The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization(folio the first)


Dennis Hopper(Lefty Enwright) was a'sangin' in the catacombs:  
"Lord of the Harvest....."

"....comes the time of reaping...."

"....I will come rejoicing!......"


"Must be one of our competitors, come to eff us up" said Jim.  "That health food bunch, or them sissies at Del Mar."

And hell followed with her.  There was then much sack cloth and ashes, gnashing of teeth.


A society that had at once bemoaned virtualization or the digitizing of social interaction, began to recommend something called "social distancing", meaning only certain pre-selected persons would be admitted to eat moose stew.  We would become reduced to a New York City kind of reality, where we don't make eye contact with people, nor give any other sign, not a grunt or a groan.  Car dealers would petition for a bail-out because of a slump in sales thanks to the deal-making handshake being discouraged.
