Read, remember
In Fool's Crow, James Welch is very clear but is yet to detail where anyone shits (twice there's been pissing, just outside the tent). The Sun Chief festival gathers every Pikuni clan, White-Man's-Dog fetches water from a nearby stream and drinks. Where has everyone shat during this gettogether?
Someone Kelly on memory techniques in Aeon online. You can walk around the block and remember every country in the world. Oral memory and transmission is a skill, but traditionally it is restricted. For too many cooks spoil the broth.
Bentleigh Market, lots-of-make-up lady, people don't buy things they buy memories, she says. Box of cowries and snail opercula "Lake Chad" - card game markers, some painted read (sorry, red).
Messages in The Wolf Children passed from Santal village to village, date and gathering place of annual hunt, are via knots on a string. Once read, each chief makes sure that the correct number of knots, ie date, remain. Maharajah sends out message that gets Chinese-whispered into a WWI recruiting drive, prompts riot, memory knots on string get banned.
Places I can remember after they have been demolished. Op shops in Ormond, Au Go Go records in Malvern. The cream-bun bakery in Glenferrie road. Little Brown Jug cafe. When a house is demolished, look at the flattened block, what was there before?
Writing kills memory. I sit at my bulldozer computer and obliterate what just went on then tell the story at dinner tonite. Invite Walter K. Ong, see if he can recite a facebook algorithm.

post metaphor
Though there's no such thing
slug mail sounds a bit violent
like it hits you
Uglier less likeable
but just as slow
bullet baseball bat bourbon
its mucus is stickier
trickier to wipe off
than this letter

Songs we wondered whether they were played at the Grade 2 disco and then proceeded to sing out loud
Stayin Alive
Xanadu^
Born to be Alive
The Wheels on the Bus
Eye of the Tiger (played)
Nutbush City Limits*
You're the Voice
^As heard over Bunnings PA. Tradies whistling along in the wheelbarrow aisle.
*As played at every 21st, deb, year 12 formal, wedding and any other milestone event involving dj's and black tie. Female guests instinctively, spontaneously line dance. How did they learn this, who taught them to dance this way to this song at weddings?

things I can remember from the haiku I took a walk on to the letterbox
smears of dog shit at gate
woman swinging green bag of dog shit with two shaved poodles
pigeons in nature strip dirt outside new homes
including large white pigeon
tubes of poly-filler on shiny floor of new garage
box of paperbacks in hard rubbish

Pivotal: Fraser rolls his ankle
https://youtu.be/-gzahszqZEg?t=3402
The above link goes to the video-recorded moment just before the half-time siren of the 2006 elimination final (St Kilda versus Melbourne) where Fraser Gehrig marks on the lead, pivots, takes on the man on the mark, misjudges, gets tackled and rolls his ankle, whereupon Melbourne win and Grant Thomas quits.
More about the man on the mark, Nathan Carroll:

More about the man on the mark, Nathan Carroll:
from Foxsports.com.au:
DISCARDED Melbourne defender Nathan Carroll has launched his last-ditch bid for a place on St Kilda's list for season 2009.
Carroll, dumped by the Demons after a series of alcohol-related off-field incidents, looked an angelic new face among the Saints players as they reported in for pre-season training on Monday.

Recipe for whipped cream
By the way, in the Momofuku cookbook, the first cookbook I've read with liberal sprinklings of fuck and shit, there's a recipe for whipped cream.
