the apple in the garden caper

i got to thinking after writing that adam and eve thing, why an apple? why was it an apple eve gave to adam in all the books? why not a banana, or a kiwi?




i'm going out on the street again today and i'm not coming back till i have the answer.

i'm back. i asked a lot of questions out there on the street to a lot of guys who just didn't want to talk. call it "omerta", call it "airhead reality", call it what you will, there's a lot of guys out there who wouldn't answer a question in exchange for a nude weekend with kate bush.

i've been trying to get to the bottom of this adam and the apple mystery and the only stuff i came up with today was metaphorical. one thing: don't ask chinese beggars about the bible, they'd rather spit in your face than answer. who knows, maybe "why was it an apple that god made eve give to adam?" means something different in their native tongue. anyway, give them a miss, that's my advice. you get more information from a dead cat.

i did get a couple of leads: the william tell thing, for example. they say he was on a paedophile rap, the kid was tied up alright, but there was no apple, the apple was just a metaphor.



and the devil is invoved just like in the pocklington scam. there's this place down in new zealand called "the devil's marbles" where you can see a split open apple as big as a bus. it's erotic, they reckon.





i'm getting there. this apple thing isn't going to beat me. oh, and by the way, when you're out on the street take some rubber boots with you. you can clean the dogshit off easier.



late night apple update

remember, it's the viscount of vavoom tomorrow, the king of the frisco jive-talk, glenn "who, me?" cripes.

i'll be back on saturday.
