Well, having grown bored with viewin’ beasties cavorting and then dining upon each other, I haven't watched PBS' “Nature” in quite awhile.
For years the show's intro had no images of humans. Then, for what has been a brief period, a male and female of our species were present in the intro albeit a sequence a la impressionistically, near abstraction, tracking.
Now not only have we humans been erroneously snatched from the mundane, by PBS’ religious fanatic corporate welfare recipients, [Wish moi could get some of that thar corporate welfare – DANG GOOD benefits] but ALL primates, if moi viewed it correctly, have been removed.
However moi ‘tis SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy that the Emperor Penguins have once again (This is what, the eight-hundredth time?) been given the chance to have their say on the Penguin Broadcasting System. I've heard soooooooooo many new, stimulating and debatable *squawk squeak squawk* pontificating penguins this eve.
In moi's next blog post , if’in a car, 747, comet or peanut butter cookie slays moi not by then, I plan to speak of David Benatar’s brilliant book “Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence” along with moi’s yammerin’ on ‘The supreme(theoretical) value of wasted time’.
Oh yes, moi hast a new card. When you’re a ‘character’ methinks 'tis a good idea to have ‘a card’. Moi’s new card has Island Green duct tape on the back, clear tape on the front which produces a carte de Tor that is amazingly strong. If anyone tries to be cute and simply tear moi’s card to bits, they’d best have hands more powerful than the mano of Tor.
Geeeee, I can’t wait to view PBS tomorrow to see if, ohhhhhhh maybe, the cheetahs’ll get to have their say. . . . .again – and again – and again – and again – and again, after all, they are sooooooo delightfully controversial.
Epilogue: Near the end of tonight's PBS penguin platform the narrator spake thus , ‘No one really knows where we're heading’ and that, of course – as most bombastic statements are, is misinformation for moi knows where DNA is heading, and here is that knowledge via a Sir Paul parody.....
Stay on groovin' (Moi hast made moi's first planetary revolution since me massive heart-attack and quintuple bypass surgeries) safari, Tor
Well, it’s been pretty big news that Olympic Champion Michael Phelps had a photo snapped while he was tokin’ on a bong.
It just amazes moi that an intelligent and informed young man could use a substance such as marijuana. Heck, for years and years and years responsible CULTural businesses have been informing the public of the ills of such behavior. Why, just a few nights ago WifeyWu and moi ‘twere viewing an ancient episode of “Dragnet” in which the well-mannered young people of the town were driven to be vandals and assailants by the use of “Mary Jane.” Not only did this episode of “Dragnet” show how horrific “Pot” use is, they went out of their way to show how risk-free the use of tobacco products, even two packs a day, are.
Now why wouldn’t Mr. Phelps just light-up a happy-go-lucky smoke and have a shot of alcohol? There’s something that won’t mess your mind, huh?
Happy Hey Zeus Time from the Strategically Dead Icon
Well, most of us have been told that the use of “Ganja” can lead to MORE powerful drugs sooooooooo I hope if young Mr. Phelps reads this blog that he’ll take the warning given in this video by Loudon Wainwright III.
And now let us all take a moment to reflex on the life of the CEO of the world’s largest and most efficient drug cartel, and marijuana user, Queen Victoria.
Ahhhhh yes, Weed.....one of the staple products of the status quo’s stash-cash-cow.
Illegal [Just to keep the price HIGH] – HUMBUG! Profitable – INDEED!
Moi just discovered that Patrick McGoohan has ceased to exist.
He made one of the, if not “THE,” finest television programs, nay – one of the finest works of literature, ever.
When moi channel (There were only 4, in Southwestern PA., then) surfed into this program, in the summer of '68 - methinks that 'twere the time, I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY by its splendiferously engrossing and thoroughly non-quotidian purity of brilliance. I really dug that show.
How many shows have had an intro of 02:57? Not many, that’s for sure.
You can watch interviews on this most amazing subject at YouTube.
As the intro points out, #2: “We want information, information, information.” The Prisoner: “You won’t get it!”
You know, there is more than one denotation for “Get it.” One means to have in one’s possession and another ‘get it’ corresponds to UNDERSTANDING.
You see, Patrick McGoohan DID give the information to them, it’s right there in “The Prisoner.” However they were, are and shall be unable to comprehend that information. They are mentally incapable of grasping the information because it is about THEM or, as moi states, they’ll never know – they’ll never find-out.
The intro's crashing of thunderbolts inspired moi to add such audio to moi’s “AMEN (hotep IV, that is).”
I’ve observered that there are two TYPES of people, those that call Master McGoohan’s character "The Prisoner" and ones that call him “#6.” Guess which kind moi ‘tis, ‘twas and ‘twill be? Well, of course, till moi ceases to exist.
Well, moi now knows it’s around the New Year ‘cause the ‘Get Outta Debt’, ‘Debt Consolidation’ television ads have reappeared, they vanish about December or November, on the airwaves – at least in these parts.
You know, if moi wanted to HELP keep folks outta debt methinks I’d run those ads before some hollowday (or other idiotic CULTural shame that plays upon semi-mental societal conditioning ) had them spend beyond their memes’ means; doesn’t it seem as if those fellow Earth dwellers, the ‘helpful financial experts’, REALLY wish to exploit debt - not help people avoid it?
Oh well, that’s DNA (For the most part) folks.
There are bits of the universe that are truly, though temporarily (Always changing), civilized but not all of those are ‘human’, heck, not even all are ‘living’. People that say "You need ‘bad’ to know what ‘good’ is" ARE evil or insipidly shallow; if there were no West Nile laden crows in the cornfield there’d still be corn and them thar flakes would be just as yummmmmmmy.
And now.....after that, here’s a video from a most appropriately dubbed group.
[If’in moi were to cover this number I’d hav-ta replace the word ‘Illusions’ with ‘Existence’]
01-30-2009Oh my, it looks as if you may no longer listen to this hauntingly beautiful song, it just passed away, BUT here are the lyrics.
"These Things Too" By Tom Rapp
There was a Persian king Who wanted to know What he could say on Every occasion That always would be so
Illusions, circles and changes Illusions, always changing Like the wind and the rain
He summoned three wise men From his eternal throne One from each border Gave them his order To write words always true
The wise men thought so hard For a night and day Found these words to say on Every occasion These things too shall pass away
