Great Uncle Chris here: BTW, Why is it not grand uncle? I too have that song stuck in my skull (Media Man by Flash in the Pan). Alexa, God help me, is playing it as I write. I may try to drive it out by having it (Alexa) play Margaritaville by the newly dead Jimmy Buffet, although I suspect this will a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Anyhow, on behalf of myself and my teammates, thanks for the shoutout. I haven't been playing ball recently due to having a pacemaker installed to make my heart beat faster. Tomorrow, though, my mates and I will stand in mufti outside the church where the funeral of the founder of the Worcester's senior softball league will be held. Macabre or respectfully cute? I don't know. Also, I love your observation that "Every joke is a tiny revolution". Incentivizes me to actually learn a joke or two. Also love too, your observation that people who do Crossfit wish they were trucks. Keep writing and Great Aunt Norma and I will keep reading.
I do fear Margaritaville may be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Btw, sitting here watching the U.S. Open... they could use some of the spirit of the Worcester league!
“‘Joy,’ Nietzche writes, ‘has no need of heirs or children— Joy wants itself, wants eternity…’ Joy, like eroticism, is a ‘psychological quest’ as Bastille has it, ‘independent of the natural goal’: jouissance over procreation.”
LOVED this - and also hoping I can borrow Animal Joy ASAP

The idea of you telling everyone (word for word):
“‘Joy,’ Nietzche writes, ‘has no need of heirs or children— Joy wants itself, wants eternity…’ Joy, like eroticism, is a ‘psychological quest’ as Bastille has it, ‘independent of the natural goal’: jouissance over procreation.”
