How Things Have Changed, by Grandma Moses

 

GUESS HOW OLD I AM!

Stay with this … the answer is at the end… It will blow you away!

One evening a grandson
was talking to his grandmother
(that’s me)
about current events.

The grandson asked his grandmother
what she thought about the shootings at schools,
about the computer age,
and about things in general.

The Grandmother replied:
“Well, let me think a minute:

I was born before:
‘ television
‘ penicillin
‘ polio shots
‘ frozen foods
‘ Xerox
‘ contact lenses
‘ Frisbees and
‘ the pill

There were no:
‘ credit cards
‘ laser beams or
‘ ball-point pens

Man had not yet invented:
‘ pantyhose
‘ air conditioners
‘ dishwashers
‘ clothes dryers
‘ and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air
‘ and man hadn’t yet walked on the moon.

Your Grandfather and I got married first,
and then lived together.
Every family had a father and a mother.

Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, “Sir.”
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen
and every man with a title, “Sir.”

We were before gay-rights,
computer-dating,
dual careers,
daycare centers,
and group therapy.

Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments,
good judgment,
and common sense.

We were taught to know the difference between Right and Wrong
and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

Serving your country was a privilege;
living in America was an even bigger privilege.

We thought “fast food” was what people ate during Lent.
“Draft dodgers” were those who closed front doors
as the evening breeze started up.
“Time-sharing” meant time the family spent together
in the evenings and at weekends — not buying condominiums.

We’d never heard of FM radios,
tape decks,
CD’s,
electric typewriters,
yogurt,
or guys wearing earrings.

We listened to Big Bands,
Jack Benny,
and the President’s speeches on our radios.

If you saw anything with “Made in Japan” on it, you knew it was junk.
The term “making out” referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and instant coffee were unheard of.

We had 5  and 10-cent stores in those days
where you could actually buy things
for a nickel (5 cents) or a dime (10 cents).

Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar—
all cost a nickel.
If you want to economize, you could spend your nickel
on enough stamps to mail two postcards and a letter.

You could buy a new Ford Coupé for $600.
A gallon of gas cost a dime — 10 cents.

In my day:

‘ “grass” was mowed,
‘ “coke” was a cold drink,
‘ “pot” was something your mother cooked in,
‘ “rock music” was you got in your rocking chair,
‘ “Aids” were helpers to give you a hand,
‘ “chip” meant a piece of wood,
‘ “hardware” was found in a hardware store
‘ and “software” wasn’t even a word.

We were the last generation
to believe a lady needed a husband
to have a baby.

WOMEN WORE SKIRTS AND DRESSES,
NOT MAN-STYLED PANTS!!!
MEN AND WOMEN WORE HATS AND GLOVES,
ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTENDING CHURCH!!!
NO ONE WORE ‘SHORTS’ TO CHURCH IN THOSE DAYS!!!

So . . . how old do you think I am?

Read on to see—
pretty scary if you think about it
and pretty sad at the same time.

ARE YOU READY?

The woman you see in the photo above is 61 years old.
Yes, that’s ME!

I was born in 1952.

    (Off-topic)

    I was astonished to learn today that an Indian writer had put forward the claim that Adolf Hitler was an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu, putting him on a par with Krishna!

    In her book, The Lightning and the Sun (1958), Savitri Devi outlines her philosophy of life and dedicates the book to Adolf in these words:

    “To the god-like Individual of our times; the Man against Time; the greatest European of all times; both Sun and Lightning: Adolf Hitler, as a tribute of unfailing love and loyalty, for ever and ever.”

    Wow. Ain’t that cool. These Indians, you can’t take them anywhere!

    Women and girls all wore long skirts and dresses when she was younger for a good reason – so as to avoid as far as possible the provoking of lust in men and the consequent objectification of themselves. Our Lady of Fatima revealed to the little shepherd girl Blessed Jacinta Marto before she died in 1920 that “Fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.” And in case one doesn’t know it, the same people control the fashion industry as control the media, entertainment industry, publishing, academia, finance… in fact, all the choke points of our culture.

    Room Conversation — June 17, 1976, Toronto
    Prabhupada: Ah, yes. So these English people, they were very expert in making propaganda. They killed Hitler by propaganda. I don’t think Hitler was so bad man.

    Morning Walk — November 20, 1975, Bombay
    Prabhupada: No, no. Hitler knew it [the atom bomb]. . . . No, no. He knew it, everything, but he did not like to do it. He said. He said. He was gentleman. But these people are not gentlemen. He knew it perfectly well. He said that “I can smash the whole world, but I do not use that weapon.” The Germans already discovered. But out of humanity they did not use it. And all the, your American, other countries, they have stolen from German ideas.

