Is that how you remember it? — a statement designed to call into question the projected memories of a person waxing poetic about the past. It’s another way of saying: HELL NAW!!!!!!!! It wasn’t that way at all!!!!!! The ethos of “Is that how you remember it?” Is best captured by The Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald on lead vocals What a Fool Believes — which was an awesome song.
And yes! That’s how I remember it!
Lover #1 when we were together we were both happy. No matter where we went out to eat, it seemed as though they were always playing our song. I never knew love before I met you!
Lover #2 Is that how you remember it?
Rich and successful person: The “come up” is the best part. Maaaaaaaaaaaan! I think I was happier when I was in the struggle and every day was a scramble. At least I knew who I was and who to trust.
Most loyal old true friend: Is that how you remember it?
The Law of the Lemon — The first law and the first proof of the existence of sympathetic magic. This is an especially powerful illustration to use on a person who claims that magic doesn’t exist; that free will can overcome anything, and that magic will not work on them.
Have that person engage all five senses in the visualization of a lemon imagining every quality a lemon possesses. Infuse this memory with pleasant and unpleasant experiences that they associate with lemons. When the visualization becomes firm tell them to bite the lemon. At this point most people will experience a bitter taste in their mouth and they will salivate even though no actual lemon is there.
If the person does not salivate, you have unmasked a more powerful magician than you are.
Mess around and find out.
The first proof of sympathetic magic is The Law of the Lemon: if you engage the five senses in the visualization of a lemon and deeply imagine it’s smell, color, texture, and the sound of your hand sliding over the lemon you will salivate and experience a bitter taste in your mouth if I tell you to bite into the lemon once the visualization is well established.
Mess around and find out.
If you understand this law well, you can even curse someone’s balls and make their babies crosseyed.
“You’re just scum!” — Nikki Haley’s succinct description of Vivek Ramaswami that caused him to have a gas face in the middle of the MSNBC televised debate on 11/08/2023. It was an Indian on Indian shoot out and we are certain that Vivek shot first.
He missed.
And like Han Solo in the Star Wars retcon, Nikki moved her head drew her blaster and nailed “Tandoori Greedo”.
If you come at the queen; then you better not miss! And she did that shite wearing the five inch heal that he criticized; and she looked good doing it, too.
Ramaswami: Your daughter’s on Tic Tock; get your own house in order.
Haley: Keep my daughter out of your mouth; “You’re just scum!”
wokeacracy — Credit for the coinage of the word is given to Governor Ron DeSantis who has proclaimed his state Florida to be where “Woke” goes to die.
Used positively “wokeacracy “ would be: a society of awakened individuals who organized and used the political system in a fair way to gain power.
Used negatively the word is currently used as both a dog whistle and a battle cry calling for the disenfranchisement of groups seen as a threat to the current hegemony.
Originally, “Stay Woke” was a hook in a the Childish Gambino song Redbone — a song written as a satire on the Trump presidency veiled by lyrics with sexual overtones.
Like most acerbic satire, the ideas the phrase “stay woke” pointed to were so powerful that the phrase took on a life of its own. The popular song brought the concept to the surface of popular cultural awareness.
This isn’t the first time this concept has stimulated the imaginations of humankind.
When the Buddha was asked what class of being he was: god, gandharva, celestial dancer or demon he answered that he was none of these.
“I am awake”
Aham jāgṛtaḥ asmi (in Sanskrit)
This was his description of himself.
This of course, can’t be taught in schools because if it were taught; then, it could posssibly lead to Wokeacracy!!!
And we wouldn’t want that.
Would we?
We have to remove critical race theory from our schools; keep women barefoot and pregnant; disenfranchise non-White voters; discourage diversity and inclusion programs; and remove affirmative action programs otherwise America will become a wokeacracy!!!!!!!!!
The articulation of a fantasy; or, the practicing of an act that is waaaaaaaaaaaay to descriptive to have just spontaneously arisen in the mind of the articulator or the performer.
And if you ask them to repeat what they just said or did; they actual can — on demand.
Verbatim.
AND THEY DO NOT HESITATE OR STUTTER!!!!!!!!!!
1) Her:
Do you think people ever make love on the living room floor covered with a large plastic drop cloth; after rubbing each other down with warm sesame oil while listening to a Drake album on infinite repeat?
Him: Wow, babe!!!! That’s waaaaaaaaaaaay overly specific!!!!!!
2) Friend #1
When you go to the gun range what do you use as a target?
Friend #2
Me? I traced an outline from a picture I pirated from Facebook of my ex-wife and her new husband on tracing paper using a thin Sharpie Marker.
Then, I had it enlarged and copied at the print shop on cream colored heavy poster paper — the same color she painted our bedroom when she redecorated in happier times.
Friend#1) Man! THAT’S WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERLY SPECIFIC!!!!!!!
50 shades of nay — the kink of becoming sexually aroused when refused or humiliated.
This kink was introduced to the world by Kevin McCarthy when he left the floor of the house after a historic 11 losses attempting to become the Speaker of the House.
“I feel good”, he said as he left the floor after being publicly humiliated yet again.
“50 shades of nay is my kink; whenever I’m rejected, I orgasm and ejaculate, said Kevin McCarthy explaining the stains on his pants to his political aids.
Rudy Ghouliani — as in WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO THIS MAN? He was America’s Mayor on 9/11.
He went from being one of the most feared prosecutors in American history and the R.I.C.O. Act pioneer; to becoming a Dwight Frye-like Rendield to Donald Trump’s Orange Count Dracula.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
And now on May 16th 2023 he’s accused of selling Pardon Indulgences for the Pope of the MAGA party — along with a little sexual harassment; and, failure to uphold an employment contract by not paying an agreed upon salary to the woman that he sexually harassed.
“For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul”; especially of its just to eat flies and nice big spiders.
Under the influence of Donald “Orange Dracula” Trump, Rudy Giuliani became Rudy Ghouliani — a fly eating; pardon selling thrall enslaved by his spray tanned master.
