Miles natters on about stuff. Probably music, knowing him. He leans more Faulkneresque than Hemingwaylike, so there'll be a lot of words. Unlike Faulkner, not all of them will be wonderfully deployed.

hatful of grumble
McGavock Pike, December 2nd, 2008
Since 'tis the season to be charitable, we're assuming that the e's completely sold out on the day after Thanksgiving.
I assume your post title was the rejected, original title for that Smiths album?
But seriously: are you not familiar with "Grumbly Hatful," a comical dwarf (or so we assume, since in fact all we can see of him is his hat and his shoes) in the "Crucifun!" series of Christian cartoons, who's always grumbling incomprehensibly - usually as a foil for Susie Q. Sonshine, a horrifyingly cute little girl bunny, who's always trying to cheer him up? No?
I had "Grumbly Hatful" pegged as the Grumpy of Lidsville, but maybe Sid and Marty changed their last name to "Crucifun!" (including the exclamation point), moved their HQ to Williamson County, and repurposed him.

Maybe I dreamed that...
Smiths reference completely intentional.

xcI bet PastEr Buddy Jarrell is a real hoot.
Dan - good catch on the "paster." somehow I hadn't noticed, even though that's a permanent part of the sign.
