Ben Franklin in Roswell

Posted in Undogegorized by chamblee54 on November 2, 2008


The party was just that. PG was busy, tore himself away to go, which is how a lot of saturday nights happen. He made a wrong turn somewhere, and got lost, with an suv motivating him to go faster. This happens a lot north of the river. He finally made it to the house and was warmly greeted by the hosts.

Guod was wearing a caveman outfit, and Liberty had on a handmedown red dress. Holly/Diane/Sasha, the original owner of the red dress, is in California now. Last PG had heard, Sasha fits into L.A.,after being out of place in Vegas. Diane was a stocky construction worker. He started trying on his wife’s outfits, and discovered that he looked better in them. Soon, David was cast aside, and Diane emerged. While the surgery is too expensive to contemplate, Diane is now a she.
PG commented to Liberty that fitting a man’s body into woman sized clothes can be a problem. They agreed that with Diane…who could have played linebacker back in the boy days…this was not a problem.

The food and costumes were lovely, and the people were nice to PG. He wore a Ralph Lauren shirt with a matching Red tie, which got comments from people used to a more casual PG. No one knew that PG had worn the same outfit to another party the previous saturday. A few costumes that were too efficient…the ghoul would know PG, who did not have a clue who it was. Just don’t say anything bad about anyone, you might be talking to that person.

The role model for this novel to be is “Trout Fishing in America”. Or maybe that is a biscuit model, round and lumpy with a flat top. The party had these half sized biscuits, which PG tore in half and put chunks of roast beef in. .

The first chapter in TFIA is about the cover. Mr. Brautigan and a female cohort are in front of a statue of Ben Franklin. Mister F was born in 1706. He would be 302 if he was still alive. He could have done that, if he had been a vampire. However, he would not have gone out in a thunderstorm and watched the lightening cascade off the key under his kite.

Was Ben Franklin at that party last night?

Once when he was a kid, PG took the 23 Oglethorpe bus into town . His neighbor Eric was with him. On the way back, some wino started talking to the two boys. The wino said “ What did Ben Franklin say when he touched the key that had been struck by lightening?…Ouch”. The wino had some work waiting on him at the end of the line, and the two boys went home.
