I like battling the skeletons theme as long as the wizard is kicking their butts. Skeletons and zombies remind me of politicians. Skeletons being what they call their "visions" and "ideas."
How about actual coin dealers--Lyman Low and Ed Frossard--having a sword fight? Allegedly they really did have a fist fight once at an auction.
Will Carlton Sheets give a Last Seminar on his amazing no money down shistem for buying distressed real estate? Gordon Brown will probably show up.
Say wouldn't 2012 satirical tokens be cool? Like the satirical Hard Times Tokens? Bizarro is already making jokes about it, showing Mayan telling an elder "I'm only had enough room to go to 2012." Elder: "Oh that'll freak people out some day."
A long time ago, when the Earth was green There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the Earth was being born And the loveliest of all was the unicorn
There was green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the unicorn
The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain" He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do Build me a floating zoo, and take some of those...
Green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born Don't you forget My unicorns
Old Noah was there to answer the call He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall He marched the animals two by two And he called out as they came through Hey Lord,
I've got green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn I just can't find no unicorns"
And Noah looked out through the driving rain Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling Oh, them silly unicorns
There was green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling And we just can't wait for no unicorns"
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried And the waters came down and sort of floated them away That's why you never see unicorns to this very day
You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born You're never gonna see no unicorns
[New Lyrics] Now you might think this is the ending to the song, But I'll have to tell you friends that in fact you're wrong You see, Unicorns are magical, so when the rain started pouring, They grew themselves some wings and they took to soaring.
You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees But if you're looking for the unicorns, don't be forlorn, The second star to the right and straight on until morning.
Cosmic Trigger is a book by Robert Anton Wilson that centers a lot on Aleister Crowley--My most favorite deviant, anti-altruist, anti-humanist, anti-religion "extremist" Individual. No matter what else they say about him, which is plenty.
Sorry for the late edits. I'm not getting good connections today. Maybe I'll send AT&T their bill back with: Error 680. Connection to remote checkbook could not be established. Please go @&^$ yourself.
Sun Tzu said "Strength become weakness, weakness becomes strength." How can this happen unless things are trying to become what they are not. And if people are the cause of events and things become what they were not, then haven't the same people that caused the events to happen become what they were not? How can cycles even exist unless things become what they were not before? Maybe people in insane asylums will be running the world soon and will be viewed by everyone else as "talented." Maybe Cosmic Trigger will become the new "norm."
When things change so quickly and at an accelerating pace you have "abolition of context." Or lack of standards or norms. That is "norms" and standards can never be established or have time to root and be accepted as a social "norm." Or they are constantly eroding like so called grading standards. How can changes occur at all unless something with standards changed. How can an AU58 become a MS63 unless "norms" changed. If "norms" keep changing they never existed in the first place. People called crazy may never have been crazy. Albert Einstein was so disinterested in public school brainwashing that today, by today's "norms" he would have been diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder and and made into a Pharm zombie. "Norms" are whatever happens to be convenient for someone to changed things around to their liking and anyone who doesn't like it must be crazy.
Insanity *so they say* is "deviation from established norms." If norms don't exist or barely exist, or don't stay established, then how do they know who is or who isn't a whack job? What happens when the people who decide who is or isn't a whack job are whack jobs themselves, as seems all too likely if they are projecting their own whacko-ness on someone else. Which, IMO, is exactly what happens in politics. People from each party are merely seeing themselves in someone else.
I just hope I don't mutate into a humanist.
Oooh, I forgot something: If there are no established, accepted norms to follow people are deviating from non-existence norms. Which in turn makes them abnormal. If non-existent norms become the norm then being abnormal becomes the norm.
Thanks. I should figured that with the CD Library in the other photo. Seriously though a dragon leering through monocle at a Knightress might be an interesting twist. And might not take much time to change?
Aspirins may not do it with this thread. Daniel might need some Jack Daniels.
