Felinghetti: Jack, you never have been able to think way out, man. C’mon, just because this game has hotels instead of motels doesn’t mean you should get hung up on union utilities and railroads. Or, are you still pining away for your beloved brakeman, that Cassady cat??
Felinghetti: Sorry Jack, I’m just a little bitter about all the publishing vig I lost on the books you never wrote, man. I dig the Zen of Monopoly and all – but you were my ticket to actually win in life and now its gone. There’s not even a boostore on the damn board. Go on, it’s your roll.
If I had a dollar for everytime my fourth grade teacher told me to pucker up and kiss her ass. Sister Patrice was one tough babe. I’ll just bet she coulda kicked this Kerouac fellas little prissy ass.
Ginsberg: Whoa cool your props there flyboy.. better count again.. Youre on Luxury Tax..
Thats two hundred bucks or 20% of your do-ray-mi !
Kerouac: Luxury Tax? Says who ?
Ginsberg: uhhh.. The Rules..thats who..
Kerouac: Rules? What freakin rules? The rules of some bygone age that no longer meet our needs? There aint no rules.. What does he mean ‘rules’ Neal?
Cassady: …there aint no rules..cat.. rules are for squares, you dig ?
Kerouac: See? Neal agrees with me, man.. Dont let yourself get hung up on rules.. We’re not about “rules” .. BEAT is not about trivial things like “rules”.. BEAT is about freedom and sensation.. and experience.. and perception.. and impressions.. its about redefining the conventions of the world to suit us.. to suit now.. Its about LIFE.. and living on our terms.. not some terms dictated to us by some half dead squares with their heads stuck in the sand..you dig? See, like I roll a 7.. now the squares, they just see a 7 because thats all that their tiny minds will allow them to see.. Me? I see maybe a 7.. or maybe a 6.. or maybe an 8.. whatever works best for me going forward…
Ginsberg:
Kerouac:
Ginsberg: Are you quite done ?
Kerouac: Yes..
Ginsberg: Good. I’m the banker so pay up.. $200 or 20% or youre out… what’ll it be?
Kerouac: Know something Al, you square sum’bitch.. YOU SUCK!
Ginsberg: Ya, Jack, I know..I know
NEAL: You can say that again.. The Cat CAN certainly suck.. you dig?
Kerouac’s Dad: “Hey, you bums, git outa my living room! Jack, I told you if you didn’t go out and find a freakin’ job I was gonna drag you down to the union hall and get you one. Now hit the sheets, we gotta git up at five a.m.!”
Do you blog? There is currently a research survey out that seeks to know “why bloggers blog.” The study is being performed by a graduate student at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Thanks for your time.
I refuse to go down to my unfinished basement to dig out my 30-year-old mouldering copies of Kerouac to pretend to know what the fuck you folks are on about.
But the author does resemble Baretta, does he not?
Kerouac: 3..4..5 ! FREE PARKING! FREE PARKING! I’m rich..I get all the money in the pot ! hahaha
Ginsberg: Wait.. Get your greedy ass proto-hippy hands off of that money.. It says in the rules…
Kerouac: Ahh Jeez, now here he goes quoting rules again..
Ginsberg: …, and I quote ”Free Parking -A player landing on this space does not receive any money, property or reward of any kind. This is just a “free” resting place.” , unquote.
Kerouac: Thats bullshit Ginsberg! Everybody knows that when you land on Free Parking you take all the money.. right Neal?
Cassady: .. huh? Oh ya, man..dig it.. its common knowledge, man.
Kerouac: See? Neal agrees with me, man.. and you know what Ginsberg..fuck it, man.. cuz its not even about the money, you dig? Its about BEAT.. Its about trying new things..our train of consciousness.. making our own rules.. determining our own criteria for success..
Ginsberg: Ya, ya, ya.. blah blah blah.. whatever Jack.. spare me your Colombia Coffee House pick up speech.. ya know.. just take the money.. If it makes you happy..just take it..
Kerouac: Ok.. if you insist.. but like I said, its not about the money.. its about principal, you dig?
Ginsberg: ya.. I dig..
Kerouac: Cool ! Now, here’s 5 large.. I want to put 4 houses and a hotel on each red, green, yellow & purple property.. Cuz I am going to smoke your square ass next time you come around!
CC , thanks, but Sean’s on fire.. I’m just hypergraphic.. hahaha
Sean.. Youve been watching ’Beat‘ with Kiefer Sutherland as William S. havent you ? ..or reading Naked Lunch..or something.. cuz your aim is dead on tonight (unlike WSB’s)

