Euro Scam

One thing I noticed happening with regular frequency during this whole Euro Zone crisis is how many times the leaders of the socialist nations have traveled back and forth across their borders. With no results to measure.

It reminds me of the useless high end consulting crowd (stateside) that also does this same trick by traveling to and fro to their client sites each week and spin the same useless yarn again but with a new shirt and tie on. After all its perception in the eyes of the beholder. Cannot wear the same shirt or bra you see?

As these clueless talking heads bob around the continent they get a chance to get away from their own manic or depressed or both populace - the Greeks are probably cheering and will continue to enjoy the entertainment they offer to the world as it yo yos out of control.

Now what they could really do is book an oversize handicap toilet (the likes of which you see in any McDonalds in the US) where you could gather at least seven or eight people and play cards all night. Then these dolts should be locked in such a chamber so they could do their biological deeds too and not leave till they came out with a clean plan (and other clean items) to put this mess behind.

They can pick a neutral turf (one flight in - one out) like say IOWA (they have supersize toilets esp for handicaps) and lock em up. Feed them the best the US has to offer - ANGUS DOUBLE CHEESE BURGERS with extra onions so the stink they raise will also hasten the decision making.

McDonald share holders will also cheer the proceedings and be rewarded by an extra dose of dividends as they sell rights to all the international TV crews to film the scene of a closed bathroom door for hours. Reality TV at its best. Flushing will be broadcast live to an estimated audience of 1 Billion idiots on the planet. Only McD can decide who to sell advertising spots to.

Perhaps there could be Vegas bets on who needs to use the john the most (with an unbiased observer giving the count after the match is over). Now there is a Job for a John!

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
