One day we will all be bagged, according to a University of Minnesota Grim Studies report. Even if one is cremated, parts still wind up in a bag or two. The BAG is our future and open atmosphere beyond the bag will be as unreachable as the stars. The MU scholars recommend we embrace the bagging of our future and make the satchel our calling. ---

Don Schlitzs original lyrics to “The Gambler” were “You’ve got to know when to bag them, know where to tag them, on their little toes where they use to run. Never count their toenails, or even their testicles, they’ll be time enough for drinking when the day is done.”" ---

Kenny Rogers almost passed on recording _The Gambler_ because he thought he had a surefire hit with another song, _My Boomerang Won’t Come Back_. At a party in Soho, however, Leonard Bernstein convinced him that Gambler’s mellatonic strictures overruled the only somewhat pleasing dissonance of Boomerang. Convinced, and somewhat confused, Kenny acceded. ---

The Bee Gees hated Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger’s recording of “Islands in the Stream” and refused to cash their royalty checks from it. They also banned Dolly & Kenny from all of their uture concerts. And Leonard Bernstein too. ---

Rat blood is useful not only for writing prison graffiti, but as an industrial solvent, floor polish and, among some very weird people, dessert topping. Or so I’ve been told. ---

Blawnox, determined to become a world mecca, in 1966 opened the Blawnox Grauman’s Chinese Restaurant, claiming to be the world’s only purveyor of rat blood custard. Inexplicably, thousands flocked to its doors. It was wildly popular until a line cook divulged that the rat blood was, in actuality, seedless raspberry sauce. A huge scandal followed, leading to the restaurant’s being torn down by a howling mob. The site is marked today by a modest obelisk inscribed with the words, “We Learned Our Lesson”, and planted round with heliotrope and asparagus. ---

Asparagus garnished with heliotrope and stewed with rat’s blood is a favorite dish of Orson Bean, who served it to all his A-list guests at his annual Academy Awards after-party in 1973. Elliot Gould and Barbra Streisand were both hospitalized for food poisoning. ---
