The girl with the collection of penis bones called me to say that she had a spare ticket for David Sedaris - did I want to go
DID I ...?!?!?!?
Mr Sedaris' early books make frequent mention of his OCD and now that he has moved to East Sussex he talks about how he spends as much time as possible picking up litter in his neighbourhood. This includes a wooded area where people go for fried chicken and sex
They leave behind masses of those styrofoam coffins with chicken carcasses in - and strewn all around are several used condoms
His friends are amazed that he picks up the condoms
Of course I do, I put leaves between my fingers first - I don't pick them up with my mouth
I came directly home but left my friend standing in the queue waiting to meet the famous author - she wanted to give him one of her penis bones

And I bet mr. Sedaris was tickled pink!
ReplyDeleteHe was indeed
DeleteCongrats! You got him to do your bathroom floor!
ReplyDeleteI think he'll do anyone's bathroom floor
DeleteI wish I still lived in East Sussex... I'd help him... and did she... give him one of her bones?

Yes - an otter bone - he wrote a thank you for it in her book
DeleteI gave him a 1980s story/picture book of London. I said he might want to give it to a kid in his life. He said, "Yes! And that kid is named "David." I wish I had thought of a penis bone, but I don't have any handy and I'm just not that cook.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to get into a broader range of cookery Kim. Mr S will adore your taste in books - I do! x
