Forget the comet. It just hit me. Err, that is to say- an idea hit me, not the comet.

Anyhoo here's what needs to happen. Everyone in the US needs to believe that they're in a Marx Brothers musical.

Everybody's havin' a good time, everyone has a part, everyone knows their lines. We're all workin' together. Why, there's cooperation and teamwork in the chaos of the most frenetic scenes.

There's a plot, but nothing- nothing at all is taken seriously and Groucho makes us laugh.

Here's how it will work- Virtual reality helmets will be mailed to all Americans. When they put on these helmets- which cover their head 360 degrees- a mild hallucinogenic gas will be released into the helmet, and then the movie will begin- Animal Crackers, made in 1930. The helmet will provide a fully-immersed VR experience, with high resolution VR goggles and 5 channel surround sound. The ultimate effect after an hour or so of this will be that the person will believe that they are a character in Marx Brothers film, and they will remain in this altered state of mind for an extended period of time- 15 or 16 years, somethin' like that.

Of course there are some kinks to be worked out, not the least of which is the financing and manufacture of 350 million or so VR helmets. Getting everyone to put on their helmet- you know that there will be stragglers.

Getting FDA approval on ummm acid light- hoo boy that's gonna be a bitch.

We'll have to close the borders, of course, cease all international flights. The rest of the world will think we're crazy.

So, what do you think? My idea is no crazier than the New Green Deal or most of the stuff coming from the left side of this nation. Mine just has a greasepaint moustache, that's all.

That's just crazy enough to work!

I still think we need the comet, though. Maybe after Groucho's performance, the helmets can simulate a comet strike?

H&K-Guy

How do we know when the movie is over? Or when the hallucinogen wears off?

Ohhh, I guess that's the point.

Everybody can't handle a utopia. At least not in your own version of the matrix.

But I'd give it a try.

Hooray for Captain Spaulding!

- also Groucho Marx

Can’t we just stuff everybody into Groucho’s stateroom from A Night at the Opera?

Atsa no good. You gotta have a Sanity Clause.

Sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than what's going on just now.....or a planet ending comet. I'm in.

Whenever they're manufactured, offer a Karma on a couple...I'm in for one!

Reminds me of what Irving Berlin said of Groucho:

"The world would not be in such a snarl, had Marx been Groucho instead of Karl".

the FDA has been making progress on Ketamine derivatives.....

Um Boss, you feeling ok? I mean, I'm glad you have a vision and all but any headaches?

Not a terrible idea. That said, I would venture to guess you’ve never actually fried on acid.
Unfortunately, about 12 hours later the ride ends and you sleep.
If you’re lucky you wake up and do it all over again.
Then someday you grow up, and become an upstanding member of society and wish you could go back to the stress free days of working a shit job that you don’t care about losing, and fry your balls off every night.
Then you look at your wife and the SxS in the garage, the guns and ammo ready to shoot in the morning and realize you wasted so much time and brain cells frying your ass off al, summer long when you were a dumbass kid.
lol. Yeah, most if this probably didn’t make sense.

I'm in, but somebody's got to teach me that leg-twist he does about 1:57.

If that won't work, please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Yeah, I know nothing about these things.

And, your specific guess was wrong as well.

Lemmee ask you- have you ever seen anyone watching a Marx Brothers film while pissed off? Huh? No, of course not. I rest my case. Thank you.

Suggestion, just Dems and RINOs. While they’re busy getting an attitude adjustment, the rest of us can fix most of the problems, get the debt in order and maybe get in a nap or two before they get back and figure out what happened. That way, too, if there are any permeant side effects from the “light acid” there’s no real loss to anyone that really counts. It’ll also reduce the cost unless you’ve got a discount worked out with someone.

Para, my apologies for making assumptions. I really would not have thought that you would have messed with things of this nature.
One thing to note, mushrooms are like beer. LSD is like Everclear.
That said, I have had two bad experiences in my youth, and both were from mushrooms.
I saw more and felt more with LSD. I freaked out more when I ate a bunch of shrooms and just didn’t feel right.
That said, you couldn’t pay me enough to drop acid again.

Once again, I apologize for making assumptions. I shouldn’t have been so short sighted and ignorant.
I blame the LSD. =)
