There are frequent reminders over the loudspeakers in Londons subway (the tube) to "mind the gap" -- that is, the space between the platform and the train. Someone I knew came across somebody in a tube station intently staring over the edge of the platform. She asked him what he was doing. He responded, "I'm minding the gap!"
This is a wonderful notebook, SealPoet; the one that struck out at me the most was 'I saw the light; I think it needs a new lampshade.' It reminded me of, 'I found Jesus. He was hiding behind the sofa all the time.' Do you tend to take something to write down fleeting little ideas with you a lot of the time?
Patiodog, I loved the play scene! Do you still keep in contact with him? That kind of play would do well over here...
I've noticed that the tube drivers have become more sarcastic/comedians recently..
Haven't seen him in years. His best friend went back to Alaska to raise sled dogs. He may have gone back eventually, too.
Drom... Yeah, I actually do carry a small notebook at almost all times.
Mrs. SealPoet gave me a small digital voice recorder to augment the notebook... it's hard to write legibly in the car while driving.
So do I! I carry a small notebook and a smallish dictaphone; when I didn't, so many interesting things came at once!

I've sometimes thought of calling myself "Our Lady of Perpetual Menopause" supplying the needs of young girls, mood maidens and stuck pigs. Oh, she was called St. Menses, wasn't she?
Don't eat with your hands, son. Use your entrenching tool.

drom, do a google on them. Buncha comedians ('four or five crazee guys') who were set loose in an old radio thater recording studio and told to make an album. Which they did. Many times.
It looks great, S.P! Sometimes, there is nothing greater than a great one-liner.
It reminds me a little of the Goons, though they were more into the absurd...
The Sexual Revolution is over, man! An' we lost!
'None of them are perfect. If you think that one is perfect, there's something wrong with you.'

Bridges are like candles. They can burn from both ends.
the revolution is over, lebowski! the bums lost!
