🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

Hi there! I’m Bricks, and that there back-up pigeon behind me is Nicks. We’ve been rhabdomancing around the hood, searching for this year’s water supply, but what do we find instead?

Nicks– Slogans, advice, info, euphemisms, catchphrases, idioms, shibboleth, jargon, information, direction, reminders … like –

OR

Bricks -So, while we are walkin’ the walk and gettin’ the straight street talk, we figure we might as well pass it on to you humans. After all, you need it more than we do.

Nicks – Yeah, you humans need to chill out!

Bricks – That’s right. Slow down and Inhale/Exhale!

Nicks – Be Kind -Unwind!

Bricks – Of course some of the information can be disturbing.

Nicks – You mean like this one?

Nicks – How can anyone on the planet be illegal? Yet, we need to be reminded?

Bricks – Yeah, the reminders can be pointed. BUT some messages are more positive Euphemisms, like –

AND

AND

AND

Nicks – Well, are they euphemisms or advice or sayings?

Bricks– You’re makin’ me think to hard, and thinkin’s like work. You know what they say!

Bricks – But of course you’ll just keep asking questions, makin’ me think. You just can’t stop!

Bricks – Won’t Stop!

Nicks – That’s right! So, are we doves, Bricks? I want to be a dove? Can we be doves?

Bricks – YES! We are doves; big, fat, colourful street doves. But why do you care?

Nicks – Because I want to wish everyone PEACE & LOVE in this New Year!

Bricks – Well, that’s a dream.

Nicks – If I can dream it, I can live it!

Bricks – I’m down with that!
