"Television, Snack Delivery, Alienation."
People are disturbed by this card, and stray from the holders of this sign en masse. The Gassy Squirrel points to all things fried, such as cheese sticks, pizza and chineese food. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Gassy Squirrel is a card of indolence, apathy, languor and....... well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for inner peace and an air freshener. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, and have someone deliver dinner to your doorstep. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity, and changing the chanel.
The Gassy Squirrel represents a dead eyed, once inspired person, who has now been beaten down by the world. This is a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing, but instead decides to watch a marathon of "MythBusters" followed by 3 hours of "The King of Queens".

About Khop
I'm an ordained minister who is also an atheist. I am very loyal, trusting and will give anyone a fair chance...... but if you betray that trust, I'll turn on you faster than you can say "Jack Robinson". I root for the underdog, even though he usually loses. When there is one person who everyone disagrees with, I find the need to back them up, emotionally.....even though most people usually disagree with them for a sound reason. I am thoroughly UNIMPRESSED by a college diploma. I've met far too many idiots who act better than everyone else in the world because they got one, yet they've done NOTHING of any importance. Money doesnt impress me either. Same deal. Besides-- most people with any real money only have it because they inherited it. Big fucking whoop. I think most of the people in this world dont wanna do the right thing-- they only wanna be right, if you follow me. Anybody who critiques any form of art is only fooling themselves of self importance. Art, like taste is subjective, and to say something you didnt create does or doesnt have merrit, is absurd. If you are a critic, either professional or recreational, do the world a favor and shoot yourself now. Preferably in the crotch so your kind cant reproduce. Sometimes I feel alone in middle of parties. I often get bored with the status quo, but I dont care to have people change themselves into something fake. I think most people like being used, and are willing to give up everything of true importance to their core being, only to be rewarded with plastic, metal, and paper trinkets. Almost everyone is a victim of political doublespeak, but fall back on jingoistic tendencies to mask their ignorance of the fact that they are but pawns. There are no honestly original people anymore,(myself included) and I am patiently waiting for the next social upheaval. Interestingly- I want to be no part of it while it happens, but I'll gladly take credit for it (if it's successful).......after the fact.
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, it to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
—John Adams
"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."
—Thomas Jefferson
