POPSDallas police seek pudgy naked backyard dancer I wrote a poem a while back. It goes as follows. I tell my wife that our neighbor is nuts. Oh the strange things he does on our lawn! She laughs it off and doesn't believe me, 'cause he always waits till she's gone. SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN MY NEIGHBORS AREN'T HOME AND I'VE HAD A FEW JIGGERS OF GIN. I GO OUTSIDE AND DANCE IN THE BUFF AND JIGGLE AND GIGGLE AND GRIN. I don't live any where near Dallas. I swear! "Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther said police want to catch him before it escalates into something worse." They are most likely worried it will escalate into a neighborhood shindig. "Hey honey! John just called and wants to know if we would like to join him and Susan for a naked dance in Phil and Lauras backyard? I think the Jeffersons and Smiths are going to be there! Wanna go?"

POPSHow Absurd Is That? "Dr. Proulx and Dr. Heine described having 20 college students read an absurd short story based on “The Country Doctor,” by Franz Kafka. The doctor of the title has to make a house call on a boy with a terrible toothache. He makes the journey and finds that the boy has no teeth at all. The horses who have pulled his carriage begin to act up; the boy’s family becomes annoyed; then the doctor discovers the boy has teeth after all. And so on. The story is urgent, vivid and nonsensical. After the story, the students studied a series of 45 strings of 6 to 9 letters, like “X, M, X, R, T, V.” They later took a test on the letter strings, choosing those they thought they had seen before from a list of 60 such strings. In fact the letters were related, in a very subtle way, with some more likely to appear before or after others. he new research supports what many experimental artists have always insisted: at least some of the time, disorientation begets creative thinking."

POPSFrancis Scott Key Emerges from Grave, Demands His Poem Back "I need to get something off my chest, and I'd like you to write it down," he said. "Certainly, Mr. Key. Pleased to make your acquaintance," I told him, having decided to humor the guy. I was bored, and I was stuck on a train for the next hour, at least. He was dressed like a dandy and appeared to be harmless. "I assume you know who I am, and that I died long ago," he began. I nodded, and he continued, "You should know that we watch the living. We see everything." He proceeded to describe the present political drama in America with particular emphasis on the irrational fear of Barack Obama, "displayed in disparate, but decidedly loud segments of America's politically motivated," as he put it. He spoke of his observances like someone describing "Reality TV" to a person who had no idea what a television was.

POPSRidiculous and False Article: Francis Scott Key Emerges from Grave, Demands His Poem Back
It is so absurd to write that Francis Scott Key would advocate for President Barack Hussein Obama and be chummy with Karl Marx. Key was a member of The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color (a.k.a The American Colonization Society). Their goal was to emigrate all free blacks to Africa (see Liberia). The membership included Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, and Stephen Douglas. Supreme Court Justice Bushrod Washington (nephew of George), was elected as its president. The most distinguished members of ACS were all slaveholders. The ACS raised funds and purchased the Elizabeth which sailed to West Africa in 1820. As a slaveholder, aristocrat and member of the exclusive club, Wealthy White Male Property Owners, Key would probably smack Karl Marx with a copy of the Wall Street Journal for uttering, workers of the word unite . Key was an Evangelical Episcopalian and as such, he'd burn Marx at the stake for his views on religion.
