John Lennon Would Like You To Imagine

You’re a young kid. You start walking at 9 months old, way ahead of other infants, and you’re oddly really stable on your feet. The next week your parents decide it’d be fun to put some skates on you and see if you can stand on ice. You shock everyone and you can even slide along the ice without falling. Absolutely incredible.

By the time you’re 5, you’re dominating the hockey league. You can skate like nobody else. Faster, longer, pure speed. But, as you get older, you simply don’t grow beyond 5’9. You’re an absolute superstar, but you just don’t have the size. But godddamm can you skate.

So, you take up speed skating. You take to it like Donald Trump to a new grift. You train in special programs, and by the time you’re 16, it’s clear you’re going somewhere with this. Like, world class good. Your training goes into overdrive. You live at the rink, training, every single fucking day after school and for hours on weekends. You’ve absolutely mastered the sport.

Now you’re at the Olympics. You dominate through the preliminaries. You’re a gold medal favourite. And, that’s when the Gold medal race begins. You whip out to an incredible start, but there’s this one other competitor who’s keeping stride with you. The two of you are miles ahead of the pack and setting records on each lap. Pure dominance.

It’s the final stretch, and the two of you go all out in the last 400m. It’s neck and neck. One out in front, then the other, with barely even inches between the two of you. That’s when disaster hits. You get that VERY familiar feeling of “OH GOD, I need to take a shit RIGHT NOW”. You lose by 0.01 seconds. ONE ONE-HUNDRETH OF A SECOND. Why? Because for just a split second you thought about your colon over what was happening and lost that 1 inch lead you had.

Here’s the kicker. That was an all-time world record that was set. You’re literally the second best person in the whole fucking history of the entire damn world, and you’re literally 1/100th of a second away from being the absolutely best ever.

Imagine that. That’s gotta suck SO bad.

That’s why I always take a good poop before I do anything important. You never know when you’ll be in a gold medal speed skating race.

Afroman

If you’re not caught up to speed, remember Afroman? The guy who made that track “Because I Got High”? Well, cut to the chase, a bunch of officers raided his house and found absolutely nothing illegal inside. While they were there, they stole a bunch of cash and ate some of his cake off his counter.

How do we know this? Afroman had security cameras all over his house. He then took the footage from the security cameras and made a music video about it all.

But get this. Then the sheriff’s office sued him saying he couldn’t use his own security footage and point out that they were corrupt, and the fact he pointed out they stole money and cake from him has caused them “irreparable harm to their reputation”.

Suddenly “law enforcement” is “feelings enforcement”. It ain’t a crime to hurt your feelings, bitch. Ain’t it amazing how you have absolutely no remorse for violating people’s human rights but the moment someone uses their own personal security camera footage that makes you look like an absolutely fucking idiot (because you are), suddenly you’re this fragile little snowflake who needs to be wrapped in a warm blanket and sung a nappy time song.

Speaking of hurt feelings, do you remember that video of that kid (Daniel Shaver) who was literally executed in a hotel hallway by a cop who had “you’re fucked” inscribed into the side of the assault rifle?

The cop’s name was Philip Brailsford and he ended up getting fired over… you know… fucking executing an unarmed civilian. But, because the police are such upstanding people, he was quickly reinstated so that he could retire with his pension.

But get this! He then sued the department for medical disability due to PTSD. However, the PTSD wasn’t listed for executing a fucking kid while they cried for their mother but for how mean people were to him after the trial.
