Christmas Rhyme

This Christmas I blissfully kissed my miss

And drank Swiss Miss before writing my hit list

ssss.   That's the sound of my sis hissing at pissers! 

Chrismas piss

Noel and, go to hell you,  foe of the well

Santa Claus drinks fanta, Nas

mistletoe isn't thistles, Joe

Happy Holidays, doll

holy day, holy moly, I found a roly-poly

I present to you the presence of presents!

toys for boys and girls with curls

happy birthday Jesus, and sappy mirth-day, you rhesus monkey

Mass for the masses, (I'll pass, like passing gas)

Jingle bells, mingle well

silent night, violent fight (silencers and night vision goggles?)

Mary and Chris!

Holy night, wholly knight

Sleep in heavenly peace, leap in seventy geese?  

Carl sings carols with Carolynn

The reindeer are insane, dear

St. Nick is not Satanic, fireplace be damned

Mrs. Claus takes pause...  what are the laws?

Cincinnati (sin sin naughty!) has been bad this year?

naughty is not E.    Knot University is not U!

"Step on a crack, break your mother's back" -Devo (no, I hope not.   my dad was the one with the bad back). But my mom and aunt, sisters, both tripped, recently, walking outside.   Kind of biblical, actually:  "fall on your face."  Xmas well-wishing!!  Wishing well, kiss and tell...  Apparently, falling on your face actually means prostration, like the muslims do when they face Mecca 5x/d.   Our Lady of Guadalupe struck me as funny today, like we've got "our" lady, my mom and I, in the back of the house, or something.   Like a robot, or a slave, or servant,  or something.   No, my mom and I are not involved in Trafficking.

Race-ism at the Olympics (ha ha), and Bigotry at Big O Tires...

All the authoritarian leaders on a single boat?  A dictator-ship!  Ha.  (there's like 49 in the world right now, says a website).

OH my God!!   Ozomatli and Hanuman!   said the monkey monk

champion chimps, not Coke Heroin Acid Meth Pot, chump

Ludakris-mis?   Miss Chris

Phishy ghoti and shoals fleeing Sheol, and a school of fish getting schooled!

forceps and fissiparous footsteps?

Santa in red.   Paint the town red.   Bite me.   Have an old friend for dinner.   A tall drink of water.   Splashes of red about the house.  Get drunk.   Pain in the neck.    Suckas!   Bloodthirsty villains and autocrats.  Warm hearted, but cold-blooded?  V is for viviparous.

Why do I keep confusing Jack Nicholson and Robert DeNiro?  ni!  we are the knights who say NEE!

Islam's Quran has a sura called The Cow:  part of a dead cow solves a crime! (?) (God tells which cow to sacrifice to solve a murder, re-animating the victim so he can identify his killer).

Bart Simpson says, don't have a cow, man!  Hindus say cows are holy.   And of course, James Agee, who wrote "A Mother's Tale."

concealing seals and revealing delicious veal!   eels eat meals with zeal!

Ways People Die

Ways to Die

Warfare

“Diplomacy is warfare by other means” - Clausewitz

“The art of war is deception” - Sun Tzu

Peace is the absence of war;  a population “at peace” is calm and relaxed and unworried

The art of peace is compassion and loving-kindness

Forget “war-crimes”.   War itself is the crime.

Peace through strength, preventing war by preparing for war

Warfare? War is not fair.   Civil war?  War is not civil.

Raw, backwards.  Criminal law shouldn't be criminal.  

War crimes-   all of it.   Giving orders, Obedience, pulling a trigger, anything.

Combat and calm bats and wombats 

Coming out of the womb with a bat?  Bam!

Conflict- State vs. state is war, total war is populace vs. populace

Good vs. Evil is biblical, like Har Meggido

Fighting is natural.   Nuclear weapons are not.

Nukular microwaves are weird enough…

Tech is too advanced nowadays for war.

War is unthinkable.  

