SDS = Smoking Dem Sausages

Had a gathering of the neighborhood renegade insurgency and put our platform in place via Cause and Effect from the White Stripes.

First came an action
And then a reaction
But you can’t switch ’em around
For your own satisfaction.

I heard on the radio (so it must be true) that knitting is subversive. That to me translates as anything that you do yourself, that is done for the pleasure of doing it, that is not a response to marketing and acquisition, is subversive. I buy that vantage, so to speak, cause I didn’t have to buy it. Subversion is free.

In every complicated situation
There’s the human relation
Makin’ sense of it all
Takes a whole lot of concentration.

You do have to shell out a bit for brats, buns and burning.

When you people robbin’ Peter
Don’t blame Paul
Can’t take the effect
And make it the cause

Stone soup, also known as button, ax, wood or nail soup, makes the best feast. It ain’t free, but gives the illusion.

You can’t take the effect
And make it the cause
I didn’t rob a band
Because you made up a law

The beacon of yellow mustard. The light of the moon reflected off the bottle and gave our table a lovely, supernatural glow. Carbon footprint reduction right there.

Well you can’t blame the baby
For her pregnant ma
And if there’s one of these
Unavoidable laws
It’s that you can’t take the effect
And make it the cause

Oh, just obliterated that reduction of carbon footprint. Scale tipping up again.

I guess you have to have a problem
If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck
Then you put me in traction.

Making your own music?! Now that’s subversive. Didn’t spend a cent and that ain’t all.

I ain’t sayin’ I’m innocent
In fact the reverse
But if you’re headin’ to the grave
You don’t blame the hearse

Yup, no kidding. If you’re gonna shake things up, you gotta take it upon yourself. A little Friday night front porch DIY. An evening of “hesitatin’, aggravatin’ beauty”. Amen.
