Well hello all you little cat’s and Kittens out there, I know it’s been a long time since I “posted” posted. Yes I been throwing up (?lol) chapters of LT, but there has been a ton of cultural/political/social shit happening and I been silent on it all…I know, I know, well actually of course I have a f-ing huge back log and some things are so topical (and I have been so busy) that much of the “pencil” outlines, as it were never see the light of the computer screen. Ya know ’cause my little couple paragraph rants always spin out of control lol…
Ahh but this morning I am presented with something I can make quick work of…oh it is to laugh here is a quote off of one of my “friends” f-book posts
Okay well I have blocked out the names(just after the first block is the word I)…even though I don’t actually care whether or not they find out I am mocking them…if I posted something like this I guess I’d expect to be mocked also. I know (and I actually literally do know in this instance) that the people in question consider them selves green friendly(after all they buy all the “right” new products), still edgy and alternative (like all their friends), in support of many of the most liberal agendas (regular updates on hoodie issues etc) including a deep and abiding(so they say) compassion for the poor (as they and their girl friends drive by them in a new Toyota Highlander Hybrid, on their way to a movie they’re pretty sure they are not going to hate, a little tipsy from the forty dollar wine they started “girls night out” with)
And people wonder how these crap movies keep gettin made.
My New Movie Review…”well it wasn’t as bad as a kick to the crotch, I’ll give ‘em that”…oh I mean it is to laugh
Anyway, that’s all this morning, runnin super late already lol. Chapter 14 coming, and I promise I’ll get to all yer groovalicious posts tonight….
Thanks all
Kreative Blogger Award Part 1
April 30, 2012
Oh it is to laugh Cat’s & kittens…hey it’s me yer ol friend the Dysfunctional Unit…and ya know I’ d been working on this Kreative Blogger video fer about a week kept tweaking it, never quite happy, all the while, in the mean time
of course, continuing to write other crap, continue to be plagued and haunted by shit I hear comin out my TV while I sit here tap, tap ,tappin away…
Anyway so I was startin a new post about some crazy ass shit…and well if you’ll bear with me let me lay it out this way…
See I’ve noticed three particular trends lately.
First separate and beyond the recent Trayvon Martin shooting there has been a tremendous amount of news lately focusing on race relations and even more so on how African Americans still deal with tremendous social pressures up to and including killings, at the hands of white people. Over the last three episodes of “Sunday Morning” on CBS, we have carefully reexamined the Rodney King LA incident (I know, I know, it was the ten year anniversary) as well as almost other news programs on all other channels, and the definite intention of all this attention has been to relate it to Trayvon and to remind white people they are inherently racist and other African Americans that whitey still wants to keep them, at best, bound to a life of abject servitude.
Next this whole bullying phenomenon, I mean not a somehow vast increase in bullying (though I have seen studies lol)…I mean this constant discussion of bullying, the media focus, the movie, just the word repeated over and over again, bullying, bullying, bullying…Why…I mean okay I know I know, it’s fer the chil’ren, jes wanna protect the chil’ren…okay bear with me here oh most astute and diligent reader, I’ll tie it altogether in my own inimitable fashion…
Lastly and of course not leastly is the whole OWS group and their supporters, including the media which continues a relentless anti capitalist, anti corporate (which of course makes my little dog spin because aren’t media conglomerates capitalistic corporations)anti bank, gas companies, stock market, and rich white conservative, campaign…
See here’s what happens I begin to hear…inklings…random feedback comin from many different sources…..my lil dog spins round and round chasin these various “firefly” ideas yippin and yappin…it’s jes that once in awhile he catches one and comes up with somethin’
Here’s what I’ve come up with…Trayvon Martin…Rodney King…all the attention…it is to remind white American that we still are a racist bunch of bastards (and bitches excuse me ladies fer leavin you out, though most assuredly [if you are not already planning to vote for the Pres] this “campaign” is designed to sway you) , to make many of us feel guilty, maybe, jes maybe it will be enough to sway a number of middle of the road voters over to President Obama’s side in the upcoming election…
