January 16, 1995 On MLK Day the following happened to fracas: After Monday's skiing we fracas & pappa fracas] headed down the mountain through a slight drizzle. Dad braked entering a downhill left turn (oncoming traffic on the left, hundreds of feet of 45 degree dropoff on the right) when the 4-inch sheet of snow on our roof broke free and shot forward to cover the windshield. Oh holy f**k. At this point we're as blind as Ray Charles and don't even know when the turn ends, so we're equally likely to straighten out and go off a cliff or continue turning after the road straightens out and hit oncoming traffic and/or the mountainside. It's at this point that the monoblade wiper on the Mercedes starts shoving the snow off the windshield. (It was on intermittant due to the drizzle.) Dad cranks the wiper to full bore and we complete the turn. I will never fail to clear snow off the roof again. Ever.

January 21, 2005 Jack Vincennes gets clipped by a car on his way to work, begining primer-dom's weekend from hell (see first 3 pages at least)

January 22, 2005 Dan Werr goes to a sex shop to buy a coatrack which consists of a narrow bronze column, from the top of which radiate four eight-inch erect penises. It cost $350. As I made the purchase, I confided to the clerk--a woman old enough to be my grandmother--that I foolishly imagined that casually displaying such an item in the entry to my home would portray me as sophisticated and detached. I admitted that I was so afraid of appearing afraid of sexuality that I was willing to risk looking obsessive about it.

She looked around and made sure there was no one else in the store, and then she offered to take me to the back room, where she said we would find the two most exquisite examples of pornography in existence. I followed, intrigued enough, but imagining that I would be disappointed. As we walked, she motioned toward the wares in the store. "We buy these cheap approximations of sex," she said, "in the hope that they might serve as cheap approximations of love."

I said nothing, and she pulled back a satin curtain, revealing a small storage space. In the back, there was a steel door, which she unlocked with a keycode. I walked inside. I looked to the left: there was a 24" x 36" photograph of a pretty blonde girl, in a mall, looking right at me, and reaching her hand toward me. Her eyes managed to convey that she needed me to go to her and she was terribly afraid I wouldn't. Then I looked to the right: there was a life-sized crystal sculpture of the most beautiful woman that could ever be imagined--except I never could have imagined her. She crouched on a pedestal, her eyes looked sideways, her face contorted into an expression of complete disdain, and I felt as though she intentionally used her perfection to mock my failures. Around the pedestal was an inscription, which said: "For what could I ever need you?"

I was so transfixed by this crystal figure that I never once looked back at the photograph. I just stood and stared at this sneering goddess, afraid to touch her that I might stain her perfect skin with the oil in my fingerprints, and I had to be led out by the clerk, and I was weeping, and I hated myself, and I knew I was worthless.

When I got home to my apartment, the parking lot was filled with emergency vehicles, and three hundred residents filled their porches and balconies and the dark, rainy sidewalks. They gawked at the drama spilling from the apartment three doors from mine, where a man had killed the woman that lived there, and then he had killed himself, and he had left a note that said: "This is the only way I could possibly matter to her."

But all I could think about was that I had to carry my new coat rack, that lewd monstrosity, up my steps in front of all those people. I tripped on the base of it as I walked up the steps, fell and skinned my knee, and one of the bronze phalli bruised my shoulder, and a paramedic walked down the stairs past me and gave me a cold look of scorn and disgust. I came inside and found four coats to hang and I swore that I would never take any one of them off, as though four coats could protect me from my own shame.

January 31, 1982 On Super Bowl Sunday (or was the Superbowl on 1/24 that year? - either way, it's on SBS) Benji, who at the time worked as a substitute letter carrier, gets in the following accident: The boss told me to be careful "the roads were greasy" I took off to get the 4-5 friggin letters from Fort Hunter, Hagaman, etc. Coming out of Broadalbin, it was snowing lightly and about 10 degrees. The roads were ice. I skidded off a steep hill and thought "I'm dead" because all I saw was the embankment and snow. The snow covered guard rails which I slammed into. The truck was undrivable, and a tow truck was called by the Sheriff. (While I'm in the smashed up truck, the salt truck went down the hill. One minute earlier and I woulda been fine.) I sat in a freezing cold gas station calling my bosses over and over before I got one. He came and got me, and said we had to finish the GD collection before we could get home. So, me, the 49er fan, missed the whole first half.
