Mad Magazine - a Major Part of Baby Boomer Childhoods! Don Martin Cartoons, Spy vs Spy... and The Satire of Classic Poetry and Tales... Like: Jabber-Whacky

I saw Plans for building a TV Commercial Silencer in Mad... I took Apart my Parent's TV and Installed a Switch on a Long Wire... Without Breaking the TV or Getting Electrocuted... and We Enjoyed Silence During TV Commercials for Years... Nowadays, Every remote has a MUTE Button... But Mad Magazine was Way Ahead of Its Time... With a DIY Plans Cartoon... I've Never Been Able to Find a Copy of those Plans... If you HAVE Them... Email Me: gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com  or Leave a Comment Below!

Classic Poetry Satire!

On Dreaming, After Falling Asleep Watching TV

'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves,
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves
And in a Minute Maid.

"Beware the Station-Break, my son,
The voice that lulls, the ads that vex!
Beware the Doctors Claim, and shun
That horror called Brand-X!"

He took his Q-Tip'd swab in hand;
Long time the Tension Headache fought--
So Dristan he by a Mercury,
And Bayer-break'd in thought.

And as in Bufferin Gulf he stood
The Station-Break, with Rise of Tame,
Came Wisking through the Pride-hazed wood,
And Creme-Rinsed as it came!

Buy one! Buy two! We're almost through!
The Q-Tip'd Dash went Spic and Span!
He Tide Air-Wick, and with Bisquick
Went Aero-Waxing Ban.

"And hast thou Dreft the Station-Break?
Ajax the Breck, Excedrin boy!
Oh, Fab wash day, Cashmere Bouquet!"
He Handi-Wrapped in Joy.

'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.

The Carnac Stones in France. Long Rows of Giant Standing Rocks. A Mystery Similar to Stonehenge, Easter Island, The Pyramids, Nazca Lines or Crop Circles... No Reason for Them But... There They Are! WHY?

The Carnac Stones in France. Long Rows of Giant Standing Rocks. A Mystery
Perhaps these Long Straight Rows were 
Markers to Show Where a Landing area 
was for UFOs. Go to the End and Set 
Down the Flying Saucer.
Like Airport Runway Lights...

Paris Left Bank Literary Promenade – Tracking The Lost Generation
They changed modern literature. Lost Generation writers like Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, George Orwell, and even William Faulkner flocked to Paris after World War I, lured by cheap accommodation, free-flowing alcohol, and a booming artistic scene. Let's follow in their footsteps on a Paris promenade to visit the apartments, hotels, restaurants, and bars they frequented and where they helped to create the Left Bank literary scene.

The only Time I Speak of France is When I Hashtag the Start Date of the Revolution: #France1789 

La seule fois où je parle de la France, c'est quand je hashtag la date de début de la révolution : #France1789

 J'écris rarement sur la France... Sauf quand j'admire la Révolution française et la solution guillotine à la guerre des classes... Nous avons un problème de guerre des classes ici aux États-Unis... Les milliardaires achètent des sénateurs, des membres du Congrès et des gouverneurs - et la seule tâche pour les dirigeants "élus", c'est PLUS de réductions d'impôts pour les riches... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I Rarely Write about France... Except when I admire the French Revolution and the Guillotine Solution to Class War... We Have a Class War Problem here in the USA... Billionaires BUY Senators and Congressmen and Governors - and The Only Task for the "Elected" Leaders is MORE Tax Cuts for the Rich... More Federal Subsidies and Fewer IRS Audits... 

Location of Computers that visit my blog - France? Why?



TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!

A Million Trips Later, What was LSD All About? Was it a Recreational Drug? OR Was it More Like a Telephone that Allowed People to Call GOD DIRECTLY?

Was it a Significant Event in The History of The World or as Trivial as a Roller Coaster Ride? We Did Get a Lot of Excellent Rock Music Songs. Is it Even Possible to Buy a "Stairway to Heaven" anymore? 

My Opinion: It Awakened Me to The POSSIBILITY of True Enlightenment. I Realized That There Were WORTHY Goals in Life... and That I Ought To Put Some Effort into...

Creating Art, Writing Music, Writing Fiction and Publishing a Political Opinion Blog... Marching in Anti-War Protest Marches... Campaigning Against Evil Political Candidates... and IN GENERAL... Living a Moral Life... Not Doing Evil... That SOUNDS OBVIOUS But... So Many "Corporate-Corporate" Greed Freaks DID NOT TAKE A TRIP AND DID NOT GRASP THESE SIMPLE CONCEPTS... SAD... 

I Took Jobs That Made a Difference... I Did Work That Made the World a Better Place to Live EVEN THOUGH Doing Evil Paid More Money! For Example: Early in My Career as a Draftsman, I Designed Weapons for the US Air Force... but... After I Got Laid Off, I Chose to Design Mail Sorting Machines for the United States Postal Service... AND WAS MUCH HAPPIER! Doing Evil All Day Every Day is NOT A Great Way To Live...

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. 
CORPORATE GREED FREAKS Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control. 

What about all the recent talk about embracing Death? Will We Be Grateful?

People That Have Had The Psychedelic Experience Are, In General, Nice. It's The "Straights" That Are Destroying the World.

What IF tRUMP Took a LSD Trip and Had the Realization... "Gosh, Maybe I Ought To STOP DOING EVIL!" The Whole World Would Be Grateful... Ya THINK? Well, Since it No Longer Matters What tRUMP Thinks... Substitute The CEO of DOW Chemical... HE'S Pure Evil... 


MEME - Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics - gvan42 Gregory Vanderlaan

What If There Really IS Medicinal Value to Psychedelic Drugs?
Will CRAZYLAWS Prevent Real People From Getting Medicine That Could Benefit Them?

Why NOT Let Doctors Make Decisions About Medicine?

Do Politicians Have ANY CLUE AT ALL ABOUT PSYCHEDELICS?  

Psychedelics Are Interesting... I'm Glad I took LSD, Peyote, DMT, MDMA and Magic Mushrooms... for a Brief Moment I experienced Oneness with the Universe... Enlightenment... Then The Feeling Evaporated... However, Eventually The Psychedelic Experience Became Boring... Predictable... Unworthy... Kinda Like Riding a Roller Coaster... FUN as a Young Person but Not as an Old Person... We would ALL be better off With Legalization... It's ABSURD to Incarcerate People For Psychedelics... The Entire Era of the US Government Behaving Insane Should Stop... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2017/06/legalize-medicinal-psychedelics-let.html