    Conversation During Massage — January 23, 1977, Bhuvanesvara
    Prabhupada: Therefore Hitler killed these Jews. They were financing against Germany. Otherwise he had no enmity with the Jews. . . . And they were supplying. They want interest money — “Never mind against our country.” Therefore Hitler decided, “Kill all the Jews.”

  4. Joe says:

    Devi totally missed the mark about Hitler. Hitler’s heart was with the communists/satanists. His role was to undermine and usurp the collective desire of the German people to live in a normal world, without usury, heavy debt, without malnutrition, without starvation, without the fear of the gulag, etc. — to throw off the harshness of Versailles, and to be free from the threat of communist mass-murderers, like what happened in the Soviet Union.
    All of Germany was left in rubble after WW2, except IG Farben facilities. The German civilian population was decimated during the war, yet IG Farben — The source, foundation, sustenance, supplier, and financier — for the Nazi Party and the Nazi military/war-machine, was off-limits to the Allied air forces. IGF was untouched in all the horrific bombing raids over Germany.
    IG Farben was financed from Wall Street. Hitler [ and Mussolini ] were puppets for the world’s bankers.
    I don’t think there was ever any Aryan race, great or otherwise. Just the Caucasian race.
    And we Caucasians are easily fooled, and easily bamboozled ; And how easy it is to fool us : Our love of internecine war, and our mercenary spirit, makes us vulnerable to anyone who comes around promising us Glory, spoils-of-war, and some medals.
    A few well-placed newspaper articles [now teevee new & internet reports] and we’re ready to march to war.
    Hardly any questions asked, either by our white leaders, or by the general population. 9/11 is a perfect example.
    The ancient Hebrew religion was usurped in Babylon. It’s was usurped by the force of evil. It still rules us. The inception of today’s matrix was set-up in Babylon. Read Mullins’ “Curse of Canaan”. It’s online in pdf. Good place to start studying about the matrix.
    The whole Jew = evil / Christian = good is a giant hegelian dialectic to keep us forever at one anothers’ throats while the satanic rulers of this world herd all of us — both Jew and Christian — around like cattle, and slaughter us like cattle , when it suits them.
    That the satanic rulers of this world are so successful is because of our own innate faults : The Caucasian mercenary spirit and love of war — especially internecine war. Both Jews and Christians are culpable for the destruction of the West ; Both groups are easily fooled and bamboozled. Both are Caucasians, for the most part.
    There’s no great Aryan race around who’s going to save us. If there ever was a great Aryan race [ I seriously doubt it] they’re not around anymore. No great avatar — Aryan or otherwise — is going to save the West.
    The Jews would benefit if they could see clearly their own Jewish leadership played a giant role in setting up Nazi Germany : That the whole world is not out to get them.
    And we Christians — and white Caucasians, Christian or not — would benefit if we could see clearly the Nazi movement in Germany [ and fascists in Italy ] were not about advancing the interests of the white, Caucasian race. The Nazi and Fascist movements were about usurping and undermining the collective desire of many white Europeans to break out of the matrix.
    Many jews, and many non-jews, were involved in the destruction of Europe in WW2 — and the destruction of the West we’re now experiencing today.
    The whole “Aryan” thing is about propagandizing us white non-jews into thinking the world be great if not for the jews. The Jews are out to get us, as per the WN narrative.
    I never hear of WN’ers going to the Christian churches and telling the Christian pastors to forsake their 501c tax break from Uncle Sam. The churches have to toe the government line to get the tax break. How come the WN’ers never put any pressure on their [ and my ] own kind to change? They only point their fingers at the Jews, while our own kind sell-out in droves [sold-out in droves throughout history].
    In the meantime, the WN’ers regale me with tales of some great Aryan race.
    I don’t buy it.

    @ Darrell Wright

    If proud poets can preach
    And prim birds lay their eggs,
    Why can’t I walk on the beach
    And show off my legs?

    Clowns clatter round on stilts.
    To each their just deserts!
    If men can wear kilts,
    Why can’t women wear skirts?

    Men wander around town
    And their legs are all hairy.
    Do I put on a frown
    And say, Hey, that is scary!

    No, no, I assure you,
    I am not a prim Miss—
    I’m off to Timbuctoo
    In search of the IS!

