dog cat eye
A dog will make eye contact. A cat will, too, but a cat's eyes don't even look entirely warm-blooded to me, whereas a dog's eyes look human except less guarded. A dog will look at you as if to say, "What do you want me to do for you? I'll do anything for you." Whether a dog can in fact, do anything for you if you don't have sheep (I never have) is another matter. The dog is willing.
bookstores innocent pleasure
An author is a person who can never take innocent pleasure in visiting a bookstore again.
real eggplant squash
I am open to the accusation that I see compost as an end it itself. But we do grow some real red damn tomatoes such as you can't get in the stores. And potatoes, beans, lettuce, collards, onions, squash, cauliflower, eggplant, carrots, peppers. Dirt in you own backyard, producing things you eat. Makes you wonder.
mother ears public-relations
Vincent van Gogh's mother painted all of his best things. The famous mailed decapitated ear was a figment of the public relations firm engaged by Van Gogh's dealer.
blue gnarly enemy
English is an outrageous tangle of those derivations and other multifarious linguistic influences, from Yiddish to Shoshone, which has grown up around a gnarly core of chewy, clangorous yawps derived from ancestors who painted themselves blue to frighten their enemies.
people want lasts
I do not Twitter. I don't want to Twitter, and I don't see any point in Twittering. The last thing I want to do is tell people what I'm doing at the moment because I'm probably not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
south
The North isn't a place. It's just a direction out of the South.
people done want
People don't necessarily want or need to be done unto as you would have them do unto you. They want to be done unto as they want to be done unto.
pigs ham sound
Ham's substantial, ham is fat. Ham is firm and sound. Ham's what God was getting at When He made pigs so round.
cat home animal
Cats have intercepted my footsteps at the ankle for so long that my gait, both at home and on tour, has been compared to that of a man wading through low surf.
stupid mean people
Certainly people have said a lot of deeply unfortunate and stupid things in Southern accents, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the accent itself.
football college vanderbilt
Going to Vanderbilt did a lot of things for me, and one of the things it cured me of was the need to follow college football.
library pants firsts
The first time I walked into a library, I got so excited I almost wet my pants.
writing drug statistics
The last time somebody said, 'I find I can write much better with a word processor', I replied, 'They used to say the same thing about drugs'.
