This morning I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, as I habitually do on
Saturday morning. It is my one day a week cholesterol binge. Yesterday
on the morning public radio news show they had a story about Edward
Bernays creating the modern consumer demand for bacon and egg
breakfasts back in the 1920's, when he was a public relations expert
working for the meat industry.
We are soaking in a culture that is dreadful in many respects.
Anyway, the interesting thing to me was not that, but today, when I
looked at the Edward Bernays wikipedia article. I wanted to see if the
facts (or whatever you wish to call them) in the radio broadcast
matched the facts in the wikipedia article. And I found out something
very interesting. This radio broadcast yesterday was little more than a
recitation of what was in the wikipedia article.
Now, I offer two possibilities to explain this amazing congruence. One,
the journalist who wrote that radio piece is free information advocate
and put their research into the public domain in real time while
preparing the radio broadcast.
Not bloody likely.
Two, the journalist is actually too damn lazy to do their own research,
downloads whatever he grabs off google, and his editors are too
incompetent to challenge his laziness. The person on the radio was a
female so maybe that should be her editors.
Makes me feel real warm and fuzzy about the money I send to public
radio let me tell you.
Today was probably the last day until at least October that I had to
wear long sleeves to cut the chilly air walking to the bus stop this
morning. It was sixty (that is degrees farenheit for all you godless
europeans) with a fifteen mile per hour wind. We have a full moon and
clear skies and I am going to do a ritual out at the celtic monument
tonight. Is there anybody you want psychically attacked?
Just kidding I don't ever take it that far.
Finished my "Secrets of Nature: Astrology and Alchemy in Early Modern
Europe" and started in on my Penrose "Road to Reality". Those
historians are really down on jung (it is a compilation). One of them
even sourced "The Jung Cult" is how far it went. Which I do not
understand. Historians are a strange bunch. It is like they can't bear
the burden of it's only going to be a story no matter how much research
and how many independent primary corroborating sources you have got and
they take all that pent up rage and just let blast at anybody who
doesn't kowtow to their fashion of what is acceptable documentation.
Did Jung get filthy stinky rich off his psycho practice? Did he scam
weekly sex favors for years and years? Did he have a different sports
car for every day of the week?
Well I don't know the answers to any of these questions with a surety
to satisfy one of these ph. d. historians but I can assure you the
answer to these three questions is no, no, and no. I bet he didn't even
own an espresso machine.
OK one time he probably did diddle one of his patients but she probably
looked exactly like the girl he had a crush on in middle school and
really there is only so much temptation a man can withstand.
Or so I am told. I have never been subjected to any such temptation.
And even if I was her boyfriend threatened me with a pistol back when
so even now that is one temptation I probably could withstand.
That new Penrose book is a thousand pages long and so far I have gotten
through the first fifty. The force is strong in this one. Also the
gravitational force is strong. It weighs a good twenty pounds I swear.
It will definitely keep from doing anything really silly with my spare
time like going to see the new star wars movie.
Have you flossed today?

If you are a really good boy and don't ask any questions
do as you are told
not only will there be dental floss but shower time spring fresh douch
genital spray
baby powder
minty fresh mona lisa smile
lemon and honey water
lots and lots of milk
authentic insense....
chocolates, lots of chocolate candy
walt disney rainbow endings
with a dabble of sizzle
to keep you entertained
because you must be
above everything else
entertained
"world without end"
"Genital spray"?
ha ha ha ha ha ha
That's what I live for, baby.

'nozzle'
At least it isn't feet (is it?) Feet guys NEVER go for me which I think is
very unfair, considering my fabulous sloth-like toes (they are hairy).
P.S. I was all poised to not ask questions and do as I was told, but nobody
told me to do anything. This always happens to me. I almost got sexually
harassed though! That would've been *great*. I don't think it counts that
Steve wanted me to sit on his lap in the hot tub, which meant I had to perch
on annoying bumpy leg items. Nobody ever got sued for being romantically
annoying. Which they should have, because this couple standing behind me in
line kept telling to me how each of the other of them was the bestest person
in the whole world. It took three bars of willpower not to be snide, one of
those deals where you have to tell yourself to breathe and let it go man,
it's not worth it.
P.P.S. Bukvich is the *bestest person in the whole world*!!!! (They're
doing it on LJ, too, and I am freaking out man, I am losing it.)
P.P.P.S. I can only hope that somehow they are reading this and the combined
image of toe-hair and Bukky-humping alters their breakfast experience.

Yeah, it sadded to my morning headache an alleviating giggle.
