Eyes of World > How Urban Outfitters rips everyone off, Part 34
Carlin, Nevada
September 1983
I just checked my news channel. It looks like someone, probably from Urban Outfitters, set me up my own news channel. The Ed Smith ball cap story is at the top. Funny. I guess I could be seeing a check for $20. or $2,020. But probably not. Just an “Eh Cheef!” squeezed out [...]

Wunder Dread > How Urban Outfitters rips everyone off, Part 30
Saddle soap is hard to find. I just went to two stores and struck out at both, Maybe Urban Outfitters can start selling saddle soap.
But we must remember The Journey is the Destination and there is no other way to explain all the crap that has happened as I have tried to make a living [...]

1420 Hudson Avenue
Salt Lake City, Utah
December 1994
Boy that one sparked another one with only one re-lighting in between.
Not the only other time I got something returned, this other time is funnier.
In about 1992 I met a girl named Karen, better not tell you her last name because she worked at DSW and knows how to [...]

You owe me > How Urban Outfitters rips everyone off, part 21
Twenty-one is my lucky number. There’s one of 25 random facts.
I once had an interesting interaction with Bob Hope. There’s another. Not likely that you will get 23 more. public urination
Or do I owe you.
Because that is what happens alot of the time and has happened to me. You marry Rich with Successful and you [...]

Image is everything > How Urban Outfitters rips everyone off, part 20
Well the pages are coming and there is no one here to stop them. So I will take Neil Young’s advice and let them come when they come.
Keep the faucet on because as Hank Williams Jr said “every good song takes about 15 minutes to write.”
So I guess I need to look at this idea. [...]

Rich or little is as it seams > How Urban Outfitters rips everyone off, Part 19
I just went to the story where I spent $30.00 for Sunday Dinner and a couple things.
Standing in the Express lane I had a thought.
Thirty Dollars. Three of it for the Guinea Pigs greens. A spoon roast whatever that is a half a loaf of good bread, butter and Scrubbing Bubbles ( product I buy [...]

A pirate’s booty > The Recycled Record Cover Journals, Part 16
A clink of glasses and silverware hit him like a nine-iron to the head. The humid floral air was but a damp washcloth. Fresh white linen was laid out underneath full place settings. A young maid called out in a singsong patois. “Come on Mr. Jermon. No soon come. Breakfast is ready, Now!”
“It’s second pot [...]

Life and tea > How Urban Outfitters rips off eveyone, Part 14
Life is strange.
Tea is good.
I like short paragraphs.
I know a guy named Gary who talked about “tapping the flow”.
That would often happen at a northern California amphitheater. with little pieces of paper, or occasionally a gel.
But when he explained it, his voice would quake and you could feel it.
There was resonance back and forth.
The flow [...]

The New York Times Best Seller > How Urban Outfitters rips off everyone, Part 13
I awoke this morning averagley groggy. We lost a Guinea Pig baby here last night. The mother warmed it though it was obviously dead.
I decided to name it Larry and not have reincarnation as per Ralph.
As I re-read what I wrote last night I realized this is a blessing. One man’s treasure is another man’s [...]
