Ray's Thought for the Day - Bury Those Quitters
Ahem. Having had the effrontery to query my sister upon the subtopic, What are you and Crumby up to?, I am now minding my own business with regard to all that. Obviously, it’s none of my business. Even though it involves both my only known sister and my bosom companion. All righty then, for that, for the nonce. Once I wax to full blown Sun God status, I shall shed some light on all that.
Meantime, Crumby and I went to a movie. So now we shall feature a special movie review edition of that particular movie, the very famous Red River, also known as Bury Those Quitters. Crumby and I both surmised that current events dictated a special edition movie review of Bury Those Quitters.
Bury Those Quitters, the movie, is a rip-off of Mutiny on the Bounty. It’s exactly the same spell with three minor departures. One minor departure is, instead of bread-fruit trees getting toted hither and yon, cows are drove, hither and yon. The second minor difference is, the Sun God Trainee in Mutiny on the Bounty splits totally, whereas the Sun God Trainee in Bury Those Quitters reunites with the One Big God, as asshole buddies for eternity. The third minor difference is the Goddess. The Goddess is portrayed as an idiot in Bury Those Quitters. So it’s no wonder that minor difference two, see above, comes into play.
But since many ignoramuses don’t have a clue about the spell, Mutiny on the Bounty, perhaps I should identify what these twain spells, both the original and the rip-off, involve, thematically. The theme is, you are supposed to finish what you start, especially if you promised to finish what you started, before you started. If you quit, you get buried, or at least whipped. Or, to put it another way, let’s say you are a simple sod of the earth, a regular working class honker, who takes an oath. That oath must be fulfilled, no matter what happens after you take the oath. Generally, simple sods of the earth, sometimes now known as honkers, when they oath, oath to a One God or a Kingly type, who punishes oath breakers with burying, or at least a good whipping. So before you take an oath you should think ahead to cover all potential eventualities that might be unendurable. A likely eventuality is that the One God or Kingly type may not have your actual welfare at heart and may come to think of you as a simple machine, or as a malingerer or whiner, or easily replaceable, or no-account because you fuss about your situation after taking an oath. But never mind that. Oaths are generally taken on the spur of the moment during times of great excitement and irrationality, or when “it can’t get any worse than this.” So you probably won’t employ whatever ovational skills you may innately possess before you take that oath. You’ll be too over wrought, to think. So you shall take an oath. Then, if you don’t follow through on your oath, you’ll get yourself buried or whipped, or maybe just die trying, accidentally. Or maybe events shall play out OK.
The odds that events shall play out OK are very often dependent on the state of mind of the One God Kingly type. Mostly, simple sods of the earth, US working class type honkers, believe that the One God Kingly type knows what he’s doing. We have Faith in Him. But the One God Kingly type may go crazy, or get switched out during your oath-fulfilling process, and replaced by an ignoramus or even by a Mammonite liar and glutton. Oopsy-daisy, the odds that events shall play out OK, just headed south.
So here’s some free advice from the Druids in these parts. If the odds head south, run off with the Goddess.
