One night, when I was sitting outside on

One night, when I was sitting outside on my porch chugging down another Iron City, the sky curtains drew back. A hand came down from the sky & pointed to the east. So I got up &

write. C-ya!" I followed the hand in the sky for what seemed to be forever. Finally it stopped & pointed down, right over Memphis. By now, I was pretty drunk, but I knew I was

getting somewhere when the hand pointed to the biggest pyramid at Giza. I clambered on a hired camel & hiccuping, deposited myself at the pyramid's base. I started to climb the

sweet staircase to a humongous buzz that was part Zima and killer dank weed. This was going to be the trippiest night at the pyramids of Giza ever. But this camel, it wouldn't

go to bed and it was almost midnight. I had to get to the oasis or Pisbe would think I abandoned her again.Finally in desperation I just clobbered my camel to sleep. Covered in blo

-ssoms, Pisbe was waiting for me, even though it took longer to get to the oasis without my camel. Traces of romance were in our heads. The details were a little sketchy. Her love

Of black bean soup was so great she made the camel bring some for us. It was not a local dish so chef Aziz had to google the recipe and substitute scarab beetles for one ingredient

, plus a little squirt of squid ink, which - let's face it - made it a salty scarab soup, not black bean. Chef Aziz thought it was best to not put that on the menu, so when the

Emperor sat to dine they could serve him sonething truly unique, the perfect meal. Nothing more was needed, no changes could ever be made.
