Booze Will Be The Ultimate Judge ... !!!

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

The three judges

determining 

my guilt or innocence

will not be wearing

black robes

 

They will

—however—

be wearing

black masks

 

Contrary to the implications

of the title,

alcohol has nothing to do 

with my case:

 

The code name

of the chief Justice 

is

emBooze

 

His associate justices 

are

LT and elMann

 

And

I could not be happier

with this information

For Crimes I May Have OR May Not Have Commit

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

For crimes I may have

OR

may not have commit

 

I must do something

about it

 

Being tried at

The Court Of

The Elephantine Ego

 

Where they do know

things about me

I fail to know

Three Pages About Jefferson High School In Los Angeles

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

(1)

 The B-Sharp Jazz Quartet

is a high-energy

and multi-talented band

with a well-deserved

global following

 

The band leader is

Randall Willis

 

He had been

the music teacher

at Jefferson

AND

the music director

for "donut concerts"

staged by yours truly

 

Randall + two of his students

performed in 

some of those concerts

 

My hand is included in

the photo above

to show how desperate

I am to hear from

my friend 

and colleague

There is a new building

under construction 

in the middle

of the campus

I will only say

the following

about it:

 

The last time

I was there,

a Latino security guard

—with very limited English—

spoke one word perfectly

in English 

when he pointed out

this building and said

"Boondoggle" 

The construction

has been ongoing

for five years

and is nowhere near

completion

There is little money

available to

I May Risk Losing My Court Case For This But ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Before anyone accuses me of VOODOO ... 

 

Someone who died on February 21st

is listed on an Obituary Page for February 20th. 

 

When a father has taken his 11-year-old son

to a 1960 World Series game but 

—years later—the latter

wrote the following poem:

 

If forgetting were an art

I'd be Van Gogh

and forget where

my ear was

and cut off my toe

 

The two of us attended nearly a dozen games

at Yankee Stadium and I have blogged 

the beJesus out of most of them:

ALL of those games

were prior to 1971

when the boy became

an adult orphan! 

 

Since that time,

I may have claimed to have attended

the 7th Game of the 1960 World Series

 

That is an utter impossibility

because BILL MAZEROSKI

of the Pittsburgh Pirates

could never have hit 

the only Walk-Off Home Run

in the history of professional sports

in the United States of America

 

He proceeded to do exactly that

but in Pittsburgh

—Not the Bronx—

Quoting A Lawyer I've Known For 70 Years ...

Whitestone 

was lucky:

we only got 

eleven-and-a-half

inches of snow

 

*** 

 

I promised 

my attorney/friend

anonymity

but his family 

is no stranger to these pages:

his brother introduced me

to the first cigarette

I ever smoked

but that was1000 

phlegmatic coughs ago

and

my last cigarette

is far away

Speaking of lawyers, 

this GodFather of Math

would like to extend his sympathies

to the family of Tom Hagen.

 

The Corleone family

will certainly make his funeral

an affair to remember.

Freedom Of Choice ... Goes Out The Window

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

How foolish 

I was

to believe

I had entire

and 

exclusive control

of this blog 

—once upon a time—

  

Then

a very official notice 

was hand-delivered

yesterday

and 

suddenly it felt like

my head was in

a vice grip 

 

The Supreme Court

Of

The Elephantine Ego

will put

Paul Oliverio

on trial

no later than 

March 11, 2026

______________

________________

 

However, 

he must first post

ten blog pages

including 

three related to

Jefferson High School

[in Los Angeles]

+ 

three "PhotoVerio" pages

+ 

one related to

selling original jokes

—in 1981—

+ 

three pages

of his own choice

 

His trial will take place

in the parking lot

of a Denny's Restaurant

—college adjacent—

in either

San Diego or Orange County

 

That is where he will meet

the woman he refers to as

Cat E. Clism

 

Her real name is 

Gertrude Hoppe

 

During World War II, 

her Heidelberg-born

Grandmother had helped

Jews escape to Britian

but the late-night customers

at Denny's call her

"Momma"

and none of these 

young party animals

goes home hungry 

 

Of course,

Oliverio can attach 

copyright symbols

where ever 

he so desires

 

The crimes he is being 

accused of

relate exclusively

to the 

McDonald's 

2026 Superbowl Half-Time

Program

 

The first question

he will have to answer

at his trial is:

 

What did you know

and 

when did you know it?
