Pixie Dust!





Why hello there, this is Chris from Wander without being lost…AKA Wander. I made the mistake of suggesting that Ben invite Psycho cohosts for the Bat. I guess he thinks I am psycho, oh well. Let us have a serious discussion.
Is the apocalypse coming? Is dooms day just around the corner, about to ring your door bell? Some in the know think it is, they want to prepare, and they think you should pay for it! That is, of course, if you live in Wyoming.  
Some in Wyoming felt it would be necessary to have an aircraft carrier, and fighter planes. That sounds reasonable; everyone needs their very own carrier. Can you imagine a world that would try to limit your ability to have your very own floating city, equipped with an airport, kitchens and living quarters for over five thousand lucky survivors?
            I am surprised that more states haven’t adopted bills like this one. Just think about how much money we can save without all of those people the doomsday will take out…0 that is right, 0 would be the savings! Aircraft carriers are so frickingexpensive that on the entire planet only 21 or 22 exist. Most nations can’t even afford to borrow one for the weekend let alone have one for…just in case.
This goes to show you that the fiscally conservative people of the great state of Wyoming know what the most important thing is…uber fricking expensive military toys that are stationed at the closest a thousand plus miles away. Economists are likely to point out that if Wyoming can afford one they might as well try to get three for the price of two; this would be a 33% discount. And while they are at it they might as well buy everyone in the state round trip tickets to never never land because that is as likely as Wyoming getting an aircraft carrier.

What say you, should we all preorder our pixie dust today and start thinking happy thoughts?

And before any one of you try to use the tired argument that this is old news remember "psycho" co-host. I think that about covers it!

  3. Ha! The whole thing makes me laugh...well, a little. But I have to admit (alleged barbarian in the house...lol) I'd so buy and staff an aircraft carrier if I have the funds to acquire, staff,maintain, and fuel one. Well...maybe I'd refit it with a few cruise ship ammenities, but the missles and guns - they're staying. I wonder what a few hundred shells would run me? Oh! While I'm at it, I'd better start interviewing an anti-sub crew. Those darned nuclear subs are hard to detect. Hmmm. That means I'll need heli crews, too. Retired fighter pilots may apply - and experienced gunners only. Sonar/radar men/women needed. A captain, too. Oh! I'll be Queen Of The Seven Seas!! *rubs hands together with a malevolent gleam in eyes* :} What? A girl can dream... I'm dead serious.

  4. "should we all preorder our pixie dust today and start thinking happy thoughts?"

    Oh my Chris. I'm laughing. What a great post. People seriously do not think though their solutions. They feel so pressured to have one, that even idiocy feels better than saying "I don't know."

    Me...I've become the poster child for "I don't know." Someone far smarter than I will fix it to be sure. Until then, I give it all the concern this brain can afford, which ain't saying much.
