It didn't rain on our parade, but it bubbled

The annual Bellevue-Dayton Memorial Day Parade took place this morning. Last year's parade was canceled for some reason, but it's back!

While I was at the parade, I saw a grown man wearing an Elmo t-shirt. Also, I saw 2 people who were in such a festive mood that they bubbled.

Have no fear, the June ish is here!

June wouldn't be June if it wasn't ushered in by the June issue of The Last Word, your road atlas to fun and freedom!

This ish talks about new details of a person wearing a bubble gum t-shirt, recent fights at Kings Island, people spitting out gum and spilling 7 Up all over libraries, 'Mork & Mindy' trading cards, and more!

If you will (or if you won't), point your pooper here...

A person wore a bubble gum t-shirt

Last night, I went to Party on the Purple, a series of concerts, and it was packed! The guy in the band wore a Bazooka bubble gum t-shirt!

Needless to say, that was pretty damn funny!

Also, when I was on the way over there, some woman jogging up the street bubbled.

Court Street! Clifton Avenue! UC! Game day bucket go boom!

Like many coolsters, I went Roads Scholaring about Cincinnati again back in February, and this minor outing yielded 11 photos.

Just peep 'em...

Austin passes right-wing referendumb to criminalize homelessness

Yet another evil policy from the same crowd that gave us the lockdowns!

In Austin, Texas, voters have just approved a right-wing referendumb called Proposition B - which reinstates policies to criminalize some activities of the homeless. Proposition B would make it illegal for the homeless to camp anywhere that isn't specifically designated by the Parks & Recreation Department, to sit on a sidewalk, or to sleep outdoors in much of the city - bringing back rules that were lifted in 2019.

The measure was put on the ballot by a well-funded right-wing PAC called Save Austin Now. Just recently, city council partially reinstated the camping ban - before Proposition B even passed. Meanwhile, Texas lawmakers are considering a statewide camping ban.

There's no guarantee that bundles of partially burned ballots won't show up in hotel rooms, given the tendency of foreign dictatorships to interfere with American elections. But as for now, the result sadly stands.

Media almost uses magic word properly

You were so close, media. So close.

This may be like Last Word material in that it explores the word ruin, but it dives into a much more serious matter that's more suitable for this blog.

A New Jersey paper recently ran this headline: "'Students feel disconnected' and it's not senioritis. COVID ruined Class of 2021's big year." Nope, it wasn't COVID that ruined it. It was schools being run by a bunch of jackbooted ghouls that ruined it. A different posting of this same article is headlined: "Graduating Class of 2021 has senior year ruined by COVID." Again, it was the incompetent response by school and government authorities - not COVID - that ruined it.

The article itself uses the magic word accurately by simply not specifying what spoiled the year: "Fond memories of high school senior year have been ruined" to be replaced by ''virtual" schooling and canceled events.

The more important point is that there is a special place in hell for government and school officials who destroyed these students' senior year. There was simply no defensible reason for it to be ruined. An entire year. Gone. They can't get that back. School and government authorities have no humanity whatsoever. They show a complete lack of consideration for others.

Now that the pandemic is over in the U.S., we need to move into the punishment phase. Our rulers are guilty of crimes against humanity and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. These people are evil.

Nighttime is the right time for Scholaring!

This past November, I famously went Roads Scholaring in Cincinnati and was out until almost midnight!

That Scholaring yielded only 4 photos, but you can peep them with all your might...

Have no fear, the May ish is here!

May wouldn't be May without the May issue of The Last Word!

This ish talks about right-wing censorship of antiracist books, the exciting comeback of small concerts, college students burning couches, cicadas' threat to bubble gum blowing, rolls getting dropped on the floor at a restaurant, an 8th grade classmate spitting potato chips on the floor, and more!

So point your pooper here...