There is biowarfare, chemical warfare, atomic (ABC), nuclear (NBC)

Worried about war? Everything is under control, don’t worry be happy

Said the devil, said God

bullets, bombs, shells, grenades, missiles, drones, mines, flamethrowers, gas, suicides, radiation

God is a man of war.   Exodus 15:3

Jesus, the prince of peace (war against war?).   Psy war.

Pacifists vs. Bellicose.  Hawks v. Doves.  Owls and wolves?

peaceful pacifists and bellligerent bellicose

Disease

Achoo.  God bless you.   Wipe that snot somewhere else.

Ill at ease, at ease soldier

Bacteria, virus, germs, fungi

communicable, transferable, contagious, spreadable 

Nanobots that reduce everything to a grey goo

Time, old age

Trips around the sun, cellular replication, senescence

Natural death - cigarettes, skin cancer, broken hip, on the toilet, during sex, etc.

acts of god - earthquakes, fire, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, alien abduction (lol), hit by an asteroid, big wave surfing, the sun exploding, plane crash, train derailment...

murder by Death, your time has come, your number is up

Killed, injury

Car accident, collateral damage, botched robbery, drug overdose, etc.

Homicide- murder, assassination

   beaten, shot, stabbed, bound and left for dead, starved, beheaded

   Pushed down stairs, off a cliff, off a ledge, out a window

   conscripted, burned, bled, eaten

   Poisoning, electrocution

   strangulation, asphyxiation

   hanging, crucifixion, torture, crushed

   guns, crowbars, knives, swords, brass knuckles, throwing stars

   guns, germs, steel, time itself, rock, machete

Suicide

grief, hopelessness, helpless, misery, malice, hatred, giving up

Sacrifice, glory

why so much death?  I don't know and I don't care (ignorance/apathy)

Apparently, Putin thought the Russia-Ukraine war would be over in a week or something, so I can understand his perspective of gaining $26T worth of value to Russia from the conquest of Ukraine, at the cost of a few thousand soldiers or whatever.   But that logic has proved quite wrong, although $750B isn't $26T, so the world awaits to see what will happen.   Everyone wants peace!   Even and especially the soldiers, right?   This stalemate of horror is madness, and I hope Good Sense will win the day.

Sangria wine, mixes alegría (happiness) with blood (sangre) with anger (angr).   To life!  

How would you like your eggs?  I'll have my ovaries over easy!  

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!

We pray this in Jesus' name:

JC, Jim Carrey, Jay Cutler, Jack Clark, John Carpenter, John Cleese, Jackie Chan, James Cameron, Jesus Christ (JC sounds a little like 'Jesse')

Did you know Donald Trump's father's middle name was "Christ'?

Mine was William.    Hilarity and clarity and Larry T!

   rhymes with temerity and parity and rarity

affected by the defective and infected

variously vicious and voracious

roast beast on the east coast

best and most on the west coast

mortality, infinity, eternity

dying is like breathing, respiration, inspire, expire

take your last breath, maybe rattle, maybe not

join infinity, eternity, one with the universe....xx

a lifeless body, thing, object, corpse, broken machine

Hero Inne

Drug enforcement agency talking heads

One heroin trip allowed per year, at specified locations for monitoring?

Not a bad idea, right?   HAPPY BIRTHDAY, or something.

Or is it a bad idea...

Just an idea for DEATH, but not xx.

Seth and Beth experienced death, with no more breath, because of meth.

you wanted a stick of gum?  I thought you said you were sick of guns!