    Oh it’s real hot in Africa—
    So I’ll walk about nude!
    I hope you don’t mind, sir—
    You preposterous prude!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hey, only kidding!—
    Just flexing my verse muscles,
    Seeing if the blood at my bidding
    Can reach my red corpuscles.

  8. darrell says:

    @ Decadent Poetess
    I’m very glad you don’t really think I’m a preposterous prude. I was only repeating what Our Lady of Fatima revealed. She also said, “Woe to women on account of immodesty,” and “More souls go to hell on account of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” Remember also that Jesus said in the gospel, “If a man looks at a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

    But many who have fallen for modern decadent ways of thinking will definitely think I am a preposterous prude. I’m reminded of what one of the ancient Christian hermits of the Desert said: “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, “You are mad, you are not like us.” (Abba Anthony, in Sayings of the Desert Fathers, 6)

    • Berenice says:

      “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, “You are mad, you are not like us.” (Abba Anthony, in Sayings of the Desert Fathers, 6)

      An astute comment, Darrell. But can you provide a better source for the quote above?

      “Sayings of the Desert Fathers, 6″ . . . is far too vague and unprofessional.

  9. darrell says:

    … and how did you know I was Darrell Wright and not just some other Darrell? I’m tempted to think you are Darkmoon the Dark Decadent Poetess, but then again I’d think her verse would be a bit superior in quality, so I don’t know.

    • Berenice says:

      We all know you are “Darrell Wright”, Darrell, because we are old hands and we are acquainted with your style of writing: your fund of religious quotes and your long-term preoccupation with our Lady of Fatima. There are not many “Darrells” around who keep on about Our Lady of Fatima, are there? “Darrell Wright” is the only one we know!

      Besides, if Lasha wrote this poem, I don’t think the poem is of “poor quality” as you superciliously suggest — not if if it was dashed off in ten minutes. It’s clearly meant to be comical and lighthearted and was obviously written extempore and hurriedly in response to your comment.

      I don’t think Lasha wrote it anyway. She would never describe herself as a “Decadent Poetess.”

  10. kapoore says:

    The picture of the Granny doesn’t look like someone born in 1952 making that person 61 years old. That woman looks more in her 80s but whatever. The fifties generation was my generation and we left the gloves and mid-calf dresses to put on hippie beads and head bands. We were the generation that the Frankfurt School decided would replace the working class as the proletariate. We became the army of the politically correct. Most of us are still programmed walking zombies. This is the group of people who turn on the TV show “Homeland” and quote from the New York Times as the great authority of all that is real and true. This is the group that adores Obama. Their lives are difficult because maybe they got divorsed and their kids are definitely having a hard time finding work, but they believe passionately in all those liberal causes. They DO NOT connect the DOTS. And they reject the people who do. SHHHH

    Sometimes I think back to yesteryear like the older person that I am and I remember the orderly classrooms of the fifties and early sixties. There were so many smart kids then. There were no special ed classes, no SSRIs, no adderal, and young people weren’t sick with diabetes, arthritus, lupus, cancer. Never heard of any of those things.

    • lobro says:

      good work, kapoore.

      having successfully connected most of the dots, the overarching question remains to identify the elephant in the room.

      why?
      where do the force lines lead?
      what unifying principle generates and guides all these sociopathic diseases like frankfurt school, bolshevism, neoliberalism, the neocon thinktanks, the monopolies of media, entertainment, academia and social networking in order to efficiently corrode people’s ability to think logically, to independently separate the wheat from the chaff.

    Until I can be more specific about publisher and date, does this look a little more professional?

  14. Ares says:

    The great changes in society sound awfully like Mother Shipton’s prophecy:

    And now a word, in uncouth rhyme
    Of what shall be in future time

    Then upside down the world shall be
    And gold found at the root of tree
    All England’s sons that plough the land
    Shall oft be seen with Book in hand
    The poor shall now great wisdom know
    Great houses stand in farflung vale
    All covered o’er with snow and hail

    A carriage without horse will go
    Disaster fill the world with woe.
    In London, Primrose Hill shall be
    In centre hold a Bishop’s See

    Around the world men’s thoughts will fly
    Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
    And water shall great wonders do
    How strange. And yet it shall come true.

    Through towering hills proud men shall ride
    No horse or ass move by his side.
    Beneath the water, men shall walk
    Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk.
    And in the air men shall be seen
    In white and black and even green

    A great man then, shall come and go
    For prophecy declares it so.

