Today they’re children, intimidated by smart, successful women for all I care they can stay putstereoytypically in their parents basement.

Nevermind then

                  Watching His Girl Friday woud lay you to waste ya coudnt keep up Seeing it again provided me two curious instances Ive missed in the past soapbox spellbinders an production for use production for use production for use Mantric

Steve Miller Band  Fly Like An Eagle  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuXwSyahgW4

he didnt care for names that were the first letters of a persons first and middle names guys reduced to say  his buddy BJ

     his entire name was Bob James Smith  

                                                until he received the sacrament of Confirmation and took John how fuckin monotonous as his second middle name Bob James John Smith  he often called him Duh Duh Duh Duh to BJs chagrin  

he went by BJ because he was called that at home

eventually as any good friend would  and should 

                                                      invited to eat over one evening he mentioned to Bobbys parents at the dinner table he refused to called him BJ that their influence calling Bobby BJ was unkind

How so? they asked 

Well to be honest with you he represents not onewhich is bad enough but several 

he peered at them both 

                         they sat side by sidewhich he thought was crazy too his father sat at the head of the table his mother across from his father at the  for lack of a better term at the foot of the table though he believed their seating was actually strategic from where they sat he his brothers and sisters were not out of harms way out of hands reach

no lights went on he couldnt believe nobody was home   he continued 

                                                                           When I say several I mean that Bobbys last namehis last initial is S Hes B J S  CRICKETS 

                                                 Soo he continued Bobbys nickname is not only Blow Job but Blow Jobs 

I assume you know what a blow job is if I know what it is 

they asked him to go home NOW. 

he supposed he could take his hamburger with him

he wrapped it in the paper napkin beside his plate

LEAVE IT.

What a gyp he thought he left  politely excused himself 

                                                           at his back he heard little Marjorie asked Mommy, what’s a blow job? 

his parents greeted him at the back door 

he was too big to spank

they were tonguetied

hadnt witnessed that before 

                               Lemme guess Im grounded until Im old enough to leave home

What were you thinking?

   I said what I was thinking I think Bobbys gonna be called Bobby or Bob from here on out by his family an then in kind by everyone else  Its my first campaign

he looked at his dad

                     he was was a Republican precinct captain 

Go up to your room, please. You’re calling it a night.

I think rather you’re calling it a night 

                                         Goodnight 

it wasnt necessarily a bad thing

he was reading the Complete and Unabridged Edition of Candy by Maxwell Kenton

You could suppos . .

            Whamight you suppose  Its your pocketbook bank account Fort Knox vault pun intended   

Alright. I could suppose I’ll get what I pay for.

      Sympathy.

They aint dead

What do you want me to say?

No. Not at all.

                You take it and it waits on you.

Anif she aint in the mood 

                            interrupts him  Thenif she wakes amorous Will it be there in the morning

I wouldn’t think so.

Kinda sounds like the tyranny of the basal thermometer in the hands of a woman firmly pun intended fervently determined to get pregnant 

                       My BBT says NOW!

BBT?   I don’t know what that is.

I didnt either 

               I made an educated guess given the subject

What’s the subject?

What youre subjected to grabbed by the scruff of the neck aint romantic its cool clinical  Maybe ya ask for a nickel for every clinical sperm donation 

                                 BBT  Or    Are you as stupid as you look

Gullible giddyingup right behind ya or sharing your saddle

he chuckled 

             under his breath Arya tha desperate  Listen man A love letter to a steady aint comparable to an I-wanna-fuck online dating resume 

Well. Actually . . ifya think about . they’re pretty similar.

he stood took his cup While I’m gone, begin professor. I’m anxious to hear your, my, bottom line.

as he left he printed them side by sidewas pretty sure which was the nadir 

buddy returned with the coffees and two more sweet rolls laughing as he satseeing his expression 

                                                                                                         Ya might say I’m on a roll.
