Interesting thought from Kurt Vonnegut

[yaktamer]

Every time I see Vonnegut's name, I think of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School. "Whoever did write it doesn't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut." Cracks me up.

I agree. Just had a woman walk out in front of my car while she was looking at her phone yesterday.
We need to disconnect.

Save some time. Just look around you. It's here.

Reading about the fall of the Western Roman Empire will scare you after listening to the news of current events every day.

I read Animal Farm, Brave New World and the like. One of my favorite lines from Animal Farm is after the animals overthrow the farmer and the pigs draw up rules. All of the rules start with, "No animal shallc and end with, "except pigs." So anytime I see someone getting to sidestep the law because of position, I simply reply, " except pigs."

I have the "Beware of Doug" card. Most people who know me agree it is an understatement.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is - we're here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."
Let's all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance.

Love it and thanks for sharing.

That's the first thing that popped up in my mind too. LOL

Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park, and
A lion hunter in the jungle dark, and
A Chinese dentist, and
A British Queen,
All fit together in the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice.
Nice, nice, very nice.
Nice, nice, very nice.
So many different people all in the same device.

"poo-tee-weet" has puzzled millions and the discussion continues.

I did a book report on Sirens of Titan.

I got a B.

Rented a tent, a tent, a tent.
Rented a tent, a tent.
