A MESSAGE OF CONCENSUS OF PSYCHIATRIC OPINIONATIONS....CIRCA 1964..... ISN'T THE 'WAY YOU LOOK'.....'WHO YOU ARE'?

Image
ATTENTION ,  CHRISTIAN AMERICANS !.......These wholesome-looking lads are at risk.               They are being, increasingly,  attracted by the powerful magnet of  Beatnik Subculture....Now, spread, like a lethal Virus....from the West Side of Lower Manhattan to 'as far as Miami'.    Get them to Brooks Brothers... before they fall .. prey ...to the  machinations of the artsy, intellectual Bohemian subculture...writing poetry, playing bongos or wearing 'shades',  as they recite/sing of new-found lurid counter-culture anarchy & Convention dissolution, and hang posters of James Dean and Jack Kerouac on their bedroom walls...... Support the DRESS RIGHT LEAGUE OF COMMON DECENCY !     

If this Family Portrait from two hundred years ago were to be interpreted, today...??

Image
                               1) A married couple, seen with their seven children.....                              2) A divorcing couple, each having selected "their" children, divided by this                                                   separation.....                              3) A family, to be divided by the death of the Father....leaving four childred and their                                     mother penniless and three children with his estate, in accordance with the laws of inheritance at this Time.      ...

'DAMN THE DEFIANT'

Image
  A Bruce Davidson photo of a young, defiant  black woman being apprehended and arrested for 'making trouble'....ironically, on a street...across from which a  1962-3 Double Feature of BACK STREET and DAMN THE DEFIANT is showing.....The first Film's script was written by Pro-Black Rights Activist, Fannie Hurst, a champion of African-American Equality (and, also, author of IMITATION OF LIFE .... )  and the second Film is about Rebellion and Mutiny.. in protest against Injustice.......

DOES ONE'S USE OF PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS, EVEN IF ONLY FOR TEMPORARY PLEASURE, PERMANENTLY ALTER HUMAN DNA; CONSEQUENTLY, RESTRUCTURING THE CHEMISTRY OF NEURAL CELL REPLICATION?

Image
                                                                 THE ANSWER IS ' YES ' ......                                                                     A MESS OF INSTANTANEOUS CHEMICAL REARRANGEMENTS MAY OCCUR......                    TRY TO DE-TANGLE THIS 'MESS'!    THAT MAY BE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK........

THE "CYLERT-INDUCED" AUTOMATIC DRAWING.....OR, WAS THE NEWLY-OBSESSIVE DRAWING A RESULTANT OF MY NEWLY REORGANIZED BRAIN CHEMISTRY?

Image
One, of the many black and grey drawings/paintings that I did...meticulously...., while abed, in Amsterdam, during my recovery from a butane gas-induced coma......I was bathing in a rather closed and windowless bathroom in Soest....The pilot light went out when I turned 'off' the hot water supply... and odorless gas filled the room, inducing 'sleep'....then coma as the room temperature dropped about 30 degrees.....Fortunately, one of the friends that I was visiting, an Internist, arrived and removed the self-locking steel door to the room...as 'good'  luck would have it.....and called for  an ambulance, that delivered me to an Emergency Room, where I was delivered oxygen and then-experimental 'brain drug',   Cylert .....which I took, daily, for months afterwards, even being aware that the drug, itselt, had the potential to eliminate me, since I had lived through mononucleosis, as a youth, and hepatitus,  just a year earlier.......These wild, highly det...

Multifactor Synergistic Epistasis Dimensionality Reduction...

....evolved, specifically, for nonparametric and model-free detection of combinations of genetic variants that are predictive of a phenotype... some of which are isolated from genetic reproduction and become Artists Without Progeny ....and are more comfortable with both cognitive dissonance and semitonal variance than unconsciously collusive ' good dog ' rewarding systems that maintain Stasis in societal evolution.....

"Well, Kick my Ass"...... THESE ONCE REFRACTORY, INTRACTABLE, INSUBORDINATE, CONTUMACIOUS KIDS ARE JUST 'ASKING FOR IT', NOW, AREN'T THEY?

Image
 PARENTS, TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN TO 'TAKE IT ON/IN THE ASS'.....                                        'THE 'THREE POINT STANCE'                   "SUBMIT TO AUTHORITY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENTIAL HUMILIATION..."                                                                     "RECALCITRANCE IS FUTILE"......

THE EVENTUALITY OF LARGELY SUBJUNCTIVE LANGUAGE'S EVOLUTION WILL, EVENTUALLY, ENABLE BOYS TO WEAR PINK BOWS AND GIRLS TO WEAR BLUE ONES.....

Image
  Partially because English lacks some of the language devices that are incorporated in the development of some other languages, there exists an ambiguity within our usage of singular epicene antecedents....... For example: someone left "their" book at the restaurant........Is this person male or female? "Their" implies more than one person, doesn't it? I was taught in elementary school to use the masculine pronoun unless the antecedent has been already established.......EXAMPLE: Mary left "her" book at the restaurant....... When the antecedent is unclear, we say "Someone left "his" book at the restaurant.... but never "someone left "their" book at the restaurant, unless the book belonged to more than one person....... There must be an acceptable workaround, but I see scant evident of this in modern English usage. {Three factors appear to contribute to speakers' choice of pronominal: presuppositions about gender roles...

