 May 3, 2025 operatic

(Un)certain as to to who(m) / to expect to arrive at the house - and when - of (t)his Saturday after before during and after it becomes another Sadurday night and I ain’t got Nobody (hooker please, -id.) , it’s to (t)his adolescent bedroom that  (y)our man Cin the humble(d) narrator of (t)his Take This Thing Back to Baltime-moires and operatic is after retreating to hulk-smash away at the same, in spite of the pleasant early May Valley weather up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up in (t)here because ‘ it’s the safest’, (y)our man Cin tried and failed to mansplain similarly (t)his decision to use one of the chairs in the living room but not / another before during and after a meal summer last to a visiting guest bewildered as we do about / the same because otherwise cringe, soap operatic all / we gots.

Course it’s a ‘ tower ‘ that five-lettered wordle that results when a bunch of giraffes decide to congregate together as we do - this we learned last TGIFFriday night, innit G before during and after the trivia night held at the Sens’ Army Plex in West O-town - or so hu(wo)manity has decided to refer to a bunch of giraffes anyway, the giraffes are indifferent, just as a bunch of crows is / a murder and a thousand lawyers at the bottom of / a lake is a good / start, as the congregation of miscreants’ joke punchline has it better, and (y)our man Cin and the other (wo)members of the trivia team last night are after beating themselves / up senseless(ly) as we do today for missing that two-point question trivia last night about what bunch of animals is referred to as a ‘ tower ‘ because THE ANSWER ‘ giraffes ‘ is after being so obvious / in hindsight given the height  / of them, murder is all / we gots.  

What it is at the trivia TGIFFriday night fundraiser is that no end of the same is after floating around these days morning noon and night - even more so / than usual if such a thing / is possible given the (sk)internet (hooker please, -id.) and all / that, ‘it’s’, (y)our man said it better and apropos (t)his so-called smart phone, ‘my little porn machine’ - and ‘all you have to do’ (y)our man the wheelchair-bound miscreant  in Michael Mann’s immor(t)al movie Heat tries and fails to mansplain the same better to Robert de Niro’s bank robber Neal MacAuley in that  crime epic of a film better and apropos how (y)our man MacAuley and the other members of his crew will be after disabling the bank’s alarm systems, two telcos and / a cellular, before during and after the(ir) latest heist that five-lettered wordle because hacked, ‘is to know how to track / it down’, ‘my little porn machine is all / we gots.

Course no self-respecting trivia master or trivia night(mare) these days will be after allowing cellular or telco devices to be used by the competitors before during and after the same -  ‘ hu(wo)mans ‘ , (y)our man and Rugby Club and Trivia team-mate both DT correctly answered the question last night about what species / of mammal has kilt the most hu(wo)mans on god’s green earth and seas so far before during and after the(ir) cameo so far up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on (t)his Dog-and-Pony SHow, innit god,  hu(wo)manity surely and by an order / of magnitude the most murderous of other hu(wo)mans and other ma(ni)mmals both because blood-thirsty as we do, but got no points for it seeing as the Trivia Master stuck to his assertion that ‘ hippos’ of all / things is the most dangerous mamm(anim)al because hippopautamuses (hooker please, oh wait, what?) must be after spearing and gouging hu(wo)mans in the(ir) jungle hunting grounds morning noon and night with their horns to compete with the likes / of us, innit Jazz when it comes to murderousness because horny - and so it was pen / and paper put to use last night by the competing teams to record / and score each other’s answers  because (y)our man the trivia master, dressed in a colorful ensemble including stripey pants and a top hat as we do, was after trying and failing to keep / it fair, ‘the best tech’, (y(our (wo)man the pianist(a)  and one of two members of the two-(wo)man musical ensemble audeed and videed at a recent Pontiac Enchante (free ! flog, classy long-haired music all year round up in here) musical concert at Venturing Hills farm up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up in here as of late, the other being a natural horn player , a natural horn of course being a brass instrument with no valves at / all, and as opposed to the three-valve trumpet or three-valve trombone, which (y)our man Cin the humble(d) narrator of (t)his Take THis THing Back to Balti-memoires and trivia Himself was after blowing into before during and after his high school musical career in O-Town because Ashbury Ashbury Ra Ra Ra and his big fat mouth and ombushure (?) too big for the trumpet, innit Satchmo, ‘is the best / tech’, horny is all / we gots.

Other questions and answers was questionable too of course, a good deal of the joy to be found at these joyous trivia nights comes from the yelling and screaming to be found and related to / the same, and required as we do under the circumstances of the events generally held at sports bars with the(ir) over / the top television screens and sound systems - ‘oh yay, another’, (y)our man Cin, well into Regime Zero year elvenseseseseseseses last month and before during and after audeeing about the(ir) latest in a long line of venues for a lunch date at work that four-lettered word, ‘brewery’ - or just plain, well, trivial, (y)our man(atee) Trumpy of course that wigga in the white house the answer to which ‘celebrity’ was the most goggled in 2024, and ‘Lily’ the most popular name for a newborn baby girl in the UK for that very same year because SFW, innit Jenke, (y)our man Cin thought surely it was ‘Kate’ for the name of the Brexit Princess, or the name of Kate’s (fe)male child because SFW and surely a trick / question as we do or anyway a leading question or a riddle someone hulk-smashed it better wrapped in a clue, wrapped in an enigma or words to that / extent, over / the top is all / we gots,

Course usually / you lose - ‘someone’, (y)our (bar)man at Gentle Annie’s from Cin’s halcyon pre-regime zero days and nights and decades and amateur pugilist replied better before during and after being aksed about the same and his boxing record of 1 win and 27, or several , anyway, defeats , innit Dez, ‘gots / to lose’ - but sometimes you even win / these things, innit Earthly JC, you and your sisters propelled (y)our team to First Place a few years / decades ago at the Rugby Club trivia night, ‘Moses’, (y)our (wo)man the host(ess) with the most(ess) sang after you before during and after spotting you at the stroke / of three that night in the Gatineau Hills, ‘Moses !’,  and before during and after spending hours of drinking with to her son-in-law Napoleon  (hooker please, -id., oh wait, what?) and of promising to be ‘your Waterloo’ as promised because ‘Julius Caesar’, (y)our man the Brexit actor Ian Holm as Napoleon Bonaparte in the criminally-underknown Terry Guillam film Time Bandits reels off the heights of his vertically-challenged historical predecessors to his drinking and dining guests that night the little fellows and titular dwarves (hooker please, -id., oh wait, what?) because diminutive, ‘four-foot five inches, Marcus Aurelius, four foot / nothing’  usually / you lose is all / we gots.
