Same as it ever was, same as it ever was --- Talking Heads Plus Everyone on Earth

There are some subtle differences between the Talking Heads and every one on earth, the most notable quality is a quantitative one. Also, everyone on earth still has their band together. Possibly Everyone on earth didn’t peak in the 1980’s, a dark time for hair and clothing. As the guy who used to be the front man for the talking heads once sang in a song; I say something once, why say it again?

Things are the same as they ever were only more so. There is an excess of same old, same old, a preponderance of much of a muchness, differences are staying away in droves. I went to the grocery store today. It has groceries; no lions in or out of cages, no staircases rising into the fog, no live swinging little four piece band. Just groceries. I didn’t even see a clerk argue with a produce man;

“I’m gross!”

“I’m Grocer!”

That’s a little joke. A very little joke, or a normal sized joke with very little humor to it. It’s not the size of the joke in the funny, but the size of the funny in the joke. To the best of my knowledge no one in the talking heads ever sang that line; I did. If we were drawing up teams I would be on the side of everyone else. Score one for us.

If you shop at a Krogers and are with me the answer to the question Which came first the chicken or the egg? Is The egg. I shop windershins at a Krogers. I don’t know why exactly. If you shop windershins, counter clockwise for those of you without shins, you start in the produce aisle. I think I start in the produce aisle because if I ended in it I might not get produce. I dislike grocery shopping and by the time I get to the end I’m not in a very good mood. Going counterclock wise, assuming you start at six, eggs are at ten O’clock and chicken is at seven thirtyish. Cooked chicken. Raw chicken is at noonish. Doesn’t matter. I’m pretty sure neither set of chickens laid the eggs.

Hours have passed. I’m not sure where they went. If there is a place hours go unseen it is either huge or the hours fold into one another and take up no space at all.

I hate grocery shopping too. I would almost rather go hungry but no one else in this house would go for that :-)
