Semi-random musings, poems, and visual images from the journey
This makes no sense to me. You would never wash these things together. The black mask is laundered in cold. The two feathers should be hand-washed. The cigarette butts are to be soaked in warm, sudsy beer for 4-6 hours and then air-dried. Toss the paper. The Tic-Tac case goes into a drawer for an unimagined small-storage purpose, never to be seen again. Viola’!!
“Does nothing make sense to you anymore? Well, you are not alone. And that’s why the good people at Scott’s have invented the bathroom Life-Sense Dispenser. Simply condense any unpleasant thoughts clogging your mind and imagine them flushed downstream with your bodily waste. Then wash your hands vigorously for 30 seconds and pass your hand beneath the light source. You will receive a luxuriously soft towelette inscribed with a guaranteed life-changing piece of advice that will put you well on the road to blissful serenity! Certain restrictions apply. Not available in all locations.”
We have an addendum! Although I don’t think it means what they/them might think that it maybe might mean….
“Always, no sometimes, think it’s me
But you know I know when it’s a dream
I think I know, I mean a ‘Yes’

— from “Strawberry Fields Forever” by, well, you know…..
The bastards did it! This is just flat-out Orwellian. Banksy, you’re next…..
Sayre’s Law: “The politics of the university are so intense because the stakes are so low.”
Attributed to Wallace Stenley Sayre (1905-1972), US political scientist and professor at Columbia University, although similar quotes predate from woodrow wilson and others (see below).
Stigler’s Law of Eponymy: “No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer.”
exemplifying his own law, Stigler attributed this idea to sociologist robert k. merton, although earlier citations exist = Epon-and-on-and-onymy!
It’s a little known fact that the initial inspiration for Stanley Kubrick’s menacing computer was a bathroom doorstop in East Baltimore. And, believe me, this toilet was SCARY!
Is it a guy thing to find favor in houses and businesses that look nautical? Or maybe it’s just a Bligh thing (rim-shot)! Wait, can we even ask anymore if something is a “guy thing”?? In any case, it seems more and more buildings these days look like ships and that ships are now shaped more and more to look like buildings. And surely that’s progress….
Great Exudations
