On The Ning Nang Nong

Cartoons capture the mood of consumerism and 'cambridge analytica' more than any news reportage. Oldie from 2012 but worth to recount in today's havoc of privacy concern.

 

English Attention: All sizzle and no steak

News reader with a pall expression: Well, Trump's idea for an American hamburger joint in North Korea has not appeased the Korean potentate. It was all sizzle with no steak.

Pun in even dour forecast.

 

Ship of Theseus is puzzling and playful. Our identities fail on first or the essential or the last plank replacement?
I say: everything is fluid that "identity" is an imaginary construct that we foolishly hold onto.

My mom recounts, I was this (shy!) and that (skinny!) and there (seafood biryani) while growing up. I used to hate this veggie and jump there and watched that television series (pig nursery, remember we discussed). Apart from that riveting pig nursery, I don't recall any other memories. Am I the same person who my mom thinks I am?

Hopey Dopey! You sound like my pen pal from childhood. Are you? Did you ever have pen pals? Did you have long hair? Did you ever send me a picture in a brown skirt (school uniform)?

Dark resembles the entangled world plot of Stranger Things. Just that what is entangled differs. Black Mirror, Dark, Stranger Things ... Netflix is spoiling me.

Agent Hope, nice to have met you here. Ek Kamakawiwoʻole's song on our dreamy bond.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.​

..even if you are not my lost pen pal, still meet me over the rainbow to observe strange flying objects and dream up that teleporter.

 

Voice on a man! We are matched 100% now. Are you crazy kidding me? I talk to a man or a woman or a jungle caterpillar, my first unsolicited observation is on their voice. Your voice is <>. And I recount that often through my interactions. I am sensitive to acoustics. A certain voice begets a certain unreasonable admiration.

My big time voice throb was Derek O'Brien.



But, when I listened to his voice removed from the studio, I was confused. He didn't sound like that spirited and voice-beacon Derek anymore.

 

Ruined more! Into politics now and was/is a Rajya Sabha member.
