Fight the Red Gas Menace! (4.00 / 5)

Beans. Lots and lots of beans!

Red Beans. White Beans. Soldier Beans. Pinto Beans.

Britain vows to become independent of the import of gaseous products.

A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run

Re: Fight the Red Gas Menace! (4.00 / 4)

After the failure of revolution in Germany in 1848 Marx and Engles were trying to analyze the reasons for the failure and a possible solution. They feared that the peasantry had been enervated by a diet that relied too much on potatoes. One of them reportedly exclaimed: "It's beans that will nourish our peasantry to a vigorous and manly disposition!" Alas, just so much gas.

If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.
