"But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow..." Revolutions, The Beatles
To anyone who was wondering: Yes, I was the guy riding a motorcycle around Newington yesterday. It was unavoidable - I had to rush out and stock up on 600 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets before there's a run on them and the price reaches astronomical new highs. This is the unforeseen result of the Civil Unrest in Egypt we've been hearing so much about lately. Stock up now, for in just mere weeks we'll all be sleeping on scratchy brown burlap, limited to three hour sessions to prevent bed sores.
Although we may have to sacrifice a great deal in that respect, be certain that this is a good thing. There is some very exciting social upheaval happening just outside the pyramids; people instigating real social change, a large stone kitty is shooting flames from it's eyes and coughing up hair boulders... It's all very reminiscent of that time we extracted independence from the British Empire's cold dead hands back in July of 1776.
It makes all of our current political posturing, and maybe even our core values, seem moot.
