Yuk Yuk
I had probably the best gig I've had thus far in Vancouver tonight. But, due to the audience laughing and blessing me with three or four applause breaks, I overran by a minute. Which meant that, despite cranking the comedy dial from five to eleven, the promoter still didn't say 'jolly good show' afterward! Probably because Canadians don't say 'jolly good show', but it was a jolly good show!
An old and dear friend of mine once called me an undiagnosed Aspie. At the time, this offended me somewhat (especially as my mother thought it explained a few things) but, on reflection, that diagnosis is merely a handy catch-all for all non-conformist thought. So it can be taken as a compliment.
We live in an age when Big Pharma wields unprecedented power. And they will use that power to 'syndromise' (my word) what it is to be human. A child who cannot pay attention in class does not have ADHD - they are simply a child who has been forced to sit in a classroom on a sunny day, and finds maths boring when compared to the squirrel cavorting outside the window! Never mind, pump them with Ritalin! We used to be 'manic-depressive', which was also previously referred to as 'having an "artistic" temperament', or 'being a stroppy bastard', but no, it's now a 'bi-polar disorder'. Listen you totalitarian drug-pushing fuckheads - bi-polar is normal. That's the nature of polarity. You swing between two poles. Sometimes you're up, and sometimes you're down. The real disorder would be 'uni-polar' - some cunt who's happy all the time. (Doubtless due to Ritalin or Xanax.)
I intend to organise a "Smoker's Pride" march in Vancouver. We will hijack Davie Street and wear t-shirts proclaiming ourselves 'de-normalized'. Also on the table is bringing a class-action lawsuit against ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) for inciting hatred against an easily-identifiable minority. Without wishing any disrespect to the victims of the holocaust, smokers are the new Jews.
Except of course that we're apparently gassing ourselves. There is a very good reason why Germany is the one country in Europe that has vociferously resisted a smoker-ban. Our delightful Teutonic friends can remember the last fucker who tried to pull this bullshit.
Banning smoking in pubs is like banning biscuits in a tea-room. Or ice cream in the cinema. And the reason there is this worldwide putsch is because the mini-Mengeles at Pfizers and GlaxoSmithKlineMegaCorpOne don't like you self-medicating. You are their livestock. Take your Xanax and be a good little filing clerk. If you're not happy with your lot, you're clearly on drugs and we have every right to check your precious bodily fluids. All your piss is belong to us.
The slaves shall serve. Love is the law. Love under will.