Escape, as the Felines arrive.......Nothing is Predictively Sacred....even Traditional Piscatorial Preconceptions

                              SORRY, CHARLIE.....KITTY WANTS TUNA THAT 'TASTES GOOD'...                                                        NOT TUNA WITH 'GOOD TASTE.                    "PAPER WRAPS ROCK"    "ROCK BREAKS SISSORS"   "SCISSORS CUT PAPER"  

The black sheep follows, almost out of sight, to avoid being noticed….the little unsuspecting lamb is singled out for the Sacrifice……There’ll be grilled baby lamb chops and blood of The Lamb for all ’true believers’, according to ritualized tradition and Biblical dictates…..

 that curved top 'shepherd's staff' is for hooking the necks of sheep that 'stray'...bringing them 'back to the Flock' or dragging both the unruly and the submissive from the Pasture to be stripped of their wool, then     butchered and served to True Believers on their favorite Holidays....

PINK BOWS ON THE GIRL BABIES' HEADS.....BLUE BOWS ON THE BOYS'.....ISN'T THAT THE WAY BINARY "GOD" PLANNED IT, HERMAPHRODITIS ?

Image
as a sequel to my 'dexterity co-efficiency' series about the significance of design as it relates, as Art, to everyday objects and everyday common concepts....... question #683 , of those questions that drive parents nuts when barrages of them inundate Ward and June's dinner table conversation......:  What is the 'gender equivalency' of these two silver spoons? What constructs, what preconceived ideas about ' gender '? What determines our processing and instantaneous 'labeling' of just about any and everything? In what ways do we unthinkingly categorize items in everyday usage......and people, in everyday correspondences?.. Child: ' Why do people cut boxer dogs' tails off and slice their ears, to they'll stand up ? " Parent: " that's the way God wants it to be, Little Mary.....Like, you are wearing a pink dress....because you are a girl, honey. ." Child (Mary) : " Then, why is Mommie wearing pants, like y...

MARY HARTMAN......MARY HARTMAN......Yet Another "39-er" bites the metal surround on her formica-clad Life Counter....

Image
Yet another harvest-gold and avocado-green '39-er' has kicked the plastic-linered, step-to-open trash bucket......Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman's Louise Lasser....whose over 300 episodes of the hilarious, satirical comedy brought many of my friends to their TV sets, nightly....Often, viewing the show was, like reefer-puffing and cheap Portuguese wine imbibing, a communal event..After the Show, artsy, rebellious friends were stimulated to 'make Art', have orgies and food fests, as well....risking 'drowning in the soup' , electrocution during a 'rubber duck' hunt, or being empaled on a fake 'x-mas tree in a box'........as they feign suffocation while seeing how long they can hold their head down on a b'day cake, covered with 2 inches of 7-minute icing........Then, Saturday Night Live took over for this Nonesense Romp....and survives, still..... .SNL will, likely, do a parody of MH-MH, soon....perhaps this Saturday! Ever tried to explain an h...

All that 'blowing stuff up' during America's JULY 4TH CELEBRATIONS, yesterday.....Steve 'cutts' to the Chase.....

Image
was, like watching contentious sporting events in huge stadiums, filled with tens of thousands of shouting people, waving their arms and jumping up and down like excited monkeys,  but a temporizing respite from what has been, historically, just the 'way it is'?......Today, after a few hours of sleep, the Billions will be back 'up in arms'....to fulfill their apparent, urgent need to mass-participate, if only as spectators, chowing on pizza with one hand and raising their phones with the other, as they watch replays of yesterday's Fireworks Show......The wild animals...well, not the humans ....that dwell in the trees and hobbits of the heavily wooded part of town where I live...have been very silent and withdrawn...likely...still freaked out over all the explosions in the air, yesterday.....billions of 'them' were killed during the explosive Festival.....I heard, this morning, that a neighborhood boy had burned his finger, holding a sparkler stick and an...

I took The Sopwith's advice during a critical phase of my life.....turning 21! Stamping out the 'assigned Reality' and replacing it with a head-in-the-clouds Heightened Perspective, without Magical Realism....and a stack of books by Gabriel García Márquez

    We're not 'The Lovin' Spoonful'....and we can't 'make the medicine go down' any more than "Hello" makes us the best of Friends. Welcome to the Kama Sutra, freaks. And, You.. Shutup, Gary Puckett...and..you too, Mary Hopkin... I was  expecting a brand new day....any day now.......if I could  only disentangle my Hari Krishni robes, enmeshed in those Disraeli Gears.....Help, R.D. Laing...I'll listen to your hype, too, you drunken depressive....Adam shoulda known better than think his Dad really knew any more than any other intellectualizing egghead on psychotropics.......So....Just listen to the music....Yeah, I hear ya, Huey......Just shut up and dance!         Well, I know you know better Everything I say Meet me in the country for a day We'll be happy and we'll dance Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away

Get your VAMPIRE KILLER KIT....... in its deluxe hardwood carry case.....While supplies last!

Image
 Complete, with detailed Instruction Manual..... a cross, two cruxifixes,  tannis root, a rosary in its case, wax candles,  silver dagger, pistol & silver bullets, holy water, wolfsbane, brimstone,  powdered garlic flowers,  four wooden stakes and a hammer, inlaid with a golden cross.....   These 'Kits' were actually produced and marketed to potential 'vampire killers'......especially, after the many Hammer Horror Films of the 1960's....    An absolute  " necessary" for God-loving Christians......Think about how much satisfaction it would be to eliminate all the evil blood-suckers from the face of Earth......Once released from the Power Of Satan, the souls of the once-pure, will then be free to fly on angel wings to Heaven and the embrace of God, Almighty.     Some tooth filing may be required to prevent defensive puncture wounds.....[ files are available at an extra expense as are pure silver hand cuffs and leg iron...
