I wish I could harness this every time someone points out the abundantly obvious dark circles beneath my eyes.

The Joy of Silent Film

Clowning, it seems to me, is where silent film is at its most playful and its most poetic. Nowadays, we talk of “standup” comedy, a phrase that indicates by its very description how frozen the body has become; entertainers are now “talking heads.” Silent films celebrated the poetry of motion. Silent film elevated the kinetic to metaphor. “I was alien to the slick tempo,” Chaplin wrote of his first trip to America in 1910. “In New York even the owner of the smallest enterprise acts with alacrity…. The soda jerk, when serving an egg malted milk, performs like a hopped up juggler.” The silent clowning—Chaplin’s especially—turned the exhausting American momentum into fun.

homeless man: (while ripping petals off of several flowers from a wilted bouquet he is carrying and stuffing them in his nostrils) these flowers smell GOOD.
me:….
homeless man: THEY SMELL SO GOOD.
me:….
homeless man: (after proceeding to rip off several more petals and put them in his mouth, chewing on petals for several moments, and finally stuffing the entire bouquet into his mouth and gnawing energetically) these flowers… these flowers. they smell good.
me: how do they taste?
homeless man: LIKE BEES. THEY TASTE LIKE BEES.
me: that sounds unpleasant.
homeless man: (while spitting petals into his lap sadly) it is.

I miss riding MUNI for things like this.

Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?

Barney Frank: No.

Interviewer: Why not?

Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?

Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.

Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
