“…The People’s Party”

 

This “Yule” season stuff has me thinking.

Someone should do a History of Parties like they always do the History of War or rich people. This because it’s one of the best things we ever invented. Plumbing medicine, and salami are good too, but parties make life worth living. I mean when was the very first party. Who was there what was on the menu,…hopefully not each other.

This is why music, and beer were invented. Little parties turned into festivals which turned into politics which gave us the crap we have now. So we should have kept it local, and personal.

Come to think of it Festivals are really friendly riots. Same yelling running around, and weird stuff. Just no pillage beheadings, and fires. Be-ins of the 1960’s were my first experiences of actual folk festivals. That is a gathering that’s not manufactured to take your money or soul.

Anyway if it ain’t already done there should be a History of Parties. Maybe Ken Burns could do it. That or a bunch of books with lots of weird horny pictures in it. Somebody pitch this to HBO,…no don’t!

Another thing.

Once parties were invented how come this didn’t become the whole reason for Civilization? Instead of war, and taxes. I mean them Bronze Age folks had all the parts. Beer music jokes food sex, and pals,…what the bleep more do you need.

I can see it. A whole world civilization based on the “Pursuit of Happiness”.

That phrase got put into our Constitution for a reason. Like a sleeping seed waiting through the centuries to finally be noticed, and sprout!
