    Hey! Hey! Hey!
    That's a great way
    to start my day!!

    Wonderful mix of wit and wisdom. I wonder, though, if I would be attacked if I made that "White Guilt" gauge into pin-on button?

    Thanks, OUC, for a bright spot on this overcast morning.

    Me dino tried to think up a joke about Crooked Joe Buyme needing to visit New Guinea that did not pan out.
    I also tried to recall something I saw on TV about New Guinea Headhunters when I was a little kid and out of the recesses of my prehistoric memory emerged a name I had not thought of in many, many decades.
    That name is Lowell Thomas, an explorer/journalist who made some TV shows about his travels. Mention was made of New Guinea headhunters but not of cannibals.
    See that comic book in the link? I bought that after seeing that New Guinea episode. Forgot all about it.
    And there's more! Back then Dell used to make comics about movies like The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad and TV shows like Have Gun Will Travel and I bought them.
    Every time Paladin shot a bad guy the dirty dude would say "Help!" and I thought that was funny.
    Guess what? I had forgotten all about that. Now it's all coming back in a flood!

      Can you imagine that comic book on a stand today? I have similar in my library of books published early in the 20th century.

        Quite certain I found it on a whirl around contraption either in a drug store with a soda jerk behind a counter or in a gas station also equipped to be a convenience food store before such places picked up that name.
        That was a long time ago now seeming like a galaxy far, far away.

          Oh yeah, I remember those whirl around thingys. There was one in my main comic haunt, which was an independent neighborhood drug store before the big chains started taking over everything. Yes, far far away.

    We know we must live in a sad country when the memes are not funny but actually report the truth.

      Memes carry with them, metaphoric pictures which awaken the woke, the sheeple and those that stand on the precipice of gaining the Mind.

      Essentially what Julian Jaynes understood to be the means to the 5000 year leap which could not have resulted in Conscious Introspection and the pathway to your conscience and your mind without 'The finale': the strengthening of our magnetic shields and shielding us from strong cosmic radiation allowing the bicameral brain to connect which brought fourth awareness of self and the voice of self, no longer to be haunted by the voice of others.
      The latter proved by Australian Actuaries and occurred approx. 2500/3000 years ago.

      We are now in a time of magnetic weakening, extraordinary high cosmic radiation and in danger of loosing that connection to our minds, or rather, those that have as yet to fully make that connection.
      We call this result: "The End Days of Noah".
