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.
