God Shed His Grace On Thee

Since I can’t gather the time or the muse to wax poetical about horse races and bourbon, can I tell you how much I love (read: loathe) my work at the moment? I have every airport code in the nation memorized…unintentionally because I am not a flight attendant.

I’m working on the international list at the moment, but I’m restricted to those that operate on a regular schedule. That is unless you know of an airport in South Africa that requires mandatory anal cavity searches for drugs…because I would really like to send my boss there. During my travel research, I came across this information. Do you know what the actual name of Bangkok, Thailand is? Do you?

Well, duh. Bangkok is the City of Angels, Great City and Residence of the Emerald Buddha, Impregnable City of God Indra, Grand Capital of the World, Endowed with Nine Precious Gems, Abounding in Enormous Royal Palaces which Resemble the Heavenly Abode where Reigns the Reincarnated God, a City given by Indra and Built by Vishnukarm.

Since my muse is muddled in paper trails, I have taken this opportunity to read the Complete Bushisms* (collected by Jacob Weisberg on Slate magazine) and compiled a similar sobriquet for the grand U.S. of A. as stated by our fantastic president. (Because, for reals, when you don’t have anything to write about, why not ridicule the president. It’s easy enough nowadays.)

USA = Country of Repetitive Truths, Land of the Enchanted, the Great Competitive Nation of Catapulted Propaganda, Abounding in 250 Million Years of Coal, Ooching Along Hispanically with Compassionate Spirit, a Processed World that Encourages Consumption where Human Beings and Fish Coexist Peacefully and Built by Explorationists and Courageous Spacial Entrepreneurs.

Amen.

*I tried to include permanent links to all. If one isn’t included, rest assured that you can find it on the complete list.
