A Tale of Two Contests

The Dragon came to me in my dream. We had a lovely cup of tea. It was chrysanthemum. Mild. Very calming. We discussed everything from who we thought would win the Oscars, to the war in Iraq. The Dragon was sure it’ll be “Dreamgirls” come Oscar time, whereas I’m routing for “The Queen”. And as for the war ending anytime soon, neither of us was hopeful.

Suddenly, The Dragon looked me dead in the eye and said, “It has been 3 weeks already. It is time to name the twins. Get your shit together, girlfriend!” And with that she was gone. Not in a puff of smoke, but in a limo. She peeked her head out the window as the limo was pulling away and said “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” **

“What does it all mean” I woke up wondering to myself. Fuck if I know. But perhaps it is time to name them.

Loyal readers, please submit your entry for the twins’ names here.

And since we are having one contest, let’s have another. Please vote for which is uglier, the bedspread in The OffSoho Hotel, or the carpeting in the hallways and stairwells on 20th Street in SF.
