Name:

brain spoon n. 1. A device used by 4th century Quirinalian monks to exact revenge for crimes deemed monstrously immoral. The device consisted of a large scoop with razor sharp edges, fixed to bellows and a hollow tube, through which was poured a mixture of vinegar and molten metal intended to soften the skull, thereby facilitating cranial penetration and extraction of brain sections. 2. Any device which causes extreme pain in the craniocerebral region.

And now, for The Best of Wayne Moon, you'll have to weed through this mangled Myspace site that will need to be reconstructed after their attempt to keep up: Wayne Moon on Myspace.

Where Were You, My Cast?

During my walk from train station to work this morning, I noted that some of my favorite dramatis personae had been excised from the passenger list:

Woman, 50, short, bespectacled chatterbox with pan-American accent that seems to fluctuate between Columbian? Cuban? Haitian? Jamaican? Trentonian? (but I do know that the second she enters the train, she never stops yammering…her vague accent reverberates down the street after we disembark).

Woman, mid-20’s, tall, Elven, punky smoker with Amalie-cut black hair, pale skin, little nose, long legs (I usually follow her to Dunkin Donuts, where I duck in as she continues west).

Man, 30, gaunt, lanky, stick-shouldered, multiple man-bag laden speedster with crew-cut brown hair, large ears, long legs (marveling at his warp speed walk, I once attempted to match his gait…eventually I tired and resumed impulse speed.

Woman, 50, tall, regal, African American with a calm smile and quiet speaking voice that resounds reason (often, she is the sounding board for the pan-American chatterbox).
