Kiss Your Friends

There's a helicopter floating above the ground
attached to a rope that has a person hanging on
for his dear life and to the contraption that is causing our ill fate
which if enacted will cause the ill fate of many of us who,
mere onlookers, consider ourselves as entrenched in this man's
dear life as if it were our own because of course we're watching a movie.

It's called Die Hard II or III or whatever.

I love those movies and all of their brothers.

YippeeKaiAYE Happy New Year.

Friend Victoria Ruan was making cranberry short bread for her christmas party and I figured that was a lot of effort.  I like a good buttery cookie just as much as the next guy, but I wanted to know if it were worth  the effort.  So I googled it.



Whoever made that cookie, and made it come alive is a genius.  I heard about this stuff on CNN or whatever, but this is real.  The recipe was under the video, and it said, as you would guess : ginger, bread, baby, deli meat, dale's pale ale, christmas curveball.  If we could all figure out how to hold our fingers for the curveball, maybe more of our cookies would come alive.


Ginger Baby was even useful in the last moments as he trotted gleefully to a car stuck in the snow.  We can only imagine that at his touch the car itself became a ginger car pulled by ginger horses, because a christmas curveball, when enacted is passed by ginger touch.  Like Midas the King, except this gold brings laughter.   The many people touched passed along the curveball in their own ginger way, like having a party and everyone there wasn't actually invited.

On how to spread ginger cheer widely consult this video:

 

 

Now I am interested in how to hold my fingers for the christmas curveball.  I know if I could make a cookie come alive somehow or any kind of bakery product, I would tell everyone I knew so we could all be throwing christmas curveballs all over our respective towns.  If anyone has an idea please let me know.  I spent a lot of time googling it and this is what I found:

I think I'm missing some instructions.

FORIT

I'm not a speaker.
I'm not so bright.

I'm not what you chose for me.
I'm not your plight.

I'll have for me my own of course.
And mine I will have.

But I won't fight for you
the things you couldn't fight.

When you said to me
It's not of you I was made

When you said to me
it'll never be us be made.

When you said to me
find your own.

I said.

I'm looking
I'm looking.
