Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for June 17, 2022

Watch Spaceballs if you want to see what combing the desert is like.

That should solve your problem about falling asleep.

Poor Horace. He even has to work hard to be bored.

is it possible to die from boredom?

Years ago there was a TV show (whose name I forget) that was comedy about frontier life. A couple was living in a log cabin:

Wife: “No matter how much I sweep, I can’t get this floor clean.”

Husband: “Honey, it’s a dirt floor.”

Sometimes you’re so overwhelmed you do nothing…

On the first part of the journey

I was looking at the power point presentation

There were no plants or birds, only rocks and things

There was sand and hills and all what the boringness brings

The first thing I got was a sigh with a buzz

Under the sky with no clouds

The heat was hot and the ground was dry (- the boringness acute high)

But the air was full of my mourning sound

I’ve been through the desert – I’m a horse with a broom

It felt boring to be oh so doomed

In the desert you can remember your gloom

‘Cause there ain’t no one to give you an elsewhere to zoom

La la la la la la…

The Boring Life Side of the Horse

And he’s gotta watch that powerpoint while standing up too.

Listening to someone slowly read all the text on every slide in a 50-slide presentation like a first-grader === “kill me now” boringness

With Powerpoint you can make a steaming pile of horse manure seem like Bananas Foster. Whenever someone pulled out PP I would ask myself, “What are they trying to hide.”….or has it improved since I retired?

There may be a unicorn somewhere nearby using the Shield of Boringness. Or I could be thinking of the old joke “With all this s**t, there’s got to be a pony here somewhere!”

Horace is gonna need a really big shop vac..!

Seems like a pretty dry presentation.

Don’t drop that horse stuff and you won’t have to clean up

When I retired from DoD in 2019 they were still using the same training that had to be taken every. stinking. year. that talked about Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State. I commented on it every single year, but the presentation was made and be hanged it they were going to update it to being more accurate.

Never mind the desert, we need to clean up Uranus. If you won’t clean up Uranus, who will?

“They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand. ‘If this could all be cleared away,’ they said, ‘it would be grand.’”
