Homecoming

 Homecoming weekend in Raider Land and I've never been able to understand what that is all about. Trivial and stupid, isn't it? And what does football have to do with academia? College football just illustrates how seriously defective the quotidian human brain is. Good time to avoid the area around campus, that's for sure. It's one of those stupid, ritual, cultish, tribal things I guess. But you can SMELL the excite-MINTS! The stink of excite-MINTS is in the very air we breathe! Wheeee! Woooo! I'll just take a pass on that. Nice morning! Nice evening last evening, even though temps are above average. That's to be expected. Global warming is real, and human "civilization" is the reason, the cause, of that warming. I have no doubt whatsoever. But on to other topics!

A cursory examination is sufficient to reveal what a shoddy, defective, piece of crap the human body really is. Do NOT talk to me about intelligent design. It's a ticky tacky universe, as far as one can see. 99.999999999% of it, at least, is absolutely lethal to any form of life, and the parts that are hospitable to life are only barely hospitable, and then only for a short time, and always under the threat of sudden annihilation. So feel free to get blind stinking drunk, stuff your face with garbage and enjoy you some of that there football whoop-te-dooo!
