I was in a special shopping mall for an Xmas-season and found good Rationalism to make mark of 21st-Century securities 'consciousness' for everyday-consumerism life/festivities when I beheld the specter of the Scarecrow, a masked bandit-maniac trumping through the walk-path of the interior of the American Homeland building to make hellfire for life on Earth (wow). Follow along, friends!

SCARECROW: I come to you as a messenger of anarchy, consumer-American.

ME: What do you want...with that water-gun and mask-getup, bad guy?

SCARECROW: This water gun is inserted with a glass tube filled with acid!

ME: What do you want...with that water-gun and mask-getup, bad guy?

SCARECROW: I'm a messaging man from the dark side of Earth-mentalism.

ME: What do you want...with that water-gun and mask-getup, bad guy?

SCARECROW: You've persisted with clean question and passed my peace-test.

ME: What do you want...with that water-gun and mask-getup, bad guy?

SCARECROW: You've found my test, passed it, and must write about me (ok?).

ME: That's a deal for the jellyfish (Facebook-like)...farewell.

Wow, I'd become a special American Homeland hero-man of sorts with my direct-line of straight question for the Scarecrow, whom I never ended up identifying inside that Xmas-mall shoppers-season of readings for terrorism-like paranoia, but I kept my promise...and I wrote this up in his dishonor...for I read his consumerism 'examination' as one of patience. Scarecrow (whoever he was!) wanted to measure if an everyday-shopper simply would translate a face-contact value shock of anti-capitalism 'cleats' into a life-traffic paranoia parable about social media culture 'friendly' Jabberwocky fencing (Facebook-like).

DIARY_NOTES: "Sure, the Homeland of America had seen much 'troubles' of the heart...and we think of invasion-like darkness (e.g., Pearl-Harbor, 9/11, etc.) as special image of that civilization 'examination' of all things everyday/jardinieres for the spirits...maybe Earthlings simply require adjectives for the heroics of wrought change (for leviathan/uncertainty)."
