After Hours (Blogophilia 26.13)

 "The baby finally down?"

"Yeah, What'cha looking at?"

"Some weird video." 

"Most of YouTube is weird. How weird are we talking about?" 

"A condition called Cotard's Syndrome."

"Cotard's what?"

"Syndrome. As far as I can tell. This guy, Cotard, woke up one day and thought he had died, even though he was quite alive."

"Say what?"

"I thought the same thing. Maybe he wasn't happy with who he was?"

"I was told you have to be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." 

"I think he wanted attention, like an actress who poses with dinosaurs for a movie."

"Or the fact your fly is open?"

"Oops." 

"That's OK. The kids are asleep and I like the view."

"Rrrarwww!"

    Ha... There was a story of a man who thought he was a corpse. The Doc says, "Do corpses bleed?" " No, of course not. " "Can I prick your finger?" " Damn, I guess corpses do bleed. " -Dave Schrader

      It depends on how long you've been dead. ;)

      And whether the mortuary has gotten to you yet.

    Never heard of Cotard's. Have to ponder that one.

      There are a couple of videos on it. I just assume it's another delusion.

In Honor of Al Jaffee

The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics. His critics have made a double effort to silence. him. And nothing gets done.

The Date (Blogophilia 13.5)

So, here she was at Manuel’s, her usual fifteen minutes early.   A quick glance to make sure the lipstick line was still straight.   Satisfied, the compact disappeared into the leather purse.   Kari hadn’t been this nervous meeting anyone in quite a long time.   But then, it had been at least 20 years since she had been on a blind date.   What will he look like?   All Mary told her was he was a bachelor with a paying job and no kids.    Nothing about how old, or whether he was a slob or a crackhead.   Not even the guy’s name.   Only that she thought Kari would enjoy his company.     Just be at there at 5:30. Sipping on her gimlet, it seemed like she had never left.   The Musak was mostly Sinatra and the political types still hung to their tables like they were still in high school.   Tony, the manager, gave her a peck when he saw her and said she could come back to work any time.   No.   She’d had enough of slinging swill and dealing with the obnoxious, of stepping over the hoo
