Mephistito
Yes, “the little Mephisto.” The wide, regal triangular patch of hair on my chin is now a clumsy splotch of its former self. My problem is over-correction. Every time I trim too far on one side I try to retain the triangular symmetry by over-trimming the other side. It’s quite the cannibalistic cycle. Tonight I’m euphemizing the obscenity of geometry that defiles my visage. Muerte el Mephisito! (I’m probably massacring the verb tense.) After I take the razor to my chin, nothing will be left but a small patch of soul. Yes! A little fuzz under my bottom lip will remain to highlight my silky smooth, sensually soft, subtly supple lips. I will be the proud bearer of a soul patch. That’s right, I got soul and I’m suppa bad! (“Though we need it. Soul power! Gotta have it. Soul power! Give it to me. Soul Power!”)

Choo-choo! New train o’ thought… I wonder if J.B.’s Soul Power is on my top 100 list? I did add three songs last night to my list, Collective Soul’s Dandy Life and Led Zepp's Tangerine and That’s the Way. I also took off the Allman Brother’s Whipping Post and Blue Sky.

Choo-choo! Tangerine and That’s the Way are two inseperable songs. One flows seamlessly into the next. The two complete each other in a Jerry McGuire kinda way. Other examples of Siamese Twin songs are (Just a short off the top of my head list.):

Garbage’s Hammering in my Head and Push It
GZA’s Crash Your Crew and Breaker, Breaker
Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid
Missy Elliott’s Lick Shots and Get Ur Freak On
Pink Floyd’s Brain Damage and Eclipse
OutKast's Atliens and Wheelz of Steel
Bruce Springsteen's Badlands and Adam Raised a Cain
Rob Zombie's Dragula and Living Dead Girl

Say it LOUD!
