| Human intelligence - Winging it? |
Guess everyone has heard the saying that "the more you run over a dead cat the flatter it gets" (listen, listen it's just a form of speech, an idiom - you do not have to go out and verify it - OK!!). Ever wonder who comes up with thoughts like that?
Bizarre thinking has always held a strange fascination for me. "Unusual" ideas and thoughts, lodged out there somewhere between the absurd and the profound, are really quite abundant; you encounter them almost every day.
'Course there just may be an evolutionary explanation underlying our penchant for peculiar thinking....
Read recently that it has been confirmed that the common potato [spelled with an "e" if you're a Dan Quayle Republican] has more genes than a human being! That means the common potato has more genetic options than all of us (and more personality than a few of us.)
So, it's pretty clear to me that if Darwin was correct, we are all slowly evolving into spuds! Potatoes evidently are the "higher, "robust" order" to which we all now aspire!
Explains a lot of things when you think about it, doesn't it! Also gives a whole new range and depth of meaning to phrases such as "couch potato" and "I can't take my eyes off of you".
Guess with that future in mind, would like to take a moment to salute the "robust" senior leadership at NCUA, who whipped-up the deep-fried farce, the 2+ year mish-mash affectionately known among credit unions as RBC (russet-based capital). You're definitely...
a-head
of your time!!
[... and without question half-baked !!!]

Your analysis of the potato and its far reaching implications once again shows your wide range of thought and your unique ability to pull something from the abyss and make some sense of it.
The mention of potato always makes one think of those who are half-baked and I cannot help liken that thought to those at CUNA and their take on RBC. Rather than taking the hard stance shown by NAFCU and stating that the proposal is riddled with questions of legality and should be withdrawn, they instead are their wishy-washy ineffective potato heads.
I guess its like the recent comment from the former Big Spud at CUNA who claims the CFPB would be a lot worse to deal with had he not been around to get "significant" changes to Dodd-Frank. Thank you Jesus.
A few years from now the current Potato-In-Charge will be saying the same thing about RBC and that without him no changes would have been made.
At least the Burger at NAFCU has enough starch in his backbone to tell it like it is.
But alas Swami, how many really care? How many are willing to take a stand and be more than just a little potato in a big sack? Certainly not those who believe the speak for the masses of potatoes in the field.
I cannot continue my rant for all this talk about potatoes has made me hungry.
Sir, would you like cheese with that rant?
