MY Letter To The Yes Men who never said yes to me.

Dear Yes Men,
CASA GOOFY INTERNATIONAL
(NON PROFIT LLC)
1323 W. Hualpai Rd.
Tucson, AZ 85745

 

One of our favorite WWOOFER visitors writes from across the pond:

"Anyway the silver lining for us Brits is that he is a joke even before he says or does anything, because we use the word trump as another word for fart. So talk on the news of a trump quake was pretty hilarious!"

Casa Goofy International's Mission is a global conversation using local examples. You can't get much more local than a fart. So fart jokes are an integral cornerstone of our conversational menu. We will serve no fart before its time.
Message from local Cartoonish for The AZ Daily Start, David Wayne Fitzsimmons:

“If you stop laughing you become bitter. Laughing at authoritarianism and racism and fascism is the most galling powerful civil defiance. Ridicule that resonates transforms a national conversation. On the downside it only took America 6-years to figure out "W" was incompetent. We re-elected a chimp in a dunce cap, for God's sake, so hang on to your hats and your 401Ks. And your medicare. It's going to be a long woolly ride. A golden-haired tycoon with the attention span of a gnat is the President-elect. He's given new meaning to the words "White" House. Question for Bannon: When's the first cross burning in the Rose Garden? Civil liberty is on the line. The ideals of the American revolution are on the line. Journalists must be the clear cold eyes of the nation--for without transparency--and accountability democracies perish. Laughter is an act of faith that our America will endure this calamity intact and I believe with all my red, white and blue heart that it will.”

I had this idea (but it would be best to start it in England where, as I just explained, “Trump” is slang for fart,  because if you have to explain the joke over here in Amerikaka, it’s DOA.

The idea is for political demonstrations-rituals called Trump-Ins in which people bring big garbage bags in which they have stored farts and additionally have eaten lots of beans, sauerkraut and other gas producing foods and then let it all out, lighting as many releases as possible.  These releases could go into a large tower, naturally called “The Trump Tower” while the speaker talks with microphones both at his mouth and ass  about the global danger of methane releases from Fracking and in the warming Arctic ocean and Siberia and using as many gross puns as possible such as "BREAKING news" (drumroll whoopee cushion). The ultimate goal would be to do this as close to United Nations or other governmental edifices and live meetings and in as outrageous & illegal ways as possible so as to get everyone arrested so that at the trial the court will be faced with multiple difficulties in keeping straight faces much less dignified procedures, exponentially increasing opportunities for sudden spewing with stuff coming out the noses of white wigged adjudicators & jurors. The judge's efforts to maintain order (& have the Bailiff remove all people who've smuggled in whoopee cushions) just increasing the hilarity. What makes it funny is not the quality, wit or merit of the humor, but, as in any laugh club, it's the number of people laughing AND laughing AT the difficulty of others trying to conduct a dignified proceeding. Even enough people pretending to be laughing makes for real laughter. People can't help it, their bodyminds are just natural imitators.

Like I said, this "movement" should start in MERRY old England where laughter about bodily functions is more normative and the synonym for trump doesn't have to be explained.  I have only one contact over there, a woman who used to WWOOF at our urban farm AKA Casa Goofy International.  I have no idea whether Trump-Ins have a chance even over in Britain or not but God what an opportunity for "the last best laugh(s)" in so many "senses" of the word. If we could get the famous political performance art group "The Yes Men" involved, the Trump-In would be a shoe-in. Ah dear God! The possibilities are so endless, and so just beyond reach, I'm drooling on my shoes. As Calvin used to say in the comic strip Calvin And Hobbes,

"This is so good I have go to the restroom!"

P.S. a corollary or simultaneity to Trump Ins could be Nude Ins because we are all naked under Trump.  Now there is no disguising H.L. Menken’s often heralded “stupidity of the American public” and global warming is now naked without the feel good environmentalism of liberals and progressives.  We can talk about the steep curve of extreme emergency level greenhouse gasses, and the feedback loops that will continue escalating regardless of any decrease in an increase.  This nakedness needs to go global because the effects of the “Trump Quake” have been felt worldwide.  France’s Le Pen having been invited to the White House is only one of many examples. 

Possible posters:

“WHAT DO WE HAVE TO HIDE?”
“ARMAGEDDON TO KNOW YOU”
“THE PERMAFROST IS TRUMPING”
“METHANE TRUMPS TRUMP”

A large physical model of a global warming feedback loop might actually be looked at and get some media attention as long as farts and fire are the teasers.
