Supercaliconsumptionisticexpialidocious!

I was late getting out to the local pub district on Halloween and missed most of the annual freak show of normal people dressing up to resemble one of their funny or grotesque alter egos, or perhaps it’s the other way around for some of them.

For instance, it was reported to me that there was a hideous evil looking clown lady that was totally freaked out, and foaming at the mouth, upon being approached by Son of Snarp who was dressed up as a priest!

Hmm… maybe she really was a hideous looking clown lady trying to blend in with the Halloween crowd so no one would take notice! I wonder just how many foul creatures masquerading as humans come out of the shadows to prey on us unsuspecting humans, and is it just on Halloween?

I myself decided to dress up to look a lot like one of my alter egos, a normal human, and nobody could tell! Damn… it took a lot of effort to dress up as a normal human; I was a little disappointed.

I did get to annoy a few people with this neat vibrating pen I found in the store though. I was looking for one of those hand buzzers you wind up then offer to shake someone’s hand and wait for the look of disgust on their faces after they just about pee’d their pants, but I couldn’t find one.

Well Halloween is over once again and now we move on to the next scary holiday where again hideous foul creatures will slither out of the shadows masquerading as humans, foaming at the mouth, spewing their garbage in the laps of all the naive unsuspecting real humans… November Voting Day!

But once voted into office rest assured they too will return to lurking in the shadows, salivating over the remains of human dignity they that just devoured and we will all wonder if they too really exist!

Wow that sounded pretty good, I should become a writer!

Well let’s move on before this turns into a full blown rant on politicians. The last time I got on that soap box it took two months of articles to get me off the subject.

We are all consumptionistic by nature, we consume things, it’s what we do and we’re very good at it. Well at least we used to be good at it, back when we had the means to acquire things to consume. We consume to survive now instead of to thrive and that’s a real shame, we deserve better.

And what is it going to be like this year on Meleagrisgallopavo Day? How many tables will be without a Meleagrisgallopavo this year? If you find you can afford an extra Meleagrisgallopavo please be sure to get one for those less fortunate.

Or just start planing on giving someone special a Meleagrisgallopavo for Christmas this year; they will love you for it!

So what is the answer to our present economic situation? Well in my opinion, since we’ve been thrust into this new era of scarcity we need a Mary Poppins to come floating down on her magic umbrella and sing us a pretty little song to get our hopes back up with a title like:

“Superconsumptionisticexpialidocious!”

Go ahead try to sing THAT just two times! Heh-heh!
