I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Thers-t!
woo hoo
Felicitations to the still young and comely Thers!
Grocers, hide your bacon!
Go Thers!
Nobody here but us chickens.
I'm also getting taken out for Indian food, and then coming home to watch a crappy Sci-Fi movie. Wheeeee! Life be good.
T'anks for the b'day wishes.
I miss your avatar, Thers.
More importantly, I miss mine.
from below and for the final time:
happy b-day Thers!
Mr Met DID have the best gravatar...
Happy birthday, Thers!!!!!!!!
(Boy, he must rate to get his own birthday thread!!)
Oh, Thers, what a way to celebrate your birthday. 
You and NYMary and the kids need to go do something FUN!!!
(I suggest another panther hunt...with a pictoral record so we can see more cute pictures of the little ones.)
Happy Birthday!!!
Thers?
I knew him when he was'nt such a weenie. TOday? He's like, all about the money, man.
Fuck!
I'm also getting taken out for Indian food, and then coming home to watch a crappy Sci-Fi movie. Wheeeee! Life be good.
Now THIS is a much better idea then paper reading! (And no reading any Caitlan Flanagan, either!)
This is, like, Thers-day.
Thers! Happy Birthday! Many, many happy returns of the day! I have a soft spot for Tauruses, having my Moon in Taurus.
Wow, Thers gets b'day greetings from Atrios. All I got was a rock.
TEACHER'S PET! TEACHER'S PET!
Thers ought to have no trouble blowing out the candles on his cake. 
I guess it's Thers' birthday that has eclipsed Earth Day coverage.
Thers! Happy Birthday! Many, many happy returns of the day! I have a soft spot for Tauruses, having my Moon in Taurus.
No-one ever moons *me* for *my* birthday...
Wow, Thers gets b'day greetings from Atrios. All I got was a rock.
ANd Holden gets ponies.
What the fuck does it take to get noticed around here?
Fellatio?
Any conference notice that begins "Weblogs ("blogs") . . . ." is not one that I want to read.
Thers, may you have one thousand hits!

Thanks... I think.
BTW, did NYMary ever find that file she was desperately seeking earlier this week?
Or is it better not to ask?
If the latter, I apologetically withdraw the question. Otherwise, I'd really like to know what finally happened.
Hecate from below:
it was a nightmare, wasn't it? but i remember in the 90's when we had an actual, articulate president, gas was only $.99 most days, and $1.10 was EXPENSIVE..
ahhh good times.. 
i know the two aren't correlated, but i'm just saying.

Yo, Birfday Boy:
Read your blog on Altpiss from your link on the last thread. Good points.
I nominate the following sentence:
Indeed, if the constraints of scholarship are bad for blogging, well, neat, let's let blogging run free in the magical internetty wild, prancing about like a limpid-eyed fawn, shaking its tufty little tail most frolicsomely.
for some type of award. Which, I'm not sure, but that is a doozy.
I denounce the blog denouncers and antipatriotic enemies of the state.
Happy motherfeckin' birthday, feckin' fecker!

I really hope you're wrong about Arrington. Hopefully the physical was very comprehensive...
thers wrote something scholarly on his b'day. Must take his troll creds away.

The creepiest thing about this whole thing is that the interest some Harvard Nazi could have in blogs is how to control them. They want to come up with rules and criteria that will enable them to lie and to attack anyone who tells the truth as "not knowing how to blog" and so on.

Yeah, i think originally the establishment was pretty upset about printing presses as well. By now, the net's like tv. They'd have a hard time taking it away from people. Even completely non-political types want their MySpace and porn and eBay. Not that the fascists won't try, but they let it get too far before they realized how much trouble the net could cause.
Thers,
What's funny about 1) That paper and 2)blogs is that they ARE transformative.
They've created a whole new public space for discourse.
Habermas would have a field day with the invention of blogging!
In the late colonial era, Americans had taverns, coffee houses and pamphlets. Blogs are a fascinating addition as a new democratic institution.
Hmm, I'm off to hang new blinds in the living room and finish baking chocolate-white chocolate cookies.
If the living room blinds-hanging goes well, I'll put some up in my bedroom, probably much to the relief of my neighbors.
Happy, happy, Mr. Thersites...
Back to the days of:
Ass, grass, or gas - nobody rides for free!
Go Avs.
i'm going to make chocolate chip cookies in honor of Thers' birthday for everyone.
they prolly won't be as good as SallyH's but, i'm going to give it a whirl.

