TGO 7 / TGO Radio's Greatest Hits / Vegan Heathens

Because even if I’m working on something no one will ever read, it’s still better than having no Purpose whatsoever, I’ve narrowed potential ideas for another book (henceforth “TGO 7” until an actual project is decided upon) down to five, and began floating them among a few intimates Thursday afternoon. Close to 11pm Thursday I received a text message from a female I know in Tennessee; she liked two of the five. “Noted,” I typed back. “Thanks.”

But apparently simply voicing a preference wasn’t good enough. In another text message about 30 minutes later, I was informed of the following: “If [one of the ideas] makes someone cry on national TV, I will personally drive to Indiana and give you a blowjob. You can even pull my hair and call me names.”

Brilliant. Hard to argue with that.

Work on “TGO Radio’s Greatest Hits” concluded last week, but I can’t help but think something has been missed, so some more time will be taken to see if other material exists.

Headline: “Vegans Sentenced for Starving Their Baby.” You bet. Here’s the pivotal exchange: “Defense lawyers said the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to the lifestyle of vegans, who typically use no animal products. They said Sanders and Thomas did not realize the baby, who was born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.” And we’re not talking about a couple 15-year-olds to whom no one was paying attention; Mom was 27 and Dad was 31, and somehow their lifestyle precluded them from remembering babies need food, or else they’ll die. Fucking heathens. Better to execute these jackasses than put them on the jailhouse rolls.
