I tell you intelligence is a curse. Look

  • I tell you intelligence is a curse. Look at me. I used to be among the heavenly host, looked upon with favor by the Almighty, but I could see that Eden could be so much more if
  • there was only one of those Skandia amusement park. But because I had my own original thought I was thrown out of Eden on my ear. Shucks. Excuse me for thinking.
  • We are not supposed to think critically, but its the status quo at Folding Story. It still is, almost three years later. Critical thinking was the forgotten component of education
  • Students today expected each answer to arrive as fast a Google search with 2 inch high friction shoes. They've lost the mind to do arithmetic unless it involves likes or a slide
  • whistle. Well, to be accurate, they wanted TEST answers that quickly. Teachers want volunteerism right away. That's how capitalism works. But I'm not a capitalist--I'm a flamingo!
  • "I'm sure you are," said Nurse Ratched with death-like calm in her voice, "but at Fairview, we expect you to keep you head right-side up when you eat, even if you are a flamingo."
  • Chief Bromden stood statue-like. Cheswick was the first to curse, “Damn you, Nurse Ratched! Mac is not a flamingo!” “Mr. Cheswick, “Nurse Ratched’s death-like calm turned into rage
  • as a lobotomized McMurphy slumped, drooling. “I know Mr. McMurphy’s NOT a flamingo, Mr. Cheswick,” said Nurse Ratched as she placed a pointy hat on his head. ”He’s a garden gnome!”
  • McMurphy was beyond such an ignominious end. The attendants walked the drooling McMurphy to stand in the garden. His pointy hat did little to curtail the rain. His frontal lobe
  • had been removed some time back, so that explained a lot. And so he stood in the rain, just staring at nothing in particular. Some say he's still standing there to this very day.

    A little disjointed, but still pretty coherent, in an incoherent sort of way. :)