During the campaign, when ever the Presidents record or lack of accomplishments, or failure to solve the nations problems are being used against him in debates, in conservative medias, or in new countless social media forums, they are going to claim that the other side (of course I mean the mean spirited rich environment, old folk, kid, race hating republicans are just bullies…they’re all just bullies. Bullying poor President Obama, after all none of this is his fault, his or his parties fault, it is Bush, Bush and his evil henchmen that have caused so much trouble with their illegal wars and i mean if it wasn’t fro Pres Obama, his leadership and firm guidance of course we would be so much worse off. And to suggest other wise is just bullying and you know it…
And ya know, if that doesn’t work well…I mean the whole system must be broken, if somehow a republican wins that means the banks and evil corporations have somehow rigged the election, screwing the black man once again and bullying the American people and hell if the OWS and all of their support groups are gonna take that…it will be time for action my brothers, time to take to the streets, and strike at the “man”, or any near by white person as an acceptable stand in…Rioting, looting, death and…martial law? (I readily admit that this idea is not fully, or originally mine but is a common theme in conservative media that I have adapted in my dysfunctional way)
It is like a blue print put forward by a community organizer (activist/instigator depending I guess). Now who do we know that fits that role…Okay well I’m of
course being rhetorical….but here’s where I guess it fits in with the whole kreative blogger award…
See like I was workin on somethin completely different (and not quite gettin it right due to my ideas and attempts beginning to outpace both my abilities and the software’s lol) but this morning. hearing these three subjects addressed first on Sunday Morning, then on “Face the Nation” (Please Bob retire already) suddenly the whole picture came together in my mind and I jumped up from the computer and began to ramblerant the whole thing to Lil’ Mouse who was trying to watch the latest episode of Ricky Gervais on HBO (go Karl!).
I had to get ready for work, knew I needed to at least start the draft (so I wouldn’t ferget the whole thing by the time I got home) so I was trying to give her just the basic jist of my idea…
After about two and a half minutes she looked at me and said oh so sweetly “You should use that for your kreative blogger award, ’cause it is certainly took some creative thinking to come up with.”
She, in her own special loving way meant it sarcastically of course, but to my dysfunctional brain it was like I saw the whole thing suddenly so perfectly that I sat down and wrote the meat of this post in about five minutes (usually my posts might take a day or two to compose lol).
Anyway of course, here I am now late on Sunday night, tryin like hell to wrap up what has become now ‘Part 1‘ of my Kreative Blogger Award post but still feeling positive about my strange theory on these three seemingly disparate (premeditatively generated?) social obsessions and my acknowledgement, that as Lil Mouse pointed out as far as the dysu posts are concerned, this is my most oft exhibited kreative ability…oh it is to laugh…
Remember I am not stating that I am right that this is going to happen, only that the possibility of these being linked can be logically argued given the fully acknowledged end desires and the extremely capable abilities of the President and his re-election staff, his appointees, advisers and supporters in this “game(of thrones[HBO])”.
If not for the fact that there are times I am right in these mad prognostications (one of the reasons I decide to start this blog) or for the fact that I feel pretty confident about my reasoning on at least two of the three (I’ll leave it to you to guess which)
And of course it is now early Monday, I need to be up in a little over five hours, and I will need at least an hour to relax and come down after finally gettin this posted (lolsidc) but f n’ a everyone I believe part 1 is done…
I will continue with part two where I nominate my seven pics fer Kreative Blogger…
Oh yea and reveal seven-ish things you maybe surprised to learn about me…
the Dysfunctional Unit
Great Scott America
April 17, 2012
Well okay..well..I mean F ‘n A everybody so I’ve written a lot about the state of our Federal Government, I mean probably only a little less than I have written about how women are ruining America (“Wha…wha…wha…what?”
you the reader ask…look I don’t have time to go back and re cover every crazy thing I have ever said…go back here and look it up…today I got bigger fish on my mind…today I’m kind’a pissed off…
Look so by now if you are paying any attention at all you know that the General Services Administration or GSA just spent a whopping $8000,000 (+) on planning and vacation(s) fer 300
employee’s….that’s the easy breezy cover girl version tryin to review all the different facets, facts, well in the long run it just made me too pissed off to continue…and then of course my little dog starts spinning and I start looking up all this info on the fed.gov websites and I read all the new age hoo doo ass bullshit and my little dog spins round and round(here’s where Lil’ Mouse usually tells me “to just stop lookin’”) and well…well…well it is to laugh really.
