At age, 60, Doctor Brown had finally
invented a concoction he called the
Youthful Elixir, a manmade fountain
of youth.

With his first drink, he loved the taste,
like a sweet cocktail.

When he finished the drink, in his mirror
he looked 10 years younger.

The effects exceeded his hopes, but
the elixir was too intoxicating due to a
heavy concentration of alcohol.

Doctor Brown, hooked on the elixir,
drank it all night, getting higher, happier,
and younger with each drink.

In the morning, all his elixir imbibed,
he woke up irreversibly a babbling baby
helpless, and equivalent to a new born babe.

two college girls go on a vacation
to a faraway land to hike in a
jungle by themselves
halfway through the hike
something goes wrong
only their backpacks are
found and the girls have
mysteriously vanished without
any signs of foul play or
animal predation
searches went on for weeks
dogs, trackers and the like
but the girls were never found
the locals claim UFOs were
often seen in the area where
the girls had hiked
the authorities rediculed the
rumors aliens had taken the girls
but somewhere the unconscious
bodies of the girls are imprisoned
in tall upright tubes for study by
alien scientists for their desire
to create a hybrid human alien
race of advanced beings
according to a strike force team
of remote viewers

It was to be a peaceful getaway
For Mr. and Mrs. Durham, a
vacation from their small town
in Idaho to Montreal, Canada.
Both in their 80s, they’d never
been out of Idaho. At an age
with death nearer, they wanted
a memorable getaway in their
waning lives. On the morning
of their flight to Canada, they
didn’t wake up. As fate would
have it, they took a flight into
the afterlife instead. Maybe
in spirit they went to Canada,
but I suspect they went to a
better destination instead.

Any fool can ask directions.
Any weak-minded weakling
can cave in and like a lost sissy
compromise his manhood
by embarrassingly admitting
he’s lost and needs directions.

Can you imagine Rocky ever
weakly asking directions,
as if his mega masculinity
had been emasculated?

Imagine seeing the Terminator
meekly asking directions
as if his testosterone was in
the tank and he lost his
gargantuan cajones.

It takes a real man to man up
and keep his testosterone
intact, to refuse to sacrifice
his manhood by weakly and
meekly asking for directions.

Better and more manly to
drive around lost for hours
than to succumb to being
a girly man and asking
for directions like a woman.

Blanche Moonier, a French socialite born in in 1849,
Beautiful and desired by many suitors,
She wanted to marry a penniless lawyer.
Her parents objected.
But Blanche was determined
To marry her love.
Her parents locked her away in a tiny room
To try to persuade her to give up her love.
Blanche refused and was kept in the room
With no light. No bath. Nor a washroom.
Her family kept her there for 25 years
Long after her lawyer love had died.
When the police were notified of her imprisonment,
They found her living in her own feces and in filth
In the tiny, lightless room with bugs and an odious smell,
Her mind damaged by the years of isolation,
Her body emaciated like a barely living skeleton.
After her rescue, she spent her final years
in a psychiatric hospital with many psychological disorders,
And died at age 64 in the hospital, a broken, pitiful woman
Never healed of her many mental health problems.
