Reflections From a Murky Pond

Yes, this is actually McDonald’s Day. 😮 National McDonald’s Day is celebrated on April 15 every year to commemorate the anniversary of the opening of the first McDonald’s franchise in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955.

And hey! In celebration – and to attract more business in these changing times – McDonald’s is, for a limited time, offering the McThreesome. 😆

We as Americans should remember that the colonists did have to register their muskets in every state except for the Quakers’ Pennsylvania. In many of the colonies every man between the ages of 16 – 60 had to prove to their State’s government that they were in But We Should Remember In possession of a suitable military long arm and its associated accoutrements under penalty of law. In others only the head of household was so required.

Yes, we should always remember that, in colonial times, we did not enjoy the freedom to keep arms. We operated under the duty and burden to do so. And, such duty and burden wasn’t for just any firearm. The citizenry of that time were legally mandated to be armed with military grade weaponry.

Then, some of us know this.

Yes, “Barbenheimer” is a term now. It’s a freaking meme, and a quite well done one at that. Indeed, it’s well enough done IMRHO that I’m posting about it – mostly because I find the image above disturbingly compelling.

And, I’m actually pretty sure that there’s some deeper sociological meaning to the Barbenheimer meme’s prevalence and popularity. After all, Barbie in many fundamental ways is the child of Oppenheimer’s work.

Beauty and the Beast seems like it should have ended like this, yet it didn’t because so many people forget that Belle was a White woman… and we all know, thanks to internet memes, that White women will ride into battle naked on the backs of wild beasts. 😆

And yeah, most people also either don’t know or choose to bleach their brains of the fact that Bad Dragon Enterprises, Inc., a company that makes a variety of non-human shaped sex toys, has revenues exceeding $100 million USD. So, this ending seems at least a probable as the one that was shown.

OK. Yeah; I laughed stupidly hard when I saw this. As someone who is not, and has not ever been successfully, monogamous, I find this really funny. The way it suborns the meme of monogamous people cheating on each other hits my humor just right.