Cause I know nothin’s gonna change…oh some of us will get mad and blog about it(most of course, much more professionally than the ol Dysu)…there will be investigations (themselves well topping the 800,000 price tag of the VV.) Some heads will roll, careers cut short (or in some cases just diverted)…but the system itself, the great and mighty machine will keep rollin along…
See ’cause ya know what else I know is that we got just a small glimpse, a peek behind the curtain, but thank God we did, and in this instance thank God fer Social Media, the magicians keep F’n up because of social media, the slight of hand is hard to pull off when you keep posting gloating pictures of how you fleeced the marks

Credited to http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics
But of course I digress ’cause my real point is so the F what? So what if they did? And I’m sure ol’ smiley in the tub here is thinkin’ the same thing, I mean it wasn’t but six months or so that we were hearin’ this story
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is the subject of a report on the stock investments of members of Congress that is to air Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”…
I know, I know old news, the worlds movin’ too fast, too fast to keep up and hell there’s so only so much time and I mean after all there’s all those HBO programs to keep up with, and isn’t Charlie Sheen gettin a new sitcom…
That’s what I mean by nothin’s gonna change. And there was a brief moment a year or two back when I first heard about the Tea Party…”Yea, here we go” I thought, but go to their website and all you see is talk about working with-in the system to change it…oh ho ho…oh it is to laugh….
I think the idea started good, but it was co-opted by politicios…okay what do I mean…Go look at their site…lot’s of talk, little action..okay again I guess clarification..
Better yet, here’s what I propose, tax revolt, we all go into our boss, or accountant(s) and claim all the dependents we can, then when tax time comes next year don’t fill out one document, let April 15th come and go without feelin’ bad or worryin. Every time you do start to feel a twang of guilt just picture this guy again
And yea, that might not work fer yer situation, I mean normally I get a refund so that’s the way I could do it but, you might be in a higher tax bracket than me (lol like that would be hard) what I mean is if enough of us say ya know what we ain’t paying anymore till you get yer crap together well what are they gonna do, jail a million people, jail ten million people…now that’s a Tea Party Movement I can get behind
Wait I’m sorry what…What about the roads? What about old people? What about the poor? Well what I believe is we’re Americans, we can figure it out without the help of the money wasters in Washington ( I mean not me but one of you out there, ya don’t want me in charge, I’m no better at making important decision than obviously most of our government officials). I mean it’s coming my fellow Americans the pace of growth by our federal government is fiscally unsustainable. I may not be good at practical application of these concepts, but I understand them quite well…and well ya know I know, and I hope I’m not throwin off yer good mood fer later when you sit down to watch “Two Broke Girls” or what the fuck ever…I mean I hate ta bring this shit up…
Oh no…that’s right…I love to bring this shit up
File Under Fun
April 13, 2012
Okay so hi de ho neighbors…ya know though the Dysu is all about ranting over cultural and social issues, politics and religion…I do a lot of other types of writing…not jes here on WP but elsewhere on the net…and I’ve been so
…um…ranty..lately I thought we’d take a fun break and I would put up one of the other little things I like to do…write reviews…a great place fer hyperbolic sarcasm and wit…Anyway, I was searchin out some songs on Zune and came across one of my favorite compilation CD’s and noticed that the reviewer had lumped some of my best loved “teen” songs into the novelty song category. As the “Dude” would say “This aggression will not stand man”
The mistake he made was that the early punk movement of the late seventies early eighties (fer the uninitiated bands like Devo the Sex Pistols, Clash, TH, Dead Boys, B-52′s, were all Punk Rock until about ’81, ’82 ish…that’s when the term “New Wave” really took off and the two types of music split into enemy camps lol) contained a lot of kitschy one hit wonders and kitschy bands (like the B-52′s) who’s whole act was the joke…this is not to be confused with say “Dwarf Tossin!” which can be found on this disc, but was in no way comparable to say “Teen-Age Enema Nurses in Bondage” by Killer Pussy a true obscure hit from the late seventies…anyway I’ve added some video and links to the WP version to share with you some of my favorites…enjoy
If you were lucky enough to be around the Los Angeles area in the late ’70′s you got to hear all of these great songs and more on KROQ radio…this album has some very obscure hits…and some real duds I can’t figure out why they included, but the ability to get some great songs you can’t find anywhere else (as far as I know) makes up for the fact that 1/3 of the album are simply throw away songs. All right so here we go…
