I wrote a draft of a new story today. It's like 943 words long, and it's the best story ever written at that length. Find me a better story 943 words long and I will give you my next-born child. (I had a vasectomy.)
I didn't mean to write this story. I meant to work on a longer one I'm in the middle of, but I was thinking of the title of the shorter one, which is the only part of it that had been written. Here's the title: "Ode to a Bad Album: The Rolling Stones' Some Girls (1978)." Wouldn't you want to write a story w/ a title like that?
Maybe I'll send it to Hobart. I'll write, Dear Hobart, I hereby provide you w/ an idea for your next theme issue, music and stories, and to get you started, I hereby contribute this piece.
Think Aaron will go for that?

are they expensive? vasectomies?
not so bad if you've got insurance. But don't have one! 'Elective surgery' has started to seem as nuts to me as a phrase as 'elective gang rape.'
scott--you were at dean's "no future" post-vasectomy party, right? fun. plus, my dad got his vasectomy with herbie mann (jazz musician) while they were both in the air force brig.
barry, by all means get one. all the cool kids are doing it.
the old ann arbor aaron would have done it for sure. but this new illinois, sweater vest aaron, im not too sure. everything's different now.
does that sweater vest have a big white 'I' on it?
or am I remembering wrong?
l -- your dad and herbie mann getting clipped in the brig: that sounds like a good one. better not tell me the whole story; i might steal it....
the story's yours--my daddy issues are too massive to make anything decent of the material. plus, i'm pretty sure it's a lie.
vasectomies kick ass.