DEATH

The average lifespan in the US right now is 79 male and 81 female, thereabouts, with 70 and 75 the numbers for the world at large.   You live, then you die.  Death is the permanent irreversible cessation of biological functions that sustain a living organism.  We are all dying, approaching death, getting closer to the endpoint.   From cradle to grave.  Tick talk.  Death is universal, and final.  Benjamin Franklin said "Nothing can be said to be certain, but death and taxes."    Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.  Once a dead man, always a dead man.   You die, you're dead, that's it.   The End.  Buddha said, everything is impermanent.  Even diamonds aren't forever.   God is dead (Gone Over Dead).    Death is everyone's fate.   The final destination of everyone's journey.   The end of the line.  Nihility, nullibiety, and nonexistence.  Like a bubble, we all pop.  Our nada, who art in nada, nada be thy name...    The universe is cold, meaningless, and indifferent.  All the stars will wink out.  You make your own meaning, like pleasure or fighting, in word or deed.   "Little death" is the French idiom for orgasm (petit mort).   Cellular replication, and shortening telomeres, are the biological process of senescence, aging, and dying.   There isn't an afterlife of heaven, hell, or immortality - only Oblivion.  All is forgotten.  

There is good death and there is bad death.   Bad death is under the illusion and hope for eternal life or immortal bliss.   Either in fear of hell, or in hope for heaven.   There is almost no reason to believe in either.   Turritopsis adornii is an immortal jellyfish.   They say God is love, and love never dies.  But we must all surrender to the inevitable.  We are human, and we all age, grow older, in a process of implacable fading, getting frail and forgetful, failing, going blind, deteriorating, decaying, and dying, in our "golden" years.  There are worse things than death.

A good death is peaceful, the conclusion of a meaningful life, free of avoidable suffering and distress, with a sense of closure, and surrender to eternal rest.  Even better, with the respect and gratitude of many loved ones, in family and friends.   Death is not to be feared - it is only the absence of consciousness, awareness, and feeling.   There is no pleasure - or pain;  merely eaten by worms and bugs, and pushing up daisies, and decay of bones to dust.   Life goes on.

Turritopsis nutricula is the only example of immortality in Nature (I think)

Death is Hated, the ad (advert?)….aversion (to pain, say)

“Little death” is orgasm (petit mort) - French idiom

Napoleon - Death is nothing but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily

Cowards die many times, the valiant taste of death but once- Shakespeare

Good Death -  free of avoidable suffering and distress, with a sense of closure, at peace, having led a meaningful life.

There are worse things than death.  

Join the party.   Everyone dies.  A sense of commonality and community and brotherhood naturally follows.   You are not alone.   Join the club.   Everyone is mortal.   No one lives forever.

It’s a dead man’s party, who could ask for more, everybody’s coming, leave your body at the door, leave your body and soul, at the door! - Oingo Boingo, DMP

FATE

The end of the line

Final Destination of life’s railroad (ALL ABOARD) Allah bored

The dark side of the force.   Black as death.   Confusing, delusional… (you don’t “see black”)

    You don’t see anything.  No eyes.  No brain.  No consciousness.  Nonexistence.

Aging is cellular replication, shortening telomeres

Nihility, nullibiety, oblivion, and nonexistence (like a bubble)

other symbols of fugacious, impermanent, temporary, ephemerality-

   bubbles, flowers, hourglasses, candles

   skulls and memento mori

If I lived forever, I would want Earth to live forever.     Space Travel seems supremely boring.   So, spaceship Earth made as immortal as possible, with all the right conditions for continued life and civilization.  If life is merely information, then I would like to pause the earth, and catch up on all the Reading (!!!).   Live an active day, then spend centuries (?) catching up.  What are people doing and thinking about?  What AREN’T they doing?  I would have a lock pick set and go about residing for thousands of years in everyone’s home sweet home!   I would read all the libraries, and write my own Summary of All Knowledge.   I’d be my own AI.  And I’d probably be on drugs a lot.  I mean, after eating enough sushi to sink a whale.  Or enough thai and Chinese to keep me happy for millennia.  Life is so good, which makes death sad.  That’s not a problem that needs to be fixed by making life worse!  

On heroin for thousands of years?  Finishing writing a thoroughly researched oompendium of All Knowledge?  One subject at a time.   Ecology for a zillion years, to start.
