Did you know Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss was banned from several schools in the USA for sexual innuendo, undermining family values and moral codes, and also encouraging rebellion? ROCK ON DR SEUSS!!!!! 🤘😆 #BringOutTheGimp #drseuss #GreenEggsandham https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UPqU9Bjiu/?igshid=yp1sj61dls4d

Humpty Dumpty lost his job, He felt lost and helpless so he started to sob. But he still looked all dapper in Armani shoes; Because he lived on credit so his debt grew and grew. Once the credit ran out, all purpose was gone; Life had no meaning, he felt he couldn’t go on. He decided he just couldn’t take anymore; And he headed towards the nearest high wall. You know the story and how it sadly did end; They tried but alas, poor Humpty, they just could not mend. Why was it old humpty felt so helpless and displaced? I guess we’re too busy for answers, running our relentless rat race? https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eTTJTAvcf/?igshid=1pdptfd0fmzz0

Thankfully, Lon Chaney lived in the silent film era and never got to experience the true horror of a Broadway Musical. (at Coburg, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WDEeIBbTh/?igshid=78xuerjnhvdk

It seems marketing and advertising is what sets you apart. Us animals can't pull off that shit, 'cause we just don't have the "smarts". Like the "think different" campaign of global accord. Take no notice of the irony once you all jump onboard. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JJtezgq6g/?igshid=165dgyx9oqa5p

Here is your opportunity to become an official agent of KAOS (International Organisation of Evil). Like most things in today’s consumer driven culture all you need to do is part with your cash in order to become a distinguished member of this diabolical and VERY exclusive club. Hand illustrated art now available at my Etsy store: https://etsy.me/3737ytq Since I was a young boy I’ve longed to be just like Siegfried (The KAOS Vice President in charge of public relations and terror). Now that I’m older, wiser and more experienced in thriving within a world where money is the driving force, I feel I’m getting closer to reaching my evil goals. There’s no steak knives but as a bonus at no extra cost, I’ve added the faux gold border to signify a high-ranking secret agent that adds value and additional prestige! #KAOS #secretagentsunite #maxwellsmart #getsmart #artforsale #melbourneart #secretagent https://www.instagram.com/p/B4zNSVgAdPy/?igshid=15z8895ha9uef

I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend

Frankenstein’s Monster

Somehow it's like you're not breathing; you're being breathed. And the first time I ever had that feeling was with Robin Williams. We had this scene, "I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world." And it's etched in my brain as him standing in front of me writing "yawp" on the chalkboard and he said, "Todd doesn't think he has anything of value inside him." That scene is pretty much shot in one take. It's cut a little bit but Peter [Weir] shot it on a steadicam spinning around us. I remember Robin hugging me after that scene was over. It's a high I've been chasing the rest of my life. I mean the last 25 years since then or whatever.  It's also something that's absolutely heartbreaking and tragic about the person who taught you the expression "carpe diem," taking his own life. You know, there's something really terrible about that. But he was always – for every great high there is a low. And he was a person who experienced tremendous personal highs. I mean being around him you felt the epic swings in his state of mind. Even at 18 I was with it enough to sense those. So I feel for him and I feel for his family.

Nothing, nothing mattered, and I knew why. So did he. Throughout the whole absurd life I'd lived, a dark wind had been rising toward me from somewhere deep in my future, across years that were still to come, and as it passed, this wind leveled whatever was offered to me at the time, in years no more real than the ones I was living. What did other people's deaths or a mother's love matter to me; what did his God or the lives people choose or the fate they think they elect matter to me when we're all elected by the same fate, me and billions of privileged people like him who also called themselves my brothers? Couldn't he see, couldn't he see that? Everybody was privileged. There were only privileged people. The others would all be condemned one day. And he would be condemned, too.
