Snobbery & Decay

I saw this from the McClellan highway yesterday.  I was on my way to Small Park. The one  with the hidden staircase that goes down to the sea.  I’ve always found it Lovecraftian but I think I’m the only one.  More like a Widow’s Walk for the propertyless classes. Anyway, I saw it from afar and from the left side which is to say devoid of Papist significance. As such, it looked like something from Mortal Kombat.  Some neo Orientalist mock pagoda fit for a Reaganite Triad boss or TMNT bad guy.  I must get a picture to show you that angle.

For serious. We should secede.

I’ve been talking about New England secession for a long time.  Welcome aboard, pretty girl!

The idea has actually been floating around since the Hartford Convention and most recently by the Second Vermont Republic.

New Englanders: We’re just better and we shouldn’t be dragged down by the dead weight south of Connecticut and Rhode Island.

I am going to eat dried fruit all day as a protest against this heathen, decadent holiday. My Puritan ancestors would give a sullen nod of approval and then slowly chew on dried apple slices.

True New Englanders always keep a jar of brine in the fridge because they never know when they might need to pickle something
