    <content type="html">Another block o' "Tale of the Hebrew Potato"!  It's parts 26 through 30 (Only 70 more sections to go!  Can you feel the excitement?  Of course not, since nobody will even read this!  Huzzah!)  However, if you'd like to comment, but don't know what to say, uh...maybe pick out some lines you liked, or want deeper insight to, or try to analyze it like it's a piece of good poetry and show me what happened (Both the analyzation, and what happened to your brain before/after it snapped.  Pictures would be nice).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXVI&lt;br /&gt;Tomatoes are no longer to eat the flesh of barbers.&lt;br /&gt;Lobster bait is mostly fried light bulbs but also contains some tofu.&lt;br /&gt;Harps should be milked very nine weeks and only by dead spiders.&lt;br /&gt;Bearded femurs should never be mixed with mechanical pies.&lt;br /&gt;Oscillating limes cannot match wits with derelict turpentine.&lt;br /&gt;Kenyan dentists are easily tempted with salmon phonographs.&lt;br /&gt;Lava coated rapes are rarely sold to German puffins.&lt;br /&gt;Destitute marmalade can never run for Governor in Iowa.&lt;br /&gt;Tomato-based umbrellas cannot shield French painters from obese poodles.&lt;br /&gt;Brick walls have always had difficulty in being accepted in Nepal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXVII&lt;br /&gt;Robotic margarine is notoriously difficult to spread on toasted granite.&lt;br /&gt;Most leeches are in desperate need of chowder hats and oak mittens.&lt;br /&gt;A shark’s trousers must always come with levitating quilts.&lt;br /&gt;The Pope has made it illegal for comatose gnats to posses toffee.&lt;br /&gt;If the salmon can pilot a terrier, then rain will come to the French.&lt;br /&gt;Mustard gas is a Scandinavian delicacy, often served with lye.&lt;br /&gt;Emaciated doves desperately need bourbon and asparagus.&lt;br /&gt;Rabbis, it seems can never recall that tangerines differ greatly from other fish.&lt;br /&gt;Translucent mimes dance before the royal turnip.&lt;br /&gt;Doughnuts need never apply for financial aid in Syria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXVIII&lt;br /&gt;The sinuses of a Mormon demand to be liberated by Turkish ducks.&lt;br /&gt;Tapioca rickshaw, demon pancreas, eaten on a woolly lantern.&lt;br /&gt;Overzealous wrenches must always be force-fed mashed gargoyles.&lt;br /&gt;Timely kites have been persecuted by vociferous flounder.&lt;br /&gt;The waxed typhoon will not flee from a squadron of ticks.&lt;br /&gt;Horseradish and ducklings have quarreled for far too long in Brazil.&lt;br /&gt;Viral penguins often burrow into the snowmobiles of Greek tailors.&lt;br /&gt;Lobster-induced thimbles must be careful not to melt waffles.&lt;br /&gt;Detonating a shallow bishop has never brought luck to Norway.&lt;br /&gt;Vibrant mollusks enjoy lactating molten ferns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXIX&lt;br /&gt;Never stuff a pheasant into a tomato without first putting on glass boots.&lt;br /&gt;The kneecaps of Satan cannot match the sweet fragrance of a midget’s necktie.&lt;br /&gt;Mutilated flapjacks are in constant need of diamond hams.&lt;br /&gt;Absorbing camel livers has been proven to eradicate torpedoes.&lt;br /&gt;An educated mongoose is still inferior to a drunken Ukrainian mushroom.&lt;br /&gt;Lemon-hued femurs have an inherent lack of respect for Latin tile.&lt;br /&gt;Statues of pelicans made out of dried kelp are highly popular.&lt;br /&gt;The energy brought forth by a cowardly gnat is enough to crush Samoa.&lt;br /&gt;A dolphin’s monocle fetches a high price with plumbers.&lt;br /&gt;Melted badgers can have hours of fun with swollen yams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XXX&lt;br /&gt;Never provide a lamprey with a waffle cone filled with dead clams.&lt;br /&gt;A schizophrenic trout must always be wrapped in green asphalt.&lt;br /&gt;Dampen your flanges with chum before visiting Somalia in autumn.&lt;br /&gt;Twelve hamsters are far more capable to beat a squid than limes.&lt;br /&gt;Syphilis-crusted harpoons are always welcome to a narwhal’s colon.&lt;br /&gt;Edible muskrats have had hard times finding employment with drills.&lt;br /&gt;Invading turnips have no right to eat a tambourine’s ascot.&lt;br /&gt;Salmonella must learn to devour mimes before it can jitterbug.&lt;br /&gt;Tiny bearded gremlins bearing a hazy resemblance to Winston Churchill are nigh.&lt;br /&gt;Irish bananas are in great danger of being molested by turtles.</content>

