No right to be here

"You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back." -- from Tony Hendra's "Deteriorata," written 35 years ago for the National Lampoon's Radio Hour. This very thought occured as I was sitting on my bike at a stoplight this morning on Olympic Blvd. I considered the merits and decided otherwise, but I used to swear by flip cynicism when I was younger.

Did you have the urge to cross the double yellow line, too?

Well, this is not a problem since you got a blog with comments. The universe laughs right in your face.

Hendra's daughter has a book out claiming he sexually abused her. Looks like the universe got the last laugh.
