my faves

say, alice, you wanna go out tonight? ok, ralph. where are you taking me? there's this little place in the city. the city? is it safe? oh sure. nuthin' to worry about. I don't know. my parents, they don't let me go there. . . just wear your, you know, boots. on a date? and maybe waders, too. are we catching frogs? I hope that's the only thing we catch.

what's he told you? nuthin' boss. not a thing. that won't last. he'll break. I dunno boss. he's a tough one. he's about to see that we're tough too. get me? you mean. . . exactly. you got the tool. use it. gee, I don't know. isn't it outlawed by, you know, the Geneva Convention or something? what're you, an expert on international law now? no boss. me neither. use it. he'll talk. but it's so. . . icky. I hate candy corn too. why else d'you think we have so much of it lyin' around? stuff makes me wanna puke. I almost feel sorry for the guy. you wanna eat that stuff yourself? me? no way! then go do it. it's fool-proof. the poor son-of-a-bitch don't know what's about to happen to him. I wouldn't wanna be him, that's for sure. for sure.

he's in here somewhere. yeah, but how are we gonna find him, sir? your orders are to search the whole place. yes, sir. and while you're at it, destroy everything you find. ah, sir? isn't that a little redundant? hmmm. I see what you're saying. ok, new orders: um. . . search. got it. nice and simple. just how we like it. that's what they say. they do?

what do you think? I think it would be fun to wear. really? I mean like now. oh. how about we wait til tomorrow? you sure? pretty sure, yeah. Here's the "other" Nick Cave. The one who plays with the Bad Seeds. My video from Masonic Temple, in Detroit, entitled "the Tiny Fucking Little Screen," which you will understand if you watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzBpnPF6fSw

you have a meeting with the joint chiefs, mr. president. you like my cufflinks? from my days at the military academy. oh? they'll impress those guys. you'll impress the joint chiefs. . . with cufflinks? they'll beg to give me a parade. they will? bigly. like Putin's and little rocket man's. I. . . don't know what to say. totally old school, eh? and mine will be the biggest and best parade ever, believe me. somehow I have no doubt. what do those military guys know that I don't know? sir, it's becoming increasingly clear every day

there's something spooky about this place. yeah. it feels like there's ghosts here or something. what do you suppose it is? I dunno. but watch your step. might be something down there.

I've been visiting your garden, lord. which one is that, archangel? you know, earth. what was once a garden, anyway. not so much now, in many places. no, but I still find beauty, even in the devastation. I'm glad you do. because humans are making a mess of it. they try one's patience, don't they? some do. I don't think I need to name names. anyway, it may not be an issue for long. oh? do you have plans I should know about lord? we'll see. let's just say I've been practicing. with a stray asteroid. practicing, lord? you know, tossing it around here and there. staying in shape?. exercise is healthy, I've heard. humans may not find it very healthy one of these days. I doubt I'll seek their opinion in the matter. no surprise there, lord.

how do I look? great, dave. you look great. cool with the pipe and all? way cool. and my hair? it's all great. can I have my bike back please? oh. sure. thanks.

hey vern! today's the day for the big vote. I know. I can't make it. you gotta! the party leadership needs you! yeah? tell them I can't make it. vern, the president is counting on you! he is? big time! good to know. tell him I can't make it too. but why? you know that little incentive I got? from the coal guys? yeah, that one. it bounced. it bounced? yeah. so I can't make it. I see. so democracy's integrity stays intact? such as it is. sure.

pull that guy over, earl. why? he do something wrong? he looks like a WoP. a what? like he's without papers. an illegal? based on what? he's just driving. you're new to the force, aintcha. well, yeah. so you'll learn: rule number 1. pull 'em over. but why? rule number 2: don't ask. what's rule number 3? see rule number 2. right.

good morning, herr doktor... my god! what happened to your laboratory? ah, there you are my boy. I've made another giant breakthrough! oh, they'll be so jealous back at the university! what kind of breakthrough? I've learned how to re-arrange the molecular structure of the universe! exciting, eh? but your lab! it looks like a snow bomb hit it! yes, well there is one minor side-effect of my experiments. that's a big surprise. what is it? we're all going to be very cold from now on, I'm afraid. very. . . very cold. that's terrible! what can you do about it? well, I thought of making myself a banana daiquiri, actually a frozen one, I suppose? that sounds nice. make it a double, thanks.

where are you going? just checking the water line. you never know. never know what? when it might show up. when who might show up? not who. what. and if it does, it'll be too late. too late for what? to run. well, that sounds like an important job you have. very. but I can handle it. I can definitely see that. definitely.

are you comfortable? of course. are you? I always am, when I'm looking at you. aw. shut up and take the picture.
