   This comic is based on a short story by William S. Burroughs about a man who taught his anus to speak … Careful Pig! The story did NOT end well! When this sort of thing starts, you must nip it in the butt.

   Kramer used it in an episode of “Seinfeld” – https://youtu.be/GXdNgO94rKQ?t=100 … I remember too feeling that it sounded like old slang from the late 60s or early 70s. But I had never heard it before or since, except in mocking tones.

   On the sheet of paper he’s holding. He probably sent it to the printer from his desktop computer … he doesn’t have a pad or a laptop he can take to the couch and read from.

   “Hey buddy! How’s your dorm? Do you like it?”“Yeah, it’s okay”“Are any of your room-mates crazy (trouble-makers)?”“No.”“Don’t worry about it - you can be 100% honest with me …”“I am.”“I heard you went to a party … Was it good?”“It was fine”“Did you enjoy it (get drunk?) That would be pretty cool …”“It’s embarrassing when you call and read from a list of slang you found on the internet Dad.”“Dude, you’re harshing my buzz.” [>ahem< sorry about that …] → “Stop discouraging me, son.”“I’m gonna go now Dad.”--:-)

   I grew up in Chicago, so we actually had a plethora of channels – eight of them: 2 -CBS; 5 – NBC; 7-ABC; 9 – WGN (Go Cubs!); 11 – WTTW (Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood); 26 – WCIU (Stock Market ticker; Spanish; and sometimes in the late sixties they had Italian shows); 32 -WFLD (owned by various indies including “Kaiser”, before they became a Fox affiliate in the late 80s … ) and 44 – WSNS (Spanish, but for a while they tried broadcasting scrambled signals to charge people for a descrambler … didn’t last long)

   We used to watch “BJ and Dirty Dragon” on Channel 32 (thought with a moniker like “Dirty Dragon”, you might like to know … ). Bill Jackson is still around, but he’s quietly retired. In 2008, he wrote a memoir about growing up in carnivals during the Great Depression, WWII, and post. I read it. It was pretty interesting, and I recommend it to his fans …

   I still enjoy TV, but it will never again have the intimacy it used to.

    Ahhhhhh, now it makes sense. Thank you, Juncarl. :-) (In my defense, I probably didn’t get the joke at first because I never was a Jobs fan-boy.)