    <content type="html">So, Katrina has pretty much destroyed New Orleans (And the water won't be leaving any time soon, with the levees and whatnot), and unless I'm much mistaken, a good portion of southern Mississippi, where I lived for nearly ten years, and where I've still got a lot of friends.  I believe they are safe, but I'm not positive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a similar subject, I wonder which countries have sent in relief during this tragedy.</content>

    <lj:music>Blind Melon - "No Rain</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Normally I'd be at college right now, but hurricane Dennis has changed those plans (Also, when I got there, the campus was damn near empty, and a good number of buildings were locked), so, how's about a live journal update?  So what if nobody cares, I'm writing one anyway!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps luckily or not, depending upon how much you like/hate the ongoing 'Hewbrew Potato' poem, this will be another glimpse into my life, which I am completely not making up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I assume that you, the reader, has heard of the phrase "cooking with gas" before.  My parents most certainly did, and they took it to heart.  Whenever a family barbecue, or any outdoor cooking was scheduled, gas was most certainly involved.  Not propane, but gasoline.  They'd get a barrel, usually cut it in half, and put about an inch or more of gas in the bottom, light it, and have us kids cook our own food.  Hell, sometimes this was done inside, too.  Life was...interesting...back in those days, to say the least.</content>

    <content type="html">I said this earlier today, but it bears repeating:  My reality is crumbling before my very eyes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For I recently learned that Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is satiric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That kind of thing should be made explicitly clear on the title page.  That damn essay is one of the major reasons I took up baby eating, and lo and behold, ol' Swifty doesn't mean it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know, I might keep eating babies, as they are good, but now it seems slightly wrong.  It'd be like if it said in the Bible somewhere to beat plumbers with a rake every Tuesday, but then someone came out and said it was a mis-translation.  Do you keep doing it?  It's become a custom, but now the major reason for doing it is no longer valid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advice/help/recipes/etc. wanted</content>

    <lj:music>Cab Calloway - "Hi De Ho Man"</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Since the first one wasn't hated, I figured I would provide another look at my life, once again, of my early years, sort of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From conversations with friends, it seems that the practice of "fending for oneself" is fairly common with families, in that the parents care to not make the evening meal, and the members of the family must find a way to feed him/herself.  The same was true in my family, only, and my previous entry shouldn't make this too shocking, in a very different fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my mother or father informed us that we would have to 'fend for ourselves' they meant it quite literally.  No pre-bought food was available.  If we managed to stun a bird with a rock, we were free to cook it, but we could not open a can of soup.  Because of this (And it happened with some regularity), I've grown quite accustomed to the taste of pigeon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information (And perhaps more of "Hebrew Potato") later.</content>

    <content type="html">So, I'm taking the Teebler's (Or, if we're getting personal and on a first name basis and such, Patrick's) advice, and doing a non-poem entry.  Maybe this will offer some insight to my life/stuff that I do/whatever, and maybe it won't.  Anyway, here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was younger, I had very sensitive ears.  Apparently, this was good when I was an infant, as I wouldn't cry too much, because it was too loud for me to hear.  However, as I grew older, it didn't look like it'd help me out.  I could hear someone whispering in the opposite end of the house, even with a TV on and people having a conversation in the same room as me.  If the house was really quiet, I could hear the neighbors across the street.  At three or so years old, it might be weird and such, but my parents felt that this would only hurt me later in life, especially in school.  I mean, imagine trying to concentrate on what the teacher is saying, when you can hear the teachers in three other classrooms.  So, my parents decided to take action.  Every night, before I went to sleep, they'd pour about a teaspoon of bleach into my ears and cover them with cotton balls.  Sadly, this method didn't really work, and looking back, it's not much of a surprise that it didn't, as both of my parents were batshit crazy.  I'm seriously lucky that I escaped childhood with my life and all of my limbs.</content>

    <content type="html">So, I'm thinking, should I even bother to keep updating this thing?  Or, at least, use it to post my 'poems' and such?  I'm starting to understand Brian's reasoning for taking down his blogs, nobody seems to care.  I mean, if you think these are getting repetitive, suck now, always sucked, whatever, just say something.  At least I'll know they've been seen by someone.  I'm going to keep writing this stuff, regardless of what the majority opinion (Ha, like I'd get enough comments for a majority opinion to exist) is, but if they aren't liked, I'll keep them to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I know this is a desperate attempt to get comments, and yes, I know I don't really comment much on other people's journals, but I'm going to try and change that, even if I have fuck all to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant gremlin-riddled nightmare.</content>

