| Watching the news coverage of Bush�s inauguration the other day I was overwhealmed by the knowledge that here, truly it could be said that the American people had spoken! And what they said was �Ow! Ow! Stop f**kin hitting me!� I love America�s police force, they just have that delicate touch in the problem of demonstrations. Political protestors, anit capitalism demonstrators, save the whales, stop the war, ban the bomb? �.. Hit them with a stick! What a wonderfull culture we exist in, I think anyone who wants to peacefully demonstrate should be allowed to without being hit by a stick shurley? Well not according to American police officers who like wacking protesters with Bl**dy great big bits of wood apparently! But getting away from a political rant and back into the normal spirit of my mental expulsion of detritus, the subject of hitting people with sticks is a very interesting one.. And as always one which I have a view upon! There is nothing quite as theraputic as hitting something with a great big stick, well except maybe Pokemon battleing but I covered that before and I need something different for today. (This does however suggest a worrying trend that my rants seem to often center on the fields of violence and tension.) Stress relief is a big problem in todays day and age, our world is far to stressfull, we need to calm down and let off some steam, so failing the discovery of Pokemon Big sticks are my solution! The other essential ingrediant is fruit. Now I�ve really lost you huh? Take one large, fairly long, quite weighty piece of wood, something along the lines of a baseball bat, or a two foot piece of 2x4, ok got that? Now take a piece of fruit, any fruit of your choice although nuts tend not to be a good idea unless you have people nearby that you really dislike. Now position your fruit on a solid surface, maybe a tree trunk or a big rock, and prepaire yourself for seriose stress relief! Obviosly you then swing your piece of wood with some force and gaze in joy as your fruit explodes. How satisfying! For maximum stress relief I recomend varying the size of fruit, if you are mildly stressed how about a pear or an apple, really stressed? A melon or a grapefruit. So there we go...stress relief, the DCPD way! |