From another great post at Metacomments about the new blog, "Swords Crossed":
"Swords Crossed" as the name of your new "Left vs. Right" blog is pretty, uh, phallic.
The whole thing reeks of the end of some ridiculous action movie, where the hero and the villain reveal their abiding if grudging respect for each other's mad Battle Skillz. "Ah, we are brothers, you and I, Armando, though we are foemen!" And then they fuck.
I laughed out loud after reading that. Thanks Thers!

her eyes this is the one I make.
3c. ap flour
1t. baking powder
1t salt.
sift them together and set aside
2 eggs
1/2# butter
1T. vanilla
1c each white & brown sugar
1# chocolate chips preferably El Rey or Callebaut
Using the baloon whisk of your stand mixer.Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (at least four minutes) add the eggs and blend again until well combined. Add the vanilla. Change to the paddle attachment and slowly add the flour to the wet ingredients 1/2 cup at a time mix well to combine and then stir in the chips.
Bake in 350* oven for 10-12 minutes.
This recepit makes a crisp on the outside tender on the inside cookie.
I have found that it is critical to cream the butter and sugar or it ends up grainy and more inclined to burn.
Salut!

Can I just say, these two women do a lot to help me understand how some people can still support Bush...
A 76-year-old man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighborhood offering free breast exams, and was charged with sexually assaulting two women who accepted the offer, police said on Thursday.
One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.

April 20, 2006 -- Beating Bush's NSA e-mail surveillance simple. According to NSA sources, there is a simple method to avoid having one's e-mail captured by NSA Internet filters that have been installed within major Internet exchanges, such as the AT&T facility in San Francisco, which is the subject of a class action suit against AT&T. By typing "Viagra" or "Cialis" in the message text, the filters will automatically identify the e-mail as spam and ignore it. The e-mail could contain the words "Al Qaeda" or "Bin Laden," but as long as [V¡@gr@] or [C¡@L¡$] are also contained in the text, the e-mail will pass through the filters without being intercepted.

New spaces for discourse are great, though of course when that happens there are new possibilities for that discourse to be dangerous and disingenuous.

April 20, 2006 -- In another assault by the Bush administration on freedom of information, the Smithsonian Institution has cut a deal with Showtime that requires all filmmakers and documentary producers to offer their work to Showtime's Smithsonian On Demand cable network. Producers, researchers, and filmmakers who refuse to deal with Showtime will find their access to Smithsonian film archives and subject matter experts sharply curtailed. More than 214 researchers, documentary filmmakers, and historians, including Michael Moore and Ken Burns, sent a petition to Smithsonian secretary Lawrence Small calling the move anti-competitive. Essentially, the Smithsonian has sold America's film archives and history to a corporation. The Smithsonian has refused to provide the group of independent filmmakers and historians with a copy of the Smithsonian's contract with Showtime. Showtime Networks Inc. is owned by CBS. The CBS board includes "neocon lite" insider, former Defense Secretary and Maine Republican Senator William S. Cohen. Showtime's Chairman and CEO is Matthew Blank. Showtime has a partnership deal with Paramount Pictures.
On April 18, the New York Times reported that the head of the National Archives Allan Weinstein announced that the Archives penned a secret agreement with the CIA in 2001 that permitted the agency to withdrawal from public access previously declassified documents. In 2002, the Archives concluded a similar agreement with the Air Force. Over 50,000 pages, some dating back to the 1950s, have been reclassified and withdrawn from public access. The Archives revelations came at the same time the FBI was revealed to have tried to intimidate the family of the late investigative journalist Jack Anderson to turn over his 200 boxes of files of papers to the FBI for censorship, reclassification, and potential theft. It is clear that the actions of the Smithsonian, National Archives, CIA, Air Force, and FBI are clear attempts to censor American history. Not until the Bush crime family is driven out of office and into prison will the threat to our very birthright as a nation loom large on the horizon.

I agree. I think blogging has great possibilities for the "net-roots". The social conservatives had their mega-churches as a networking and organizational base. I'm glad blogs provide a new source for networking for liberals.

not to kibbitz too much, but Bakers is one of the worst chocolates made. Cooks Magazine had a taste test in one issue that rated it very low. Better to use less of a good quality.

Nope. I was called "intellectually arrogant" once long ago, but nothing since I started blogging. Shit, I had to call myself names in my blog description:

Oil is $75 a barrel and Bushco has only barely started their sabre rattling campaign against Iran. Wagging the dog, like Bush did with the Iraq war, is going to be a hell of a lot more difficult this time. I suspect it won't be long before GOP congressional leaders, worried about $3.00 + gas destroying whatever support they have left, will be begging Bush to shut the fuck up about Iran.

They actually publish some of my letters. I write to all my elected reps, to all the Democrats, sign petitions. I'm an every day activist - because of blogs.

