It's you. How are you? I'm fine, thanks. And you? Oh! I already asked you that. How are you? Ha-ha!
How are you?
Oh... Oh! How are you? How are you! Ha-ha!
Fuck-
That's how you do it, folks. That's having a big boys and girls' conversation. It's fucking shite. It shouldn't go like this, though. That is a bad example. The thing is, though, it often does. It often does.
The world is a wild place for the wee. It's full of pitfalls like the above aborted conversation. The pure of heart are no match for the brutality of such a world. It's a wonder that I get through at all, at all.
When I was wee, I had some stunning misconceptions about things. Do you know the game Altered Beast? I had only read it, the title, I had never heard it said, and thought it was called Alerted Beast. A subtle, yet important difference. Alerted Beast is better, no? More active, somehow.
I thought that people had to have sex in the hospital, on the operating table, to make a baby be born.
All the wee don't have a clue about things.
When I was wee, I didn't like chips, or any food, I think. I must have ate dust or something. I ran everywhere.
I wore a red vest.
I was the lead character in many books aimed at children (in my enfeebled child brain).
I can't fucking wait 'til Summer. Summer here is class, so green and hot. It's the best time, and I think about it every day. Winter is a cunt (but not that, bad, not so bad).
I plan to lead an idyllic Huckleberry Finn-like existence with Wee Sarah on the banks of the St-Lawrence. We'll grow our own food, hunt, swim about all day and ambush wayfarers for money and all.
I can't wait!
Oh Neal, I ruddy love your blog, it makes me laugh and feel a bit teary when you mention the wonders of wee chub chub. Yes I'm an emotional cripple but you're great at telling a story, wee chub chub is going to be entertained growing up I feel!
ReplyDeleteI agree with dear Leftovers. It's quite amazing considering the amount of questions I usually get from Neal. In real life, he's the one who asks stories. Well, the reason is : the NCWC is not Neal, he's the man Neal would love to be. Neal can't wear a "red vest" at work. It made him so sad he created the NCWC. Long live the NCWC! And Neal as well!
