Rain Man

The keenest, most dramatic, least describable thing in an individual is his difference, his permanent separation, his intimate mobile sequestered worldness.... While having this difference,...a self yearns, pines, longs-to be like other things. The self has a lust for multitudinous identification. -Eli Siegel*********Top THAT!********* ********* "The real Che Guevara : Terrorist, murderer, Stalinist." You already own the shirt/pin/hat-whatever. Now maybe you should learn a little about the man.********************************************I knew my name, was able to dress myself, was able to speak the language but I was entirely inept, without design, I was a meaningless conglomeration of ideas. I was an idiot. -C. Bukowski******************There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell. - William Tecumseh Sherman ******July 19, 1879*******************************Hiram Ulysses Grant Grant (above) and Death Mask (below)He had, one man said, "a puzzled pathos, as of a man with a problem before him of which he does not understand the terms." I can relate, pal. ******************************************* Myrtle Corbin "was born a dipygus, meaning that she had two separate pelvises side by side from the waist down." She delivered 3 children from one uterus and 2 from the other. It's been said that the uterus opposite the one engaging in intercourse would often become impregnated. Yes, her husband had a preference.********************** Annie Taylor was the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. She took the trip at age 43/53 (disputed), hoping she would cash in with her newly found fame. She died in poverty. In Niagara Falls, NY."If it was with my dying breath, I would caution anyone against attempting the feat... I would sooner walk up to the mouth of a cannon, knowing it was going to blow me to pieces than make another trip over the Fall."********* Captain Kidd was tarred after execution and left in a gibbet over the Thames for "nearly two years.""My name was Captain Kidd, when I sail'd, when I sail'd, And so wickedly I did, God's laws I did forbid, When I sail'd, when I sail'd. I roam'd from sound to sound, And many a ship I found, And then I sunk or burn'd, When I sail'd. I murder'd William Moore, And laid him in his gore, Not many leagues from shore, When I sail'd. Farewell to young and old, All jolly seamen bold, You're welcome to my gold, For I must die, I must die. Farewell to Lunnon town, The pretty girls all round, No pardon can be found, and I must die, I must die, Farewell, for I must die. Then to eternity, in hideous misery, I must lie, I must lie."***********Few have the ability to stare at an old shoe for ten minutes or to think of odd things like who invented the doorknob?They become unalive because they are unable to pause, undo themselves, unkink, unsee, unlearn, roll clear.Listen to their untrue laughter, then walk away.** -C.
