"1976: AMERICAN MOVIE"
Outside in the Virginia noon, under the azure hue of a summer day.
SAM
I hear the Brits are having a hot summer. No rain or prosperous crops.
GEORGE
God Save the Queen little brother.
SAM
I sure miss football season.
GEORGE
What to do but watch that spin-off from All in the Family--The Jeffersons.
SAM
Anything is better than M*A*S*H.
GEORGE
You just don't get the metaphor little guy.
SAM
I think I should feel a bit insulted.
GEORGE
Yep . . .

"1976: AMERICAN MOVIE"
Cast:
SAM--11 year old boy fascinated by the modern 1970's culture.
GEORGE--Sam's older, teenage brother. Likes to expand Sam's cultural experiences.
ACT 1
The capital of the misguided Confederacy--Richmond, Virginia. Starsky and Hutch offering tongue and cheek action with the American V-8 roaring across the airwaves. Sam drinking TANG, remembering the astronauts and heavily sold Moon Rocks. George next to his kid brother on a dusty couch, sniffing the aromatic perfection of a colorfully printed comic book; specifically, Captain America and the Falcon fighting rooftop crime.
SAM
Does Jimmy Carter's car really have a peanut painted on it?
GEORGE
Of course. And the guy saw a spaceship before SPACE: 1999 became popular, them damn Brits, gotta luv 'em. Yeah, the progressively political Carter was a peanut farmer or something.
SAM
I miss Dad . . .
GEORGE
Divorce is everywhere nowadays. Least Mom got remarried to a hard-working salesman. He buys us good stuff--comics and the Schwinn we share. Plus, he let us have our dog, Fonzie.
SAM
I love Fonzie. Hey--I think Mom is gonna make spaghetti tonight, with Ragu.
GEORGE
Man, you always "dig for gold" when we eat spaghetti, picking out the onions Mom puts in to enhance the flavor.
SAM
Well Mom's flavor looks like little boogers.
GEORGE
Just remember--the Bicentennial Celebration is this Sunday on the 4th. I think Bob Hope is having a television special.
SAM
Hope Roger Staubach is in it.

"DUI: LISTERINE BLOWS"
Dr. Phil, a bit selfishly sanctimonious; nevertheless, a decent man from Horseshoe America, where a pancake always has 2 sides, displayed a television show, expounding upon: LISTERINE & other oral cleansers can blow you positive on Cop-Used Breathalyzers. So, if our Cop Technology used in capturing drunk drivers is defunct--how much more BS is there in the Lie Detector mechanism?
Plenty. Especially 4 the mentally ill or anxiety ridden, their asymmetrical physiology offering ambiguous pulse & heart surge.
Thus, the crap continues. Wrongful Prosecution everywhere. And 2 think: Suffering from OCD with Tics, I once made-out with a lovely lady in a grocery store parking lot; next, I rinsed my mouth out with the LISTERINE I carry in my glove compartment after she made her exit, all in hopes of defeating sultry, thrush-like cheese from forming in my mouth after the spit-sharing French Kiss. If I would've been tested under Cop Law; then, I would've been doing defeat @ the local lock-up. So, 2 the American Justice System and all viewers of pseudo-science cop shows--we're not @ the apex of technology yet. Totally, we're kinda/sorta in the Dark Ages.
So, remember Nancy Reagan & tell your adolescent daughters: "Just say no--don't blow."

"AMERICAN PLASTIC"
Don, living in Nashville, was maligned by Ulcerative Colitis, pooping large amounts of blood till richly bleeding himself anemic, knowing the only cure for the intestinal ulceration & inflammation was to have his guts carved out; as a result, he suffered patiently with legal medicine, enjoying such side effects as: Morbid/Painful Constipation, Hysteria, whatever . . .
The American South always acquiesced last. First West; next, North; then, the South. Furthermore, Medical Cannabis is sincere medicine, but anti-liberty politics wants to make cannabis an endangered species, hunting it all down and burning it into nothingness. And if you sought out cannabis for your raging case of Ulcerative Colitis in Nashville--you would be arrested, pay court & probation fees; plus, possibly be sexually assaulted in lock-up.
Therefore, to heal his woes, Don engaged this "Age of Information" in attempt to architect his own medicine. It was a real cerebral stretch. Afterwards, Don was pooping less blood, but became elongated. Does a Cadillac stretch? No, but a Mercedes-Benz . . .

When you're Catholic or as the Evangelicals claim: ROMAN CATHOLIC--you have Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo; thus, you don't need the negatively-inherited sanguine sufferings of Christ--you need an astral travel agent. Nope.
Whether the multiple afterlives given merit by Mystic Scribes in Hindu religion, or the Shinto Origination; moreover, even the Abraham-Crafted Religions offer a plethora of Paradise. If people wanna save up their Bad Karma and resurrect it in a Perpetual Soap Opera where your girlfriend always cheats on you with an "even" more wicked man; then, that is your choice; indeed, THERE, it will be an eternal challenge, but that is Chicken Soup for the Malevolent Soul. Hence, choose your adventure. Siddhartha inheriting the Buddha, having a synergy forged by way of restraint, knowing: "We suffer cause we want things." So, shave your head or get an American Buzz-Cut, forget the hungry eyes of a flirty woman, and eat rice or a plant-based diet all day; plus, partake of the occasional piece of Christ-Caught Fish.
I have been a pile of dung. Hoping to make new friends within the Trans-Corporeal Ranks of the Celestial Hierarchy. If the Christian God is the only Name in the Multiverse; next, why did the shy Moses have to wield the weird of a Supernatural Staff to defeat the Egyptian Deities? Therefore, Monotheism is axiomatic in that: Perhaps the Abrahamic God is the Most Divine--the Supreme Ruler of all the gods. Nevertheless, the Book of Exodus clearly describes other super-mundane life in the continual cosmos.
So, be a Monk (maybe), getting Purgatory outta the way, but I still need a myriad of mind-bending lessons downloaded into my Cyber Soul if I want a peaceful forever. As a result, you can do anything. And if you make it to Heaven without an afterlife purge of your eternal existence, all the guys in Purgatory will say: "Yeah, I learned that in Purgatory. What you--you never went to Purgatory?" And the sublimity of a Saint will offer: "Nah, didn't go to College either. And with the American Health Care Plan, I actually got by pretty nice."

QUASI-SEINEN MANGA: FISH (16)
Men were yummy 2 eat,
And part-machine Kazumi feasted upon the treat;
Still, the wicked trickster Rin had poisoned the men;
Hence, nearby was the ninja-like, assassin's den.
