Because Gary Busey, Pet Judge, is, er, a thing these happy days.
Then again there are days when you know that the heat death of the Universe cannot come too soon.

Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.

You’ll never convince me that the G-man ain’t nuckin’ futz.
Gerard,
Nothing, but NOTHING tops Gary Busey’s ad for the Amazon Fire Stick:

“Helllllo pants 👖 ” 😆
And amazingly, my wife’s cousin has an Amazon Fire Stick for his TV, and when you do your best Gary Busey impression and roar “FIND GARY BUSEY!!!!!!” at it, it will, in fact, find Gary Busey movies for you to watch. 👍🏻
This universe is played out and has nothing of value left to offer, as it has been completely ruined by the monsters also known has human beings. If God starts again I hope he knows better and decides golden retrievers will be the dominant beings on the new planet.
I want my 43 seconds back.
Dr. Rachel Levine at second 40. She has a monkey on her back.
Waiting for the Case of the Michigan Cat Burglar to come before the Pet Judge:
“A Michigan man has been arrested after he allegedly broke into a home, pointed a gun at a man’s head and demanded he give him two cats. The 52-year-old man, who has yet to be identified, is facing home invasion and felonious assault charges, according to the Laurium Police Department. . . . The alleged victim told police he woke up to a gun pointed at his head and the suspect demanding he give him the two cats that were at the residence. . . . Police said the suspect left the house with one of the felines. . . . He was later apprehended and police found a cat in the area but it is unclear if it was the stolen animal.”

A case guaranteed to keep Olive sharpening her claws and make Gary Busey even crazier than he is already.
Clearly, a death penalty case to be judged by my spirit animal.
