DJ; RE:" Peel or Perish, Pilgrims "
I'm burning up like two characters from Von Kleist's The Earthquake in Chile oh... could be the weather here in Texas, which is unseasonably warm. nevermind (^_^)
Well, of course you're looking for exits, I mean, what if there was No Exit ? and we were reading mean old French existentialist stuff instead of weird old German morality plays ? I mean, what if we were reading about dirty old trade wars between the old World Trade Organisation and the newfangled European Union? What do you mean, you wanna buy bananas directly from LatinAmerica without going through DOLE and CHIQUITA ? Why, that's un-American!!!
pooh on your Hermes scarves and MontBlanc pens! Who needs them anyway? What-are-you-guys-crazy-or-something? You going up against DOLE and CHIQUITA, two weeks after the Japanese slapped a 1000 % tariff on imported rice ? Kill that Golden (Christmas) Goose, folks, and scamble the eggs deux oeufs ensemble avec jambon.
Why, if The President of These United States wasn't busy with fixing a loose screw in the fabric of American laissez-faire ("neo-puritanism", as the New York intelligentsia have named it) and our new, all-volunteer (with grrrlz now!) Military Machine wasn't busy trying to figger out why, oh why can't the British Tornado pilots hit the broad side of (an undefended) barn with a million-dollar, laser-guided bomb - well, we'd send Ken Starr to Bruxelles to begin a never-ending investigation of this whole (fishy) fruit affair thing, and smuggle another hundred Scientologists into Berlin ! hooo-boy, you guys thought that the Greens were weird, what with, "Let's shut down all the power plants, whatsay guys?" Well! just wait! The French workers want their Christmas bonuses in Euros now... nevermind that they don't have jobs.
mmmmm-mmmmm, big old CostaRican bananas! With vanilla ice cream and a shot of Calvados! Those puny little things you get from Israel are no comparison to The Real Thing. Send a signal to your EU congressperson: "Ja! We have no Bananas, Today".
