POPSDallas police seek pudgy naked backyard dancer I wrote a poem a while back. It goes as follows. I tell my wife that our neighbor is nuts. Oh the strange things he does on our lawn! She laughs it off and doesn't believe me, 'cause he always waits till she's gone. SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN MY NEIGHBORS AREN'T HOME AND I'VE HAD A FEW JIGGERS OF GIN. I GO OUTSIDE AND DANCE IN THE BUFF AND JIGGLE AND GIGGLE AND GRIN. I don't live any where near Dallas. I swear! "Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther said police want to catch him before it escalates into something worse." They are most likely worried it will escalate into a neighborhood shindig. "Hey honey! John just called and wants to know if we would like to join him and Susan for a naked dance in Phil and Lauras backyard? I think the Jeffersons and Smiths are going to be there! Wanna go?"

POPSHow Absurd Is That? "Dr. Proulx and Dr. Heine described having 20 college students read an absurd short story based on “The Country Doctor,” by Franz Kafka. The doctor of the title has to make a house call on a boy with a terrible toothache. He makes the journey and finds that the boy has no teeth at all. The horses who have pulled his carriage begin to act up; the boy’s family becomes annoyed; then the doctor discovers the boy has teeth after all. And so on. The story is urgent, vivid and nonsensical. After the story, the students studied a series of 45 strings of 6 to 9 letters, like “X, M, X, R, T, V.” They later took a test on the letter strings, choosing those they thought they had seen before from a list of 60 such strings. In fact the letters were related, in a very subtle way, with some more likely to appear before or after others. he new research supports what many experimental artists have always insisted: at least some of the time, disorientation begets creative thinking."
