It’ll be the Chinese New Year in a few days time, Dear Reader…
*Wrong zodiac, Clicky… May ’67 would make me a ‘Fire Sheep‘…*
I guess this post should start with a Twitter DM convo with Poppy SweetPea, who gave me a story idea for ‘The Underdog Anthology 2: “Rise!” *…/SOBs…*‘…
The Easter edition won’t have a subtitle, that’s just my own fancy. Like I had for the first…
Anyhoo, I hadn’t given any more thought to Poppy’s ‘Killer Sheep’ suggestion until I read a comment by Elena yesterday evening, over in the Red Universe…
So I looked up ‘The Ides of March‘…
The day was enthusiastically celebrated among the common people with picnics, drinking, and revelry. One source from late antiquity also places the Mamuralia on the Ides of March. This observance, which has aspects of scapegoat or ancient Greek pharmakos ritual, involved beating an old man dressed in animal skins and perhaps driving him from the city. The ritual may have been a new year festival representing the expulsion of the old year.
Hmm, I thought, I’ve just seen a chap matching that description…
And read elsewhere about his possible scapegoating…
The Deep State’s next move is to pin the coming stock market collapse on Trump. When people think “Greater Depression,” they’ll think “Donald Trump.”
Hang on, I thought, bust…
Meanwhile Jenny Burger had also replied to Elena…
Fuck me, I thought, shiny Churchill…
This morning, Frank Davis of the Blue Universe was ‘reflecting‘ on a smoking and drinking politician, the first from the UK to meet with the Prez (then elect)…
“I was especially pleased at his very positive reaction to the idea that Sir Winston Churchill’s bust should be put back in the Oval Office.”
Then to my surprise, I was advised to ‘Chill Winston’ by one of my favourite trolls in the Yellow Universe today
*Yes, I saw what you posted to Highlander, Clicky… /rolls eyes… ‘sheep’s in wolves clothing’… *
Whilst back on The Underdog’s site…
… Dan had commented on the sexual proclivities of sheep…
*I think that’s meant to say ‘conspiracy‘, Clicky… /lights up…*
