The word of the day is 'thank you', or 'arigato gozaimas'. I am now safely in Oklahoma and I just wanted to say thank you to all of my Denver friends. I moved to Denver in September of 1999, and the past five years have been wonderful because of all of the friends I made there. The problem with this, is that now I feel that I have two homes, and I must always come back and visit Denver when I come back to the states. I will be in Tulsa until the 21st at which time I will leave for Japan. Until then, my Denver phone number will work, so everyone that just cannot get enough of me can continue to kiss my ass by phone--I mean--can continue to call me at my old number.
I leave my country quite fearful of its future, and anyone needing to seek refuge from it will be welcome to stay with me in Japan, although my apartment may be no bigger than an American closet so you may have to sleep in a fetal position in the corner. I do expect all of you to come and visit as often as possible, even if you don't want to move there to clean my house.
Traveling notes: one of the thrills of coming back to Tulsa is always being around my brother. Since I claimed the name ‘Meatleg’, and he has the same last name (therefore having just as much right as I to claim the name), he goes by the alias Meatleg007. From here on, I will refer to him as 007 in order to avoid confusion. If anyone has ever wanted to know what I would be like if I smoked or drank, one would only need to meet my brother: I think I would be the same, only MEANER and more pragmatic. Example:
While driving to Tulsa we came upon a disturbing smell (this one was from OUTside the car). After I expressed my duress at being subject to it, I was berated by my brother’s practicality:
“Damn, what is that awful smell?” I asked.
007 sneered at me and said, “Who fucking cares? I mean, let’s pick a problem we can solve shall we?”
While crossing Kansas and Oklahoma, there are several toll roads (in a *free* country) to pass through. At one of them, the teller in the booth asked:
“Driving straight through?”
007 replied, “Well I WAS driving straight though, but I had stop at this fucking toll booth!”
That’s all for now. I will be uploading pictures of my Halloween parties, goodbye parties and guilty parties ASAP.
Later
Erich von Meatleg
