Well hells bells Beagles. Hells bells? You know what's hellish,
looking up a phrase that a rock band has decided would make a groovy
name. Three different pages is my limit for internet research, and
none of them gave me an origin, though one claimed that the phrase was
originally hells bells and buckets of blood. Kind of groovy, if I was
forming a rock band, I think I would go with the longer phrase, or maybe
just gone with bucket of blood, but that is probably already taken.
Once years ago, I happened to be in the hip part of town and came across
a poster advertising the band Piss Bucket. I never heard of them
again, but maybe they changed their name to the Backstreet Boys or
something.
Where was I? Oh I was driving a car with an oil problem and then I
abandoned it in Alaska, and the cops never came to tow it away because
they were too busy dealing with urban derelict buildings, but actually
they weren't dealing with them at all, they were dealing cards, but then
they suddenly ran out of cards, and then I woke up and realized I had
to get in my Beaglesonian post for the morn, but then I realized I was
already writing it, and I wondered hells bells, hells bells and a bucket
of blood, what ate we talking about here.
That's the trouble with these metaphors, they can go anywhere. What if
we are the Backstreet Boys driving from town to town, and whenever we
run out of oil we just flash a smile and the tween girls buy us quarts
of oil, and if we bought a new car they might think we were some other
band like Piss Bucket. And if we were Piss Bucket we would just steal
oil from garages after our gigs and we could never buy a new car because
none of us would want to sign Piss Bucket on the check.
Oh we were talking about poor people. I think we were going to bat
around ideas for a solution to poverty, but then I claim that we can
never really solve that problem because, like terrorists or just nuts
who buy a super gun and shoot up a school or movie or someplace, they
will always be with us, but I think we should just try to make it a
little better.
There's a facebook page about Forgotten Champaign and mostly it is
about, oh remember that Dog 'n Suds on Second and Green in the fifties,
but a day or two ago somebody posted something about the Vietnam
protests and then somebody wrote something for them and somebody wrote
something against them, and now two days later and a couple pages they
are all going at it tooth and fang about who is really supporting the
troops.
Why can't they be like us, and get a nice little blog that nobody reads and we don't bother nobody.
