Wasting Time or Time Wasting You or Neither or Both? Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

There’s a man in the hills with a shaved vagina
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Come to the hills for a lonely stranger
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
(to be sung to the tune of The Lonely Goatherd)

Quote of the Day

“Have you ever heard a blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub?”
(Norton Juster, 
The Phantom Tollbooth)
 
A Saying That Will Probably Never Be Said

“Life is Like a Good Porno: Real”

A Cruel and Absurd World…

An Australian man has taken his own life just a day after video footage emerged showing him confronting a group of drag queens who were reading to children at a library. The man was the president of the politically Right group, the UQ Liberal National Club, who staged the protest and were seen chanting “drag queens are not for kids” as they confronted the drag queens at the family event. Predictably, social media users piled it on, heavily criticising the man in question, who happened to be openly homosexual and against same sex marriage. Liberal MP George Christensen was greatly saddened by the social media response and its consequence, vowing to quit Twitter because of it:
“Suicide happens when Twitter keyboard warriors pile on an individual for a political protest.
“Twitter is broken. It’s for ad hominem attacks & pile-ons, not real discourse. And it’s aided & abetted by the media. I can’t delete the media but I am deleting my twitter account. Bye.”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

Go up to at least 5 strangers (simultaneously if you want) and smile and loudly proclaim/ask: “Did you see that show on TV last night?”

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?)
