My mental state would be much improved if I could stop singing

“Ollie Ollie Ollie get your adverbs here.
Misty Max and Cholly* selling adverbs here.”

My gift to you…join me in insanity.

*It’s a regional thing. The elder members of my extended family pronounced Charlie as Cholly. The newest generation doesn’t. It’s a bit sad, really.

So WM is watching the end of Dogma last night. Kevin Smith movies only mildly intrigue me*…so I wasn’t paying attention as the barrage of foul language and over-the-top sexual chatter flowed forth into my formerly dignified living room.

Anyway…the credits roll. And I see Betty Aberlin as the nun.

Betty Aberlin. LADY ABERLIN from MISTER ROGERS! She played a NUN in this raunchy little romp.

At first, I prayed that Mr. Rogers was dead and decomposed by the time this movie was filmed. No go. Dogma was released in 1999. He died in 2003. So he was alive to see Lady Aberlin end up playing a NUN in a FILTHY-MOUTHED movie. The bile that bubbled up from knowing that Lady Aberlin shared a soundstage with Jay and Silent Bob probably caused his stomach cancer.

OK…gotta calm down. Happy place….

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?

What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

It’s great to be able to stop
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:

I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.

OK. I feel better. I forgive you, Lady Aberlin.
