Q. While Washington fiddles around, millions of people can't afford to go see a doctor. What's your solution to the healthcare crisis? -- Sick and tired in the Tetons
BPA. Good question. I have no idea. I can tell you that out here in the heartland, nobody's immune to bad awful sickness and many hard-working folks can't afford insurance. Sad thing. Especially for folks suffering from life-altering diseases they don't even know they have.
One that's spread, invisible like, from the City to even off-the-grid places is a nasty mental disorder I call Mad Cow Men Disease. Caused by extreme exposure to media, MCMD re-configures the brain to create the false sense that one is a marketing genius.
Nowadays, just about everybody thinks they come up with the next big idea and how to advertise it. You know what I'm talking about. How else would anybody in their right mind come up with the Slanket?
The disease doesn't care who you are or where you live. Proof: Farmer Bob's DIY hay selling signs on County Road 63. He's so far gone, he doesn't realize he ripped off the Got Milk campaign. Thinks it was all his idea. Doesn't even know he needs medical help, so he'll never seek it. If we can spread more diseases folks don't know they have, maybe that'd solve the healthcare crisis.
Hey Phil!
ReplyDeleteI'm officially following your blog...I'm certainly looking forward to following your rants and streams of consciousness / breakthrough revelatory epiphanies on life.
I'm excited to see Benjamin the Bay for his birthday this month. We're going to make a journey to Santa Cruz to meet up with Uncle Vic...like the good old days!
Peace!

P.S. The buffalo helmet is EPIC.
ReplyDeleteJuzzle...thank you for your support. The buffalo horns will point skyward during next lightening storm in honor of the falcon. I have no idea what that means but I hope you feel it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting "Slanket" comment. As a matter of fact, one of the two brothers who started/invented/farted/whatever "Slanket" used to work for me as a software developer. He couldn't believe what people would fall for in software so they tried "Slanket"! There's a sucker born every minute!
ReplyDeleteHey Pal, you've gone insane. All the fresh air has finally pushed your over the top. Bruce
ReplyDeleteWow. So basically, in mid-century car terms, the snuggie is the chevy, the slanket is the oldsmobuick, the fleece snuggler is the pontiac, and the nuddle blanket is the cadillac. Well, given the lower prices online for the slanket I think we're going to go that way, but man, if there weren't a recession on, I'd go for that nuddle blanket. Oh and davcoo -- yeah we're thinking of these for family presents too.
ReplyDeleteWell at least we have that covered...
Snuggie is a product that you want, but you mock. Your denial that you really do want a Snuggie is just one of the things keeping you from being honest with yourself and successful in your life. In your heart of hearts, you know that the Snuggie is more than a blanket, it's more than a robe turned back-wards without belt loops. A Snuggie is more than the happiness that you desire deep down in that little child that you hide from the world.
Snuggie is the love you so rightly deserve and the love that has been denied to you.
Admit that you watch the Snuggie infocommercial in wonder and with awe. It's a blanket; Snuggie keeps you warm. It has arms; Snuggie lets you do pleasurable things. Need to change the channel? Need to stroke your cat? The Snuggie lets you do these things, and all for the unbelievably low price of just $19.95 for two Snuggies (plus shipping and handling).
And look at the people in the commercial. They are happy. And they haven't denied themselves Snuggie, have they?
Enjoy, you will laugh for hours!

Oh sorry, hey Buffalo Phil...I had a kangaroo land on my doorstep and it's been raining for 3 weeks. Then the sun came out...Has anyone seen my boat?
Googling slanket versus snuggie reveals that the question has been asked, but no one has come up with a definitive answer.
