A rat

Yeah! I did a big stencil of a rat! The only other living soul who's seen it so far has been my mailman. I used my second-to-last posterboard up making it, so I ripped up some old janky pairs of pants and did it on them instead.

“serious genetic transformations” due to the “biological war”

I got down to biznis after the cheese dropped me off at the
casita this morning. Fueled by music, cold pizza, residual adrenaline from taking a math test, beers and herbal cough drops, I whipped ass and got two larger stencils done for the protest tomorrow morning. The theme is, 'TVA and COAL, SUCKAS'. Limited edition prints are available for $5, plus s&h. Send cheques to my offshore tax haven in the Sechelles.

So, for those of you who just crawled out from under a rock, it's game time in Knoxville this weekend, pitting the largest of the large versus the smallest of the small. Naturally, I'm referring to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) going to bat against burgeoning negative public sentiment. It's literally the little people against one of the most endless wastelands of poppycock legalese. TVA is a vast, soulless legal construction and it has been badly attempting to hide like an 800-lb scuttling cockroach underneath the furniture; it's tried the rug, under the couch, and is currently lurking among the potted plants on the shelf closest the window.

Unfortunately, even cockroaches get lice, ticks, what-have-you, and especially nematodes. The pissed off public is kinda like those nematodes. As the cockroach (TVA in this case) squishes and squashes with seemingly rabies-induced wild abandon over the public land, homes, rivers, and future of the southeast, it consumes and absorbs parasite eggs (in this case, anyone screwed by TVA). The end result is a sick cockroach, given enough time. (see really graphic dissection of a cockroach, complete with internal parasites.)

Eventually, the little buggies will reproduce enough, munching on the internals, and will get to the brain (or numerous nodes of ganglia) of the beast, and it will change its ways. It might fall into the toilet. Or come out when the lights are on and get hit with a newspaper. OR, it could begin to steer it's coal and nuclear-centric obsessions into paths such as energy conservation (most important) and renewable energy.

I personally hope TVA takes over NASA, becoming the Tennessee Valley National Aeronautics and Space Authority (TVNASA), and builds a bunch of solar power satellites. Once they own the entire Earth, they can begin the eugenics programs they always discuss at board meetings.

Fascist Front Group Revealed!

I suggest everyone read, or look at the pictures from the book, "Daydreams & Nightmares" by one Winsor McCay. It's amazing.

Stencils have gotten very little attention lately, grad skool seems to have caught up, and it's been time to fry the bacon, so to speak. There are about ten ideas in the pipe, plotted and ready to go. It's a pity I can't throw everything away and just DO it. If I was capable of knitting together the spare hours I waste, it'd be done. However, i'm only as efficient at time management as I am at utilizing atmospheric oxygen. Which is low, for the typical individual around 7% (oxygen efficiency).
Anyhow, I rebelled against work and inefficient slacking and really got down and did absolutely nothing for a few hours. This produced two small ones tonight to take to the Mountain Justice Spring Break camp this weekend. Mountain top removal strip coal mining blows chunks, and hopefully these two symbols will become the icons of a new revolution that will sweep this nation and I, soverign of the homeless masses and young unattached males of the world (not in that way), will drive a convoy of volvos to overtake the nation's capital in a military coup.


I HEREBY DECREE as SOVERIGN:

1 The turkey is the symbol. Ben Franklin was right.

2 There will be a four-tiered system combining the best aspects of public education and the prison/industrial complex.

3 The motto all must live by will be, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." Voting will be compulsory and there will be strict term limits. Taxes will be collected from deep ocean thermal vents.

4 We will launch a bunch of stuff into space, build solar power satellites, colonize the moon, invent faster-than-light travel, and finally meet GOD at his private beachside resort.

5 Kids will be allowed to be kids, and do dangerous kid-things. Similarly, you we be allowed to thoughtfully endanger your life. Merry-go-rounds shall be reinstalled in playgrounds. Railings shall be reduced by 75% worldwide.

6 We will learn from nature. "Better bent than broken" will be digitally inscribed onto tiny radio transmitters and forcefully inplanted into all teenage humans who the benevolent state determines 'shouldn't' be sterilized. The transmitters will allow all humans to function together as a giant, perpetual radio telescope. This will further the goal of fa ster-than-light t ravel.

7 All time machines shall resemble phone booths.

8 Giant robots with guns for arms will end, once and for all, wars, corruption, and being a dick in traffic.
