What is Erykah Badu saying in her new music video for her single, “Window Seat“? (Click image to view.)

She’s protesting free speech with her naked booty?

She seems to have a lot to say. And it’s a shaky truth.

One should not “Group Think” this one too much, but it seems evident that Ms. Badu wants us to think about JFK and the reality of social delusion. And her booty.

Thank you, Ms. Badu, for your courage. Now, explain that public booty-shaking session for us, please.

                          

Avalon Tuna Club

Catching is always more fun than just fishing, but fishing at Avalon is special at the Tuna Club of Avalon.

Where rod-n-reel fishing started, and the landmark building that housed these wealthy sportsfishers.

                          

Forget about all that freeway traffic — there ‘s a new way to commute to your job. No more waiting in long lines for airline flights. Wanna take that Tahitian vacation but don’t have time for a cross-Pacific flight? Well, fret no more. We’ve got a new way to travel!

Scientists at the Helsinki Universita have discovered a method of deconstructing and reconstructing atom structures and their first tests have proven their theories.

In a February 25th experiment, their tests were able to teleport a fully grown, healthy male student from the bio-physics lab to a temporary facility set up on the opposite end of the campus.

When interviewed, the mysterious Professor of Physics, Dante Inflagrato, said, “We have engaged with a new phase of internet hyper-transfer protocols. By unraveling the DNA strand and re-assembling the atomized structures, the student disappeared and re-appeared on a place not too far away.”

When asked about any problems with the particle- or atom re-assimilator, Dr. Inflagrato said, “The student did experience some period of vertigo-induced nausea and a profound urge to fly, but we’ve been able to calm his systems and functions.” The male student — a volunteer in the pay-for-school work-study program — has not been made available for interviews.

Professor Inflagrato is also in need of volunteers for his time-travel machine and an experiment in invisibility.

On a side note, APRIL FOOL’S!!!

What causes us to search for a New World?

A new route to the Far East spice trade? Nah.

Desire to spread the word of God, like the Dominican and Jesuit missionaries of the 18th Century? Not likely.

Escape from nuclear Armageddon or biological malaise? Maybe.

Discovery of raw materials and new water sources? More than likely.

The recent opening of the billion-dollar CityCenter in Las Vegas is a boastful nod to New World capitalism and its achievements, with the tagline: “Capital of the New World.”

What gives? Films like The Road, Armageddon, Cloverfield, and WALL-E portend the destruction of Earth.

Does Hollywood know something we don’t? One thing for certain, James Cameron won’t be directing my escape ship. And it’ll probably be pretty obvious we’re “not in Kansas anymore.”

Remember that song from the 70s, Children of the Sun?

“‘People of the earth can you hear me?’
came a voice from the sky on that magical night.
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets,
they traveled to the world on a silvery light…”

In 3-D, of course.

                          

Why does Charlie Brown pick the ugliest, scrawniest tree in the lot?

What does he imagine this sad tree will give him?

Well, he’s asking for something simple — the true meaning of Christmas.

According to the original two-buck Chuck, Charles Schultz‘s, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965):

[first lines of story]
Charlie Brown: [Charlie Brown and Linus stop at a wall on their trip to the pond for ice skating] I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.
[begins to walk with Linus again]
I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess. I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards and decorating trees and all that, but I’m still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.

Linus Van Pelt: Charlie Brown, you’re the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy’s right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie Browniest.

What is the true meaning of Christmas?

Well, Linus defines the literal Christmas with his recounting of the Three Kings and Baby in a Manger story of Jesus Christ‘s birth.

But, more to the figurative meaning of Christmas, Linus offers this idea regarding Charlie Brown’s little tree:

Linus Van Pelt: I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

Can’t buy that at a Christmas sale.
