You must be pretty important if their motivations for keeping you are purely political.

Motives.

Good name for a Punk Rock Band. I didn’t check to see if it was taken.

House Arrest

Yes

Ah okay. We get it. I get. The Brahman. The watchmacallit. The deep down whatever there is, is poking his head in again to remind us about the true nature of reality which is of course exactly what we want, although unsure why and of course pretending that there is a slight chance it's not really real. Of course you're not insane, the world is insane, it's one or the other by definition.

Well it's pretty clear none of you are brave enough to share your opinions, on the only topic that's relevant but really shouldn't be. And yes, that's politics or policy.

The ramifications of a lockdown are such that it caused a drunken, random thread to become almost predictable. And that is the very least damaging side effect.

Consciousness is narrative, Mac.

Well you're up late last card.

My opinion is that dogs are more pleasant company than people. My opinions on policy and politics follow in such a direct manner from that opinion that there is no need to state them.

I'm brave enough and sure others are - start a thread. Not sure we want to infect this one.

For this thread. I take <--- for a walk in the park in the mornings. When we leave, in close succession at the exit, I have to cross a path with joggers and walkers, then another similar path and then a park road with joggers, walkers, cyclists and the odd vehicle. Finally i have to get through a small gate. Doing this while avoiding getting close to anyone, I've started loudly humming the frogger theme tune and I'm damn well continuing until someone laughs.

Wimbledon Park?

Yes, sorry. You're right.

Live in Westminster these days. It's Kensington Gardens

A few of us ranted and raved up thread on Coronavirus with a spattering of responses. The hoopla will continue and it’s a foregone conclusion that idiocy wins out. No need to waste anymore energy on the subject, aside from sardonic observations.

Correct quantity and quality of alcohol to consume is much more important.

But All are welcome to go ahead and spew and rave and scream and pontificate and judge and wrangle until the cows come home.

Whatever tatters remain of freedom of expression, it is allowed in SMP.

If it is a dog you walk in that park, have it piss on that Henry Moore sculpture for me will you, old chum. Thanks.

The dog has adapted and now physically distances without being instructed when the essential workers get home.

I'll do my best.

Turning into quite the pilgrimage. Piss on the Moore, sing a bit of Isis by Dylan as I pass the Isis monument and then Frogger on the way out. Got to be the basis for a new religion.

Sometimes you just have to laugh

Damn it i would sue on behalf of Frank for that ending if it were possible. You cant possibly have such a hit play that way. When the world is hurting you, the answer is not to become evil because then evil has won one more hand. That movie was tough to watch.

It's one thing to turn evil. It's another thing to enjoy it. So join those that hurt you alright but leave Frank aside.



If redemption against all odds is possible... it doesn't start that way.

So the Fed is toying with the idea of negative interest rates. The Fed is mandated to provide credit as needed for the economy. I think I've got the solution to all our problems. The Fed should provide credit to all Americans by giving each of them a no limit, negative interest, interest only minimum payment credit card. I'll take two.

I have a tracker mortgage and I am wondering if it's possible for them to end up paying me.

No more need for federal mortgage insurance. All mortgages automatically become undefaultable. Don't have the down payment? Just put it on your brand new FED credit card.

Beer. Did someone say beer? Thought you regs. on SMP might like this song. Extra points to anyone who can name the artist of the piece hanging over my right shoulder. And, yes, that is my ugly mug with the bag for a hat. My apologies.



Lyrics:

I Beered This Song


I may be awkward like a duckbilled platypus
But I can kill the worst of us
Just by swimming in the stream
And selling back their evil deeds

So, for my friends I’ll beer this song
There may be two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song
So, they might listen right along

For all my friends who are not here
I want to simply make this clear
Before I ride the rails, dear
I simply want to make this clear

I did the right thing on the steps
I did the right thing for the judge
I did the right thing in the stream
I crushed their sick and evil dreams

So, for all my friends not here
I think I’ll sit and drink one beer
Maybe two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song

When they rage with hate and greed
Or build their bombs and kill our seed
Preach intolerance to need
You can stop it in the stream

There, you’ll gather all their greed
Their hate and jealousy and mean
It floats beside loving dreams
And you can stop it in the stream

Take it all inside your soul
Take it all inside your heart
Take it all inside your mind
Then, sell it back to hate’n kind

Sell it back to hate’n kind
Sell it back to hate’n kind
Make them own their death and misery
That **** ain't for you and me

Sell it back to hate’n kind
Sell it back to hate’n kind
Make them own their death and misery
That **** ain't for you and me

Now, I may be awkward like a duckbilled platypus
But I can kill the worst of us
Just by swimming in the stream
And selling back their evil deeds

So, for all my friends not here
I think I’ll sit and drink one beer
Maybe two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song

All my friends who are not here
I think I’ll sit and drink one beer
Maybe two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song

When they rage with hate and greed
Or build their bombs and kill our seed
Preach intolerance to need
You can stop it in the stream

There, you’ll gather all their greed
Their hate and jealousy and mean
It floats beside loving dreams
It floats beside loving dreams

Take it all inside your soul
Take it all inside your heart
Take it all inside your mind
Then, sell it back to hate’n kind

Sell it back to hate’n kind
Sell it back to hate’n kind
Make them own their death and misery
That **** ain't for you and me

I may be awkward like a duckbilled platypus
But I can kill the worst of us
Just by swimming in the stream
And selling back their evil deeds

So, for all my friends not here
I think I’ll sit and drink one beer
Maybe two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song

For my friends I’ll beer this song
There may be two, they may be warm
But, for my friends I’ll beer this song
So, they might listen right along

Here I am I’m beering this song
Just for my friends to follow long
Can’t you here that beer long gone
Come on and listen, you won’t be wrong
