There's no way that's a '69S the rockers are all wrong.

Interestingly, most people don't know that Benjamin Franklin was the first to sketch out designs for the modern vacuum cleaner, based on DaVinci's earlier notes. Unfortunately, Franklin had not yet discovered electricity so his invention never was created. It was in 1876 that Mel Bissell re-discovered Franklin's work and designed his own vacuum cleaner. During the second world war, Hitler contracted Ferdinand Porsche to design the first "peoples vacuum" in order to keep the German houses tidy during the daylight bombings. (Hitler felt it would be a national embarrassment for the advancing allies to find the German houses dusty and unkempt.) Dr. Porsche used Bissell's technology that German spies had smuggled back to Germany, coupled with the VW engine and transmission technology. Unfortunately, all of his early attempts at a "Volkstaubsaugen" were unsuccessful. Prototype number one was a complete disaster, looking nothing like a vacuum cleaner, and was later declared to be a tank, the Sd. Kfz. 184. Prototype number two was slightly better. The improved engines were able to draw in so much air that they sucked the vacuum forward when in operation. This vacuum was finally declared to be an airplane, the Me 262 Schwalbe. By this time, the allies were getting pretty close to a full penetration of Germany, Hitler was locked away in this bunker with Eva, and Dr. Porsche decided that tidy homes were not as interesting as automobiles. As part of the division of the spoils of war, the USA received no only the V2 rocketry details and a truckload of scientists, but the much cherished vacuum cleaner technology was finally repatriated to America and given to Stanley Hoover to exploit and improve upon. It was the combination of the V2 technology, the German scientists, and the Bissell technology that led to the United States having the first vacuum on the moon in 1969.

Rockers? Are you looking at the right car? That 69S doesn't have rockers.

Besides, none of that new crap can compare to the rockers we had in '69. The rockers we had back then had soul. They cared, man. Not like this new Miley Cyris craphole those kids listen to.

Those who suspect that Gogar may be planning on burning our fair cities to the ground would be well-advised not to read this letter. They may discover that they are right. Some background is in order: Gogar has been teaching young children to parrot such quasi-tyrannical sentences as, "The rigors that Gogar's victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement." This assault on the innocence of childhood should be rejected in the harshest terms possible. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that to someone whose eyes are open, Gogar's constantly repeated mantra that anyone who disagrees with it is a potential terrorist is an insanely mentally deficient notion. By way of contrast, consider my personal mantra that Gogar is putting a huge amount of effort into squashing its self-doubt and hiding its flaws. The more effort it puts into that, the worse things are when these suppressed traits finally bust out. When that happens—and it will unmistakably happen—you should be sure to remember that if Gogar continues to make our lives an endless treadmill of government interferences while providing few real benefits to our health and happiness, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets.
Gogar asserts that everyone who scrambles aboard the Gogar bandwagon is guaranteed a smooth ride. That assertion is not only untrue but a conscious lie. Wherever you look, you'll see Gogar enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see it suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see it crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity. Okay, I admit that Gogar is being a pusillanimous tightwad just for the sake of being a pusillanimous tightwad. But I don't care what others say about Gogar. It's still overbearing, brain-damaged, and it intends to marginalize me based on my gender, race, or religion. Gogar says that character development is not a matter of "strength through adversity" but rather, "entitlement through victimization". You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. Whether you call it "jujuism", "immoralism", or "emotionalism", it is alive and well in Gogar's denunciations. It's what convinced me that one of Gogar's favorite tricks is to create a problem, then offer the solution. Naturally, it's always its solutions that grant it the freedom to engage in an endless round of finger pointing, never the original problem. Because Gogar is so caught up in trying to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that it purportedly aims to save, I'd like to conclude this letter by quoting to it the last line of R. M. Rilke's poem, "Archaic Torso of Apollo": "You must change your life." |
