How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

I remember one Halloween I got half a pillow sack full of candy. When I got home I poured it out and just looked at it. I’d never seen so much candy. Later that night, lying in bed, it occurred to me that my family knew of my candys whereabouts, so I got up and slaughtered them in their beds. Then I killed the neighbors and eventually the whole damn town. After that I opened a chain of town killing restaurants and that’s when things really started to take off.