Yeah, it's come up more in that tenure has been denied perhaps because of blogging, as it's not seen as serious. (Althouse doesn't help amend the negative image of blogs as trivial ego tripping, frankly.)

Thers
Anything I blogged I would never represent as anything more than idle noodling. Useful, perhaps, for knocking the roughest of rough edges off a nascent idea, but as any reasonable advance on scholarship: no way.
Own all of what? - All that I am.
the fact that your old lady dumped your ass? - Not that it matters in the slightest to you, anal sac, but after a long time working on things, I ultimately asked the S2BX to leave. She was more interested in new avenues of growth elsewhere than in being a spouse, and no matter how much we loved and care for each other, I was no longer able to let things stay as they were. It's an amicable split, we're both very sad, and life moves on.
The fact that you spend all day typing on a computer? - All day? I'd hardly call it that. Most of my work does indeed involve working on a computer, and I fuck around here, and I ride my bike, and I play with my dog, and I read, and I hang with my friends IRL. That's what having a multifaceted life is all about.
And I would watch who I call pussy, fuckstick. - Why? You gonna back up your convictions and trash talk, Pussy?
Multitask that, you douche. - I did, you salamanderblowing puswad.

NTodd, and other Ukrainians and Poles--I helped my sister dye Easter eggs yesterday for Greek Easter tomorrow. She had a book of designs, and the Uke and Polish ones were amazing.
Greeks are the least imiginative egg-dyers around. The only thing they excel at is the only thing they care about--getting the eggs a ghoulish shade of deep crimson. No ornate holdovers from paganism, just blood.
Do Ukrainians do the roundtable egg-cracking competition like the Greeks?

Baudrilliard? Cultural capital is Bourdieu. Homo Academicus is a fun book. Very funny on how documents like peer reviews are always a tissue of lies.

Ted is the one who had 91% of his wives file for divorce, which is why he can't fathom that I'd be the one to do it in this situ.
NTodd, Bungholier
It's all Ted's fault
Ted, I read your blog. Why so angry, bud? Wife dump you or somethin'?
A lovely screed - too bad it is misdirected. You people yell at phantoms.
Begone evil troll....Zap!....POOF!!!
And I think you are running 100% on wives gone, right? So Ted is doing better than you.
I'm the son of two...

Hey, that's our decorating style, too.
It would likely be ours too, but that M's grandfather was a famous German actor, and knew lots of artists, so we have actual paintings!
We are SO fucking "authentic."
Hi, Her Eyes. Things are going of apace with the book. Heard from UNE and QL that they are enjoying it. I am hoping for 100% Atriot endorsement.
I have been reading your words today: good observations but don't play with the trolls unless you wanna.
Yeah, it's come up more in that tenure has been denied perhaps because of blogging, as it's not seen as serious. (Althouse doesn't help amend the negative image of blogs as trivial ego tripping, frankly.)
I could see how blogging can kill your career. You have to be very carefull about what you put up on the internet.

It's SAMe.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 — Condoleezza Rice's spokesman on Saturday branded as ''utterly false'' a lawyer's claim the secretary of state leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist charged with receiving and disclosing such information.
So Ted is doing better than you.
Ted no like wife. Ted kill wife. Ted think all wife be dead.
A lovely screed - too bad it is misdirected. You people yell at phantoms.
Yeah, and that makes you so cool. You hide behind your anonymity, hurling shit, and have no courage of your convictions. Here we have people who, while we might not always know exactly who they are, keep their ID here and constructively engage. And many of us have met in person, know about each others' kids, pets and lives, and help each other. You offer nothing.

Since 1996, thanks to the Republican addition of Section 912 to that year's welfare reform bill, the federal government has spent over a billion dollars funding "abstinence only" sex education programs for teens.

Once again, I am not Ted. But feel free to blame him for all your troubles. It must give you great solace to be able to blame all on Ted.
Ted, I read your blog. Why so angry, bud? Wife dump you or somethin'?

Just remember:
Ted's great burden is that no woman will ever touch him, no matter how much he offers to pay her.
Baudrilliard? Cultural capital is Bourdieu. Homo Academicus is a fun book.
Yes - I always get "cultural capital" guy mixed up with "dreams can be more important then material reality guy."
This is, of course, my very low level of understanding theory.

Divorced when I was three, shockingly enough. They're still pretty fond of each other, they just couldn't coexist.

04/22/06 AP: 5 U.S. soldiers killed
A fifth soldier died of injuries suffered in a roadside bomb attack south of Baghdad, the U.S. command said in a separate statement. It was unclear whether the soldier was fatally wounded in the same attack that killed the four others.

