wendell 2's Comments
I was also fairly delighted with what I got from the Mystery Sale until I saw that Neatorama's Favorite Artist may have plagiarized a bad pun from ME. It's explained poorly on my blog at http://www.wendell.me/me-before-cats with a silly digression about The Who (and let me assure everyone that you did not send out 40-year-old Who albums, but I wouldn't have minded if you did).

I'd seen his name on a few things before, but I was seriously introduced to Shel S. by his delightfully raunchy album of novelty songs from the early '70s titled "Freakin' at the Freakers' Ball" featuring such proudly questionable material as "I Got Stoned And Missed It", "Polly In A Porny", "Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love Most" and the oddly kid-friendly "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out".
He also wrote the 'Male Chauvinist Anthem' "Put Another Log on the Fire" ("cook me up some bacon and some beans, go out to the car and change the tire... and then tell me why you're leavin' me")
And don't forget the deeply incorrect 'response song' to his most famous work: "The Father of a Boy Named Sue" telling his side of the story: "When thru the door with an awful scream comes the ugliest queen I've ever seen, He says my name is Sue how do you do then he hits me with his purse".
It's kind of a shame that shelsilverstein.com is set up as 100% kid-friendly.

Hello, Diet Travel Agency? I was on one of your group tours, and they stopped in back of this place and started pushing everybody into the "Deliveries Only" entrance, and... well, have you ever seen the movie "Soylent Green"?
