One Adam 1...See the Man....Reports of someone Monkeying Around!

"Excuse me there is a report of someone monkeying around? Was that you sir?"
'Why are you a cop? You don't look like the fuzz man."
"Fuzz? I will show you Fuzz?"
"Groovy Man. I can dig it. I am too busy singing too put anybody down."

Lol. How about that whole segment that prefers: Peace, diplomatic maturity, shared prosperity, better opportunities, a clean environment, respect for science over demagogic dogmatism, etc., etc., etc.? Lololol. I guess I'm supposed to believe the Republic Party is just missing a well-deserved place for them as well! Ha.

Thanks to Carol and the rest for bringing out the true "colors" of ugly nativism. I suppose the backlash from the dirty environment-promoting, science-bashing, planet-hating, shoot-'em-up mass homicide-celebrating, war-mongering, personal liberty denying, immigrant-disrespecting, gay rights-slashing "regular" Republican crowd will arrive shortly.

Holy Sacred Cow, chickelit!

El Pollo barely scratches the surface with this one, yet appears to have found something substantially chir-bitable in the dung pile.

I picture him something like this, passing off camel straights under the guise of wisdom from a dweeby medical authority.

I can only imagine what it felt like to get through that spiel! Without laughing no less. Somewhat satisfying would be my guess. The didactic, superior voice is perfect.

@MamaM: I thank you for your kind words. You have been a chirbit fan from the get go.

A little inside baseball: I first went looking on YouTube for recordings of Andrew Sullivan to imitate as a voice of Ritmo because (1) I had threatened to do so, and (2) because Ritmo and Sullivan share such a common philosophy which is to say a contempt for Middle America. Their philosophies are entwined in my mind. But as I listened, I heard the phony American accent which Sullivan affects. I chose Churchill instead to voice Ritmo purely as a foil to contrast. I actually have a deep respect for Churchill as the true British Conservative. Plus I could already do the Churchill voice.

Bruce, Great bit. I listened to some others also. You may have found your perfect forum.

Michael Haz said...

The old man's funeral was yesterday, on a beautifully clear, sunny morning.

The service was small - most of his friends already died, and our family is smallish. We made it all about optimism, hope, happiness and cheer; the traits he held all his life.

His last month was like falling off a cliff as we moved him from home to assisted living to nursing home to hospice all in four weeks time. We could barely keep up. It's calm now, and his next move in two weeks will be to the cemetery in a small town in central Wisconsin where he was born. He'll be buried near his parents, brothers, sister an other relatives.

His last words were spoken to a nurse who jostled him while adjusting the sheets on his bed, causing him a moment of pain. While she was apologizing over and over, he looked up at her, smiled, and said "Don't worry doll, everything will be okay." It's become our family mantra.

That's tough, Haz. I've been there. But you brought your father alive here through your descriptions and thank you for that.

God Bless you and your family

M. Haz - you had earlier written that your father's last lesson would be about how to die. He was as good in that role as anyone could be.

Remarkable man, for sure. His words are very similar to words spoken to me over 40 years ago by an accomplished, intelligent, successful man, and it is always good to have that sentiment reaffirmed.

Thanks for sharing what I know had to be, at times, a difficult journey through your father's last months. May he rest in peace.

Yes, the essence of who he was and what he valued came through clearly in the stories told. I'm thankful for them, as they invited laughter, reflection and shared awareness. It is no small feat to hold on to optimism and hope; hearing that he was able to do so is encouraging and heartening.

I was saddened to hear of his death and your loss, Michael Haz. May Grace and Peace be with you and your family in the days and weeks ahead.
