I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold


That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

Water is "all around us".

A few years ago I had a solution of nitric acid with some copper dissolved. One morning the solution was gone and there were these beautiful BIG blue crystals.

Cu(NO3)2 • xH2O
https://www.americanelements.com/copper-ii-nitrate-hydrate-13778-31-9

reminded me of that website "snapchat", where everything is "cool" (or not) for a week and then disappears.

I put the big beautiful blue crystals on the kitchen window. Like Amethyst or something.

After a week or 2 they disappeared and there was just some blue powder.

Spent many hours with it, and love it dearly !
I admire him greatly and he has been
hero to me since I was a child.

He did far more than speak with them,
and it did bother him all his days.
Perhaps that had something to do
with the choices he made once he
parted with the military...
