    Hey Gary: I Have a Little List, #7

    About this ebook

    A collection of dumb things the writer texted to his friend, Gary. Gary did not listen to any of these suggestions. You probably did not even read them. That's Gary for you.  

     

    It is a dust devil of absurdist ideas and configurations. This could be the kind of book you need to read if you are waiting for the volcano to erupt. 

     

    Author Jeffrey Campbell read some of this book and gave this blurb that's good enough to be on the cover, "Yeah. I think this is one of your books that I will be skipping."  

     

    I Have a Little List is an occasional ezine where dumb lists are the king and queen.

      First time you wrote a joke? I was four years old. My family still torments me about it: “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Smoke.” “Smoke who?” “Smoke eat.” It makes zero sense and everyone laughed at me, not with me. Last time you got a bad haircut? In

      Hey Gary - David Macpherson

      Acknowledgement

      For the most part, Gary never responds to my texts. I am not upset about it. It’s just a thing. Gary doesn’t bother replying to my useless texts.

      This has not discouraged me. In fact, I have been emboldened by that. I have sent him even more texts.

      I was talking to Gary and asked him if he ever received these texts. He only smiled ruefully and shook his head.

      He got it alright.

      He said they were ridiculous and they were almost like a found poem. And with that,I realized I was going to collect them and put them out as this, the latest book of lists.

      So for many reasons, this book is dedicated to Garty. Thank you for the ideas and the friendship.

      Hey, Gary

      A Litany of Questionable Suggestions

      Hey, Gary. Who wants to make out?

      Hey, Gary. Wanna steal some jars that have brains in them?

      Hey, Gary. Wanna open a food truck? We can do cannibal cuisine.

      Hey, Gary. Do you want to take over the world with a podcast and a warehouse full of melted sorbet?

      Hey, Gary. Do you want to sell used toupees from the trunk of a Dodge Dart?

      Hey, Gary. Let’s dig underneath Webster Square and build an Underground Worcester.

      Hey, Gary. How about we go around and hit people over the head with heavy hammers to see if the brain damage will make them have telepathic powers.

      Hey, Gary. Let’s braid each other’s hair. No. Not that hair.

      Hey, Gary.  Remember when we were kids? When we were young and carefree and had wheels
