You mean the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? In a bizarre coincidence we later learned that the actual Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland had indeed fvcked a pig, or at least a severed pig's head, while a student -- once again hammering home the point that Nye Bevan's remarks are as relevant today as they were in 1948.

That’d be the Brutish PM rather than the British PM I guess.
 
I am an optimist. We survived a lot of things in the past. The kids I know will fix the current problems and make a different mess for their children to clean up. As long as we don't make like yeast and drown in our own excrement. Then again, we may be creating great cosmic booze to get some intergalactic being buzzed. All is well with the appropriate perspective.

I try mightily to be an optimist but the realist in me is freaked out. I can do without this toxic 'high'.

That happened? How does that ever start to seem like a good idea? It would take some really bad drugs.
 
One of my favorite things ever.

Optimism is how I stay sane. Whether or not it is a fools errand, it is what I got for now.

I wish I could share that - this is the realist in me speaking. As an artist I am a romantic - inherently wanting beauty and good to feel whole/real. At this point the realist is taking charge because the romantic is prone to being crushed by those who see it as weakness.

Well said.

I think about future generations, but selfishly I'm also thinking about the next 30 years on earth. I hope (here's the optimist) that my last days are generally positive. (and I will actively work to be a part of that)

Yes, but also in Alice's solo work. Don't know about others, but I look at the Hollywood Vampires as Alice Cooper with some different (albeit famous in their own right) backing musicians. It sure looks like Alice is BL for them.

I looked at it as an Alice Cooper covers album.

It's only cheating if ya get caught.;)

We have a saying “it’s only a rort if you aren’t in it”

It's 7ender 7riday, don't try to confuse me.
Here's a Fun Fender Foto just for you...

That's my most Gibson sounding Fender along side my most Fender sounding Gibson. Both companies knocked it out of the park with these basses. And both companies promptly discontinued their models.
Fender Modern Player Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde and Gibson 2013 EB5 in vintage sunburst.

Funny that they both drifted that way momentarily. Maybe there is a middle ground

Ok, so what is a rort, and why is it Ok if you're not "in it" ? (I'm a fan of colloquial language/sayings)[/QUOTE]
