Yes, I know today is not actually Halloween. I’ve saved up a good oldie for tomorrow.
Today we’re going to ride around town enjoying the Halloween decorations… such as they are.
From what I’ve seen so far, decorated houses are at an all-time low this year. It’s like someone came along and sucked all the joy out of Halloween. Hmm… I wonder who that could’ve been.
Well, football fans, another team name bites the dust! The Cincinnati Bengals… are no more.
Why did this name have to be changed? “Because there has never, ever been even one Bengali person on this team!” explained Bishwajit Banerjee, a former cricket star who had a brief but unsuccessful tryout with the team. At first the front office claimed it was his 5-foot-9-inch, 118-pound frame that kept him off the team; but according to Banerjee, “They went to pieces when I tried to explain to them how cricket is played.”
Another important factor in doing away with the team name, he said, “is cultural appropriation, pure and simple! They want us to think they are Bengalis. None of them has ever even been to Bengal! And as for that Bengal Tiger mascot–well, just how many Bengal tigers do they have in Cincinnati? No, no–the tiger belongs to Bengal, not Ohio! Let them use some of their own puny wildlife for a mascot! Cincinnati Pigeons! Cincinnati Squirrels!”
Club spokesbiped Warren Cthulhu admitted it’s going to be hard to choose a new team name that will please everybody. “So far the best we’ve been able to come up with is the Cincinnati So-and-Sos,” he said. “I guess we could go with that, although I don’t see how you put a picture of a so-and-so on our uniforms, scoreboard, and merchandise. Maybe we should just do without a name.”
“Cincinnati Houseflies” seems to be coming on strong, though…

Not that I’d be caught dead doing this…
Let’s see… If you’re a white person and you do yoga, that’s cultural appropriation and that makes you a Racist. But if you don’t do yoga, then you’re rejecting a Minority Culture and not being Multicultural… and that makes you a Racist.
I will never believe these vipers acquired power over my country without the most massive fraud in all of history.
Now, of course, we can’t cut off funding to the stupid colleges. We waited too long, and now the bad guys are in the driver’s seat.
Gear up for a long dark night of stupid.
She just saw a white guy eating Chinese food…
If some of these college jidrools ever had to go a day without being offended, they’d feel like they’d had no day at all.
Some of it’s our fault, though: we’re the sad sacks who fund those colleges. We’re paying for the students to learn how to be addle-pated, snarling, upside-down nonentities. Not just in the exorbitant tuition fees we cough up without a murmur of protest; public money, our taxes that we worked for, comes pouring into colleges and looniversities.
I was going to say we deserve a better product than they’re giving us. But do we? Do we?
I don’t know that I can even plead temporary insanity on this one. I mean, really–what was I thinking?
Like, there I was yesterday evening, playing Pogo’s new, dis-improved Mahjong Garden game… and I’m not Chinese! Well! You could’ve knocked me over with a feather. Hey, is this Cultural Appropriation or what? Boy, howdy, if I was a collidge stodent, they’d lock me in the sweatbox for this.
But I want to be fair. Gotta be fair. I’ll give up all my cultural appropriations if everybody else gives up all theirs. I won’t even eat Chinese food anymore. But what about all the stuff invented by white men? Should persons who aren’t white men be allowed to use it? Electricity, air conditioning, modern transportation–you know the stuff I mean.
Liberalism–turning the whole world into one big chain gang.
Some 150 people in Medicine Hat, Alberta–including 22 members of a high school orchestra–were arrested last night on charges of cultural appropriation, under a new “protocol” adopted by the Justin Trudeau regime.
“Beethoven was German,” explained Elliot Mess, captain of the city police Bias Response Team, “and that makes his music German. Those people we arrested, they weren’t Germans. None of them. That makes them guilty of cultural appropriation. The fact that it was only a high school band concert is immaterial.”
“I didn’t know it was against the new law for us to play Beethoven’s music!” said 16-year-old violinist Liu Chia-Hui. “I love Beethoven! We all love Beethoven! His music belongs to all the world!”
“Wait’ll he tries to sell that line in sensitivity training,” said Mess. “He’ll wish his father never met his mother.
“Cultural appropriation is a form of hate. If you are not German, listening to German music, or performing it, is an act of anti-German aggression. It’s taking something that does not belong to you. That little smart-aleck Liu should’ve stuck to playing Chinese music–and on Chinese musical instruments only!”
Music teacher and band conductor Deirdre O’Connor, also arrested, “is in for a really hard time,” Mess said. “We’re not going to go easy on the ringleader!”
“We won’t stop,” he added, “until all of Canada is 100 percent hate-free! And there’ll be no more cultural appropriation.”
Gee, isn’t that cultural appropriation, too?
If a Christian were to actively pursue martyrdom as a means of showing the world he’s a better Christian than anybody else, I’m pretty sure that would be a heresy.
But it’s pretty close to what compels leftids to yowl and howl because everything normal people say or do offends them. Even truly meaningless asininities like “cultural appropriation.”
Now to try to attach a picture to this post. I’ll be amazed if it succeeds. It it won’t, well, at least “WannaBe” is on the case.
What’s the worst thing about living under liberals? It’s gotta be the sheer dull dreariness of it all, Political Correctness like a millstone tied around your neck, everything you say and everything you do is under constant scrutiny ’cause you might be a Racist and not even know it… Please.
Today is Halloween, and Far Left Crazies have been working tirelessly to take all the fun out of it. Their weapon against normal people on Oct. 31 is the charge of “cultural appropriation.” And what is cultural appropriation? Law professor Jonathan Turley explains:
“The reason behind such limitless forms of cultural appropriation is its limitless meaning” (https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/413813-cultural-appropriation-turns-halloween-into-a-nightmare).
Bullseye! Because its meaning is so hopelessly broad–“unauthorized use” of, like, anything pertaining to some culture or nation other than your own (But what if you personally identify as being of that culture, even if you’re not? They haven’t thought this through)–that it can’t really have a meaning.
What if someone said, “Hey, cars and air conditioning were invented by white people–you people of color can’t use ’em anymore”? If you are Mexican, does that mean you have to wear a sombrero and serape?
Like all the rest of liberalism, the whole thing’s too ridiculous for words.
Well, if you want to live your life grappling with inner conflicts like, “Gee, does my kid’s Halloween costume make me a racist?”, just let libs get back in power and they’ll do the rest. As a CNN noozie so candidly said, “Dear white people… your feelings don’t matter.”
Voter, you can turn yourself off, or turn them off. The choice is yours.
As if any of this were my fault, the Violet Crepuscular Society of Central Africa has hit this blog with a demand that we cease and desist all Oy, Rodney posts already. It seems these are a flagrant example of Cultural Appropriation.
The violet crepuscular skipper butterfly
How so? Well, there is a butterfly in Africa called the “violet crepuscular skipper”–honest, you could look it up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretna_carmen). And for Violet Crepuscular to call herself Violet Crepuscular without the consent of the Violet Crepuscular Society of Central Africa and its chapters in the Ivory Cost, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic (yeah, right) of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia is, according to the Society, “the worst example we have ever seen of very bad behavior.”
I don’t know what will happen if I continue to publish Oy, Rodney. Nor do I know what will happen if I stop, other than Ms. Crepuscular getting somewhat cross with me. I’ve got to ponder the situation, as Rocky Graziano used to say.
Stay tuned.
