72 Hours Raw In Dublin - Part Two - Page 2

With groups of stunningly attractive ladies wandering past in every direction, every one causing no end of trauma, and so when Sir Fleming sighs and says about "If only the myth bout going blind were true…" I can't help but weep in agreement. Ladies like Tetsuo Woman, for example, who only passed for a second, but long enough for to send me into a spectacular babble regarding her gorgeosity, even though she had the look of a lady surely done got surgically enhanced of the frame one time or other, hence the moniker.

With Sinéad and Anna stood by the freshly-unveiled statue of Phil Lynott on Grafton Street, and the night melting someplace midst that staggeringly mischievous Savage Purple grin.

With a fella by the name of Pip approaching me outside of Eamon Doran's, he's saying "I got only one thing to say. Whatever you're thinking right now, do it. Do it!"

I had a loada things on my mind, most of which would've got me a punch on the jaw and cost me a friendship far too precious for to go abusing, but I also had thoughts about how a fella on the other side of the street had a fucking fantastic Bright Eyes t-shirt on, and so yeah, you're right, I ran over to him, took hold his hand and said "Fucking Digital Ash is an amazing record! You're amazing!"

He looked shocked out his last tit, so I left it at that, but for sure, I felt better for it.

Balls, it's all far too much information for to process at this hour, what with the coke-tempered hollering out the window, with the shouting about "Fuck you, I didn't buy shit from you!" and something about "I don't care what you think you thought, you thought wrong, fucker", and then it's Herman's Hermits singing a song bout how Mrs Brown's got the prettiest daughter they ever did see.

You wanna be directing your eyes in the direction of the Savage Purple, Herman, for sure, you'd be singing all bout Fuck You, Mrs Brown, I've Forgotten All About Your Skanky Ol' Daughter Anyhow, On Account Of The Savage Purple Glow Done Snared My Soul, And Also, Truth Be Told I Was Only Hangin With Your Daughter For To Get Closer To Your Son.

Check it out Herman, I got a couple pages here. Look. "Thoughts Regarding Sinéad." Also; "Further Thoughts Regarding Sinéad." That last one's a bit jambled, Herman, goes off on some riff bout how I'm gonna book me a date with a nipper / tucker first thing in the morning, get my nose and teeth and chin fixed up rightly, curious thoughts for the dawn to be crossing.

    Pretty exciting and exotic. I think you should make it easier to follow if you want to do something more with it, which you might. Could be a novel. One of those why I can't find love novels, where hopefully in the end you do, perhaps?

    Alriiiiight! Part three tomorrow?

    Thanks The Duke, I'm making plans to fly out to Dublin, 'cause it sounds damn lively to a lad living in the rolling cow hills of Vermont right now.

    Can't pick a favorite line, they're all memorable.

    Duke -- I dug the hell out of every inch of this. You bring strange and surreal and haunted and magical days to light like no one else.

    All I can ask is that you keep it coming.

    Well, maybe a bright and breezy piece of the accordance of "Today the Duke ate some Cheetos, listened to some records, and had a fabulous chat with a telephone marketer" every now and again would be lovely to let us kind of take a brake and/or cleanse the palate.

    You know, or something.

    hey folks!

    Cerulean, thanks for the comments! i dunno that any such notions of novels or novellas or the like ever ran through a man's head, but i will agree that it's maybe fairly hard to follow, on account of the jumpin back and forth in time an the like. Is there anyone who truly hasn't a damn clue what's goin on?

    Bennett, thank you! i'd imagine part three'll be fairly shortly also.

    Eric, i see where you're comin from. sometimes i think im gettin too "heavy" or summit, but then i think hang on, i never actually said ANYTHIN! heh. but no, i know what you mean. part three starts with a discussion of kentucky fried chicken, so maybe that'll suffice for the meantime...

    again, thanks folks!
