Which Reminds Me

Yes, the only time that I was assigned to do a role play in Miss Marken's 10th grade English class, I was assigned to perform a skit with Mosca, his nickname being 'Fly." He was sort of an idiot, more so than I had originally thought, because the idea of the skit was the most ridiculous and unimaginable thing, and I had no idea what my role was supposed to be or what to say about that. I somehow stammered through it as quickly as possible, forgetting what was that about or what did I say. 

I later noticed that he was Thomas Hill's protegĂ©. Maybe you should be asking Tom about that, because I have no idea what that was about.  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I seem to notice that they are such good role play actors, whereas that was not my strong point. So being a good role play actor means that your performance is very convincing to the audience. The audience believes what you are saying. The audience thinks that your words and gestures form a convincing portrait of what a good citizen should be. How fortunate for you that Miss Marken approved of your role play performance during one of those role playing sessions that she sometimes summoned to fill some class time. Miss Marken liked your role playing performance, so you will fit right in with the socialist construct adopted by some who define citizenship as a function of roles, rules and relationships. How fortunate for you that you had a U.S. citizen in your class to function as your citizenship backup plan for future reference.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I would need to say something about disposing of those Ecuador idiots, but anyway, they have already done a fairly good job of blowing their own brains out without me having to say something about that. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, so typical of them to argue the exact opposite of what I originally said or at least thought. I must step aside and let the State Department personnel tell them where to get off, because I do not want them to be angry at me. Better to stand back and let them fume at the embassy personnel who only doing their jobs anyway, so they have that excuse and get paid to sometimes say things that might not seem so pleasant to their expectations.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember when we were children, and fond of singing that song, "Onward Christian Soldiers." Some people often protest against that song, but I think that it says something very important for Christians. But of course if you are not really a Christian then you would not be able to quite understand what that means. But I digress.  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, i do not know when it would ever be safe for me to speculate out loud about my future plans to do something, whatever, go here or there, do this or that, for fear of launching a stampede of persons who are opposed to whatever I want to do. Did I say that I wanted to write a book? Well, it turns out that I do not need that much pain. I really do not have to do that, I can always change my mind and not write a book, or if I ever did write a book, I did not specify what sort of book it would be, anyway, your opinion would not be required for me to do that, if I should change my mind, although I am not sure that I would need to do that anyway. The time is long since past for having to discuss any future plans with you.    

Which Reminds Me

Yes, it is a good thing that I had State Farm insurance, so that whatever happens, the insurance would cover that without any need for me to revisit the technicalities yet again. I cannot quite remember how that happened, when I drive past where that happened I cannot quite think how that could have happened, everything is blurry in my mind, but anyway, I had more than the legally required insurance to pay for that.
