End of a Legend (x2)

Pele2022

The sporting world mourns the passing of Brazilian soccer legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, no doubt one of the all-time greats. Was he, as some would have it in the many tributes, the best ever? Hard to say, it’s always difficult comparing players from different eras. An assessment confounded by the recency bias. I mean, people today have seen hundreds of hours of Messi and Renaldo playing and maybe an hour or two of Pelé. All the same, before buying all the panegyrics for “O Rei” (The King) you may want to consider something I wrote in 2018:

The Overblown Legend of Pelé

For your between the holidays viewing: the best of the Daily Dump 2022. Hm-m-m… on review it appears everything posted in 2022 was equally good. Which also means everything was equally bad. Let’s just say it was all equally equal. Still, like in any good animal farm, some things are more equal than others. With that in mind, I give you…

The Equal Ten Equally Equal Posts of 2022

These are the most equal one-off bits and not the cartoony series bits for reasons that will be divulged in the new year. Stay tuned. Or come back later since it’s going to be a while yet.

The calendar on my wall actually has Black Friday noted, but no Thanksgiving. But then, it’s not a commercially printed calendar but a hand-made one I got as a gift. Still, a telling omission or a forehead-slapping mess-up? I think the latter. I mean, who’s against Thanksgiving?

Let There Be Lightbulb Jokes

lightbulb

Where do new lightbulb jokes come from? From right here at terrycolon.com where I try my hand at writing a handful. Today, five “screw in a lightbulb” gags. At a later date to be determined, five “change a lightbulb” gags. Is there a difference that makes a difference? Yes and no. The explanation is deadly boring so forget it —on with the jokes.

How many physicists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Only one, theoretically.

How many plagiarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Only one, theoretically.

How many grumpy old men does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Ga-a-a-h, the light bulb can screw itself.

How many procrastinators does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I’ll tell you later.

How many honest politicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One. Good luck finding that one.

Thought I would try out a newish style of drawing, all done on the computer machine, just for the heck of it. Anyhow, this is version three. After all, according to somebody-or-other famous the first draft of any­thing is crap. And according to the old saw, the third time’s the charm. What’s the truth of any of the above? Ah-h-h, there’s the rub. Shakespeare. Maybe.

This being the updated fifth version, it seems the first four drafts of anything are crap. To be continued?

Peerless Peer

modern-times

Queen Elizabeth II has passed away ending the longest reign in British history. And so the crown passes to the Prince of Wales, Charles. But he won’t be King. In fact, he won’t be he. That’s because in our oh-so-Progressive times binary titles and pronouns are out, out, out. The New nomenclature is strictly gender non-specific, not masculine or feminine or anything in between, in other words neuter. That’s right, modern Progressive people have all been neutered.

So, Queen and King, forget that. The old lady and the old ways are dead and gone. Next on the throne, the gender neutral Queen-King: Quing Charles. Gone as well are him and her and he and she. The pronoun it replaces them all. Hence, Charles will be referred to as Its Majesty, the Quing. Royal Navy vessels will drop the designation HMS (His Majesty’s Ship) in favor of IMS (Its Majesty’s Ship).

There won’t be princes or princesses anymore either. William will no longer be Prince William, he’ll be, sorry, it’ll be Pring William, or Its Royal Highness the Pring of Wales. Pring William won’t have sons or daughters, they’ll be pringlets until they come of age. Or make up your own title, name, pronoun, whatever, since nowadays anything goes. Except the traditional, which has gone.

All the same, one thing won’t change — We can all, peer and peasant alike, still say, “We are not amused.”