    In water, iron, then shall float
    As easy as a wooden boat
    Gold shall be seen in stream and stone
    In land that is yet unknown.

    And England shall admit a Jew
    You think this strange, but it is true
    The Jew that once was held in scorn
    Shall of a Christian then be born.

    A house of glass shall come to pass
    In England. But Alas, alas
    A war will follow with the work
    Where dwells the Pagan and the Turk

    These states will lock in fiercest strife
    And seek to take each others life.
    When North shall thus divide the south
    And Eagle build in Lions mouth
    Then tax and blood and cruel war
    Shall come to every humble door.

    Three times shall lovely sunny France
    Be led to play a bloody dance
    Before the people shall be free
    Three tyrant rulers shall she see.

    Three rulers in succession be
    Each springs from different dynasty.
    Then when the fiercest strife is done
    England and France shall be as one.

    The British olive shall next then twine
    In marriage with a german vine.
    Men walk beneath and over streams
    Fulfilled shall be their wondrous dreams.

    For in those wondrous far off days
    The women shall adopt a craze
    To dress like men, and trousers wear
    And to cut off their locks of hair
    They’ll ride astride with brazen brow
    As witches do on broomstick now.

    And roaring monsters with man atop
    Does seem to eat the verdant crop
    And men shall fly as birds do now
    And give away the horse and plough.

    There’ll be a sign for all to see
    Be sure that it will certain be.
    Then love shall die and marriage cease
    And nations wane as babes decrease

    And wives shall fondle cats and dogs
    And men live much the same as hogs.

    In nineteen hundred and twenty six
    Build houses light of straw and sticks.
    For then shall mighty wars be planned
    And fire and sword shall sweep the land.

    When pictures seem alive with movements free
    When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea,
    When men like birds shall scour the sky
    Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.

    For those who live the century through
    In fear and trembling this shall do.
    Flee to the mountains and the dens
    To bog and forest and wild fens.

    For storms will rage and oceans roar
    When Gabriel stands on sea and shore
    And as he blows his wondrous horn
    Old worlds die and new be born.

    A fiery dragon will cross the sky
    Six times before this earth shall die
    Mankind will tremble and frightened be
    for the sixth heralds in this prophecy.

    For seven days and seven nights
    Man will watch this awesome sight.
    The tides will rise beyond their ken
    To bite away the shores and then
    The mountains will begin to roar
    And earthquakes split the plain to shore.

    And flooding waters, rushing in
    Will flood the lands with such a din
    That mankind cowers in muddy fen
    And snarls about his fellow men.

    He bares his teeth and fights and kills
    And secrets food in secret hills
    And ugly in his fear, he lies
    To kill marauders, thieves and spies.

    Man flees in terror from the floods
    And kills, and rapes and lies in blood
    And spilling blood by mankinds’ hands
    Will stain and bitter many lands

    And when the dragon’s tail is gone,
    Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on
    To apply himself – too late, too late
    For mankind has earned deserved fate.

    His masked smile – his false grandeur,
    Will serve the Gods their anger stir.
    And they will send the Dragon back
    To light the sky – his tail will crack
    Upon the earth and rend the earth
    And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.

    But slowly they are routed out
    To seek diminishing water spout
    And men will die of thirst before
    The oceans rise to mount the shore.

    And lands will crack and rend anew
    You think it strange. It will come true.

    And in some far off distant land
    Some men – oh such a tiny band
    Will have to leave their solid mount
    And span the earth, those few to count,
    Who survives this (unreadable) and then
    Begin the human race again.

    But not on land already there
    But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare
    Not every soul on Earth will die
    As the Dragons tail goes sweeping by.

    Not every land on earth will sink
    But these will wallow in stench and stink
    Of rotting bodies of beast and man
    Of vegetation crisped on land.

    But the land that rises from the sea
    Will be dry and clean and soft and free
    Of mankinds’ dirt and therefore be
    The source of man’s new dynasty.

    And those that live will ever fear
    The dragons tail for many year
    But time erases memory
    You think it strange. But it will be.

    And before the race is built anew
    A silver serpent comes to view
    And spew out men of like unknown
    To mingle with the earth now grown
    Cold from its heat and these men can
    Enlighten the minds of future man.

    To intermingle and show them how
    To live and love and thus endow
    The children with the second sight.
    A natural thing so that they might
    Grow graceful, humble and when they do
    The Golden Age will start anew.

