2018: Lunacy iN rEVIeW!

 

Tweets Not To Be

In the seldom explored category of ''tweets or memes one has thought of sharing but then, thinking it through, decided against the idea'' (and if you are or ever were one of the few, proud -really proud; as in super guilty of pride alright!- elite followers of *my twitter* you know that to think it through is all that I ever suggest that you do!) --- here are some of those tweets or memes you never saw on there...

HA! 

(OK ~ not really a meme; just a misguided ad!) 

Ugh... this looks like Videotron... 

We hate Videotron. 

NEXT! 

Dirty Minds R Us - there's a club like that, out there ~ 

there must be! 

It's either the kinky stuff - or quick cash. 

Usually one of those two are at the core 

of any such "messages"...  which makes us think 

of the latest survival trend/type of tweets 

being seen lately on Twitter: 

hashtag #TorontoStrong 

EH? 

...not that the lure of making easy money 

isn't always there; because it is! 

And they'll tweet about that too - 

in spite of other, shall we say, graver concerns 

in the greater T.O. area: 

But really now... 

Forget about getting the right answer 

when you hop on CA$H CAB in Toronto; 

go for a strike, instead - 

and duck that stray bullet zooming by! 

... it's not like it's flying ammo every single night there, 

granted - and besides, it could be a kamikaze car instead; 

and, then, you truly are actually safe in the Ca$h Cab, 

not being a pedestrian - the poor prime target pedestrian... 

#TorontoStrong 

(not Stung, "Stong" or "Srtong" - ya twits.)

(...and much less the idiot who tweeted "TorontoStronger" 

during a playoff series that Toronto lost to Boston - again. 

But let's not give it any more airtime...) 

OH, AND...

What's all the fuss about breaking the internet: 

Keep on trying, 

KARDASHIAN KLAN! 

Mac 'N' Nude Day!

Richard Benjamin famously said it: 

in the introduction to his most-forgettable film 

"Saturday The 14th" (which co-starred his better half, 

Paula Prentiss - and both stopped acting afterwards.) 

as his voice is heard, off-camera, stating this simple fact - 

"things get bad on Friday The 13th 

but they get rrreally bad on Saturday The 14th!"

(we merely paraphrase here...!)

Well, on this year of Our Lord 2018 

~in the hot month of JULY, yes~ 

within the misbegotten USofA, 

Saturday The 14th is, also, 

(on top of being "the day after the 13th") 

two very incompatible things: 

AND

NATIONAL 

NUDE 

DAY! 

... okay, it might have been

*international* really...!? 

NOT to be confused with 

''National Send Nudes Day'' 

nor any 

kiwi streaking 

habits... 

(really... FB!!!)

anyway!

...every day is "naked day" for most of us...

and even more so for some in particular...

hmm?

...it has been this way for a long, loooong time now...

...like, you can't shower with your clothes on now ~ can ya? 

or rather DON'T. 

Er... That's one way to participate...?!? 

Don't get us started on PLASTICS again, though...!!! 

But really now... 

That is mighty unwise 

to have those two, er, 

"holidays" 

coincide like that...!!! 

 IT IS NOT SAFE 

to eat your macaroni 'n' cheese 

HOT FROM THE STOVE 

when you have no clothes on!!! 

FOOLS! 

  YOU MIGHT BURN YOURSELF...  

  LIKE... ALL OVER!!!  

Ew ~ yeah, like, that's supposed to be reassuring? 

... yeah, and then the boyfriend (or the girlfriend - meh) 

might take this as a clear hint to do as that ol' band from the 70s 

used to suggest everyone does, in their lone hit that time forgot: 

... just to make it all better - eh?

W.O.D.

... as in ''WOD? WOD?!? 

WHAAAAAAT??? 

ANOTHER *WORLD OCEANS DAY* GOES BY 

AND NOT A WORD OF IT FROM... 

1) AQUAMAN 

2) CAPTAIN NEMO 

3) ARIEL - THE MERMAID, NOT THE ANGEL 

(...) 

999) sub-mariner ...  not that anyone ever wants to hear from him! LOL 

YOU GET THE DRIFT!!! 

Considering the abysmal state of our oceans nowadays, the constant hazards faced by its seafaring denizens, the threats to entire ecosystems, the deterioration of the all-important coral barrier reefs, the depletion of the fish stock and sea mammal population, the sadistic usage of the seas as a dumping ground by countless toxic industries AND several parts of the oceans having become a death trap with the dubious consistence of a soup of plastics WHICH WAS PROVEN TO BE THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF A WHALE, RECENTLY... well, it sucks that all of those sea heroes and ocean defenders are simply not in the mood to talk about it - ever - and not even on WORLD OCEANS DAY...!!! 

