Face #1 is that Russian Cab Driver that we all know so well.  He did his time with the  Underworld in Moscow, now he's competing with the Punjabis for the only remaining Anglo-European cab on the streets in Vancouver.  They tried to blow up his car several times, but he simply replies with a one-way dialog from his semi-automatic rifle.  It's only a Day In The Life of a Rickshaw pilot. 

And then there's "Malcolm X".  Or a reasonable facsimile.  Speak of the '60's and they come alive with vengeance.  None of this "pussy-fartin'-black-pimpin'-music" lifestyle, ma' man.  This was the real thing.  Real people fighting for real causes, which have gradually been displaced by the Culture of Arrogance.

So it goes.

It will never be the same again.

Now we get into the More Meaningless Scribbles because our voices have been smothered in the smell of Krylon.

I can't remember why I shot this one.  Perhaps because it was Large.  My memory cells are dying, just like other no-so-fortunate members of the human race.

Each of these throwups is unique in its own way; they say what they say, and they will say it alone, because I'm goin' out for Chinese food with MSG for dessert.

Okay.
