yep, what with an ounce of gold up OVER $1000 an ounce, no rancid pork chop is gonna kick my ass!! I didnt eat anything all day yesterday, drank LOTSA WATER, and slept from 8 pm to 5:30 am, and i was up and atem once again!! me and jon went to the starbux and drank a ton of coffee as usual, and my cast iron stomach is once again, back to normal!

this is just one of the perils of being homeless, you are at the mercy so to speak, of whoever is cooking whatever in the rescue mission kitchen. unless, of course, you have a bag o'cash, then you can be at the mercy of the chef at a good eating establishment, and PAY GOOD MONEY for your rancid pork chops! hahahaha!!!

about a month ago, i pitched a big ole bitch when they took one program member who IS A COOK, out of the kitchen, because he was caught at 4 AM on the innernet in the mission, checking his email!!! and they put in some slob who couldnt boil water!!! so, that night, we got served up baked chicken, and it was HALF COOKED!!!! oh, i raised holy high hell about that, and almost got the heave ho from it, but the director knew he messed up and soon enough the real cook was off his "punishment" and back in the kitchen, where he belonged!

i had a bowl of cereal and a baloney sandwich at connections this morning after coffee, and it had no ill effect, so, im good to go!

anyhoo, its saturday, all the way til midnight, local time, mr. sun is playing a major role in todays festivities, i got my bag o'rags WITH JACKET in the laundry at connections, so i dont have to drag it around all the day long, i can pick it up at 4 pm! so, this morning, after breakfast, i grabbed a shower and shave and made a costume change, so, now i look civilised once again, and im still waiting for my tax refund; and so while i wait, i decided im gonna sit here and swipe the friday five from my sweet pal, bindyree "hiya brin!!" so here it is with my answers!

When you travel, what kinds of souvenirs do you like to bring home for yourself?

usually, a clean fork, knife and spoon from a fine eatery, to use later on when im in the mission, especially comes in handy when all they give you to eat rancid pork chops with is a spork!

SPORK!

Is there a certain kind of souvenir you always bring back for a particular someone?

the certain kind of souvenir that fits geographically in the particular someones left foot or hand will generally do nicely, for reasons only known to the certain person, who is particular as to the type of souvenir they want to recieve.

Of the souvenirs you've collected from your travels, what are some that have special meaning for you?

a 2 ply roll of toilet paper that i absconded from the publick mens lavatory in The White House, long before 9/11 happened. now, to use that publick lavatory, you need a key to the door.

What's the silliest souvenir you've brought back for yourself, or what's the silliest souvenir someone has brought back for you?

i had an old bottle that used to be filled with coca cola that i found on the side of the road once, i believe it was along I-80 just outside of Davenport, Iowa. it was a special bottle, cause it was make of glass, and you could blow in it and make it sound like a fog horn!

If you were going to send someone a souvenir from places you visited today, what might it be?

I would send you a "nightwatch ticket". that way, if you come here and happen to be stck with no place to go, you can take that nightwatch ticket and go get a mat at the mission after hours!

well, the sun is still shining, the sea gulls are still eating, and not a cloud in the sky! time to read diarys and comment then go get me some soup and sandwich someplace!! hava swell weekend, and leave the rancid pork chop eating to us professionals!!

this has been a screen gems/filmways presentation!
