11/11: The Int'l Day of Peace is on the Rack

NOBODY expects the Int'l Day of Peace! Our two main weapons are INNER PEACE,
OUTER PEACE and MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD PEACE... wait, our THREE main weapons...

Da-da's Awesome 2012 Strategic Parenting Initiative 2012 Initiative Thing (REDUNDANCY EDITION)

Ok. You are SO lucky disappointed. Da-da's main sourpoint presentation caught fire and crashed into Haddonfield, NJ. Da-da had 173 powerpointless slides ready and... ok, they were admittedly all the same slide, with only one word on each one, but the transitions were awesome. What was the word? PEACE.

Yes, Da-da's Awesome 2012 Strategic Parenting Initiative 2012 Initiative Thing (REDUNDANCY EDITION) is simple. It's peace. Peace. PEACE. Is this thing on? Parents and most supreme beings want, nay crave Peace. Not hippie peace, but PEACE. Quiet, safe, relaxed, floaty, unburdened peaceful Peace. A place where no one is subjugated, no one uses or profits from the miseries of others, no one's jumping on the bed or hitting their brother when Da-da's not looking. P-E-A-C-E! As non-local beings having a local experience, Peace is our natural state. SO GET ON IT. It only takes a second. All you need do is close your eyes, quiet your mind and think, "PEACE," and imagine yourself... you know, PEACEFUL, and unrepentent in your overuse of capitals -- though keep your eyes open while driving. Oh, and would you please stop leaving your cold drinks on PEACE without using a coaster? Otherwise, we have to wipe it down all over again. Jeez, what were you, born in a barn? Hold on... HEY YOU KIDS, NO DISTURBING THE PEACE. HELLO?

Um, not exactly, but thanks for making it weird.

Forget It Jake, It's Bunnytown II: Mastering Your Inner Psycho Bunny

It's hard being The Easter Bunny.

Da-da was sitting in his stinky wondrous Easter Bunny costume at the park de la amusement the other day, sitting alone on a break amidst a lovely Japanese garden tucked behind a building full of of greasy alien machinery, its grind blissfully muted by a blustery storm. All was quiet... well, as quiet as an amusement park in a storm can be. However, Inner Peace was within Da-da's bunny grasp... but it's kinda tough to achieve Inner Peace when you're wearing a odiferous 60-pound bunny costume in a storm in an amusement park. Regardless, Da-da exerted a firm, superbunny superhuman control of his inner psycho-bunny giant vegetable Da-da and was enjoying the sound of the wind, the scent of the rain, when a pubescent voice from beyond cleaved Da-da's rabbit reverie...

"HEY, EASTER BUNNY! YOU SUCK!"

So much for Inner Peace. Inner Psycho Bunny Activated.

You are officially hosed. (This is by one of Da-da's fav artists, Michael Sowa.)
