RECYCLE SUNDAY, "YOU HAD TO BE THERE" (P)

I was listening to Jimmy's album "You had to be there" (though on CD, the original was a double vinyl album, just how do kids clean their pot these days without double albums, but I digress) recorded live and he was introducing a song and saying that they hadn't done this one in a while, but he had been listening to some of his older albums and to quote Jimmy, we had some really good sh*t on those old albums...

Needless to say, it started me thinking, over the years we've had some posts that bear re- posting... So I went back and looked at some and I'm going to recycle / re-post a few and see if you enjoy them the second time around...



WHO MOVED MY GOVERNMENT CHEESE (P)


This is my adaptation of the #1 Best Selling book "Who Moved My Cheeses?" by Spencer Johnson, M.D....















In my adaptation, cheese is an obvious metaphor for entitlement programs... The story revolves around two Marxist, "Barack" and "Nancy" and two Kool-Aide Drinkers, "Lazy" and "No Count"...
Barack is good at "sniffing out or creating cheese" and Nancy is good at "implementing the cheese"... Lazy prefers to cut the cheese, while No Count prefers to use the word "change" when referring to his cheese...

One day Barack, Nancy, Lazy and No Count, find a huge mound of cheese... Lazy and No Count decide that this mound of cheese is so large they never have to think about finding more... They get comfortable and settle down, and are caught by surprise when one day their cheese is gone... Barack and Nancy are ready for this and get back to creating more cheese as they know that this is the only way to keep Lazy and No Count enslaved because cheese is all they know... Lazy and No Count feel that this is wrong, for surely they are worthy of cheese... Lazy screams "It's not fair" insisting that someone put his cheese back... No Count finally decides to venture out to look for cheese, perhaps Barack and Nancy have found their cheese...

Barack and Nancy felt that the only way to make sure that Lazy, No Count and the rest of the Kool-Aide Drinkers always have cheese is to steel from those who refused the "Government Cheese" choosing to work hard, buy cows and make their own "Private Cheese"... There plan was to have the "Government" take over the "Private" cheese makers so they could redistribute the cheese... That way everyone had the same amount of cheese, as only the "Government" could effectively insure that the cheese was shared by all, Kool-Aide Drinkers and Hard Workers alike...

What Barack and Nancy didn't count on was the resolve of the Hard Workers... Soon the Hard Workers joined together and formed the "Wine Party" as they needed to show Barack, Nancy, Lazy, No Count and the rest of the Kool-Aide Drinkers that their "Cheese" was theirs and that if they could work for their "Cheese", the rest of the cheese eaters could as well...

The End
The moral to the story... "Don't whine when someone moves your "Government Cheese"