THE BLOOD OF COUNTLESS SEA CREATURES 

IS ON YOUR HANDS --- ALL OF YOU!!! 

THIS CANNOT CONTINUE --- 

IT SIMPLY CANNOT CONTINUE LIKE THIS 

Banning plastics is a start... a very necessary one. 

The question is... is it too late, already? 

The industrial age brought about the revolution of plastics - they replaced virtually everything that used to be made with other materials. They were good, cheap, reliable. But then their volatile (e.g. disposable) nature and easy-to-throwaway ''quality'' soon turned into a nightmare as these plastics started to show up ---resurface--- virtually everywhere in nature. Everywhere they shouldn't be present, most particularly in the oceans; and in cataclysmic quantities, at that. This has got to stop. But doubt lingers on many minds that such an AQUAPOCALYPTIC trend can be reversed now, this late into its very visible effects... 

Aye, it may be far too late already 

for all of the world's oceans 

and the Seven Seas... 

But that doesn't prevent our man 

-King of the Oceans, eh; K.O. is O.K. eh- 

to take out ALL of the anguish 

on that lousy representative 

of the industry of PLASTICS! 

He's a big-time freakish JERK... 

And a pervert, on top of that...!!! 

WITH NO RESPECT FOR SEA LIFE 

Aye, I tell you, verily... 

PLASTIC 

MUST DIE! 

ALWAYS SAY NO TO PLASTIC! 

Go Goths Go!

THE
*METROGOTHS* 

LIVES MATTER TOO! 

They who are not sure whether they are 
bloodsucking vampires, make-up aficionados, 
poor porphyria-stricken saps, 
ghouls, zombies, witches, wiccans, weirdos 
or quite simply anemic, slightly evil palefaces...

TODAY, ON MAY THE 22ND, 
IT IS THE GOTHS' TURN IN THE... SUN? 
(... although they're celebrated on every other 
occasion: Valentine's, Halloween... Christmas?)

Once again, for the record -and right off the bat- 

the only "goths" that we will ever acknowledge 

in these luminous parts here

are the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths 

--- capisce? 

(This in spite of what they did to ROMA! 

A barbaric twist on Veni, Vedi... Vinci, eh? 

Well - we forgive... but we don't forget! 

Don Luciano will *never* forget...!!! 

But... Hmm... that is another story.) 

Modern Goths are... 

just not the same thing at all. 

Now, we've gone over those sad details elsewhere already; 
on that certain other blog of ours (no, not ludicrous!) 
(But... yes... on the ludicrous blog, too!) 
... where we define what the Goth is, how it goes 
and why it has to go... 
We coined the term "Metrogoth" there, also! 
Not as rough as an Ostrogoth, 

nor as tough as a Visigoth... 
Just a Metrogoth! 
Could be a slogan - or a tee! 
No? Never mind... 

No matter which way you look at it now... 

The Goth lifestyle is very much alive 

(lest it is... undead, really?) 

It runs the gamut from the bloodletting 

wanna-be vampires out there... 

... now, they may not look like it just like that,  

but those are the harmless ones, in truth! 

... to the borderline cross-dressers 

with very strange taste in music: 

...but never mind those sordid sounds anyways! 

 LET'S MOVE ON! 

And what better way to wrap everything up here 

than rounding up all the usual suspects 

(as we simply love to do - you know it)  

in an attempt to beset the plague, 

extirpate by exposing the bad weed 

and circumvent any further propagation... 

perhaps? 

Hmm... Worry not, we are not so deluded 

as to think a single man -or single blog- 

could possibly ever be able to...! 

We can round them up, though - 

that we sure can do! 

Et les voici... And here they are... 

(as seen on Twitter - 

as the dozen or so above the videos were!)

I am absolutely certain that the odd ones 

over at the United Kingdom of Englandshire agree that 

... this guy and this gal should meet...

... this World Goth Day didn't fall on a Wednesday this year; 

eh? Too darn bad...! It had #WCW written all over it...! 

Aye, ultimately... it does fill my heart with sorrow. 

Aye, it really does. 

For the *metrogoth* is but the saddest of 

night creatures --- 

they put on a brave face, especially on the 22nd of May, 

but deep inside their dark hearts... there is loneliness. 

Anguish. Sullenness. Fear of rejection - or, 

worse yet, of contempt. 

They fight all those feelings off with this front 

that rejects conformity and embraces oddness. 

Yet all they truly want is acceptance... 

It is all very... sad. Aye, it is. 

It made for great tweets, though; 

one must admit! 

The best, by far:

And the second best:
