Good things come to those who wait. I located my half pint, it was under the cover on the couch. I started laughing. You should always keep your half pint hidden. Bottoms up, Shorty.

No, the biographer is full of shit. I am drinking nothing because that Cunt, Lady’s Bug, stole my three sixteens plus my half pint. I said Fuck You, I will go to the bar. Then I found out she also stole my cane, that nasty bitching fucking slut. I had to turn back, couldn’t make it. My remote for th...

What’s your first name Thompson, said Badfellow? I change it up. Right now I’m using Mumbles. I certainly don’t want to be confused with Hunter S. He is way out of my league. He is an artist. Yeah, he’s pretty good, said Badfellow. More like he’s real good. Yeah, Ladybug knows him, or has met him. I...

I think Meenie is pregnant, said Thompson. What makes you say that, said Badfellow? Well, it’s Gang Dog. He goes over to her and puts his head on her belly. He seems fascinated by her belly. You have to check it out. He listens to her belly. Hmm. Do dogs do that? Gang Dog is a tad different than oth...

So you stumble into the bathroom, riddled with leprosy, and you sit on the toilet. It’s been how many days now? You sit there and push. Nothin’. You wish you would croak out but Oh No, we can’t have that, let’s make this fucker suffer. I don’t understand that. I’ve always been kind to strangers and ...

No it’s a one legged man with a horse head for a right foot. Yeah, that’s it. I like it. Wish I had a horse head for a right foot. Remember now, you said from the get go — ‘post often, post drunk, post drunk often’. — that’s with a hard T, often. What’s that mean . . . a b? a b c d? e f g? catch a ...

Remember now, you said from the get go — ‘post often, post drunk, post drunk often’. — that’s with a hard T, often.

No, I think it’s a horse. What ya name him? Do horses fart a lot?

That’s a dog in your signature, Oetts , ain’t it? Looks like a pitt bull, that’s the kind a dog I got. Got that box head and shark eyes. Wouldn’t trade him for a million dollars.

Every time I read that — ‘Don’t worry, we’re in no hurry’ — I like it more.

Do you think the other Eskimo stripper girls will get married? I like Otto, I trust him, he can help us, said Thompson. Well, said Badfellow, I don’t think the girls will get married unless they fall in love. That’s what it’s about, huh? Falling? Figure of speech, Thompson, that’s what Hugh had on h...

The take from the Cold Heart Bank and Trust was substantial, more than Thompson expected. Badfellow was still concerned about the pipe line workers not getting paid. No, they’ve got vouchers, they can go to any old bank and collect their pay, said Thompson. In fact, I’ve got Dix and Hugh following t...

So you going to The Rolling Stones concert at Jazz Fest tomorrow Thompson? Fuck no, I would be trampled and crushed to death by all those fat ladies. They don’t shave their armpits and they smell funny. However, I predict that the boys will sit down. They are the greatest rock n roll band in the uni...

What about your diet, Thompson? What about it? I thought your girlfriend Ladybug was a good cook. Maybe fifty years ago or so. Today she spent all day making a cake. Let them eat cake. Tell me how a cake is going to help me? Once again, nothing to eat. I dread the sardine can opening. These are chea...

Song lyrics are just that, they are lyrics to a song. You can’t have a song lyric without a song. Poetry, as Hugh will tell you, is completely different. The poem has to stand on its own two feet. A poem is not a nursery rhyme, let’s get clear on that. However, let’s take Prufrock as an example, eve...