I think I’ve pretty much milked the ‘Baboon’ schtick, so I think going forward I will become
A comment on this post that I received over at Vodkapundit’s place:
The best thing about your humor is that it’s short.
If it sucks, (as I often think it does) I’m not too pissed that I wasted a lot of time on it. So I’m still inclined to read your next attempt. And that’s a good thing for me, because every now and then you really do nail one, and I would hate to miss one of those.
Nobody bats .1000. If you’re doing .300-.400 you should be proud. Hell, I’ll be content if you hit about .200, since I’m willing to factor in your low admission fee.
And what’s even better is that there are guys like Stephen here, and Bill over at INDC Journal. They apparently read your stuff every day, and let others know when you have hit one that might appeal to thier own particular/peculiar tastes.
So please, keep up the good, the bad, and the mediocre work. The blogosphere will surely sort it out.
See? Now you know why I do this every day: it’s for the constructive criticism.
Pay no attention.. Their primitive minds are not evolved enough to grok your cutting edge humor.. It’s like having Bill Nye the Science Guy critique Stephen Hawking and the Theory of Everything … Just like The Magic Theater, your brand of humor is NOT for everyone.. nor should it be. I didnt see Protein Wisdom – one of the lesser known proletariat blogs up on the header..

You know what’s interesting about PW that you don’t get anywhere else under any circumstances? Well, I’ll tell you. Now and then, if you hang out long enough, you’ll get to see a really fine writer edit his work. Right there in real time. Honestly. I’ll see a post on its first go round and then a little later it’ll be different. Better. Same general idea but refined. And you don’t get to ask “Hey, Jeff. What made you go from this to that and why *is* it better after you edited it?” But one learns if she cares to pay attention.
Felinghetti: Jack, you never have been able to think way out, man. C’mon, just because this game has hotels instead of motels doesn’t mean you should get hung up on union utilities and railroads. Or, are you still pining away for your beloved brakeman, that Cassady cat??
Kerouac: “Uh, Lawrence? I told the Electric Company to kiss my ass! You need to ease up on that horse, man.”
Burroughs: “I bet you ten bucks I can shoot one of them hotels off the top of my wife’s head!”
Ha!
Turing word: snortingbugspray.
Go figure.
W. C. Williams: So much depends upon a red hotel, glazed with halogen lighting, beside the aluminum shoe.
Sean M. –Good one. I sprayed insect repellent all over my keyboard!
I aim to please.
Too bad for his wife that the ol’ junky didn’t.

I bought my first copy of Gravity’s Rainbow at City Lights. Man, do I rue that day.
One of the greatest novels ever written, Gravity’s Rainbow.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH1 Best one in a while, Sean.
The WCW riff were damned good, too.
WCW?
I agree, Jeff. The problem is that I can’t stop reading the damn thing.
WCW = William Carlos Williams
“Double ones”? Say “snake eyes” like a man, Kerouac, you poser.
If I had a dollar for everytime my fourth grade teacher told me to pucker up and kiss her ass. Sister Patrice was one tough babe. I’ll just bet she coulda kicked this Kerouac fellas little prissy ass.
He of peyote fame?
Spamword, “lost,” as in, “If I hadn’t taken so much goddamned peyote, I wouldn’t be wandering lost in the desert.”
Are your buttons still popping about the Larry Fine Award?
KEROUAC LIVING ROOM, 1952

Hot damn. I’m just back from choir practice and I think I’m up for a bracing five minute survey!
What’s your register?
Norman Podhoretz: You commies are too easy. I win again!
Ginsberg We’ll get you through your children!

LeRoi Jones: “Fuck you, Ginsberg. You would be the banker, wouldn’t you?
“I bet somebody from the Mossad will call you and tell you to stay away from Park Place and Boardwalk on 9/11, Jew-boy.”
Ginsberg: “Dude, I’m gonna die like, in 1997. So ease up.”

Man, Sean you are on fire tonight. But you ain’t doin’ too bad either, my simian friend.
Burroughs: “That Community Chest card said I was entitled to a free morphine script, right?”
Kerouac: “Naw, Bill. It told you to move to ‘Go.’ You’ve gotta lay off the smack.”
Burroughs: “I can feel the heat closing in…”
