Say No to Japan

The good news is that the growth of Yao Ming coincides with my rediscovery. That's all I've been thinking today. That and "Dubai!" In fact, I have adopted "Dubai!" as my hello and goodbye. In case there are any home runs. I also use it to exclaim joy or confusion or sadness. Basically, it works in all situations. "Dubai?" Brilliant. DUBAI!

Yao Ming was reminding me today that this whole rediscovery thing works out quite swell. One of the side-effects is when you're walking and your thinking so fast and so much that your brain says "Hey buddy." Your brain thinks so too. You each sit down on the stump there over by the creek and you put on your thinking caps. The grass is showing right past the snow. It's growing. Not the grass though, the sign. KEEP OF GRASS, OR ELSE WE'LL THROW BRICKS OFF YOU. You don't want unidentified beings to throw bricks off you so you sure as shit stay of the grass. So does your brain even though it makes no sense. You also don't think your bouncy enough for the job and neither does your brain. Your brain again says "Hey buddy." That's what Yao Ming was reminding me about.

In my dream, Yao Ming was dancing interpretively. It was a nice dance where he waved his arm like the cloud waves at the sun when it's sexually aroused. I didn't think Yao Ming could do that. He can. I say, "Yao, Dubai!" Yao launches into some tirade about how difficult it has become to scale brick buildings. Something about the cement having worms or some other such plague. So when you try to climb them, the plague germs all come out and they tickle your cells. You can't feel the tickle though, you just fall and break your leg and three ears. The third ear you bought just in case you should break an ear. Dubai! Betcha' never thought you'd break the replacement ear AND two others. The world is madness.

Speed dial, #5. Yao Ming.
J: Hey Yao, I was thinking the other day about Dubai and I wanted to tell you something about it but I forgot how to speed dial until today so I just speed dialed you and I'm going to tell you now.
Y: Dubai motherfucker, motherfucking Dubai.
J: Exactly! How'd you know Yao, have they been speaking to you too!?
Y: Du-fucking-bai!
J: Well goddamn, we're in this together then. We're taking them down. The Roman empire will be no more.
Y: Well you've got to be careful, they have an ambush setup in the woods and if your flank pushes too far beyond the archers, I'm afraid you'll have no defense.
J: Alright. Thanks Yao.

The good thing about Yao is he discovered the treasure in my ceiling. His head knocked it from the sky. My hands aren't even tall enough to touch that. Crazy! Dubai! These days, I just sit there on my treasure and do nothing but think about the treasure and treasure my good fortune which is the treasure. That's the sort of thing a person does when they discover treasure. They retire. No more need to go on living like you hadn't discovered a treasure. Especially if you discovered it without a map and fighting crocodiles and being on the sea and so forth. If you discover a treasure while not doing any of that stuff, that's some good discovering and you should be proud. Technically Yao discovered the treasure, but I forgot about that just now. Dang, I wish I discovered that treasure. Oh well, guess it's back to work.
