l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...

La prise de la Bastille...  La Révolution!  LA GUILLOTINE!  A great day to celebrate... hein?  Vous pensez ça, vraiment... les Français?   VRAIMENT?!? NOT!  Certainly not when one remembers  what truly transpired on that day... And, when you truly think about it,  what was obtained that day?  Liberté? POUR QUI - POUR QUOI?  Égalité? HA! PAS DU TOUT!  FRATERNITÉ?!?  Don't make me laugh!!!  Maudits Français - hypocrites!!  Tous des têtes de Macrons - va!  Forget your old adage/maxime/slogan... GO WITH  THIS BLOODY ONE INSTEAD:

... I mean, REALLY?  Everything under the sun,  everyone and their most distant cousin;    ALL seem to have "their day" set in stone  --- i.e. on the social calendar, these days...  Haven't we gone too far now... Hmm?  For the record -and right off the bat-  the only "goths" that we will ever acknowledge  in these luminous parts here are  the Visigoths  and the Ostrogoths   --- capisce?  (This in spite of what they did to ROMA!  A barbaric twist on Veni, Vedi... Vinci, eh?  Well - we forgive... but we don't forget!  Don Luciano will *never* forget...!!!  But... Hmm... that is another story.)  Modern Goths are...  just not the same thing at all.  Whereas the Ostrogoth was rough and tough  (to the point of fighting off its brother barbarians!)   the Metrogoth (my invention - adore it) is weak.  Extremely weak, actual...

... well... *I* am having issues  with the amounts of  SPAM CRAP  that I get in my Gmail!  Very poorly written spam crap,  I might add...!!! It's like the spammers  are telling me:  " you're just like  the rest of the pack -  you don't deserve  that we put any time  and genuine effort  trying to goad you  into clicking  on that link ...! " DAMNED  SPAMMERS! I shall deal with ya now... 

... said Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman?  Okay - we're getting carried away here...!  But how not to get Dr. Quinn involved  -today, of all days-  WORLD CHILDREN'S DAY  (and everybody knows  that the good doctor Quinn  was the most fervent defender  of children's rights  one could ever hope to find  on any TV screen -  in any work of fiction - ever!) And we can bet that she would feel  outraged... by this:  Children's Day 2017 - The Google Doodle A great Google Doodle, sure -  but those GIFs though...?!?  ON THIS DAY???

There it is again - the whole debate... who is BETTER? Nobody! That's who... what... where, when and how! But do people listen to the truth of this statement? Do they grasp the futility of all this hogwashy nonsense; for to waste time discussing, debating & pondering who is better than whom leads absolutely NOWHERE! Do they understand that? Do they GET IT? No!  Hence... here we go! One would be lying if one did not admit that this sort of thing gives us the opportunity to ask OTHER QUESTIONS here - more important, deep and profound questions regarding... tastes, preferences and hairstyles! Yes, hairstyles! Why not? Those are important topics... Rrrrright? Those are things that matter to us EVERY SINGLE DAMN DAY OF OUR LIVES! And those are things that make us go ''hmm'' - well, some of us anyway! As for the rest... nah - let's not go there! First things first though - let us submit for your assessment THE EVIDENCE: Step into the world of "Marv...

The Fab Four or The Four Horsemen? In this context of pure ''what if'' or rather  ''if this happened... what then''  sort of psychotronic purée...  We have got to break it down here,  one by one  (or, rather, two by two - eh?)  in order to possibly make any sense of it... George Harrison versus Arn Anderson  John Lennon versus Ric Flair  Paul McCartney versus J.J. Dillon  Ringo Starr versus Tully Blanchard  With the Three Stooges (who were, also, four!)  and the 4 Marx Brothers  looking on... from up there, realistically!?  Suspension of disbelief is truly extended to infinity  with these sort of things...!  Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan  could show up too - under these parameters!!!  But that's another story...  For other blogs - or fan fiction, perhaps?  Wooooo!

We recently posted about a great many anniversaries of note  that you must take note of - and celebrate,  whether you intended to or not  as 2016 ended and led into 2017... That was on another blog... (HA. You probably were clueless about half of them;  that's why Newsweek makes them lists, y'know!  And *we* blog about it, too!  We complement each other -  awakening the masses!  That's you, duh!) ANYWAY...  It occurred to us, however,  a mere 24-to-48 hours later,  that further awakening  was maybe needed...  As in ''WARNING:  DON'T CELEBRATE THESE ONES,  WILL ROBINSON!'' Be a good Daggit now and... OBEY!  *LOL* So, here is our short list of those  terrible dates on the calendar  that you ought to simply  IGNORE... com muito desprezo!  You better, anyway... This time, it's Rolling Stone that provides  all th...
