HUMILIATION
Some words are best not spoken
Some things are best not said
But since this is your public execution
I think I'm just gonna go right on ahead
--Mouse
"I just don't think all those people walkin' around
all rared back and writin' and raisin' up hell about
this, that, and the other, to me, they just don't mean
nothin'. I just don't pay no attention to them because
I know they're gonna go away. Don't mean nothin'.
They'll lose their job or they'll get sick, of they'll
have a stroke, or just any damn thing happen, or
they'll get to doin' somethin' else. They can't stay
on you for ever."--Benny Binion
King James said to the fly, Have I three kingdoms, and
thou must needs fly into my
eye?--John Selden
Everything everywhere is faster and lighter and
smoother and brighter and better than it’s ever been
before;
Everything everywhere is longer and leaner and
stronger and meaner and bigger than it ever was way
back when;
When it was small and kind and weak and fat and short
and worse and dull and rough and dark and slow;
Like back in the old days; Jesus Christ, say what you
will,
At least we got cable now….
We’re wireless
--Chandler Travis
The most exquisite folly is made of wisdom spun too
fine.—Benjamin Franklin
THE SUBURBAN MIND
I am so happy, especially now that I can live through
the accomplishments of my children.
Pondering the amusing televised antics of sports
figures and Hollywood celebrities occupies a
significant portion of my time.
I love finding an inexpensive restaurant in
Collegetown so I can have PhD-level peons wait on me
hand and foot. Who's the smartie NOW??
I feel vaguely threatened by anything that I'm not
likely to see on television.
I hate to admit it, but when repairmen come to my
home, I hide, because I'm afraid of those burly men.
Pictures o' cute l'il pups and kitties gives me a warm
'n' huggy feeling inside.
It's really not funny, you know, to make sport of the
Negroes.
Gee, work sure does stink, but at least my fellow
employees are a friendly bunch. All except for this
one jerk.
Did I tell you about the cute little poopie that my
puppy left in the rose bed?
Polluters. Tsk.
Oh! Those crazy big-city drivers!

3*HUMOR
SPURIOUS PROVERBS
The fear of death is to be dreaded as the fountain
overflows.
Love, and a cough, soon dies.
Fear is the parent of happiness.
Beware the tyranny of will power.
A poem should be more fun than a drinking spree in New
York City.
100,000 men and 100,000 dollars are never wrong.
The devil is a hero.
Free will is neither will nor free.
Hunger is better than a laugh.
The world is a playground where madmen grow dizzy.
Self control is the opiate of the bourgeoisie.
Spelling equals morality.
The man who prays the loudest is the most pious.
In their secret heart of hearts, most dentists know
that flossing is a waste of your precious precious
time.
Look to your aunt, thou sluggard.
Jesus was actually a werewolf.
Chess would be more fun if all the pawns were queens.
What the world really needs is more folk singers.
It takes a village to build a prison.
Discussing the antics of self-indulgent jet-setters
makes life worth living.
Fat people have a good deal to be jolly about.
Immigrants are mostly imbeciles.
Radioactivity is all in your mind.
Without air conditioning and taco sauce, life would be
unendurable.
Tradition is what gets in the way.
We will all have free will if only we submit ourselves
to God's word.
Rectify the fucking language.

A poem made by the beautiful Katie
now let me tell ya something
about us here juggalos
before you .. to hate us
for some reason you don't even know
we are a true family
we got each other's back
even if we dont know them
and thats a fact
you see, we all stand for the same thing
mad juggalo pride
and we have all caught
the same carnival high
we dont like to be stereotyped
like being a lo means all you do is smoke weed
just keep the respect goin
thats all we need
we mean it when we say
"i trust my life with these los and lettes"
even with the ones we barely know
or never met
we keep the scrub life alive
so do our rising clowns
we've got mad love
for anyone who's down
we're a bunch of outsiders
brought together where we belong
and if you think we're all the same
this is where you really are wrong
wiggers, twiztid serial killers, and ninjas
so many hate, yet we stand tall
laidback stoners and college-bound kids
our family has them all
its not the amount of merchandise,
the face paint, or sayin fuck feminem
icp was voted the worst band
and we still love them
its just a pride that connects us
not something to do to look cool
its love, respect, and unity
no guidlines or rules
now that you've read this
what do you haters have to say?
naw, fuck that
because, with much clown love, we'll always be this
way

11*DEVIATIONS FROM THE PREPARED TEXT: A REVIEW OF
OTHER MEDIA
HARRY POTTER
Isn't it ridiculous that so many grown adults are
obsessed with a fictional character called 'Harry
Potter'?
I mean, "Fatty Fat Fat McFatterson" or "Douchey Von
Douchebag" I could understand, but...
Harry Potter?
"Army Man Maker and Seller of Pottery Utensils"?
FUCK!
I mean, I could see if his name were something like
"Oofty Goofty O'Stuporson," or "Old Honest John
Fartpants," but...Harry Potter?
That's just infantile.
Either that, or it’s borderline pornographic.
330. CONTROVERSIES IN POPULAR CULTURE
QUINCY
Jack Klugman’s Oscar Madison reincarnated as a ranting
nitwit coroner, whose every other breath was used to
shout, "I'm going to get to the bottom of this if it's
the very last thing I do!"
Actually, Jack Klugman was cool.
It's just that this truly vile 70s show was the
template for every
gimmicky, loud, pointless, self-righteous, loud,
brassy, lousy, gratuitously spooky,
mostly brain-dead medical examiner and forensic
pathologist show ever devised
by some of the most heartless hacks to ever crank out
brainwash fodder
on behalf of
the suits upstairs
with fuck-you money
who like to violently roger self-loathing white trash
whores
with beat-me pouts
and all for the indubitable delectation of
the slack-jawed
fuck-me masses
sitting at home
stuffing their hog maws with General Cho's chicken
and coconut butter-slathered popcorn
and all-butterfat-and-carageenan cheap-ass store-brand
ice-cream
and washing it all down with generic diet "cola"
that tastes like billygoat piss in tin cans.
But Oscar was cool.