Kinko the Clown: I’m not going to bother writing out the band’s name as it would take up a large section of the review. This band had a number of hits…including a Kinko Returns so that sick ol Kinko get’s to bracket the disc. Still maybe the best thing about them was their name, right up there with early (Mystic Knights of the) Oingo Boingo. Amazingly enough this song played regularly on the radio as did our next hit…
Teen-Age Enema Nurses in Bondage: Okay yea well this song by Killer Pussy was a huge hit, it played a lot…I was never super fond of it, but judging from some of the other songs on the disc it rates a few stars for amount of air play given to a song about enemas and it has a hard punky quality that sets it apart from some of the lesser tracks…(plus the bands named Killer Pussy)
Funky Poodle: This song by Wild Horses, (no not Stallions that was Bill & Ted’s band) might be my favorite on the disc..Not just ‘cause the near homeless guy gets sex coke and cash from some crazy broad in a limo, but because she was really, after all, just looking fer her poodle..or was she? Song’s funky reggae beat serves it well and it was also a regular hit on KROQ. (I’m gonna include a lame YouTube video [really just the song and a blurry shot of the album cover] just ’cause I love this song so much…hope ya enjoy it as much)
Pajama Party: I’ll give ‘em this song for nostalgia only. The first time I heard the song I believe was the Rodney on the ROQ show…Otherwise it’s a pretty annoying song…well I, mean okay girls love it…but they love My Pretty Pony and Swifter Mops so…Like TENB by Killer Pussy this song by Unit 3 with Venus was a one hit (semi)wonder
The Earthquake Song: I personally did not remember this song by The Little Girls until I listened to the disc…it was never as popular as some of the other songs but did get some airplay on KROQ.
Dwarf Tossin!: I mean…don’t even ask me why this song was included it diminishes the other songs by suggesting that they are (as another reviewer suggested) all novelty songs. This song is not the worst song on the disc…but it is a bad choice due to its heavy amount of suckiness
Buffy Come Back: This song by Angel & the Reruns was another one hit wonder that played on early KROQ a lot. It’s kitschy qualities are nearly unmatched as the song is a “honorarium” of sorts for the child star who played Buffy in the popular TV series “Family Affair”
Time is a Tick… Not a novelty song…just a bad one..it was a precursor for fans of this new music of what was about to come…lame new wave…
See You On The Other Side: A good song by Brian Briggs, again not a novelty song…wasn’t meant to be a novelty song and played a hell of a lot on early KROQ radio…In fact it wasn’t long after this song started getting play that the new mod faction sprang up out of the punk movement in So Cal(just a little after Stray Cats and the new Rock-a-billies[or is that vers-vicea])
Harley David (Son of a Bitch)…See review for Time…above
Ronnie’s Song: I don’t know if this song was meant to be a novelty or not…but I do know we loved this one hit wonder from LAX, a staple in KROQ’s rotation, as much as we hated Ronald Reagan…
Urban Struggle: Out of all the songs on the disc, this song by The Vandals was a huge hit, it got by far more air time than any of the other songs, and the band was a great punk band with a string of hits and great albums…to consider it a novelty song in line with say “Dwarf Tossin” just stuns me and makes me wonder about the individuals who put together this compilation…But anyway Urban Struggle a song about a guy who couldn’t make it as a punker so he decides to become an urban cowboy is a great lead in to this song…
Cow Punk: This song may be credited to Scott Goddard, but it will be remembered as a song by the Surf Punks…This song did get a lot of airplay, as did the SP’s Goddard’s first band, they had a couple big songs (my favorite Shark Attack) but as far as I know this semi hit was his(their) last…
Rodeo Song:…uh…I…um really. It just doesn’t fit, I mean…even Dwarf Tossin’ is a semi-punk (new wave) song…this..it was like they stopped trying…even if I wanted this song…this version of it sucks a*#…It’s so bad if I could, I would somehow take it off my copy of the disc…just scratch it right off…that’s how bad this song is…really
Kinko Returns: Okay, well this song is like the little brother of your friend who always wants to tag along, I mean it’s okay, but it really is pointless without the first song, I mean I guess it’s okay that they include both, it’s not a bad little song, maybe since they were throwin in extra Ogden Edsel Blues Ensemble Wahalia Mondo Bizzario Band they could have left out the RS and gave us Dead Puppies…
Prognosticatin’ Predilectively
March 20, 2012
Okay so yea, even though I’m postin my novel, working on another one, posting (at least sometimes) to the other blog I work on, posting old poems,writing and posting new poetry, it is really this blog which features my
(admittedly strong[arguably crazy]) opinions on culture, society, religion, taxes, and politics (a lot of f-in politics…) that is my real love.
