Every so often some synapse decides to zap my brain and I think about the “black folk ain’t having no Bernie” tweet.

Was it a tweet? I can’t remember anymore. But I still remember that line. Just at random. Apropos of nothing. Not even in a “hey remember that?” sorta way. Instead it just fires off and disappears almost as quickly as it appeared.

How about y’all?

    That one tweet about the woman getting mad because Bernie Sanders gets slightly animated when talking about M4A.

    She equates him yelling to being the same as her dad throwing a pot roast against the wall and how her family didn’t have dinner that night

    Back in the stone ages, I went to see Rocky Horror Picture Show. “Don’t throw stuff at the screen,” they always say, “If you break it, you buy it, and how the fuck will you get that giant-ass screen home? You’ll have to roll it up and shove it up your ass.” Right then, this enormous fucking cracker with a really high voice gets up and starts running around the theater, yelling “shove it up my ass! Shove it up my ass!” And that enormous fucking cracker had been running around the inside of my head, yelling “shove it up my ass!” ever since.

    Shove it up your ass, homie. Shove it up your ass, indeed.

    this one time a long time ago I had taken shrooms, and at one point in the night I was outside with my friend and I was pacing around really quickly ranting about something, and my friend says something like “bro you’re too much right now, I need to sit down, do you want to take a seat with me?” and I put my face right up against his like as close as I could get without touching, and I just go “If we slow down, we die.”

    “If we slow down we die” has been randomly popping into my head for over a decade.

    I remember talking to my lib friends about economics and how if we are going to bail out the banks we should give the money to the people first so it hits the economy twice. We were sitting around trying to figure out why they didn’t do it like that. We never could. I remember that feeling and us all sitting around confused.

    There was this PSA film that I was shown in school when I was a little one. I can’t remember what it was about, only something that happened close to the end.

    These two women are arguing in the middle of a street with your typical PSA quality acting, and then one of them swings for the other. I guess she was just supposed to be knocked over by the punch but instead she does a 360 degree spin and spreads her arms out so she falls in the middle of the road, posed like Jesus on a crucifix. To this day I have to bite my tongue around Catholics 'cos I see the little Jesus (jesuses? jesi? Jeese? Jesopods?) on their necklaces and get flashbacks to that over-acted punch on start to lose it.

    When I was in high school I did a competition called Envirothon. As a team, you go to stations and identify birds and measure trees and answer questions about ecology. Anyway, one year we made states, and one of the stations was “listen to this guy give a presentation on how awesome fracking is.” Not part of the competition, not related in any way to what we were doing. At the time I was like, “that was odd.” But now it comes up every now and again and I have the same “Wait, what the hell was that guy doing there?” reaction.
