Under-apreciated Skeptick
Rantastic. Great topic Phatz.
I hope I'm not limited to a rant-ratio per day.
I think the skeptick is a highly under-apreciated individual.
I watch a program[me] about ghost-hunting. Every week this pyschic dude comes on the show and pretends to be posessed by spirits. (I can say pretends as a skeptick de-bunked the bullshitter).
You might guess the show. I won't name names. Anyway, sometimes they hava a live show, and the audience nearly always boohs and whistles down the skeptick, and his evidentially and logically-based suggestions are met with much murmuring and discontent amongst the tumult. So now the skeptick set the psychic up, and planted anagrams into the field of history being investigated in haunted locations. --> Each week the psychic is supposed to get messages from his spirit-guide, and tell us the history of the places they visit, ghost-hunting. So our parapsychologist set up "fake history" and asked someone to discretely pass along this information to the psychic. The anagrams that were supposed to be historical names, were made of statements like "this guy's a bulshitter", "he's a fake", "you're being duped" etc.
So anyway, the psychic, during the show, came up with all the fake planted historical names he thought he was getting from a genuine source, which is highly amusing, and proves what a lying snake he is, as he's most definitely the richest psychic in the country by now, because of this show.
What does this prove? The crowd will heckle the honest skeptick who wants to get at the truth, even if the guys they're desperate to believe in are full of it, and haven't a logical, reasonable or honest bone in their body.

Little man bling puts a sting in your banquet
Here is a poetic rant about the absurdity of the world, this transitional finds himself in.
Little man bling makes good
With stealth he entered their territory,
His performance as good as his props,
For he was wearing a black tuxedo,
and a stiff upper lip donned his chops.
Now the bling on their fingers were singing,
to the crystalized champagne glasses,
and if it wasn't for the fault with his hearing,
he would swear these were the rich masses.
Now he gazed through his teeth at their prowess,
admiring their cold empty glances,
as he knew they were made of hard ice,
but still victim to complacent chances.
So when they had turned their backs,
and he'd earned their genuine trust,
He made for the bling in their pockets,
like a cunning pick pocket at dusk.
He was as smoothe as silk
untill the last dance,
.....and they carried on regardless.
with his pockets bulging,
and a satisfied gorp,
his mask became somewhat charmless.
And as soon as the party had came to it's peek,
he left them in haste,
...the devilish sneak
For they wondered when appearing on the headline news,
how this vagrant had came to wear bling like knarled shoes,
and the new dawn light made way for the brightness,
of the bling on his fingers, his neck and politeness.
His smile reached the borders of his dirt stained sheets,
he was a metaphor for the poor,
and for life on the streets.
For he robbed from the rich to give to the poor,
and they didn't even notice he'd broken the law.
Their bellies were too full,
all about the room,
to notice the dull
of the gray blingless gloom.
If only this could be said,
of those who aren't fed,
For the bling in his hands,
is no match for a warm bed.
