is what provides the sandwich with its appeal.

I hope you don't need it, but incase you do...you can read more about it at the Telegraph.
