Transmogrify Illustrated

The Neilsen TV rating system proves the Heisenberg Theory: that the mere observation of things changes them. That theory is particularly true of children's behavior.

"Film confers a kind of spurious eternity." Jim Morrison from The Lords and New Creatures

What were the sixties about?

The Transmogrifer's Take: Something very strange evolved out of the Lookout Mountain, top secret film lab and drifted into the Laurel Canyon community where an incredible group of people were sucked into a psychic vortex of a CIA program of human experimentation with LSD and other psychotropic drugs. Farther north, the same thing happened in San Francisco, a center for MKULTRA experimentation like Lookout Mountain. The psychedelic culture was born of military testing to counter the effect of Manchurian Candidates in "communist" countries.

"Urge to come to terms with the 'Outside,' by absorbing, interiorizing it. I won't come out, you must come into me. Into my womb-garden where I peer out. Where I can construct a universe within the skull to rival the real." Jim Morrison from The Lords and New Creatures

"The boundary line between self and the external world bears no relation to reality; the distinction between ego and world is made by spitting out part of the inside, and swallowing in part of the outside." Norman O. Brown, Love's Body

I'm getting a great deal of pressure to make more entries for the corporation by certain Fallbrook females, whose names I will not disclose because they will harass me unmercifully. So I'm going to post a Transmogrifer's Tidbit and an unrelated, or maybe even remotely related image. Hopefully this will placate the harpies and keep me from getting excommunicated.

Tidbit for 11-27-09

Sexual intercourse is an invasive procedure.

We like to think of ourselves as free, but that's impossible, so we customize our slavery.

No Fear

The spikes on my head put Godzilla to shame
Shaking your eardrums and father's to blame

Wearing my pants in a long daring droop
Don't have to drop them when taking a poop

Got a skinny new cell phone to call up my dealer
And a big black truck that I call a four-wheeler

Rumbling the condos on the way to a rave
Living just long enough to spit on your grave

When I get married the theme "song" is rap
Snoop Doggy Dog just spewing his crap

If you don't like it, just call up my dad
Got more money than you'll ever have

My sisters are steps on the stairway to heaven
Most of my meals are Seven Eleven

My skateboard will drive you out of your mind
Don't like all the noise? Then kiss my behind

Parental guidance is a system of oppression
Step into my booth, I'll hear your confession

I'm not a rebel in the usual sense
Just a leisure class deadbeat and major expense

got most of the networks just kissing my tush
To hell with the neighbors and president Bush

Who needs a job like those illegal slobs?
My parents avoid me, I think they are snobs

I'm into white power for as long as it lasts
My spray can diplomacy is really a blast

Why don't you just get out of my face?
I've got the jump on the whole human race

I'm prowling the roads and drunk to the gills
'Cause mama and daddy are footing the bills

When the baby arrives they'll take up the slack
For the rest of their lives I'll be on their backs

Give and Take

The takers never tire of taking but the givers always will
Then the disillusionment's swallowed like an icky little pill

The taker will grimace and blame the giver's pride
But the truth is an ugly mess far too obvious to hide

So the taker moves on to another needy soul
While surveying prospective places to dig another hole

To put the tawdry manuscript of unrequited love
But the preface is presented from the starry skies above

The givers are never what the taker really wants
The evidence lies in cold incessant taunt

Taker on taker is a condition to deplore
Givers together can sustain so much more

It's this truth eternal disclosing every deal
Grinding unsuspecting givers under heavy iron wheels

The compromise is the taker's secret bane
Reluctant morsels thrown from the swiftly moving train

Some say it's better to have given than receive
And that's an ancient axiom that takers can believe
