Soy Bean Soup for the Soul
I have to give it up. But bacon tastes too good in the morning.
Let me close my eyes and imagine never eating a spare rib again;
in other words - never chewing the doctored flesh right off the
bare bone ever again. I have to admit I've only been a dedicated
vegetarian for 35 hours - but I wish I could give you this feeling.

(Long Live the Revolution)
'By Revolution we mean that the
present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice, must
change. Producers or labourers, in spite of being the most necessary
element of society, are robbed by their exploiters of their labour
and deprived of their elementary rights.

The Flamingo: History and Times - The Birth of a Gambler's Paradise
The commercialization of betting lines and crap shoots, counting
cards and staging fights - it was the beginning. The bright lights
of America's playground, birth of legalized sins in emerging cities
- it all got started at the nitty gritty Flamingo Hotel.

their best sets in at off-peak hours.

Astrological Warfare (The Moonlight to Moonshine Remix)
The sky could tell stories, it held omens. It foretold conditions
and told the world's first poems.
Since prehistoric times, humankind has attempted to fathom its earthly
experience. The sky predicted weather conditions, which in turn
affected travel, migration, hunting, and agriculture. Daylight and
darkness were measured by the rise and fall of those two majestic
objects, the Sun and the Moon. The ancients used the sky as their
blueprint for action. Observations were made regarding how Mother
Nature mirrored events in the heavens. Father Time sure bagged a
beauty, didn't he? Shellfish activity and the rhythms of the tides
coincided with phases of the moon. (Apparently so do women's menstrual
cycles) Seafaring peoples, lacking compasses, used the North Star
and other constellations for navigation. Egyptians repeatedly observed
that the Nile flooded every time the star Sirius rose with the Sun.
The clockwork - turn it around like clockwork - that the ancients
observed in the sky shaped and defined their annual calendars. No
mistakes - no leap years - no daylight savings. Those are new school
46 BC Julius Caesar glitches. Et tu Brute? Bottom line: The time-honored
system of celestial phenomenon worked.
