#1 The older I get, the more I like the Macdonough's Song.

#2 "Old Yellow was ladylike lemon..."
"And Red, in its manly persimmon!"
"So why did they ban it?"
"We're saving the planet
with Green, the new Soylent for women!"

#3 Macdonough's Song

No kidding. Dunno why I don't read him more often (nuff inferiority complex already?). Cuz when I do, I wonder, life being so short, why I'd read anything else. Thanks, man. Didn't post this the other day (cuz it sucked, and I like valentour), but what the hell...

A painful dilemma. No, crippling.
Brass blasting and church bells a-rippling.
I'm standing, stunned, blinking:
"What's wrong, dude?" "I'm thinking."
To choose between godhead and Kipling?

#4 Maybe because women are at the top end of the food chain while men are the ones most likely to die while on the dirty jobs that keep the chain operational. Men get to see 'nature' up close and personal in a manner the vast majority of women seek to avoid.

#5 I use far less energy than Mrs. Uluque because I don't watch anywhere near as much TV.

#8 Discarded birth control and hygiene products cause a great deal of damage to the environment.

And laundry detergent, and Bounce sheets, and makeup and all the industrial waste from the production of smart phones, and other modern conveniences which disproportionately benefit women -- oh, and socialism, which tends to be more popular with women.

When oh when will the ladies "lady up" and give up all those icky modern contrivances?

Eh, virtue signalling is so much more convenient.

#9 I kicked the Earth's ass today with a shovel, then flayed a sunflower. I will celebrate my victory with a whiskey and change the best non-green battery to the laserlyte so I can impale the Earth with lead tomorrow then pour a girlie drink into its open wound. Then maybe some fireworks.