    The dragon’s tail is but a sign
    For mankind’s fall and man’s decline.
    And before this prophecy is done
    I shall be burned at the stake, at one
    My body singed and my soul set free
    You think I utter blasphemy
    You’re wrong. These things have come to me
    This prophecy will come to be.

    • Xanadu says:

      Ares: Many thanks for sharing Mother Shipton’s “Prophecy” with us. Amazing to think her predictions were published in 1643, over three and a half centuries ago! She certainly got the feminists right:

      For in those wondrous far off days
      The women shall adopt a craze
      To dress like men, and trousers wear
      And to cut off their locks of hair
      They’ll ride astride with brazen brow
      As witches do on broomstick now.

      “Ride astride” means riding astride on horseback, since in those days only upperclass ladies rode horses and they always sat side saddle. This was to prevent friction being applied to their private parts which would otherwise come into direct contact with the saddle. This in turn happened if women rode astride, which some daring women would do, because women didn’t wear underwear in those days. Nor did men. Underwear had still to be invented!

      “Ride astride” could also have a sexual meaning, i.e., the women of the future would abandon the missionary position in sex and be more innovative — “ride astride”.

      • hp says:

        There’s more to riding that broom stick than meets the mind.

        Cutting the hair short and wearing pants is hardly comparable to tripping on ergot, applied by broomstick..

        “They’ll ride astride with brazen brow
        As witches do on broomstick now.”

        • hp says:

          From a 1324 investigation of the case of Lady Alice Kyteler:

          “In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntment, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin.”

      • lobro says:

        ride astride also may have the following consequence, which may have mattered at one time:
        in my first year of university, i had a friend whose girlfriend claimed she busted her hymen while riding (a horse) astride.

        forgot to ask what position the horse was in.

        • Gilbert Huntly says:

          She obviously was in an ill-fit saddle! (probably a novice rider, then, too)

          When sized properly, that little rise on the front of an English or Australian working saddle (called a “Buena Vista” saddle) massages her little boatman quite adequately. I have often seen – and looked for (discreetly, of course) – the wet jodhpurs on the ladies after a chase.(!)

  15. Ares says:

    Here’s a video of Mother Shipton’s prophecy:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJhfAouuTHc

    take note of this verse:

    “And England shall admit a Jew
    You think this strange, but it is true
    The Jew that once was held in scorn
    Shall of a Christian then be born.”

    The terrible future is caused by the rise of Jewish power, the Jewish onslaught caused by the English admitting the Jew, brought to power by a Christian.

    Then as the prophecies and time progresses things become uncouth and chaotic (due much to Jewish influence and control) the rise of feminism and brazen behavior of modern women (forced into the work force) by the Jewish designed destruction of family and marriage.

    “For in those wondrous far off days
    The women shall adopt a craze
    To dress like men, and trousers wear
    And to cut off their locks of hair
    They’ll ride astride with brazen brow
    As witches do on broomstick now.”

    Lucky for us this prophecy is in chronological order and written in English. So where are we now, after the 2oth century of bloodletting ends, man is in fear and hiding in the woods:

    “For those who live the century through
    In fear and trembling this shall do.
    Flee to the mountains and the dens
    To bog and forest and wild fens.”

    Amazing accurate description that at the peak of technological achievements men are reduced to fear and hiding do to the Jew Terror War on everyone. Then during this age of terror great celestial event destroys civilization and men kill each other over food.

    So the preppers are about to be right.

    • Gilbert Huntly says:

      Ares, Xanadu,

      Although, before this time, I had never heard of Mother Shipton’s Prophecy, I can immediately find merit in almost every verse. The ones I do not perceive, I will attribute to my own ignorance.

      As for the girls “riding astride” – indeed, they derive a certain pleasure therefrom. (I have inquired this of some of them when in more intimate situations.)(which is not to immediately dubb them “feminists” – au contraire – but having been penned in 1643 certainly lends substantial credibility to this “prophecy”!).

      But now that I have addressed the more prurient interests of many, I must extend a hearty “Thank you!” to Ares for having brought these verses to our (my) attention. (I am going to print it out, frame it, and hang it somewhere near my desk!)

  16. hp says:

    Not to diminish Mother Shipton’s or anyone’s reporting from the 17th century or any century, but how hard is it to prophesize doom and gloom in any century; past, present or future?
    Murder and mayhem, disasters natural and manufactured, enhanced with details like roving bands of cannibals, people fleeing to the woods, minimal life expectancy, cliouds of ash, terrible storms, etc. are not hard to imagine at all.

