Hippie Dippy Dietician, SillyMickel Adzema Serves PostApocalyptic Fare for Surviving PostBush Era Second Great Depression
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek,
not exactly Julia Childs, and hardly Gordon Ramsay. In the post-Bush
MadMaxian world, you're lucky if you got hippie skills. Out of the
woodwork (or off the streets), this guy's got some expertise that the
world has yet to ask for. Like an SNL skit -- which could be titled
"The Hippie Dippie Out-of-Work Fast and Healthy Eating Show!" – this
MadMaxian elder Flower Child sets up in a minimalist post-Bush kitchen,
in a time (today?) when millions of folks are educated and
knowledgeable, but lacking jobs, they educate however they can. The dry
humor is meant to give one a chuckle in the midst of these worrisome
times, by exaggerating a possible outcome of this economic collapse. a
minimalist world is glimpsed. Imagine bums giving tips to newbies –
post-corporate “suits” -- on proper and nutritional dumpster-diving;
imagine these earnest students stumbling over each other to get these
tips recorded verbatim into their Blackberries. Well, this ain't quite
that; maybe next time. What THIS IS is tip #1 from the hippy-dippy
dietician, sillymickel, doing his part to pass on simple tips for
eating simply and healthily, while having little money. Serious or not,
this guy's got a style all his own -- you might expect his next gig to
be for street-people, if it weren't for the millions of displaced
families in America who may soon be hanging on to their laptops and
their uplinks so as not to miss Googling the virutal world even as they
strive -- urban Robinson Crusoe's -- to summon up shelter and
sustenance in a world gone very wrong and gone totally strange, indeed.

"Are You Filming?" I'm (SillyMickel) the guy with the camera at first; but you can see me boogying
across the screen near the end. I'm with my stepsons, Peter Radford and my wife, Mary Lynn. My
stepson, Peter, with the buzz cut, is the one goofing on me with the
"Are you filming?" routine. The female is my wife. David, the other
stepson, is the one who is quiet.
The Compassionate Interspecies Guru and his Hippie Sidekick
"What the Hell Is That?" SillyCat, Muff - Tolerant & Bemused - Ponders Bizarre Antics of his
Huge Alien Partner Only
Universal & All-Pervading Love can explain the attachment and
unflinching loyalty the renowned Interspecies Investigator, Sillycat
Muff, maintains in the face of the inexplicable, often goofy,
transformations he observes in his subject. The unmiffed, huge-hearted
Muff displays a Kwan-Yin like compassion toward the undoubtedly
troubled, hugely oversized albeit harmless, Human who has attached
himself, bonded, and befriended him. This heart-warming, unlikely
buddy-story between the reputable elegant Sillycat Muff and his
disheveled hippie sidekick, Sillymickel, is the life-affirming proof
that there is a divine underlying unity beyond and between even the
most disparate of God's creatures.
In part 1: Pet cat, Muff, wakes
to find alien digital camera has materialized in front of him. With his
friend, me, providing a verbal soundtrack, Muff shows that it's all so
Twilight Zone to him.
Muff's Brave Encounter with Metaloid Aliens Continues: "Show Me Your Tongue."
Part 2 of Muff's encounter with other worldly technology. This
wanna be Kitty Marine continues his adventure, bravely blazing a trail
directly at and into these other-than-natural shiny contraptions that
seem to have a curiousity of him equal to his own, in that he discovers
them often sneaking up and staring him down. Still, brave Muff, is not
miffed. He continues his meticulous survey of these astonishing silver
one-eyed beings, knowing that he is opening a way, not just for
himself, but for many kitties that will follow him, also seeking to
understand these strangely metalically addicted aliens, which were once
simply thought human. Again, I provide verbal soundtrack to this
astonished cat's trippy encounter with these technologically inbred
aliens.
Muff's Out Tonight; and All the Bedsheets Are Nervous
Muff, my cat, fights off vicious attack by the sheet he was
sleeping on just before. With my encouragement and cheerleading, he is
able to understand the seriousness of such an event and to respond to
save himself. Because of his success he has decided to enter the
military. But, despite his best attempts, he simply cannot find any
terms to use in Google that will give him a lead on the vaunted, albeit
secretive, Kitty Marines. He's using chat online to discuss this with
other macho cats in the same predicament.
Muff Displays Vicious Fight Tactics to Wow Recruiters
According to my friend, Muff, he has received credible intel that
the secretive Kitty Marines -- he's had so much trouble contacting
online with his kittenputer -- nevertheless have got wind of his desire
to join up and will be observing him today, from a hidden location. He
tells me this is his first, maybe only, big chance to impress them and
gain the coveted invitation into their ranks. I don't see anything like
this as I look about, but what do I, as a human, know of such kitten
culture and ways. Wanting to support the troops (whatever the species),
and of course wanting my friend to be happy, I do what I can to cheer
him on in what he claims is his audition, "Muff Versus Sheetzilla"
(though secretly I envy the colorful, spectacular adventures he seems
so able to summon).
