IN CITY PAPERS CULTURE AND THE COMICS ARE UNWITTINGLY COMBINED

Unconventionally Contrasting The Witty With The Merely Ridiculous
November 18, 2003                                                                  © 2003: JAN COX

 





Men find occurrences of expanded consciousness inexplicable,
due to their describing them in terms of a supernatural experience,
whereas man can have no experience that is beyond a material one.
 
 
 
 

Make no mistake: in the ordinary world: the Philistines --  not the Artists  --
are supposed to be in charge.....................................(rest assured: it’s best that way).
 
 
 
 

The man who understands what is truly important in life and what is not,
understands that what is important to ordinary people is important.........to life.
 
 
 
 

“Describe to me, old man,” said the boy:
“Life’s most captious form of imprisonment.”
     “Word-forged shackles.”
 
 


Definition.
Civilization: Herds with hairdos, handkerchiefs, and hooficures.


 





One man took everything he had ever thought  --
and over the weekend, re-wrote it  --
then on Monday  --  threw it all away.
 
 


In the wondrous world of cats, god and security guards:
Victory claimed is victory achieved.


 
 


As he sauntered along, a man suddenly sang this song:
                                                   “I’m so happy I could spit,
                                                    so excited I could pee;
                                                    and the feeling seems to have,
                                                    nothing to do with me.”
         (He then began to wildly laugh aloud  --  as though he’d just told a big joke.)
 
 
 
 

A father (in the effort to keep his son’s thinking ability stretched and pliable) said to him:
“Even if the collective’s psychological model of man were valid,
the more perceptive man still wouldn’t allow himself to have a sub-conscious mind.”
 
 
 
 

At the intellect’s routine level: even facts are boring,
(which is why both scientists and priests tend to be Philistines).
 
 
 
 

One man says that the way local reality works is that if you call for the Bomb Squad  --  they send over a team to clean your septic tank.





One man’s best thoughts gave themselves the nick name: Pure Protein.
 
 
 
 

(Now for the sulking pleasure of both Philistines And Artists):
This Sort Of Stuff Defined Again: Entertainment for the unclassifiable.

Definitions can explain all words save one: man.





A farmer and his mule, having a beer at a local bistro,
offer their tag team description of: “city art:”
                                        legalized plagiarism;
                                        permissible cannibalism;
                                        acceptable incest,
                                        and reflections of man in a fractured mirror.
(The mayor’s brother in law had a further comment in this area:
“Art and being-employed have something solidly in common:
neither one of them means shit!”)
 
 
 
 

And a vet at the Zoo says: “If there is no such animal as an: independent herd  --
then what’s the use in even looking for meaning in the city?!”
 
 
 
 

Test Yourself.
The way to be absolutely certain that you are either:
dumb, stupid, ignorant, distracted, too earnest, too squinty-eyed, or far too citified is if: You still think that all important information must be serious.
 
 
 
 

As her son grew daily more engrossed in arm wrestling with local conditions,
a mother finally sat him down and said:
“By now you’ve no doubt heard the term: pussy whipped, and probably puzzled over the need to verbally express something so physically embedded in man’s nature,
but for our kind what it metaphorically represents is the fact that mentally,
the city intends to whip us all,” (and in his mind suddenly flashed a picture
of their family heraldry upon which shines the motto:
“Not ME You Don’t!”)
 
 
 
 

Just as it’s not possible for a real man to be too physically horny,
neither can the other kind of real man be too mentally aroused.
(About such a man’s loose habits ‘tis gossiped: “He’ll think about anything!”)
 

In the necessary urbanization of art:
in the city, selling-out = surviving.
 

The difference between those-who-know and professional associates
is that those-who-know don’t quote one another.
 

Important City Definition.
Fame: Potty training for adults.
 

A man-who-knows does not the city critique  --  not to those in the city.
(Aka: real Artists don’t waste time talking about Philistines with Philistines.)





Life can try to hide from the universe;
the universe can try to hide from life;
the universe can even try to hide from itself,
but that is something life can’t do...................
(although it gives it a good shot via man’s consciousness,
[the ultimate word however, regarding such matters is:
Consciousness has no secrets  --  it can’t  --  it’s not physically possible  --
it just seems so to the ordinary: (the factual basis for all conspiracy theories.)])
 
 
 
 

Birds are cats expressing how it would feel to be a cat  --  and aware of it.
(Some places this is referred to as:
Those who can’t  -- meow; those who can  --  fly.)
 
 
 

A mind that finds how to think without constant self-reference
has begun loosening screws in the jail cell door.
