Life, actually…

WATCH OUT!
ONE MORE DOWN-SOUTH BOOK IS ABOUT TO LAUNCH ITSELF
.
Not so long ago, I published a book of random leftover thoughts that didn’t make it into previous books. The book was called WHAT I SAID. It was fun to see people’s reactions to the original bits and pieces that leapt out of my mind over the years. It is filled with ideas mad, sad, glad, bad, silly, profound, stupid, wise.
.
I thought it was done, this volume of going-nowhere notes. But after the book made its rounds, the thoughts kept coming. I could not stop my brain. So, next week, yet another book will go to press, a sequel called WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?
.
Here are some lines that will appear in the new book:
.
Page 6. Everything happens for no particular reason.
.
Page 7. A galoot is someone who does not know what a galoot is.
.
Page 8. Someday I’d like to gather a bunch of artists’ collages
and turn them into old magazines.
.
Page 16. Profusely equals exactly how many?
.
Page 19. How does a snail know when it has a runny nose?
.
Page 20. I look forward to the day First Place comes in Second.
.
Page 22. A trash can is actually a time capsule.
.
Had enough? The book contains hundreds of unpredictable thoughts. I am giving you a heads-up in case you want to run for cover before it comes out.
.
As a bonus today, here are some more:
.
Page 25. I just realized that sooner is sooner than sooner or later.
.
Page 29. Boarding the asylum elevator, he found himself ascending into madness.
.
Page 32. When applauding, you get a better sound by using both hands.
.
Page 49. Sometimes I’m wishy, other times I’m washy.
.
Page 53. It is high time we re-invented the wheel.
.
Wish me luck