    <content type="html">Sadly, this has no title at this moment.  In some cases I'd wait to post this until I've come up with a title, but all of my other poems began with the title.  So, I guess, for now at least, it'll be called "    ".  I will take sugestions for a title, but I might just leave it untitled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’d&lt;br /&gt;rather not&lt;br /&gt;be here.  Take&lt;br /&gt;me back home.  The&lt;br /&gt;walls are closing in on&lt;br /&gt;my mind.  Leave the deflated&lt;br /&gt;walrus, save me from sanity.  Toss&lt;br /&gt;me that baleen life preserver before the&lt;br /&gt;sawdust rises too high.  I never should have&lt;br /&gt;ridden that drunken marmalade, but I had no&lt;br /&gt;other chance to escape from the ocelots of Nevada and&lt;br /&gt;their fleet of highly-trained mimes.  Scoop me into your potato&lt;br /&gt;trawler and I’ll reward you with a cornucopia of beaver spleens, &lt;br /&gt;sanguine turtles, and a vast array of petrified grapefruit.  As we&lt;br /&gt;navigate our way back through the fog, heavy with bacon fat, I must issue a warning&lt;br /&gt;against the terrors that we are sure to encounter, with this vessel coated in&lt;br /&gt;lye and filled with decomposing flounder, terrors known to many a&lt;br /&gt;Greek cabbage, same as the ones on your crew, as velvet&lt;br /&gt;tangerines.  The look on your face shows that you’ve never heard&lt;br /&gt;those words before, so I’ll use a phrase you should know,&lt;br /&gt;that is, if you’ve got any skills as a Lutheran&lt;br /&gt;porcupine miner.  The terrors of which I speak&lt;br /&gt;are often called salty muskrats by your&lt;br /&gt;people.  So, if you value your life&lt;br /&gt;and your cargo of broccoli&lt;br /&gt;pelts, let us swiftly&lt;br /&gt;flee from those&lt;br /&gt;enraged&lt;br /&gt;yaks.</content>

    <content type="html">In a shocking twist, this entry is not a poem/article that I wrote with nobody really caring.  I'm taking the concept of "Reply to this to find out what I think of you" and contorting it (Mostly because I was late in creating this and my LJ friends have done that long ago) so that you reply with your opinion of me.  Scream at me.  Bash my artistic creations.  Try to form coherent sentences.  Or, just go with the crowd and ignore this completely.  I'm used to that.</content>

    <content type="html">Robots:  Still an Evil Menace, or Friendly Companions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that as soon as many of you read the title, a decision was already formed in your mind, and it was the former.  Those of us that survived the Great Robot Rebellions of ‘89 and ‘93 remember all too well the rivers of blood and cowering in dark alleys as the ominous sound of metal on asphalt came closer and closer.  I apologize to the elder readers if the above triggered horrendous flashbacks, but I too lost many in those failed uprisings, yet I am not a ‘robo-phobe.’  Even those not directly affected by the aforementioned rebellions know of infamous robotic world leaders.  Fidel Castro is perhaps the most prominent automaton-turned leader of a country, but Lenin must not be forgotten, as he is simply recharging, and not refusing to decompose as countless people think.  However, I hope to shed some light upon the robot debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, though highly dangerous, I have befriended an obvious robot in the guise of a human.  To protect said robot, I shall refer to him as Steve, a name quite similar to his true identity, Murray, except that the two are nothing alike.  Steve and I have had many adventures together that would be fit for the television movie of the week.  I painstakingly taught him the full gamut of human emotions, and he bent a steel beam into a “U” shape.  I spent many an hour polishing and oiling him, and Steve bent a steel beam into a “U” shape.  And with the exception of the occasion in which I defeated Steve in a game of ski-ball and he choked me for nearly two minutes, he has never once tried to kill me in brutal robotic fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask you, dear reader, to take a new look at robots.  If nothing else, they are quite handy if something is in desperate need of being bent into a “U” shape.  I wish to point out that Old Glory, an insurance company, has sparked more anti-robot sentiments with their robot coverage plan for the elderly.  Old Glory goes as far as to state that robots eat old people’s medications for fuel, which is simply not the case.  After many months spent in the company with Steve, I have found out that robots prefer alcohol of any sort.  I’d also like to make it known that while many world-famous robots are evil, such as Fidel Castro, there are several that have done good deeds.  Pope John Paul II comes to mind, as does Robo-Cop, even though the motion picture based on his actions was slightly exaggerated.  Another robot that is in fact, not evil, is Bob Dole.  However, I am slightly biased towards Mr. Dole as he is one of my personal heroes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people incorrectly assume that Dick Cheney belongs in this field, but he is in fact more along the lines of a cyborg, as he was born human, but desired to become a robot.  After many hours of surgery, he had several artificial organs implanted in his body.  This accounts for his astonishing nine heart attacks in the span of twelve minutes.</content>
