Guy
on a street corner says:
“Lemme
tell you sumthin’:
People
still using their old original mind will say they don’t like being told
what to do -- we know they really do -- still:
everyone says they don’t.
Now
that I’ve told you this: a question for you:
Why
will anyone sit still willingly -- even intentionally
-- just to be told the obvious?
Answer:
How else you ever gonna know about it!?
Now
what d’ya think!”
(And
another chap ponders:
“Are
episodes such as this yet another reason to avoid the city?”)
One
man (thoroughly TV-ed) thought:
“I
expect to be presented later this year as a seven part series.”
(Why not.)
After
receiving many email solicitations promising: "Increase the size of your
dick,"
one
guy kept waiting for one that concerned areas higher up the body.
(“Man!
-- my feet are killing me!”
“It could be worse.”
“No
it couldn’t -- not with me.")
An
old local sorehead (who, as a matter of recent fact has become dissatisfied
with such a generic description and wishes to be more individually identified
as:
Murry
The Meshugge Misanthrope) asserts:
“Everybody
gets what they deserve! --
except
for those who get more! --
and
they complain!”
One
man nick named his ready made brain: Bullethole.
By
the time the fire department arrives on the scene -- everybody
sees
the light.
In
anticipation of perhaps celebrating his upcoming birthday,
a
father sat a son down and said:
“I’m
going to tell you what my father said that his father told him
just
before his grandfather interrupted and denied it:
‘Sometimes
the gods talk to man --
and
sometimes they don’t --
and
no one can tell the difference,'”
(and
for months afterwards the lad puzzled whether that was the reason
Adam
made a run for it.)
“What men hear in their head
can make them feel dread.
(Goddamn sissies!)”
Might
as well accept it: Hormones never forget --
but
a man who can actually think can tell them to take a hike!
"At
least be thankful they can’t bug you in words huh?!"
Yeah, but if you don't stay on top of the case they can get other parts
of your
nervous system to do it for them.
(Damn sneaky bastards!)
In
all city recipes you can substitute either: laughter, insight or pinto
beans
when
the ingredients call for seriousness.
One
cow got so smart that the herd ignored him.
(What
really happened was that he disappeared from their sight;
same
kind of special legerdemain that the certain man can pull off
inside
his own mind.)
Note:
A neurally grown hermit is not the same as a biological one.
A
naturally tall man is one thing: he who wills himself so, something of
another order.
One
guy’s professed favorite-song
is: “Don’t Give Up On Me Baby”
--
in
response to its being sung he always sotto voce snorts: “Screw
you!”
Making
fun of others falls under a standard city job description;
there
is however another special way that what would seem publicly as ridicule
can
be privately employed with benefit unknown to the herd.
What
in ordinary men is self censure is a poor imitation of a tool quite substantial
among a few, chasing a goal that everyday people have never heard of.
(Okay,
so they have been accidentally, verbally exposed thereto,
but
one of the requirements for being ordinary is to pretend you didn’t really
pay
attention to it when you heard about it
[or
that most assuredly you didn’t understand what it meant.])
Elephants
are able to maintain their prominent position in the animal standing by
appearing (to all general observation) to be functionally unaware of fleas’
existence:
it
is only by such willpower, planning and determination that anything above
the
fern’s
ability to fart is ever achieved in life’s overall game.
Men
cannot feel they are completely what they are without declaring it in words;
so
extreme is this that a man with undeniable talent as a painter cannot be
satisfied until he says: “I am an artiste.”
Those
trying to wake-up
should take a deep, long look at this matter.
People
who don’t know anything, and thus have nothing to talk about,
talk
about other people.
How
To Do Things.
How
to keep from going bald: Never leave the house or allow anyone to visit
you.
How
to not be stupid: Don’t talk.
How
not to get taken: Don’t buy anything.
How
not to have your heart broken: Don’t have one.
How
to keep from being elderly: Don’t think about it.
How
not to remain ordinary: Don't go bald.
Just
as the supreme form of censorship is the prohibition against even mentioning
that
there is any censorship,
so
too is the ultimate variety of not being asleep & stupid in never saying
that you are.
It
is those with bulletholes where they could have a mind who take life seriously,
and
this is manifest specifically in their constant insistence that there are
serious
questions to be answered about life -- well:
everyone
knows this is not true --
there
are no questions period! about life
......(well......not unless you ask one, of course).
Only
with thought comes apprehension:
only
when whales begin to talk do they reveal a dread of volcanoes.
The
solution to everything(?): No consciousness -- no problems.
One
man’s current ponder: “Can you be cultural AND be silent?”
Said
a son to a father: “What is different about talking with you is that you
never talk about me or yourself personally, but about that, usually-never-spoken-of
third sector: the area that obviously is the only one with the potential
of waking me up.
(Curious it took me so long to realize this one feature.)”
To
their great relief, the landing crew were met on the beach by the
friendly
seeming chief and his beautiful daughters;
(they
quickly lost interest in the chief).
One
man says: “It just struck me that the basic requirements for being ordinary
are the same as for being civilized: the ability to feel uncomfortable
and to cause it in others.”
The
martial arts instructor said: “It is all in the mind,”
yet
still uses his feet and fists.
On
a business card one chap has printed:
“I
may be an annoying twit -- but I have my own show and you don’t.”
Taken
from an advertisement, one man adopted as his motto:
“After
only three months of twenty minute's effort a day…”
(He
holds in reserve for future use: “If I can do it -- anybody
can do it,”
a
sentiment he says gives his entire nervous system a competition-grade case
of
The
city's big concern (though never acknowledged directly) is:
What
is the best weapon against originality?
