Attention, Leprous Sex Nuggets of the Interspags:

[Doktor Howl]

I am bored, and am weighing various irresponsible actions.

I get this way, when the air gets thin and Tucson just isn't weird enough for me.  It's too fucking hot, and I can feel my brain boiling in my cranium.  At some point, it will burst like an egg in a microwave...And if fall doesn't arrive soon, you will all taste my horribly diseased frontal lobes.  You have been warned.

I need something to do.  Something awful and stupid, with serious physical danger involved.  Nothing else does it for me, anymore, and no dosage of benzos makes any fucking difference whatsoever.

I realize that it isn't the town.  Tucson's just as weird as it ever was, it's just that I've developed a tolerance for it, like you develop a tolerance for any drug.  It's a sad state of affairs when bad driving, cheap whiskey, and irresponsible firearm use no longer even raises your pulse a beat or three, but there you have it.

This seriously isn't my decade.  All the jokes have gone stale, and the strings on the politicians are all too visible, ruining my suspension of disbelief.  Stupidity has stretched and snapped Poe's Law, and just seems insipid and banal, now.

I need to breathe real air, not this horrible canned shit.  The problem is, there isn't any real air left...At least not the kind I need.

I suspect that James Brown felt this way sometimes.

Okay (for now),
Dok

There is always a higher bungee jump. A faster Ducati.

I don't know, however, whether you are becoming immune to Tucson as much as you are demanding more life to offset the sheer mediocrity that daily encroaches upon you.

You and I may never find what we are looking for, but that is not the point.  For if the Lost Highway had an end, then surely we would all know where it is?

[Freeky]

Well, I DID suggest we go to the shrine of the Black Madonna last week, but yousaid I was crazy for wanting to go at night.

We should totally go soon.

[Jasper]

If you guys go, I would hope for some documentation.  That sounds really interesting.

Well, he actually had a good reason for calling me crazy. The shrine is located on the edge between south filth and the legal district. The hour in question is when drive-by shootings typically occur, and the shrine would probably have had visitors indulging in their lost, hopeless prayers.

(This Black Madonna is the one you turn to when you have no hope left, it isn't the mechanical one.)

Try Parkour? That covers the "stupid and dangerous" part 

[Jasper]

Parkour at the Black Madonna.

You try parkouring in 100 degree weather.

[Jasper]

If I am ever to visit Tucson, I'll send advance warning and funds to build a refrigerator with a window so I can actually survive there.

You'd be okay in "winter". It only gets up to about 70, 75. And down to 50 during the day.

It's fucking 107F today. 

[Doktor Howl]

Parkour at the Black Madonna.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll figure something out that doesn't involve stomping on the religious beliefs of Tucson's bottom rung.

Point.

I need a bazooka.

Yeah, thanks.

Kick the moneylenders out of the temple of the Almighty Dollar.

Fuck with the banks?

Okay.  I think I can do that.
