Jimi Hendrix: Energy Drink
It’s instructive to examine the archives now and then to learn which posts attract the most readers, to hover like a cheerleader mom in a Dallas suburb lest the popular posts torment the others. A dire warning about the effects of Herman’s Hermits on the human brain remains number one with a bullet. Also a question from Mrs. Endicott of Cape Canaveral who wrote to ask, “why did Wellington Leg launch a spy satellite?”
Wellington Leg Spy Satellite LLC is a Delaware Corporation with corporate offices in Red Hook Brooklyn. All correspondence from them begins with the phrase “quite frankly” and concludes with lengthy passages from the works of Rilke. A serious desgn flaw requires developing spy photographs at Rite-Aid where the Muzak never stops.
Indeed, Mrs. Endicott, Wellington Leg is seeking real time information on the goings on in neighboring Goth. A border dispute has spilled over into the Costco parking lot, where even at odd hours copies of Rick Moody’s THE DIVINERS are sold from the back of Minivans. Goth has formed an alliance with the City of Carthago Nova, a planned community. Not even the creation of a Jimi Hendrix energy drink, recently announced in Los Angeles, offers succor to the exhausted troops. No, Mrs. Endicott, Wellington Leg will not lower its flag over the entrails of the abalone also known as “Big Red.”
Thus, we spy. Now that Hizzoner accepts major credit cards, the fiscal health of the community is assured despite outbursts of irrational exuberance and the endless complaints from outside agitators. NB: Should you encounter the Wellington Leg Spy Satellite while out and about don’t take the photos to your local drugstore. Contact Napoleon Bonaparte at the Red Hook address. Tell him you’re a Hermit fan. Or better yet repeat the phrase, “Quite frankly, I think you’re mad.”
