Grilling is a thing
I don't think
I'll be doing
on this patriotic holiday.
Murican Triumphalism
Unh unh
The 33,000+ acres
("achers", as the faux
indigenes,
proprietors,
preliterate kings and queens
of the rootless disposable
West, beginning to feel the
climate
breakdown
pain, call 'em)
incinerated
so swiftly
in the Yolo fire
whirlwind
last weekend, were home
to so many critters
who did not get to go home
after the drifter
dude who was grilling
set half nocal all
up in smoke
but who cares about critters
x cept when grilling
em. Fire pit, patriotic murican
institution.
Ah most odious
and noisome
of all th'annoying
Murican
pretend holidays!
Ok now though
let's think positive thoughts
and get back to grilling.
A lot of people like burnt
A lot of people like rare
A lot of people like almost raw
a lot of people like feeling that juice
dribbling down their face
and slurping it off
with their tongues
said the guy on foxports.
Oh and then he forgot
neglected
oh why did he leave that fire
pit uncovered
when all he had to do was lay
that big ol' metal grate
over it
but we know
grillers b rill-men
rill-men
come strapt w firestarter
inna squirt can
squirt w controlled
abandon
prefer to brave the flames
naked handed
ball-capped
abhor oven mitts
believe it
rill-men
eschew asbestos lined gloves
never so weak
as to resort to napkin
whether paper
or cloth
wipe great animal viscera
staind paws on fake chef
aprons energetically
untidily
laugh like bears if bears could laugh ha ha ha
laugh at bears ha ha hmwaoooah!
hate to submit to grates
'n other safety features
grates
make rill-men feel oddly
unmanly
feel less than rugged
butt hurt
and like Miley might not be
coming over later
w her baby ho posse
so cray
to jump tramp
oline 'n drop mentos
in diet coke
or pepsi
and make it fizzzz up
'n explode
Espuma en la boca
in her cutoffs
on the back of a pickup truck
with a flat
mounted .50, long
barrel, aircooled, full
360 muzzle
rotation, swivel
action, three quarter
inch armor
spring recoil buffer, steel
bolted 6' x 4'
home welded
shield plate.

Diet Coke and Mentos. A Diet Coke and Mentos eruption (or Diet Coke and Mentos geyser) is a reaction between carbonated beverage and Mentos candies that causes the beverage to spray out of its container. The numerous small pores on the candy's surface catalyze the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas from the soda, resulting in the rapid expulsion of copious quantities of foam. Although any carbonated beverage will produce a similar effect, the reaction was popularized using Diet Coke for seemingly producing the best results: photo by Matthew Woitunski, 26 October 2012

Miley Cyrus: Party in the USA (2010)
Weird Al Yankovic: Party in the CIA (2011)
Roky Erickson: Creature with the Atom Brain (live acoustic) (!!) 1980
Roky Erickson: Night of the Vampire (live acoustic) (!!) 1984
This is the most tender, gentle, sweet and loving song about the world of vampires you will ever hear. Plus Roky means and owns every word and intonation. Roky is the Anti Miley. Genius.
I vote for "rill-men" to enter the US linguistic universe.
I vote for free novichok on hot dogs at comey's barbeque, and no upchucking.
Novichok all round, I say.
What wrong goddess will step out from that filthy foam?
What's this we're hearing now on the down-low about Th'Emp "slated" to appear under cover of Imperial Security and Fleets of Large Black Insufficiently Anonymous Looking Armoured Vehicles @Amesbury Novichok Festival, weekend after next, possibly in company w Special Ambassador Sans Portfolio Nigel Disparage, following the special-relationhip display of ceremonial bio-salutes @Porton Down, all guests to be kitted out in the full glittering Evening Hazmat attire reserved for Very Special Occasions??
Ah the foam that may then flow from th'Ever So Important Unsealed Lips!
Drumpf will ne'er become aware it wasn't Epsom, and who would have the temerity to so inform him? He'll naturally be rocking the White Tie and Golf Attire. And he'll have packed a panoply of those MAGA ballcaps, in all sizes from Gargantuan to merely Far Too Large, on the wardrobe consultant's helpful hint - "Mister Emp Your Highness Sir, these official MAGA caps are so sturdy and multiply useful, you can smash them to bits with a smallish tactical nuclear weapons and then send in an Engineering team to repurpose them into tiny crimson simulacra of those large sun hats, the kind Tessie n her peeps like to have as substitute thin-stemmed-drink-umbrellas, on race days."
Almost worth attempting to live so long, simply to be able to say, in my Last days, It Happened, and I Didn't Know.
We'll doubtless get the Full Report from Piers Morgan however. (Or is it Sir Piers yet we wonder?)
