Warning Lights and Rip Torn Beating

Well, as I probably should have predicted, I didn't make it through the trip without problems. I'll spare you the details, but I can report that there exists no ignition modules for my car in the town of Lannett, Alabama. Luckily, I somehow managed to limp the 200 or so miles from the spot where the "Service Engine Soon" light started its ominous blinking to my parents house and was able to find said part two towns over from there's. Here it is Wednesday evening, I'm still in Alabama, and I'm hoping, praying that I'll be able to hit the road first thing in the morning, arriving by evening to see the wife and wee one, whom I've spent my first nights away from this week.  Don't forget that tomorrow (Thursday) starts SoTShoStoWriMo.  I'll have to figure out a way to get this kicked off.  If you have any ideas or would like to join, drop me a line.

I'll leave you with this video of Norman Mailer and Rip Torn beating the living crap out of each other.

i officially don't like this at all. why must there be fighting? and that ear grab, man - that's awful.

Figures, Mailer is a hair-puller.

Maybe he wishes he was fighting Rip Taylor - the initial blow would've been confetti and a clown horn.

That made me go to youtube and look for Lawrence Tierney candid stuff. No luck. Mailer fighting Tierney probably wouldn't have lasted as long.

Two separate acquaintances have testified to the "difficulty" of Rip Torn to me, but they pale in comparison to the Tierney stories.

"Sho" begins tomorrow? I'm not even dressed!

[Jimmy Beck]

Maybe he got confused and thought it was Dennis Hopper. Hey now!

Booze sounds like Mick at Altamont. "Why are we foighting?"

My favorite part is when Mailer says, "Look what you did to my kids!"

I think I'm gonna participate in SoTShoStoWriMo, just not sure how yet. Ah, we'll see what I come up with tomorrow...
