Totally Ridiculous Comedy: Jacks Nightclub

Totally Ridiculous Comedy: Jacks Nightclub

By Denny Lyon @ HubPages

From Denny: "I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities." - Dr. Seuss

Wrote this recently as a raucous fast-paced ridiculous short story. It's really a bit long to post here and when that happens I park those writes over at HubPages. Take a look and you will be amused! Thanks for visiting!

Here's an excerpt from my world of the ridiculous:

"Jack jumped over the electric blue fox - who was hunting down the orange cat - who was preying upon the stupid cockroach that was having an identity crisis - and believed he was a popular dragonfly down at the local Irish pub - because he sang Irish songs everyone loved and wrote some damn good poetry.

The orange cat circled back to chase the identity crisis cockroach - who just knew he was really Irish in a former life - while the blue fox preened and bathed in the fast-paced lights of the nightclub – this fox enthusiastically embraced blue as the new fashion neutral - it was Jack who was looking for the weird alien orange cat that kept eluding him - who was stalking the brave Irish-singing cockroach determined to make it to Broadway.

The powerful-singing cockroach drowned out the elegant Irish pub-singing dragonfly - and soon the people customers complained about the strange odd noises blaring from the rising platform – it was two ants standing on a leaf singing opera - and more ants joined them from the audience singing 49 Bottles of Guinness Beer on the Wall and Get Down Tonight! – and soon the nightclub was jumping and bumping - and the people were dancing and squishing and splatting the friendly ants - who got the place hopping on a Saturday night in the first place."

Brain: Sensation versus Perception - Visual Illusions

Sensation versus Perception - Visual Illusions -

"We are not aware of objects themselves but of neural signals about them that are transmitted through our nerves. Perception is a dynamic cognitive process of interpreting information.

It is also learned and is an interpretative process which is subject to influence of other psycho-physiological processes such as emotion, motivation and culture."

Simple Energy and Money Saving Ideas

Simple Energy and Money Saving Ideas: "Each year, homes in America waste approximately thirteen billion dollars in energy—translating to about one-hundred fifty dollars per family. A significant amount of energy consumption can be reduced on a national level just by making minor adjustments around the house that are low-cost or no-cost. These changes can add up to substantial savings over time."

Dragonfly Art

Dragonfly Art: "Dragonflies are one of the things I enjoy the most. Not only do I collect them, I also have a purple dragonfly tattoo on my left shoulder blade.

My Great-grandmother once told me if a dragonfly lands on you, it is good luck. Then again, her daughter, (my grandmother), always told us when we were little that dragonflies would sew your lips shut! I always knew better, but it was funny to hear her say that!"

From Denny: Some science facts told with humor from an admirer of dragonflies!

Self Help - Blasting Through Your Belief Barriers:

"... You need this information to help you understand... understand what you are missing. Because you have lingering:

Uncertainities about your life and living.

You have fears gripping you rendering you incapable of perfect action.

You have indecisiveness.

You probably have hopelessness.

You probably don't know what to do or how to get out of your debilitating circumstances..."

Astronomy: Child of the universe

Child of the universe: "You gaze at the stars on a warm balmy evening. There is silence, not a thing to be heard. You fill with wonder.

It’s so huge up there. You feel insignificant, a speck, nothing. Surely we're not alone, there must be life out there?"

Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine

Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine - "OK, so what does the minor political rant have to do with food as medicine you ask? Plenty. When jobs are scarce or people are underemployed – like most of America right now with 100,000 each week entering those unhappy ranks – people make really bad food choices.

Because of job and ensuing financial stress they go to sugar, lots of carbohydrates and low quality meats. With stress on the rise during this tough economic time worldwide, wallets and bank accounts depleted, it’s time to think of food as medicine."

Is Astrology a Science?

Is Astrology a Science?: "The question is whether astrology can be considered to be a science, or is more akin to spirituality and faith. In this respect, I will use the strict definitions of what constitutes science, looking at the scientific method and the entire philosophy underpinning the very nature of science itself. This is not an attempt to debunk astrology, but to show that it is not a science, by any definition of the word."

Science and Religion - The Ethical Dilemma

Science and Religion - The Ethical Dilemma: "There is little doubt that science has improved the quality of human life, but the focus is now shifting to whether this progress needs a counterweight. Technological advances are unrecognisably and irreversibly changing human culture. The question is now about whether humanity, and its moral code, is lying forgotten on the road of discovery."
