I've been meaning to thank Jeff at this place for the outrageous review he put up some time back.I guess he does this from time to time, and that's cool. It's his gig, he can do what he wants after all!
He's a Chargers fan, but everyone has their quirks and I guess this one is forgivable.
His blog is terrific, as many of you can and will attest; those who don't know are sure to be converted, possibly by mind controlling methods. More on that, later....
Jeff wrote (of Half-Moose with a Twist):
Half-Moose with a Twist - think Dr. Suess and Shel Silverstein, but with an older target audience and a small dose of cocaine. Irreverently funny writing - sometimes poetry and sometimes prose - combined with at-first-glance cute, at-second-glance insane artwork makes for as enjoyable an experience as one can have perusing blogs. Why this place is one of the Internet's best-kept secrets rather than one of the Internet's most popular landing sites is beyond me. Perhaps people don't "get it," but I think that's the point. I don't get it, and I love it!
You personally might find this statement to be a bunch of bull, or just outright lies, but I agree with most of it, except the cocaine part--of which I've never partook, but I did eat some Elmer's Glue once, and of course Play-dough. Anyway, thanks Jeff, and keep up the horror, spice, intrigue...and irreverence!
a lovely love poem, for the hell of it,
MobialHere's to you
My battering ram of hatred
A buffetful of ire
Spiraling dervishes of red hot loathing.
Zealicious malice,
Stomping ranting piles of rancor.
You counter,
Spreading about rumors of joy.
A jest and warm intentions,
Some mushy moment retold with glad tears.
Your kisses melt my doubts
For a day.

"Stomping ranting piles of rancor"
Heh, heh...
I think Jeff has you spot on but I'm not sure there's any cocaine involved. Me thinks that little garden gnome maybe slipping you a mickey tho' ;)
Love the Suess-Silverstein connection :)
And still picking up something from Jeff's site, unknown....
and hope triumphs...for yet another day...
wherever your creativity springs from it is a blessing...sometimes an indecipherable one ...but one to keep the grey matter charged...
Happy days
I wrote that?
Hang on... gotta wipe my nose.
Heh.
Tom you know that Jeff is a good guy with a good eye. He reads for a living, writes for a hobby and you're definitely a national treasure! You doodle me delightful on a daily basis! And I sometimes even understand what you're saying. He forgot to mention Toby. I thought we were having a birthday party this weekend? Should I post doggy style?
Hi Helen...I'll be back with Toby Birthday pics today. Glad you remembered! ...you say i doodle you daily.....WHAT!!!!?
What a great review! He explains it perfectly, though I would replace "cocaine" with "mild hallucinogenic."
Your poem is great - so powerful, wow.
Not boring at all! None of it.
That is one of the most whimsical reviews I have ever read (well minus the cocaine part, a little Alice in Wonderland maybe)! Very nice.
The poem was worth the visit alone!
Getting into unique territory with that love poem. It's wonderful to be recognized - that's why we create, isn't it?
ah, but you play it so well. always love the whimsy...and rumors of joy of course.