I don’t know why, just the way my brain chemicals function I guess.
But I don’t just talk it I mean, I listen, in my own fashion, take it in, news of all sorts, political, cultural, science, medicine, religion…and not just news but history, I love history of all sorts, w
atched hours of documentaries, read, read, and more reading…even in the heights of my drug fueled madness, the other dude’s I ran with thought I was weirdo(even among the dysfunctional I was dysfunctional) because of my obsession for all of the above (as well as writing the amount of fights I got into for writing lol)…
Anyway sometimes once in awhile I get a flash. They don’t always come true don’t get me wrong, I’m not sayin I’m psychic (much) or anything, its’ just my little dog…in my brain…have I not mentioned him?
Okay well I know that sounds weird but again, anyway, here’s what hit me yesterday.
All this saber rattling going on right now in Iran…seems kind’a silly I know, I know…but many Americans, and certainly the Israelis are taking their statements of wanting to become a nuclear power, and wiping Israel and America off the map, very seriously. The more Pres. Ahmadinejad speaks the more nervous many of the people in the region, and in America become.
Now I like many intelligent thinking people can’t really see Iran launching nukes at Israel, and yes it may all just be political posturing, a power play for Iran to gain some sort of respectability among it’s allies for standing up against the great Satan (just a cultural side note, we the infidels of the great Satan, United States of America, are known world wide as the culturally insensitive and intolerant ones[?or so we are told again and again by our media, our media stars, many of our politicians and most of the adults teaching our children?oh it is to laugh) Wow anyway that is way off track...
Here’s what I’m predicting, now, let me remind you that I have already predicted that Gabrielle Gifford will be heavily involved in Obama’s run, possibly (my guess)even v.p. candidate….but that has nothing to do with Iran now does it?
No what I am predicting regarding Iran is a serious escalation through-out the early summer of ramped up threats and saber rattling by Iran and Pres. Ahmadinejad, we might even see a second “bay of pigs” scenario play out, ya know threats of war and the nuclear clock and the the stage is set for Pres. Obama, who is certainly struggling in the polls, to swoop in and save the day…And yes, I know that I am suggesting that our own govt(secret govt with little g) is assisting(and or fomenting) rebellion in Iran for the purpose of later defusing(or appearing too) said threat.
Geez I mean hell, I try not to buy into too many One World Government Conspiracy theories but Mr. Obama, you’re making that very hard.
The trick isn’t whether I can trust you, or so many of the politicians, both right and left, who, like you believe in a theory of Centralized Planning, (of the ruling monied elite ruling a system of fairness for everyone but yourselves) the trick is in deciphering the truth through the ultimate layers of obfuscating bullshit…
Lol I don’t really, of course, think that is possible. But once in awhile my lil dog catches his tail, and comes up with something..usually, as in this case, it becomes a question of “If I were he what would I do” not necessarily if I were in that position, but if I were that other person in this situation, get it..
Anyway, with Gabrielle Gifford as his running mate, having lowered fuel prices(till 2013 muha-ha-ha[evil laugh]), and brought peace and accord to the Middle East Pres Obama will guarantee himself a second term.
But hey it may not happen this way…what do I know I’m Dysfunctional.
