Pharmicists Due to colds and wintertime exhaustion the post that was to have occupied this space has been cancelled. But so that you do not feel cheated I will leave you with a short dialog  based partly on an actual converstation between me and one of my nephews. "Uncle Paul what does that symbol mean? " "What symbol is that?" "You know the one: the 'A' with the circle around it." "Oh yes that one stands for anarchy." "Ah. I see. So in that picture why was that singer you like lying on that metal box with that symbol on it?" "Ted Leo you mean?  I suppose he was just trying to demonstrate that he was down with the effusive enthusiasms of those graffiti artists who would paint such symbols on metal traffic light control boxes. Does that explain it if for you?" "Kinda. Just one more thing though. What does anarchy mean?" "Anarchy Well, I'll describe this way. Anarchy is like going to a dinner theater and finding it's comedy night and seeing there are five stages. Suddenly at the same moment, Louis C-K, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Andy Kauffman, and Lenny Bruce all come out and step up to their respective mikes. Then looking around and seeing the rest of the audience is made up of nothing but Louis C-K, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Andy Kauffman and Lenny Bruces." I know what some of you are thinking at this point: That's 'cacophony' you are thinking of there not anarchy. No, with talk show hosts and politicians you would get cacophony. With comedians you get anarchy. 11:32:01 PM    comment [];trackback [];
