This! Is Halloweeeen!

 

I'm waiting...

the dreaded finger drum

 

Come along and ride on my fantastic gourd

Ride, ride, slippity slide

 

Signs and Wishes

The human heart

Today's solutions:

Bulletproof it

Arm it

And ok....my god...

Since we can't possibly legislate the guns, let's legislate the results of the guns.  

We need to set aside money for the past, present and future communities dealing with mass killing gun violence.

A mass killing gun violence tax.

This will provide for the victims families and for the community.  We, the people will take care of the families that have lost someone to mass shootings indefinitely, they get a pension.  (This should also be the case for veterans of war--is this happening?)  The tax will provide for structural damage, demolition any expense incurred, which, of course includes physical and mental health therapy for the entire community.

The mass killing gun violence tax will come out of every paycheck, tiered and out of every purchase of firearms, including the industrial military complex--all weapons of war count.

You want us to accept this, then accept this.  It will happen again and again and again and again.

Fine, you get your goddamn guns, your goddamn weapons of war, but we need to have a plan for the carnage.

Did I hear a cicada song in October?!

I was in the house and in the middle of something when I heard the effervescent high pitched sawing…I didn’t get outside in time, all was quiet as I waited for maybe one last blast of an extended baked summer.

 In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”

How fucking stupid.

Fauna, flora and funga!

The Fungi Foundation says we need to add "funga' to our "fauna and flora" phrase.  Fine by me!

Human horror

Scarier than any October ghoul 

It’s 2023 and we have two raging wars on our globe

This planet.

We aren’t progressing

WWGHD?

Today it seems official

We are stupid

We shit where we eat

Why I’m not hopeless, I don’t know.

Maybe because I brought progeny here

Thank god I still see beauty

Even through this anger engine

If I had the power

If I had the power

If I had the power…

…I’m stupid

Last of the smart humans

A couple of swell eggs

 

October energy abounds!

Bill Hicks on UFOs

And I'll tell you something, too, that's starting to annoy me about UFOs: 

the fact that they cross galaxies or universes to visit us, and always end up in places like … 

Fyffe fucking Alabama. 

Maybe these aren't super-intelligent beings, you know what I mean? 

"Don't you wanna go to New York or LA?" 

"Nah, we just had a long trip, we're gonna kick back and whittle some." 

Oh my god, they're idiots. We're gonna enter our mothership in the tractor pull!" 

Last thing I wanna see is some flying saucer up on blocks in front of some trailer, bumper sticker on it, 

"They'll get my raygun when they pry my cold, dead, eighteen-fingered hand off it!"

Get your pocket skeletons!

 

October begins!
