BS: Ban Insipidity!!!!

Yes! It's high time we joined together to rid the world of all sources of insipidity! Let's start with Kenny G. Then we can move on to Care Bears, Barney and Kevin Costner!

We know some bleeding hearts are going to say "Oh, no! Don't ban 'em! Insipidity can be overcome!" Well, they're wrong! Once insipid, always insipid! The insipid can never be made vital, provocative or spirited. They are doomed to forever remain bland, dull, boring and indifferent. Let's just get rid of 'em! Put 'em all on trains and send 'em someplace where their insipidity can do no harm. Yes! Send 'em all to Disney theme parks!

move 'em all to Mississinsipidi? South of Hattiesburg?

There's not much left south of Hattiesburg. And why would you want to inflict such a fate on the poor storm-bedeviled people of that area? Disney theme parks sounds like a good idea though. Aren't most of them already there anyway? And don't forget to send Tom Cruise.

I get Kenny G inflicted on me in many elevators and hotel lobbies, there must be a better place for him and his sax.

If you want cute come to China. It is going through a phase I saw when I lived in Japan where Hello Bloody Kitty is de rigeur for girls from 12-25.

And as for Chinese pop music it is saccharine sweet and the boy-girl band phenomena has hit the music scene (such as it is) here in a big way. Even the rock bands are pretty insipid as they cannot use lyrics that might inflame social tensions or refer to the poorer side of China's glorious leadership.

At least the Sichuan and Hunnan food is defeinately not insipid.

The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was insipidly drinking cider through a straw....

I'm witchoo, BWL...what about those in other lands, though? We can't have them all rushing in to be vapid with Mickey and Minnie. There isn't enough room in FLorida and Anaheim to keep up with our high school insipds, which we are churning out by the googol every year.

Aw hell, Amos, if we run outta room for 'em at Disney parks we can send a few to Dollywood.

Wow. You ARE onna roll, Bee-dubya-ell. But you are treading on thin eggs with the Barney ban. Recall: What's purple and stands straight up and greets you first thing in the morning?

Ah, ha. Didn't think of THAT I bet.

Hey, waitaminute! Does this mean Teletubbies, also? That's carrying democracy too far.

"Treading on thin eggs", huh? I don't believe that's how the saying goes, but what do I know? I ain't no rocket surgeon.

See, that's eggzackly my point, BWL .... one of thos einsipid people would have just shrugged and said, "Whateeeever....".

Dollywood is a great idea. If worse comes to worst we can probably borrow Graceland or the White House....

I was just talking to Kevin, BWL. He is pissed off at you, and he says he will probably punch you out if he gets the chance sometime soon... Maybe he's not as insipid as you think! ;-)

John has a Pontiac 6000? I only saw the Econoline when I was at John's house. Oh, John's wife was out of town! She had the insipid car with her!

That's okay, John. Susan had a Dodge Spirit until about a year ago. It was horribly insipid. But when it ceased running it also ceased being insipid. It became junk. And junk has a very low Insipidity Quotient. Don't ask why. It's one of life's great mysteries.

But would that leave us with only the purely sipid?
What would rush in to fill the vaccuum left by the insipid?

Reading "The Bridges of Madison County" while drinking diet coke from a happy face cup, with smooth jazz emanating from a Clear Channel radio station in the background, while sitting on plastic lawn furniture next to a kidney-shaped swimming pool in a backyard in Tarzana, California.

Seppeku, anyone?

I hope you realize that I have lost all hope just thinking about that hideous scene, Guest, and I am going to destroy myself by eating 1,000 anchovies tomorrow at dawn. You are to blame for this!

You just need a vacation. Put on the Osmond's Greatest Hits and light up an imitation strawberry scented candle while you find the perfect place to relax. Somewhere like a Holiday Inn. Rent a video, such as "Love Story" or "The Music Man." Nosh on lime jello topped with cool whip while you watch it. (Don't spill any on your "I heart Tarzana" Tee-shirt.)
