I was just on your Garden of Eden post (Day 8) where I promised to visit a more recent post and upvote a comment to ensure you got your just rewards (it's only $0.01, but it's the thought that counts).
And so, I arrived at this post looking for a good comment to upvote. I came across this one. And, Lynn ... am I ever glad that I did.
Given my penchant for politics, people have often asked, "So, what would be the first thing you'd do if elected President?"
My answer has always been the same: "Assemble the Pacific Fleet and call in a MASSIVE airstrike on wherever Yoko Ono happened to be at the moment."
After having watched this video, for the first time in my life, I am revising my answer: "I will have the CIA organize a reunion for Happy Shiny People, ensuring that Yoko Ono is a guest performer ... and call in a MASSIVE airstrike."
A MASSIVE Airstrike.
For those of you inclined to say, "Quill, aren't you being a bit draconian," I advise you to actually watch the aforementioned Happy Shiny People video, and then invest a few more moments of your life, understanding you will never get them back, in the following:
It has been suggested to me, rather sarcastically, that this is what "real poets" sound like. That Yoko was dramatizing a woman in the throes of orgasmic pleasure.
I have counter-suggested that if one is ever with a woman who sounds like that in the midst of carnal delight, to call the local priest and have him conduct an exorcism.
QUILL For President
"I'm taking them out"
First things first: If I ever sounded like Yoko, when I was in the throes of passion, I'd shoot myself. Plain and simple. Agreed!
Second, Shiny Happy People is a great song, but I have to admit, that I've never watched the video :) I have an aversion to all music videos ...there! I said it publicly :) I enjoy listening to a song and letting my brain create its own video, which is normally better anyhow, so many years ago, I gave them up for Lent; well, that and guilt. Makes being a Catholic so much easier :)
Thank you, as always, for the awesome quote :)
