Go Absurd Number 5


Opening Absurdity

Who let the cats out? They’re now reflecting on the gloom while mythologising the romance of infinity times eternity using a compliance officer’s framework to frame the unframeable. No cats were let out

Quote of the Day

“I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it.”
(David Lynch)

What The?

Near the end of 2018 a 53-year-old Greek woman was sentenced to 10 years jail for lying about her primary school record to get a cleaning job that required 6 years of schooling instead of the 5 years the woman in question actually had. Immediately there was an uproar, locally and internationally, and the woman was soon after released


An Absurd Thought or A Thought From The Absurd?

A table is not a table. A table is a table

Limerick of the Day

There was an Old Man of Whitehaven,
Who danced a quadrille with a Raven;
But they said, “It’s absurd
To encourage this bird!”
So they smashed that old man of Whitehaven

(Edward Lear)

Yet More Absurdity…

Good oil job while drinking cheese the nightman never said; only the nightwoman said with her feet in a raucous position that typed into all meanings of the word Nirvana but mostly the band. I wasn’t meant to. Melt the bicycle chair with frothy platitudes on posters

Modern Wank

Going Forward

Politicians and Corporate big wigs use this phrase ad nauseam thinking it will make them look like leaders who know what they are doing. So next time you hear this, and are in the mood, why not reply:

“No thanks, would rather go backwards…”

Remember

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
