The crude and less talented play the “Civilization Game” in the more obvious of fashions,
While city sophisticates try to conceal their condition in more subtle manners.
Query: How can you always identify the SUPER-ordinary?
They’re the ones who so desperately want to be thought of as otherwise.
93038- 3
Inside of one man’s head is a terribly small place to live —
…unless you’re your own-thinker — then it’s not so bad.

Tonight in lieu of our regular Movie Review segment of the show,
We bring you an Obituary feature:

Only the serious expire on schedule.

One day as he sat pondering again the question of just how his mind
Arrived at the correct decision as to whether to believe something to be true or not,

Now we turn to our Math Desk for this story:
Sufficient Fear = Human Seriousness.
Oh — and from our, “Viewer’s Inquiry Department” comes this question:
“What other kinds of seriousness ARE there but human?” And I’m pleased to be able to tell you — None! — that’s what kind.
And now let’s move smartly right along to our nightly, “Beaver Report.”
93038-10
One man could make himself sick just by thinking about it;
And to compensate for this, his brother could do so also.

— they began to pass themselves off as a city.
93038-11
At the most basic level: Backward genes seek similar company.
…(One man mused: “Yet another good reason I shouldn’t be hangin’ out with me.”)
93038-12
None but the super-dumb and exceedingly-serious
Are shocked, dismayed, or otherwise upset and surprised at
Those things men may do in the normal course of being, “ordinary men”.

Everything that man does results in something –
And the something in turn effects what man does.

On some mornings,
One man would inexplicably find strange items in his back yard;

Everyone is full of electricity.
It was truly a pleasure being here this evening and being able to report to you on such news.
And now I believe that it’s over to our Local Desk for some other important stories.

Yes, thanks Doc — (and a great job on your part);
Item: Although they can’t speak right out and say so —
Genes don’t LIKE being disappointed and “pushed around.”

In this one place,
On, “National Love & Honor Your City” day,
The city told its people:
“You have your choice to either: Feel deeply, or, Think deeply.”
And one man spoke right up and shot back: “No we don’t! — and you know it!”
Only external sources of history give the distance between
Eden and modern Madrid in the thousands of years.

Men like to wrestle;
Even non-physical types—like to wrestle;
And men really enjoy wrestling with an emotionally charged idea
That apparently can’t be pinned or subdued.
One man’s gall bladder said:
“Ain’t no spotty-toad, pencil-neck geek in the HOUSE can whop me! —

(And certain of his other thinking organs & sensitive parts had to nod their agreement,
now didn’t they.)

One man said:
“My life may be a solid mess —

Definitions March On:
Attributed Quotes: Plagiarism made legal — Theft passing for talent.
93038-25
To be truly civilized you must be capable-of and prepared-to whine;
Thus do all of man’s creation myths tell of him, soon after being created,
Offending the creating forces in such a manner that a curse was placed upon him,
Thus making his sniveling and moaning understandable and acceptable. Right!
93038-26
Trying to pull brains out of the mud is not a job anyone trains for.
Trying to allow your brains to so be pulled is not an experience anyone planned on.

One recent news item raised the possibility that: “Only the dumb answer questions.”
And along that line, might the ultimate dumb question be: “How am I feeling?” (?!)
93038-31
And now for some, “Division Of Effort & Union” News:
Those who don’t know much about what’s going on, and who don’t much care,
Are primarily responsible for looking after the general maintenance of the building;
Those who don’t really know much more — but who are pretty ticked off about not,
Tend to want to organize and lead labor in its efforts,
And become their spokesmen.
Correspondent Query: What the hell does, “Tend to” have to do with the
Opening bars of a hurricane symphony?!
93038-32
Men who continue to seek the better-scratch-to-the-ancient-old-itch

93038-35
One man so advised his children:
“Don’t pick on the imaginary beasts everyone else believes in,
Or they can come back to haunt you even on nights when you DIDN’T over eat.”

Imaginary Beasts: Mans’ beasts. — Now go to bed.
93038-36
Only your routine, city “smart people”, (who can’t really think enough to hurt anything),
Can still cling to notions of their minds being somehow separate from their ole bodies:

One man lifted up the top of his skull, and thereby erected this civic, city limits sign:
“Welcome — Come On In To A Little Place Where EVERYBODY Is ‘Somebody’.”

The “Laws Of Nature” came to man in a box of sweets.
93038-39
Any man with a pencil can be a myth-maker,
And any man with a forge can fashion a knife;
But who amongst us can stab and slash a typewriter in such a way as to
Make it, “tell the truth” ?!
Remember: REAL thinkers can “take the world apart” —
And it is REAL thinkers who, won’t bother to put it back together for you.
…(Remember that — why don’t you?)
93038-40
Geese believe that when they die, they get a really nice funeral,
And are buried REAL deep in the earth.

A man reflected:
“If I didn’t think about other people,
And if I didn’t think about my health,
I wouldn’t be doing any kind of thinking that would disturb me.”

and clapping along with itself.)
93038-46

One man thought:
“If I had a license and insurance — I might could have a car;
And if I had a car — I could have a bumper on the back;
And if I had a bumper — I could have a sticker printed to put on it,
And I could have the sticker say:
“When Minimal Thinking Is Outlawed — We’ll ALL Be Crooks-On-The-Run.”
