Crows: Vol. 2 - Not In My House!
“A murder of
crows” refers to a group, a crowd, a
bunch of, crows. These linguistic
tricks of English with pluralities I
find very intriguing. Why, is a “herd”
of cows and a “pride” of lions and stuff like that? To me crows are really fascinating animals;
supposedly one of the smartest birds, even smarter than … say … dogs …
(although dogs are not birds – I do know that) Whatever. So considering their intelligence, their
personalities are very curious. Hence, I
use their iconic nature to make isolated and interesting evidences.
- Why does the American political party, that emancipated
slaves, want to reinstate that same condition?
Return to the Founding Fathers
thinking? The only citizens, according
to the U.S. Constitution, in 1776, allowed to vote were white men who owned property??!!!??
- The Maori people of New Zealand are large framed people,
as I understand. Or, very large of
stature. The largest American, by and
large (get it, ha-ha), would be the men at like 5’10” and let’s say around 190
to 210 lbs. on the average. So how did
we get so big? As big as the average
male Maori, but not due to genetics? I
sit in my local coffee shop and one after the other, they come in and these
Americans are yuge! I mean like massive! Men and
women. I drive a two-door Toyota
Yaris. I could not give a ride to these
persons. They could not get into my
vehicle!! One of the reasons I rarely
lock the doors – there is hardly an American who could get in it, in order to steal it.
- The Philly Cheese
Steak is the gourmet signature meal of the City of Brotherly Love.
First you take red beef, full of stockyard hormones, antibiotics and
fat, and then you put American cheese, a basically artificial non-food food product, full of weird ingredients,
including red and yellow food dyes – known to cause cancer – melted all over
the whole mess. It’s like a heart attack with arterial chocking cholesterol on top. Yum!
- Apparently Canada is about to euthanize, gas – get rid of
– kill – a big bunch of stray dogs.
Public health issues and safety, or something. I predict a ton of Americans will rush to
their rescue. And, for some reason we
can’t help out humans who are war
refugees – including several hundred thousand children! Worried about terrorism. Hmmm … if a human is like eight years old and
hasn’t had a full meal in about two years, weighs maybe 85 lbs. or less
(probably less) and can barely walk across a room, how is this child going to
commit any kind of an act of terrorism?
What are they going to do, throw handfuls (handsfull) of gravel at
people big enough to kill them by sitting on their chest?
- Hate; - what do you do if you get stuck somewhere in an
emergency and the only person who stops to help you is somebody from some group
you have decided you hate?
Caveat; - what if you decided not to hate anybody? Wouldn’t that be easier?
Caveat 2; - what if you forgot that you had decided to hate a
person, and they did something really nice for you, something that you really
needed help with and then later remembered, “WhoopsI, I was supposed to hate that person.” ?
- I have decided that I am going to be civil to everyone –
even Republicans! In general I am civil to everyone anyway, but
it’s going to take a lot of effort not to loose it with the … no, I’m not going
to say it. Everybody gets a smile.
- Drivers – I don’t think most drivers, here in the USA
anyway, notice it, but despite all the warnings about using cell phones while
driving, is totally ubiquitous. Now, if
it were a national requirement that everybody must ride a bicycle in their normal everyday life for – say – three
months, before being allowed to drive on the highway, I doubt there would be as
many distracted drivers – trying
their best to kill everybody else. Or,
they could substitute a European style motor scooter or even a motorcycle. Any mode of self directed type of wheeled
vehicle, where they do not have seat belts, air-bags, crush-zones and two to
three tons of steel and plastic and shatter-proof glass surrounding them. Enough close calls with idiots on their
phones, eating, music way too loud, drinking beer and turning around to talk to
another idiot in the back seat and just maybe they would focus a bit more
when they are captaining their own tank in the middle of the rest of us.
Yes, music too loud – when I’m next to some person at a stoplight
and I can feel the vibration of their crappy rap or country western noise up through my feet straddling a 600 lbs. bike
– it’s too fucking loud.
- If “disco” is dead,
why have so many contemporary movies chosen to use it as background
soundtracks?
- The 90’s were incredible and I feel sorry for those of you
who missed it. And I have sympathy for
all those who prepped for the fall of
humanity when it flipped to the year 2000.
I was a large school’s Director of Technology and we didn’t have a
single computer even hiccough, let alone crash.
What a bunch of pussies. We knew it was coming, we adjusted for it,
prepared and – blip – nothin’
happened. Now Nov. 8th this
year has me concerned, even more than Y2K.
