Saffron robes for the Cowboy? Dali baby who's your Daddy?
Written by Dan Fallon
After Slick Brainy expertly moves his new super quiet stealth chopper just over the surf near the Cliff House and finally the crew actually lands and releases a fine King Salmon estimated at 68 pounds, the crew including Quill, Jive Boy, Jason Aki head for the infamous Castro district. Quill has made a pit stop at his new mansion in Sea Cliff and fired up his bad to the bone Red Ferrari F1, Marine Corps universal sniper Duke Parker is riding shotgun as the rocket ship flies through the Presidio complex and down past the Haight Ashbury hood as the 700 horse Italian pony growls like Jessica Simpson when that butt gets tooo big.... Duke's cell phone goes off and he reaches down to lower the decibels of the Ferrari's 2000 watt stereo,
" Yes sir, we are in route and have been alerted the Dali Lama and his band of Saffron robed monks will be waiting for us. Far as I know the Chief and Slick Brainy are in route as well. Thank you sir I'll relay the message."
" That was your new shiny Mayor his honor who has pulled strings so we can go into the new De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park and peruse the rare feather collection my good man!"
" Outstanding Marine, I been bribing every cat in town to get me into that safe room dude. They got feathers from at least 500 extinct raptores and sea eagles, man can't wait..."
As the hot breathing red beast glides into Castro early afternoon traffic and pulls into Ruby's Ceramic Studio parking lot a small orderly crowd gathers to respectfully drool... Duke can smell the incense wafting and vaguely hear the muffled laughter of his Holiness holding court amongst the clay shaping artists. His Holiness the Dali Lama stands and with both of his palms outstretched to signify nothing to hide grabs and hugs Fletcher Quill. Just as this greeting begins two adult Peregrine Falcons descend upon both Quill and the Dali Lama's right shoulders...( See Falcon's at www.pge.com/Peregrinenestcam/_
" Ahhh, Mr. Fletcher Quill sir, your hair has turned white since I last saw you at Allan Watts wonderful houseboat in Sausalito so many years ago! Now like those who are enlightened ones you arrive with much fanfare on the wings of Falcon's, I'm truly humbled."
" My sublime pleasure to meet with you twice in my mundane life your Holiness. Today I have come with an extraordinary plan that has been carefully investigated and approved by a host of ancient spirits I have been in constant communication with. Before Tommy, Terry and Shelly explain this simple but divine idea that will restore you sir to your thrown and quickly bring peace and much needed bounty to your sacred Kingdom. With me at this moment are the ghosts of the grand astrologer John Dee who communicated with Michael The Arch Angel, The King of the Irish Fairies's, her grand highness Queen of all immortal Fairies's wife of Oberon, once a Kelpie and a Brownie, Queen Prosperina enchanter who casts many Fairy struck and rules all mushroom circles. We also have among us those spirits who wrote and lived by ancient texts used to draw this plan, books like ; John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica, and the highly sought after 1624 Study, Crytomenytices et Cryptographiae By Duke Of Brunswick-Luneburg.
The spirit of Isaac Newton and his ground breaking work, Principia Mathematica and the German abbot Johannes Trithemius distinguished treatise Stenganographia were all consulted and closely followed in this plan's preparation. It can be said without this otherworldly science, this plan would never exist your holiness. Shelly would you please begin."
" Thank you Fletcher, greetings your Highness, welcome to Ruby's Mud Studio, the organic center of San Francisco. My associates Tommy and Terry and I have been in consultation with the noted spirits Fletcher spoke of. We all agreed Tibet and it's endless winds and high attitude called for a simple organic plan that will allow the natural Tibetan spirit forces to rule once again in peace. The rulers of the underground our Faerie brothers and sisters have created a unique material that is more weightless then any butterfly wing and stronger then cold steel. We here with their help have constructed kites that are exquisite and truly beautiful to fly. Tommy maybe you better take it from here."
" Thanks Shelly, this material stronger then spider webs and as weightless as hummingbird wings makes incredible kites your Highness. Tibet can become the permanent sight of an international kite flying Olympics. Tibet will never loose the event because no other country will ever be able to duplicate this amazing material. Oh yeah your Highness please accept a free admission to my BEST Of CITY Haunted Haight Tour before you leave town sir, Terry its your turn."
The two wild Falcon's watch carefully as Terry Kennedy local radical gay activist and tireless world peace advocate stands and begins his soliloquy...
" Your Highness, this idea may be perfect because of it's peaceful nature to all concerned, our friends in the mother country will be filled with joy knowing a peaceful reunification is possible without any more bloodshed or force. The money's made each year from the Kite Olympics will easily help rebuild and maintain your old way of life. Everyone wins in this formula and only you your Highness will have the answer to how the special material is made. The international press will quickly inform the world and the first meeting can be as early as next year."
" I'm absolutely stunned and surprised by this blessing from the left Coast. Yes, my people can begin preparing for Tibet's first annual International Kite Olympics with great joy as this is truly the peaceful solution I have prayed for. Now Fletcher I think I must hang with you and your boys for a month or two and absorb the otherworldly vibage that so often cloaks Raven's Haven."
" That sounds perfect to me your Highness, except although Jive Boy and Jason Aki possess splendid social interaction skills. My boy the Dukemeister has been working a whole other side of the human street if you get my drift sir?"
" No sweat on my behalf, so tell me your Dukeness can you really hit a flies ass at 1500 yards in a light wind standing up?"
"Well, suppose I can take the ear lobe off any desperado on out to about one mile your Highness. Lets adjourn to Quills new Ferrari and head for that De Young Museum so the boss can rummage through all those ancient feathers.."
Before the crew now hanging with his Holiness can fire up the new red beast, Tommy, Terry and Shelly all hug and bow to his Holiness as Shelly hands him one of her award winning ceramic fountains. The two wild Peregrine Falcon's take flight back to their home on the edge of the PGE building in downtown San Francisco. The Dali Lama now riding shotgun while Duke crams into the tiny space behind the driver seat, before Quill can insert his new Velvet Revolver CD, his Holiness whips out Eric Clapton's new Cream reunion CD and the boy's and man/god are off to the cool new museum toots sweet baby..... A cell call comes in on Quill's security phone,
" Mr. Secretary of our Inferior Interior, son I love the Dali Lama and your plan is well thought out. Now lean over and with a smile on your mug ask his Holiness if we can drill one or two exploratory holes on his mountains for your President?"
" Sorry sir another call and it must be La Sharon, you know I gotta go!"
" Sweet cakes, are we missing our Quill and Timba dear?"
" One question fly boy, in detail what is your first chapter title for " Care & Feeding of Your Blond"
" That's easy, Evaluating and nurturing your blonds full potential. I mean many super uber blonds never reach their full blond potential because they aren't made aware of their options or they simply don't care. My book will change all this hit and miss bad blond nurturing. Oh yeah Pumpkin the Dali Lama and Duke Parker my old Marine buddy will be coming home with me. I gave Jive Boy and Jason Aki time to spend back home, my posse and I will be castle bound in a few days."
