Present Conditions asked Local Reality:
“What’s the dirtiest trick you figure Life’s ever pulled on men?” —
And they both knew the answer to that one: Making man believe he’s responsible.
I do here feel obliged to point out that at the level at which such
Entities as those two converse, the term, “dirty trick” doesn’t mean at ALL What YOU think it means.

“The-Seeking-From-Others, Of-Important-Intellectual-Directions”
Is like a man with a fancy new FM Tuner who is developing a taste for static.

One of the mind’s overlooked talents is its ability to live on the top floor,
And believe it is no longer dependent on the building’s super, and elevator operators.

“We could’a been contenders.”
93041 -13
One man decided he would become either a Serious Poet, or a Spokesperson For The Gods;

Lions speak with authority when defending territory, food or family;
Men attempt to do so when they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Have you ever noticed how even those with the least of theatrical pretensions
Can so effortlessly slip into dramatic tones of whining and blunderbuss?
93041-14
Nice story, Todd, but that brings up a question in my mind:
Which is the more civilized: News items that speak of, “One man” did so-and-so, or
Ones that would refer to, “MAN” as being inclined to do so-and-so?
Why does it have a different feel if you speak of a
Specific, individual man as an example of something,
Rather than about humanity in general?
….Well, it was just a thought.
93041-15
Everyone’s dancing,

Ugly people can establish Ugliness as the standard-of-beauty.
A person interested in quicker affairs would instantly realize that
Man routinely uses the above in ways far beyond the physical.
In a land where all pigs are retarded — none need feel left out.
Those who yet cannot taste how life is always fair & just
Must still be wearing that Infant Tongue Protector.
93041-20
What sneers are to good-humor, so is ordinary dumb-knowledge to independent thinking.
Comparisons ALWAYS make for interesting bed companions.
93041-21
And as regards something mentioned on our previous news show,
In a feigned show of, “good faith,” life sent word that we should tell you

And now some news from the world of the arts:

And I also give meticulous care to plot details.”
93041 -23
When the ordinary run out of demons they round up mirrors;

“Question Time” portion of our show:
How can you spot a civilized intellectual in a crowd of happy people?

93041 -27
If you can explain yourself away — you can explain ANY thing away.
And the All-Human Choir began to sing: “But Why Would We WANT To?!”
…(That’s one of the problems with-these amateur musical aggregations —
They always expect you to provide them with “all the answers”!)
93041 -28
The man,
Who went by the self-appointed name of, “The Opposition Geezer,”
Said it was his job to see that all of the bronze statues stayed properly lubricated;
Someone in the crowd asked if he didn’t mean, “oiled,” and not “lubricated,”
And the man replied: “Someone my age knows the difference between

One man admitted:

And conversely, in private, the serious are all idiots. There!
Oh, by-the-by, Biff, (a bit of history thrown in here),
Did you know that one of the very first things frontal lobes and civilization
Came up with when they came out of the dark forest was
The concept of there BEING a “private” in the world of man.

Well Biff, now you do.