    A perfect example of this is Helen Keller, who, while being deaf, dumb and blind managed to whip off a few dire prophesies herself.

    Thousands of years ago Easterners prophesized these very same scenarios and even the far far Westerners (Turtle Islanders) said basically the same things, in so many words, many times.

    I consider these dire prophesies more of a ‘bidness as usual’ reporting, rather anything mystical, ordained or supernatural.

      Maybe so, hp. But to have put in VERSE so accurately certain elements of today’s conditions…

      “And round the world men’s thoughts will fly
      Quick as the twinkling of an eye…”

      “A carriage without horse will go…”

      and boats will “swim beneath the sea”; and those made of iron will float…

      I think the old gal had it pretty accurate for her day! (and ours)

      I happen to agree that there is way to much doom and gloom, the Judeo-Christian death cults have so much influence over our culture’s collective thoughts that apocalypse themes dominate movies and books, like the all time best seller “The Late Great Planet Earth” by that Zionist delivery boy Hal Lindsey.

      There is a very popular vampire and goth sub culture, women who put on zombie like make up, I wonder if they take cold showers before sex. Google “hot goth chick” to see how popular this theme is.

      After the Apocalypse will we want to absorb ourselves in apocalyptic movies and books? Probably not. I have an idea, lets not ride this bus off the cliff, lets stop worshipping death. After the Apocalypse the Bible might even be banned, see the movie “Book of Eli”.

      Back to Mother Shipton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Shipton), according to wiki she was born in 1488, 525 years ago, remarkable vision of the future if this is no hoax. She died in 1561 compared to Nostradamus (France) (1503-1566) also has comet prophecies very similar to hers:

      Quatrain II.46

      “After great misery for mankind an even greater one approaches, when the great cycle of the centuries is renewed. It will rain blood, milk, famine, war and disease. In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a tail of sparks. ”

      Both are saying the 20th century would be massive bloodshed, then early into the next century even a greater calamity of greater bloodshed and death. Looking at how Zionist occupied nation states are pushing WW3 this does seem reasonable. From a karmic standpoint a certainty, how many nations can you bomb and drone before you are paid back in full?

      Both prophets are describing earth’s passage through the tail of a large comet:

      “A fiery dragon will cross the sky …As the Dragons tail goes sweeping by”

      The gravitational tides are so huge the earth is rendered, continents upheaved, oceans floors become land all are descriptions of a large celestial object pulling on the earth.

    Well Gilbert, first of all there ain’t no maybe about it. It’s carved in stone, at least.

    Prophesy is so relative even a parrot might easily in rhyme wax both profoundly and profanely.

    An example being the world renowned “Barnacle Bill the Sailor” (“Bollocky Bill the Sailor”).

    It rhymes nicely, is much more famous and is just as eternally prophetically predictable.

      Best to just quit worrying about it, then, I reckon. This cold weather has gotten to me (10 degrees where I am, right now).

      Thinking about it, probably now is a good time to go to Florida for a week or two. Pretend there is no dire ending. Just drink and fornicate, goy that I am!

  18. hp says:

    Yes Gilbert, I’d have to lie to disagree with you on that.

    I’m currently living 35 miles due south of Lake Erie.

    The other day, whilst meandering through the snowy icy woods down by the riverside, throbbing toes on fire with that very special cold numb pain, spurred me on to humming Dixie!

    I quit when I saw the bear!

  19. Gilbert Huntly says:

    Doggone, I AM in Dixie! (high up in the Virginia mountains, though)

    Have done quite a bit of business up your way in the past, and those docks at Ashtabula get reeeal cold from the wind off Erie! It has to be zero there, today!

    Yes it’s cold today and 9 or 10 feet of snow before it’s done.
    The big change in winters here now is the frequent extended thaws, all winter.
    Started about the 15 – 20 years ago. No coyotes or vultures around here until then.
    There sure is now. Bear tracks in the dead of winter used to be rarely seen up here but with these intense thaws they are now. A few years ago spring came way early and an early bear ruined my sturdy metal woodpecker suet feeders and all the others and then got into the shed, dragged out a barrel half full of sunflower seeds and cracked corn and chowed down. I heard something outside but thought it was my brother. (the one with the derringer) (haha)
    Had a big board and three cinder blocks on top to keep the coons out o When we When we were kids we’d fight pretty good to see who got to take the pan and spoon out and scare the bears off!
    Good times not to be found in the the city.

    I did one time climb Barney’s Wall with a quart of Guinness and a sweet red head, yessirree!
