A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.

ReplyDeleteHe's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot (Grandaddy)
ReplyDeleteFall Out Boy's song, "Sugar, We're Goin' Down." My favorite line: "I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it."
