The Oscars

It’s that time again. Time to bow down to the little self declared gods of the entertainment industry. If that sounds harsh, it is. What other profession holds a big show to pat themselves on the back and espouse their wisdom on how the world should be. These people play in a make believe world and often have no idea what happens in the real world.

Actors fulfill a niche in society to entertain. They are the jesters of the court of long ago and the thespians that play a role that is truly judged by the audience.

What if other professions held a big show to pat themselves on the back? How many would watch? Think about it. Let’s say plumbers banned together and told themselves they are great and deserve adoration of the world. Wait! They may be deserving of such recognition.

Where would the world be without plumbers?

In deep...........well you know what.

How about a big show for grumpy old me who write a regular blob. You would win the award for being the grumpiest, probably the oldest, and certainly the best. You could invite all your friends. . .well, both of them, and you could hire me to hand out the awards. I could tell some funny jokes, make some politically correct statements, and collect the several thousand dollars you would want to pay me.

Let me know when you get the date scheduled.
