Topsy Turvy world

 Used to be when hair raising tales made the news headlines.  These days it is about Hair Cutting tales.  Especially when they involved the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Nancy.

This lady has her home in California.  And she grew sick of her hair.  So she went and got it cut or styled or whatever it is they do to women's hair so she can look 'Speaker-ish' on primetime TV.

The barber or Salon or whatever outfit that did said styling apparently video taped the incident and put it online.  Boom.. we got ourselves a day time soap opera.  See the state Guv said no indoor hairy business allowed because we got covid spreading indoors.

But Madam Speaker went ahead anyway?  She then defended and barber sued and then on and on and ...you get the idea.. bunch of morons all.

The Covid has also done more to expose the human condition that when faced with a real natural calamity of gigantic portions keep doing what is preached - fake it till you make it.  Except here the faking is causing utter chaos in an already chaotic world.

Johns Hopkins, an apparent authority on tracking covid positivity rates said - The problem with basing positivity rates on tests rather than people is that some individuals are tested more than once, and duplicative results from successive tests can skew the result.

Bottom line there is constant news stories of how every country and region on this planet is addressing the situation on the ground their own way and solving for it or attempting to.

No one really knows any answers.  But they keep guessing and the media which is certifiably the most air headed clown here keeps publishing unproven narratives left and right.

People that wore all kinds of masks come Halloween are suddenly the ones rebelling about the idea of wearing them in September. 

Fools that had no problem wasting toilet paper or TP as they like to call it by plastering people's home and trees, sometimes also on Halloween are now killing each other in grocery aisles to hoard it.

If this is not the bizarro world then what is?

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...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

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...
