Dare to be Stupid

Way back when Kadizzle was a young man there was a movement called " Dare to be Great".   It was one of those zippity do da deals where a bunch of young Christians go nuts and think they are actually going to change the world to make it better.   It was the " What would Jesus do?", mentality.  The Dare to be Great bunch got on buses and went around the country singing and stirring up people in the old evangelical tradition.

My younger brother was very funny and could do some great routines calling the group "Dare to be stupid".  So many times in the life of Kadizzle, Kadizzle has played Dare to be Stupid.  The game can be played in so many ways.  You can go out and sail in fifty mile an hour winds.  You can get drunk and offer to fight a guy twice your size.  There is not end to the variations on the game.  If you are lucky a little thing in your head may go off when you are about to embark on a game of dare to be stupid. If this does not stop you, you need to keep a few things in mind.  Gravity never takes a break.  Electricity is invisible.  A tiny flame can set off an explosion.  You only have ten fingers.  Babies come from somewhere.  If you lose at dare to be stupid you will look stupid.

Sometimes there are people who win big at dare to be stupid.  Look at Donald Trump, George Bush, and a host of others.  The trick to Dare to Be Stupid is to be on the other end of it, or just an observer.  Las Vegas has figured out how to quench the thirst people have for playing dare to be stupid. Republicans have figured out how to appeal to the dare to be stupid crowd.

If you want really bad to play a good game of Dare to Be Stupid your best bet is to get in a state of mind where you can suspend reality.  You can do this with chemicals, religion, or just by reading nonsense.

So have some fun and play a round of Dare to be Stupid.  If you really have a good game you may make the local news.
