Frank Miller, �Sin City: The Big Fat Kill�
Okay, that last review kinda sucked. Sorry. They can�t all be winners, and I blame it on the Red Bill that I had before following with sixty million Newcastles at the Punk Rock DJ thing. I couldn�t sleep and I was drunk. Vonnegut has his problems with the phone, mine comes with the keyboard.
Anyway.
So I got this little gem with today�s news feed. The Education State Rankings were published showing the best-to-worst educational rankings in the United States. Massachusetts got top of the list, probably because if you can spell Massachusetts you already have a leg up on somebody from say, Texas. New Mexico got worst, declared the dumbest state in the union. California didn�t do much better, however, ranking in near the bottom at number 43.
Not that this is a surprise to me, as I already know there are plenty of insipid drooling mongoloids in this state. All you have to do is talk to my downstairs neighbors.
But what do I care, huh? I got a plane ticket out of this joint. So I checked the list � Hawaii comes in at 42.
All right, Jeffersonians, let�s start clapping rhythmically.
- Well, Dean�s movin� on up
To the seaside
To go get another degree in Hawai�i
Dean�s movin� on up
To the isle
And go say hi to his dad, who wants to die.
Dean�s done his fair share of bitchin�
He�s restrained the urge to kill
But mostly he sits around whi-n-ing
Which makes him the quite bitter pill
But now he has immunizations
All that�s left to do is pack
For tropical drinks
And girls in bikini�s
There ain�t nothing wrong with that!
�Cause Dean�s moving on up
To the seaside
He�ll be leaving this continent past july
Dean�s movin� on up
So say goodbye
He�ll maybe find some peace
On Hawai�i

The book aspect has sort of fallen by the wayside recently. I have things on my mind. Again, sorry. I�ll say this though: when this came into the store, I thought I already had it. After all, when I saw Sin City, the movie, of which this tale is source material, I knew what was going to happen.
As it turns out, I didn�t have this book. So why did I know exactly what was going to happen? I don�t have the individual issues, and I don�t have friends who own this. Did I know what was going to happen because every Frank Miller Sin City yarn has a mother being threatened to get information, girls in garter belts, a revenge motif, and castrations?
Probably.
Awesome.
