All I have to do is illustate the imagery in which Amos writes...

Come now, A. You are too shy... pigs fly?

If you believe
and roll up your sleeves
even a pig can fly.
Like angels and fairies
and the stork who carries
babies with angels on high.

But some wishes
are suspicious
and deadly poison
when entirely based
on a lie.

Don't taste them
or chase them
or fall for their mayhem
or you may
suddenly die.

You recently wrote of tooth fairies and storks with babies regarding the absurd belief systems of some people's politics.

When a maggot hatches into a fly, it is for a few brief minutes, surgicaly sterile. Who needs anything more amazing than that?

Hey, I'll always jump on a "Thanks, Amos" band wagon! Thanks for telling Belkacem (and others) "Keep your hands off my sister!" I actually needed a bodyguard back then.

Lots love, Deda

I'm prolly drawin' all sorts of wrong inferences from that illustration, but the aspect ratio for the wings on that pig are all wrong nevermind that as a mammal the wings must surely be more batlike than feathery, and they're mounted way ahead of that pore thing's CG, look how it's draggin' its rear. Don' look too happy neither. looks more flung than flyng.

Amos, thanks for knowing (or at least faking) 10,000 songs at getaway. You are one fine entertainer, and I do not use that term loosely. If I had AMos and Bobert to jam with on a regular basis, and a place to set my wine glass, life would be even sweeter.

For those who weren't here in January 2000, the context is provided:

The Incandescent Pickle II, borrowing the tune of the Universal Soldier.

And Bert's fave, The Incandescent Pickle, to the tune of the Rising of the Moon.

I have no idea how these came about, but there ya go. :D

The world (starting with the Getaway) is indeed a far better better place for your being in it, Amos. Would that that could be said for your opponents.
