Another Guacomole Joke

This is an oldie but goodie, in the inimitable Guacomole style...
Some engineering students were sitting around discussing who might have designed the remarkable human body.

One student said, "It must have been an electrical engineer who designed the human body.  Consider the sophisticated communications and information processing systems formed by the brain and nervous system.

Another student said, "It must have been a mechanical engineer who designed the  human body.  Consider the reliable lifetime performance of the system of levers in the musculo-skeletal system.

The last student to speak said, "It must have been an architectural engineer who designed the human body.  Who else would run a toxic waste line through a recreation area?"

COOLINARY ADVENTURES Part Two: Amazing Ayurvedic Chef

Ayurvedic Chef and Siddhu, Krishna Johnny Brannigan

Krishna's Book with Recipes and Healing Approach

Krishna Johnny Brannigan noticed our Ayurvedic Gem sign and stopped by the booth.  The next day, he brought us the absolutely best tasting chicken tandoori that either of us have ever tasted. It turns out he was trained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation movement.  That is where he learned to be an ayurvedic chef, and also where he became a siddhu (teacher) of TM.  Cougina knew the Maharishi and many people in the movement, but, it seems, a few years before Krishna became involved, making for interesting conversation.

COUGINA - THE ULTIMATE FEMININE

1.	Cougina
	The genitalia of a woman over 40 years old. Mixture of the words cougar and vagina. Billy: "I got me some cougina last night." Johnny: "That's disgusting."

from the Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cougina

(Cougina has always said that he is The Ultimate Feminine. And I thought that was because he bitches a lot.  For the whole story, join Covina Hermiticia - email covina.hermiticia@att.net)

COOLINARY ADVENTURES Part One: Amazing Ant

Our next blog post will describe our meeting with the Vedic Chef, Krishna Johnny Branigan.  However, two days before having the good fortune to meet Krishna, we resorted to a crunchy taco lunch from Taco Bell.

The next morning, we looked down to see a fire ant carrying off a piece of shredded cheese. He moved slowly at first, stopping several times to assess his situation, apparently mulling over how to drag his load over the larger rocks.  Before long, he found the flattest path, and was able to drag the cheese 6 feet in a few minutes.  Pretty amazing.

As I write this, Cougina tells me that these are the real bad fire ants, not the little ones that we have in Texas that climb up in droves and bite you.  These are the larger ones that try to avoid you, but can make you dizzy with a few bites.  Hmm. I will be sure to continue to feed them, away from our booth, as C frequently recommends.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Certainly, by now you are aware that the primary principle of hermetics is balance, the centerpoint between right/wrong, good/evil, war/peace, etc. As the community's impsissimmi for North America, I spend several hours per day allowing communication between our continent's community and the communities on other continents. For several months, we have been aware that as many as a thousand children per day are starving to death in the horn of Africa. It really bothers me, when I purchase food and do not finish my plate. It bothers me even more when I recognize the amount of garbage disposed of in our country every day, that I assure you would feed a million people.

It is not your fault. No one has supplied the infrastructure through which we may even feed the hungry in the USA. Definitely not in Somalia or Kenya. However, as conscious people, it would behoove us to be aware that because we are on one end, or one particular spot in that circle of wholeness, within reason, we still have at least a conscious responsibility to the rest of that sphere.

I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, HOCK YOUR CAR, IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE SITUATION. (THE SITUATION MAY BE AS IT SHOULD.) HOWEVER, AN ABSOLUTE REPRESENTATION OF self THAT IS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH SELF WOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST SOME POSITIVE THOUGHTFORM ASPECT TOWARD SOLVING ONE OF THE MINOR PROBLEMS ON THIS PLANET. RESPONSIBILITY FOR self AUTOMATICALLY IMPLIES (FOR THE HERMETIC) SOME CONCERN FOR THE BIG SELF. THINK FOR A MOMENT: 29,000 CONFIRMED CHILD DEATHS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, AND IT HAS NOW REACHED 1,000 PER DAY.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AS A SUPPOSED SEEKER OF THE WHOLE, TO AT LEAST SUPPLY SYMPATHETIC THOUGHT TO THIS SITUATION.

This is also your responsibility to put self first, so that you may assist others. Your ability to discern and judge where self is in direct relationship to the whole is part and parcel of your development hermetically. Remember, my friends, do no harm without reason. Do good without fear. Love thy neighbor as thyself, and hunker down. We are only fifteen months away from the awareness of consciousness that we have waited for for so long.
