When you live on this planet for almost 69 years… unless you've lived under a bushel - you will have experienced a bunch of weird shit.
I use the that word because I know of no other that can work. Well, maybe bullshit. I'm on an international group - and one precious little lady - lives on a hilltop in the UK somewhere… blast! if I can remember. She has sent pictures - she is an artist and her work is breathtaking.
She is in her 90s and hasn't posted anything in almost two years. Her daughter wrote to tell us that she has lost her sight and can't type but wanted everyone to know how much she enjoyed our group.
One of the funniest and fondest memories of her …. was when someone said something or other and I called ... bullshit…. this started quite a discourse. :D
Marietta addressed a post to her long time pal, Phyllis, an American and heading into 90 herself … asking whatever did I mean … what was bullshit? She explained to Marietta that it was male bovine defecation.
HAHaaaaa... it was further explained that I was the resident Philistine.
Where was I … oh, experiencing a bunch of weird shit…. yes. I'm really tired of experiencing weird shit… I'm henceforth on a quest for nonweird shit.
I'm first googling for a definition. hmmmm
Googled Weird ---- Antonyms: normal, regular and usual
Well that's a pip... define normal, regular and usual... hah
First google produced -
There is no specific opposite to the word, What. Who or Where could be very close to being it's opposite.
I argued with one of the group members when he said there is always an opposite. You can break this down into … no there isn't. For every evil person there is a nonevil person? What goes up must come down… but what if it were an accident? Is there a nonaccident?
As I've written many times... I know nothing. I'm intrigued by the notion that some believe there are no accidents. I don't quite get this. We are all preprogrammed? Our number is or isn't up? I don't know. Why did I just miss that intersection when a few minutes after me someone ran a red light and slammed into someone or just leaving a room and a tree smashes through your house and so forth. I don't know. I just don't, for now, believe in - there are no accidents -
That would seem to mean that who or whatever is in charge of eggs and sperm destinations take some from this batch and some from that batch then determine a crowd whut gets the weak sperm and/or eggs? There are indeed genetic factors ... our DNA and RNA ... we even share stuff from Simian apes and prolly dolphins. I'd like that.
Would this be like a sourdough starter? You have to keep a bit of the inferior eggs and sperm mixture to continue the inferiorness. OR would rotation come into play as with crops.
THEN an interesting way to eliminate said weak sperm and egg would have to be determined at a specific time? nah - doesn't make sense to me. I say it's a crap shoot. Then you got all these nosey assed people trying to mess around with women's uteruses - uteri ... well? hells bells back in the knighthood days the guys got to have chastity belts for their wimmin. I wonder what pot of said sperm and eggs a HItler came from... how the hell did he get to be what he was.
Someone in charge said that batch yonder is rancid send it to Mrs. Hitler because? was he an accident? his Mother? was Dubya an accident? how about Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through the Tulips Tiny Tim - not Dickens' Tim. I'm almost certain Santorum and most Republicans came from a reeeeallly interesting bucket of sperm. Isn't that interesting.... Anyone remember the movie The Bad Seed with Patty McCormack? oooooo
If anyone believes this and wants to enlighten me... I'm all eyes.
Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated? ~ David M. Bader
Kills me when people get all het up with philosophy --- same thing with all the Bible quoting business… It is so very easy to say lots of stuff. It is so very hard to implement said stuff. It is also breathtaking that many folk pay lots of money to be schooled to teach or write to the rest of us how the cow eats the cabbage. Or... some even have a natural ability to just 'know' stuff.
Wasn't it Perry who said God said he needed to be President? or was it Bachmann or both... talk about some weird shit... and now we have Newt and Mitt... HAHAHaaaa... they ought to go on the road together - bringing Vaudeville back doublehandledly ...
I'll let this blog know when I come up with some nonweird shit stuff. I'll take pictures.

Morning Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteFor every accident a nonaccident... I won't defend that but just about the same time Hitler was born... Dwight D. Eisenhower and Rose Kennedy were born.... Just a thought!
'morning, Richard ;)
ReplyDeleteReally? interesting, how or why we are who we are... the families we landed in... cosmic joke?
haaaa
Well this post is sending my tired mind for a loop, ha ha ha. You're a deep thinker or philosopher Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteGeez, I could have been a calf... but I'm glad that I'm who I am. I just don't think that I would have been a happy being a calf though. Too much shit... I'm glad that I'm here through the selection process and not through chaos.
Are you having a bad day today or are you just being creative. I got a chuckle from today's post. JB
Very funny! Now that robot--was that from Lost in Space? About weird, a common bumper sticker here in Portland, Oregon, is "Keep Portland weird." So far, so good.
ReplyDeleteHahaaa… a calf? well, Julia.. if you had you to take care of you as a calf… might be okay.
ReplyDeleteY'all have cow patty throwing contests? lol… I never witnessed one but heard they're pretty competitive! Same thing as the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas… snakes and shit … just not my thang….
Selection process not chaos? well, now… that's food f'thought.
Naw… just taking my little g'baby back to her Mother was on m'mind and just the regular thises and thats of what is my life… I'm glad you chuckled… you need a chuckle recess from all that you do!
Yes, Galen… danger danger Will Robinson --- lol. I really liked Portland. I would love to go back. I was there for four months and had intended to go back to live. If certain thises and thats had happened, I'd probably still be there… or not. I was there when Mt. St. Helens blew her top!
Another of my favorite cities… Austin, Texas has the same bumper sticker and t-shirts and whatever else they can print it on… Keep Austin Weird is a mantra there. Perhaps there's a correlation here. See? Little Rock doesn't have that slogan. Lovely here but not much intended weirdness… ;)
Maybe that's why I'm so restless… weirdness is not overrated...
