Pull a Frankie

Sitting on a swing at a park drinking two 32oz Millers
I think I'm going to head to the park and pull a Frankie.

Novacula Franqui (aka Novacula Frangiscc' aka Frankie's Razor) 

Goes something like this:
-- Don’t people the scientifically as yet unexplained, unexplored areas of our world and reality with wild – or otherwise – conjecture you propose as “TRUTH”.
-- Rigorously relegate said “beliefs” to the realm of wishful-/magical-thinking, fantasy, and fiction or – at the very least – have the courage to …
-- Present “them” as theories open to testing, fact-based repudiation, public scrutiny … and then
ACCEPT THE RESULTS !!! Or – at the very least –
Have the humility and intellectual honesty to call them what they are:
MY OWN …
Crazy Ideas
Desires
Self-psyche-salving delusions (at worst)/”fables” (at best) that help me get through the night,

help me get through life.

See ALSO: Occam’s Razor, Chatton’s Anti-Razor, Hickam’s Dictum, Leibniz’s and Kant’s anti-razors, Crabtree’s Bludgeon, Pataphysics.
Because he refused to even consider the Novacula Franqui (aka Novacula Frangiscc' aka Frankie's Razor), let alone use it, he peopled his ideas of what was going on around him, and in the world at large, with dark Deep States, Alien Beings, Cabals of Reptile-People, et al. Nothing is simply as it seems!!! It gave him the frisson he needed to keep from self-reflection.

Franked Meme 

An old meme that is resurrected like Frankenstein's Monster (hence the name, Franked), for the purpose of milking it for the new stale memes that are unfunny, repeated and redundant.
A good example of a Franked meme is Morshu, who used to be a classic good old meme in the times of the Golden Age of Youtube, when memes were better then and YouTube Poops weren't stale, now resurrected by a bunch of 12-year old zoomers and decided it would be funny to milk it to death by making stupid videos.
Sometimes, you gotta face it, an old and dead meme is better being off dead, than being brought back.
Jack: That new Morshu RTX video was so funny, dank and lit, bruh!
John: Really, Jack? Why are you telling me this franked meme again?

Frankenbite 

1. A frankenbite allows editors to manufacture "story" efficiently and dramatically by extracting the salient elements of a lengthy, nuanced interview or exchange into a seemingly blunt, revealing confession or argument.

2. In reality television, the process of editing two or more sound bites together to create a different result, to fix grammar, or to change to meaning of a sentence.

Example: Adding "not" to the phrase "I'm here to make friends" results in "I'm not here to make friends".
Please frankenbite that interview so he is speaking in present tense.

Al Franken 

The United States senator who finally gave the Democratic Party the 60 votes they needed to keep the GOP from filibustering the country to a standstill.
Jon Stewart: "(Senator Arlen) Specter's move (switching political parties) puts the Democrats within a hair's breath of an unfilibusterable 60 seat Senate majority.

So now it appears the Senate's balance of power--in many respects, the very future of our nation--is in the hands of Al Franken."

Frankenbike 

A bike built up from various components scrounged from different sources (friends, swap meets, craigslist, etc.).
Elmo didn't have the money for a new bike, but he managed to assemble a Frankenbike from stuff he had lying around the garage and a few parts he picked up cheap from craigslist.
