Beatnik Detectives Fight Slimey Sid
I'm feeling guilty. Here you go dropping by the Pigsty looking for a few laughs with the Old Pig, and what do you get? Angst! Existential dread! I think I'll start writing tough detective novels instead.
What if the Baby Beatniks find a body sitting propped up at a little table in a beatnik coffee bar? When they ask to use his sugar, he falls over and there's a
knife in his back! Then the police try to pin it on the Baby Beatniks and they've got to prove it was really Slimey Sid the undercover narc who's been shaking down the whole street. He's on the take but no one can figure how how he gets the dough. Then it turns out one of the Baby Beatniks is a pig!
And all the time there's way out jazz on the soundtrack and sultry beatnik blondes in berets who look like Veronica Lake are doublecrossing Curly and Chico and Goofy and the rest of the Baby Beatniks.
I need time to think! The cops are closing in! Hey Maw! Top of the world!
While I'm writing, I think I'll post some nice peaceful Patrushka pictures...
This first one is called NICE PEACEFUL MERRY-GO-ROUND HORSE...
This second one is called NICE PEACEFUL MERRY-GO-ROUND HORSE FREAKS OUT...
Here's one called TOTALLY FREAKED!
You'll like this one. It's called NICE SECURE WALL WITH BIG HOLE IN IT AND DANGEROUS OCEAN BEYOND
And finally: SLIMEY SID'S HIDEOUT

Nyuck, Nyuck. Slimey Sid and the beats is a good beginning. Maybe some stereotypical finger snapping to make the uninitiated feel a little more at ease. Throw in some Gitane cigarette smoke. My first thought was Brautigan's "Dreaming of Babylon"
The pics are a nice interlude. Does Patrushka shoot a lot? Did she ever do it for a living? What ever happened to doing a photo blog too?
Questions, questions,questions, on the mind of the concerned middle-aged.
By the way, when you have a moment, stop by westernblues.blogspot.com and visit. It's the "other" blog I started about a year ago. Nitsa used to contribute there too until we scared her away. Too much banter and clashing political rhetoric I guess.
K. I just watched a movie exactly like the book you are trying to write, so maybe you better re-think it a little. "Bucket of Blood", blonde beatniks, coffee houses, meandering poets...it's all there, baby.
Man! I've been ripped off! Where's my lawyer! Even the part about the beatnik pig?
OK, so there's no pig, but there is a beatnik cat that gets murdered and turned into a sculpture!!
