Pseudsday Tuesday meets The Corrections Bookmark and Share

The naked truth about "pioneering French designer" Philippe Starck, as told in The Sunday Times:

I'm not at all intelligent, but I have amazing intuition. And I have to be somewhere where I feel in the right state to receive the intuitions my subconscious sends to me. It may seem pretentious, but and that's what it is. I turn around the magma, the mud in my brain, and slowly, oysters come out.

When East Meets Westies
Or: You Say "Menino,"
       & I Say "Moreno"
Or: Procol Harum Scarum
 
 
Hugh Fitzgerald and Mary Jackson may be Popeye and Olive Oyl and say that it's spinach and the hell with it and some say "Gershwin says 'ersters' and I say baloney," but while I say "Cuber" for "Cuba," I say "oy-stah" for oyster and unlike Popeye, don't dare say, "Salam, salami, baloney" to the Islamic Society of Boston.
 
Luckily for me, the local world of issuing business permits is my oyster allah Boston bakeesh -and racial incidentally, with respect to fashion design, you can't go wrong with Pearl Bailey and your basic blacks (hat tip to Philippe Starck and to Godfrey Cambridge's** starkers wife) -as long as they stay out of West Roxbury (or, for that matter out of the West Side of Manhattan). My like-minded chum in chicanery, Chicago Alderman, Proco "Joe" Moreno, is also well-situated and likely to become a richer, whiter shade of pale and able to afford a Proco Harem.
 
After what happened to the Kennedy boys at the hands of Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan, I'm not fool enough to cross communists or Arabs.  The president of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, should not be allowed to bash gays; that's the job of the Muslims.
 
Boston, home of the queen and sod,
Where Brahmins suck up to the Muslims
Jews are marked with Izod
And gays will come under the rod
 
Philippes, they come and go,
Designing women and ginocchio,
But you'll find me at the Bellagio
 
Ho-Ho-Ho,
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe,
Chick-fil-A Has Got To Go,
Thomas "Dial M For" Menino,
Mayor,
Boston, Mass.  
 
 
 
 
Tags: eeny, meeny, miny, moe, what is the meaning of George Meaney or Studs Terket? the moving finger writes and cancels out a permit, Mene, mene, tekel, upharsim, "One man's Mede is another man's Persian"  http://yourkeeper.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html , let's call the whole franchise expansion off
