The show must go on...

Die hard Pink Floyd fans would relate to this...

Apologies to Waters (another of my greats), I had to, had to twist this to my convenience...

U...ma, U...ma
Must the show go on?
U...ma. Take me home
U...ma. Let me go

There must be some mistake
I didnt mean to let them
Take away my soul.
Am I too old, is it too late?

U...ma, U...ma
Where has the feeling gone?
U...ma, U...ma
Will I remember the songs,
The show must go on.

Must the show go on?

Rat ya Tra?

This ya That? Ying ya Yang? Black ya White? Truth ya Lies? A few of the eternal questions being asked to get the eternal answer Of Life, The Universe and Nothing.

It is of course well known how an additional letter (in this case the letter "H") caused so much havoc and pain to the now well know section of the field of potatoes called Intheair (the "r" is hardly pronounced).

Goes to prove how careful one must be in dotting ones ayes and crossing ones tees or in this case, striking out ones etches.

RESIG Nation

A new form of government, has recently been defined, as definitions go. Resig nation. Yes, it can happen in one and only one place in this big field of potatoes, the section surrounded three sides by large expanses of water and on the one remaining side by an expansive mound of earth.

The definition is courtesy some of the overgrown potatoes (described earlier) having decided, the only way to keep growing is to resign from their current overgrown state.

The rest of the potatoes in their section of the field would ensure their ever loved overgrown representatives would take back their RESIG NATION and keep growing for ever.

The interesting story of the overgrown potatoes

It was a fair day in an age far far ago. A north westerly eastward swirling wind blew from the south across a large field and it was a fairly large field as fields go. In this field grew an innumerable number of potatoes. And how they grew, in all sizes and shapes, some were large and white, some small and white, another some large and dark and another some small and dark, well I could go on, though I will stop here. The field was divided, less by nature and more by design by large pools of water which seeped into the ground, in which the potatoes grew and providing essential nourishment. Yes, there were other things which grew amonst the potatoes, but I will leave them out of this story as this is a story chiefly of the potatoes which by sheer numbers, outnumbered the rest.

Having said it is a story chiefly of potatoes, this is no way implies it is the story of all the potatoes in the field. It really is a story of a section of the field, surrounded three sides by large expanses of water and on one side by a fairly expansive mound of soil. There were other sections of the field, each whose stories would lend an interesting read, but this story of the said section makes the most interesting read of all.

The interesting fact being, this section of the field, Intheair (r-hardly pronounced) as it was known in those days and age had the largest number of potatoes amongst all the other sections put together.

Amongst these pototoes were some potatoes all of five hundred and fifty two in number and the largest of them all. They controlled everything other than the number of potatoes in their section of the field. The surprising fact being these overgrown potatoes had started their growth from a normal size like all the other potatoes, and were chosen by the rest of the potatoes to grow to a size which could be termed as overgrown.

And as all fair stories have a happy ending, so does this fairest of them all.

They remain potatoes till this day and age.

Species

I am not talking about the movie of the same title. Not that there is much to talk about, one rather stared open mouthed at the inanely scripted movie's actors (I'm being politically correct and not breaking my back here.)

Scientists have recently confirmed, what has been rumored around for quite a longish bit of time, namely the discovery of a new species of fauna.

It is closely related to a species chiefly found in Australia, though only in the way the name is pronounced. The same scientists confirmed, all other behaviours are distinctly different from the Kangaroo.

"Pray, what are the behaviours of the new species?" asked a young and eager journalist at the hastily convened not so young and eager press conference.

Pat came the answer (no Pat is not the behaviour, oh why digress, let me veer straight to the point).

The species has a certain penchant for crisp pieces of paper, especially those ones imprinted with the images of certain National heroes (the more important the hero, the better). In fact some of the samples of the said species, have displayed a larger penchant for crisp pieces of paper, with the images of certain National heroes of other nations (the more important the hero, the better). They even go to the extent of demanding these from their human visitors.

Oh, I have not divulged the name of this oh so interesting species having such oh so interesting behaviours.

It is called "Bangaru".

A...Z of Political correctness?

Some are well known forms of government, some are from my imagination, all reflect the truth

Anarchy: The state in which, a young one undergoing education is, without a measure
Banana Republic: A state in which M.A.S.H. means the staple diet
Communism: A McCarthyless state
Democracy: A sine wave of hope where hope is never allowed to rise above the axis
Empire: A superpower by any other name (however romantic) would stink the same
Fascism: What happens when everyone is aroused by sadism and masochism
Geniocracy: Government made by geniuses...I am sure you are having a good laugh...
Hierarchy: It gets lonely at the top
Idiocracy: I wonder why they took out the Idio and put in the bureau
J:
Kleptocracy: Government by thieves...They finally found one name which fits all
Localism: As globalisation moves from the advanced world to the third world, localism moves the other way...
Meritrocracy: Government by merit...Exists in dictionaries
Nanny state: Who will govern the governesses / governors?
Oligarchy: Government by the few...~540 to ~1 billion...Just wrap it up in hope and you know what you have...
Plutocracy: Government by the wealthy...what is not mentioned is how unwealthy they were before they formed the government
Q:
Republic: Remember "The sum of all compromises..."
Synarchy: Replace the "Y" with an "I"...sounds the same...conveys the truth...
Technocracy: When you are governed by makers of certain fruits or wall openings...aren't we all in a way...
U:
V:
Welfare state: Whose welfare are we talking of?
Xerocracy: The end of intellectual property...Le Napster est mort...Vive le Napster
Y:
Zerocracy: Alpha to Zeta...the beginning and the end...no one to govern...idealistic...
