All Fools' Day 2024

Quotes:

• Who is the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?  - Obi Wan Kenobi
  

• "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." — William Shakespeare, As You Like It

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon. If you play a trick on someone after this time you are the April Fool. Elsewhere, for example in Ireland or France, the jokes may last all day.

WTF Friday: TANSTAAFL

The first time I saw TANSTAAFL was in the book, THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS by Robert Heinlein. One of the first points in that book is THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH. TANSTAAFL has remained with me ever since. So when GRUBHUB had a deal for free lunches for NYers earlier this week, I was somewhat weary. The office secretary used the code FREELUNCH, took a walk to LENWICH, around the corner from my office, on Third Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets, and came back with free lunch. 

Okay. 

I checked out the app and noticed that places were shutting down services due to overwhelming demand. I quickly placed an order at the same location of LENWICH at 11:18 AM, and was notified that my order was placed and being prepared. At 11:30 AM I got a notification that my sandwich was ready for pick up. I rushed over to find NO ONE in the place had a clue. One girl was was checking "the tablet" when she said my order just arrived and would be prepared immediately. She even waved around a print out that contained my order information. She asked me to wait up front and my order would be ready momentarily. 

I waited. 

And waited.

And waited.

As orders were prepared the girl up front would occasionally call out names, or would put them up on the shelf for pick up. I continued to wait patiently until I realized i was standing in there for 45 minutes. When I went back to the girl up front she acted all frazzled again, saying she had no such order and I should ask the girl in the back. 

I did so.

She said that my order was CANCELED, sorry. 

Well FUCK! You told me to wait up front, then cancel my order and don't even bother telling me about it? Let me wait 45 minutes to walk out empty handed? 

When I got back to the office I had an email apology that my order couldn't be fulfilled sent at 11:38 AM. SO I was there for almost ten minutes when they canceled my order and didn't see fit to inform me. I previously hated this place because they were slow, but this was just the worst customer service I have experienced in a while. 

So they proved to me that, truly, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Rock out with your Jello out!

 

 

My first band assembled during the turbulent early to mid 80s. The country was trying to dig itself out of the hole of despair caused by the Vietnam War, Jimmy Carter, the Cold War, and pretty much EVERYTHING that happened during the 70s. During that time punk rock emerged as an answer to the listless masses dancing to disco and having no opinion about what was going on in the world. So my band was a rock / punk band. One of the bands I personally looked up to was The Dead Kennedys. Out of California and led by Jello Biafra, they managed to put out several albums of socially aware records that really epitomized the punk rock movement. Too many bands felt that all they had to do was sing gruffly, and keep the music relatively simple, just fast, and that made it "punk." That's why punk died. You hear a set of power chords and fast beat and the singer is STILL whining about a girl? No. Sorry. Not punk. Jello never lost sight of his goal, to get his opinions out there to share with the masses who were interested in what he had to say. Unfortunately his uninformed opinions are largely pro-socialism. Calls the right fascism but supports an iron-fisted tyrannical system. Makes sense. This week Jello Biafra turned 62. Fuck you and your berfday, old commie bastard!

Holiday in Cambodia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KTsXHXMkJA

So you been to school

For a year or two

And you know you've seen it all

In daddy's car

Thinkin' you'll go far

Back east your type don't crawl

Play ethnicky jazz

To parade your snazz

On your five grand stereo

Braggin' that you know

How the niggers feel cold

And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear

Right guard will not help you here

Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia

It's tough, kid, but its life

It's a holiday in Cambodia

Don't forget to pack a wife

You're a star-belly sneech

You suck like a leach

You want everyone to act like you

Kiss ass while you bitch

So you can get rich

But your boss gets richer off you

Well you'll work harder

With a gun in your back

For a bowl of rice a day

Slave for soldiers

'Till you starve

Then your head is skewered on a stake

Now you can go where people are one

Now you can go where they get things done

What you need, my son.

Is a holiday in Cambodia

Where people dress in black

A holiday in Cambodia

Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, etc.

And it's a holiday in Cambodia

Where you'll do what you're told

A holiday in Cambodia

Where the slums got so much soul
