Hi everyone.
You’re probably wondering what’s up with us Wooooo dudes, why are we so sucky right now? I’ll tell you why- we’re depressed.
The world’s a terrible, bubbling shit-hole and it doesn’t look like it’ll change any time soon.
Look around you. What have you got? A house? A car? Lots of money? Great. But where will it get you? You’re still gonna die.
You can play Monopoly to win, but at the end of the day- the pieces have to go back into the box.
Just think about it. There’s no real point to any of this.
Every breath nudges you closer to the grave, and what do you do with your limited time? You work hard to acquire as much frippery as possible. And it’s never enough. Look at the richest people in the world! Why?
Why would you want that much? Why would you have billions of dollars and still work hard to get more? Why? I’ll tell you why, because it’s never enough. Have you noticed that every time you get a pay increase it never seems to be enough? No matter how significant? At first you think “Great! More money!” but then you realize you’re back where you started when you had a paper route.
It wasn’t enough then, it’s not enough now, and it’ll never be enough ever.
It’s like we’re unwittingly digging a hole in the process of filling it.
So depressing. It’s slavery.
What’s the point of living then? What’s the point of gathering as much crap as you can if you can’t take it with you?
I feel spiritually bankrupted by the world and it’s workings. I think I’ll have a lie down.

Such a great cover. Gilbert Shelton. Freak Bros.

I was just hunting around for today’s installment of ‘Foxy but Worm-food’ and I came across this picture of actress, dancer, and screen idol Eleanor Powell. At first I thought, “She’s foxy and also dead as a doornail. Perfect.”
Then I noticed the relaxed, carefree gait she’s got goin’ on. She appears to be reclining and walking at the same time.
And then it hit me- She’s Truckin’ !!!!!
Eleanor Powell: Foxy, deceased, and quite possibly the first person to Truck.

My mother has Multiple Sclerosis. Hows that for a bummed-out lead? She’s okay though, it just makes her tired at around 4pm every day. She’s very lucky.
I was on the phone to her yesterday and I suggested she try medicinal marijuana, after all, she can get it and it’s basically free!
“No” she said, “I don’t like that stuff. I don’t like feeling like I’m not in control.”
I tried to reason with her, “Mom. You have MS. I like pot. Let’s figure it out.”
I think she’s thinking about it, but probably not. I love her but she’s pretty square, my mom.
Anyway, to strengthen my argument that she/we should get into it, I did some research about cannabis and how it benefits MS sufferers and I discovered that there is a product called Sativex which is basically bong-spray… wait… I just read that despite it being made from pot it doesn’t get you high. They put something in it to cancel out the buzz. Nice one.

Mom! What about Marinol?! I got my hands on that stuff years ago. A buddy with aids gave me some and it was pretty good.
Now, what kinda scum-bag takes medicine from an aids patient? Well, the deal was he’d been prescribed about 100 Marinol gel caps to stimulate his diminishing appetite, but, like my mother, he didn’t like being stoned and gave the tablets to his friends who did,
so shut up.
Anyway, from memory they were pretty good. They made you stupid but not paranoid, so you could float down the street laughing at everything all day. How wonderful!

Here’s The big ‘O’ telling pork-pies on the campaign trail ’07.


I wish I could post this movie up in it’s entirety- Jimi Hendrix Plays Monterey.
Here’s what happened- Monterey Pop Festival. June 16-18. 1967. Bunch of bands, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, The Grateful Dead etc… Amazing line up, summer of love, all that shit. Anyway, on the last night there was a blow up backstage between The Who and The Jimi Hendrix Experience regarding who would play first. Neither wanted to follow the other. Jimi won and The Who went on to play one of the best shows they ever played ever… then Jimi totally wiped his ass with them.
This is the concert where Jimi famously set his guitar on fire, which was awesome, but if you ask me, he’d already blown everyones mind within the first ten seconds of his set.
Watch!
