Welcome to the Cubby Missalette # 15, the Exquisite Corpse Issue! Much of the material contained herein was generated at a happening that happened at our apartment on October 11, 2003 in the Mission district of San Francisco. We played games, ate strudel, drank coffee and then played more games, ate nachos and drank beer. Some folks who could not attend sent bits from abroad. The result was this fabulous piece of detritus you are now holding in your hands.
The Surrealist painter, photographer, cartographer, geographer, and encyclopedist Mame Ozenfant put it best when she wrote:
- I pluck it from the
tree of life
to watch it wither
and die
it is my
farfetched
purple babe
hanging in a blackened
haze at the end
of the garden
in the purple yellow
lit light
OR:
- What are underpants?
A dream in which you are falling.
What is intelligence?
An adventure from which you never return.