Late to the party, but happy birthday to Thers. Everyone enjoy tonight's killer mammoth. It's no Snakes on a Plane, mind you, but it'll do for now.
Wow, tough troll, moving to insulting a guy's wife. You da man dude, your power of parley is just too much for me. I just can't see how we are ever going to get past this. I just can't look my wife in the eyes and re-cap this for her...
and not have us die laughing over it.
In case it got lost in all the trollshit,
HAPPY BIRFDAY, THERS!
Yeah, and that makes you so cool. You hide behind your anonymity, hurling shit, and have no courage of your convictions.

You are my hero. Someday I hope to be as tough as you.

Why, oh why, are they so obsessed with the sexual practices of adults?
q: are we not men?
Some of us are manimals.

I'm amazed that Althouse or Reynolds or Assrocket have any credibility left.
And I think you are running 100% on wives gone, right? So Ted is doing better than you.
Wow, what great logic. So Ted running at 91 out of 100 divorces initiated by the women (which still would be 100% of his failed marriages), is doing better than I with 1 wife who I am divorcing?
Do you recommend I burn her stuff that's still in my house?
white envelopes filled with cash is how ones get tenured, it has always been so, and so shall it remain so

Anything I blogged I would never represent as anything more than idle noodling. Useful, perhaps, for knocking the roughest of rough edges off a nascent idea, but as any reasonable advance on scholarship: no way.
Oh, I meant more in terms of certain kinds of projects that could benefit from collaborative input. For instance, a collaborative annotated bibliography, or a reference work on a particular subject, where multiple scholars could use the technology effectively.
For writing finished essays, I agree with you, though I could see in some ways how if you had an idea you were batting around it might be helpful to get some feedback from others. I suppose...
Hey Thers!!
Your favorite lion kitty baked you a cake!!
What is this "decorating" of which you speak?
antlers, skulls, animal skins.
You are my hero. Someday I hope to be as tough as you.
My dear troll, you do not realize it yet, but that is merely your ghost speaking. I have zapped you earlier in this thread, and you are now dead.
Fare-thee-well my ill-omened one!

What about computer wires and discarded components? Do those count?

Do you recommend I burn her stuff that's still in my house?
I don't.
HAPPY BIRFDAY, THERS!
T'anks, tigre!
Charlotte Smith (nee Beavers),
Thanks for the Elizabeth George recommendation. I'm enjoying the books very much!
decorating...oh Dog! We have more books than we have room for and the art is pretty good. I have several paintings by Jules Maidoff and Carolyn Lord both of whom are cousins of mine. It does provide a sharp contrast to the combination of "early goat rancher" (his) and Mission/Queen Anne (mine) that occurred when we got married. Its eclectic to say the least.
that's your call.
What about computer wires and discarded components? Do those count?
Only if you group them with assorted lenses, filters and other photography stuff.
So who are you, pussy?
Who cares?
Guess-the-troll is an amusing game, like trying to predict playoff matchups, but no-one's real invested in it unless they bet money on it.
In Thers honour, I just ate a BLT, made with genuine smoked bacon, thick sliced, on whole wheat bread.

I didn't think those even needed to be mentioned. Sort of the modern day equivelent to fresh flowers in a vase.
Live Free or Die: I could see how blogging can kill your career. You have to be very carefull about what you put up on the internet.
For instance, if you think Mohammed cartooning is the height of levity, you might not wanna be the PR guy for a private university with ties to the Southern Baptist Convention.

I guess your divorce is more moral than Ted's....... you didn't burn "her" stuff.
FUCK the troll.
There. I said it.

What is this "miracle whip" you speak of, something from a Mel Gibson movie?
Only if you group them with assorted lenses, filters and other photography stuff.
I only have a couple of discarded lenses (so far), and I don't really use filters except for lens protection.
My son was born with a tiny little penis, forgive him for his trespasses.

He sounds loke the moron who continually lectured everyone here about using names instead of posting anonymously because we should be discussing ideas withough being influenced by personality, blah, blah, blah.
What an insufferable prick that troll was.
Oh, and in honor of Thers' birthday, I treated myself to a FIVE GUYS Bacon Cheeseburger with fried onions and muchrooms with just a bit of BBQ sauce thrown in for good measure...
-
Does it matter? pussy?
Actually it does, puswad. See, I figure if you're so fucking cool and tough, you'd actually stand by your words and beliefs instead of flinging shit here.

that's easy, considering how few there are actually to be forgiven...

Not bad, Doug.
thanks, Vicki. i'm glad it is working out so well for you...

Whoops! never mind.
He's purring again.
Well, this troll fest is about as exciting as watching two crackers pick their noses.
You offer nothing.

In Thers honour, I just ate a BLT, made with genuine smoked bacon, thick sliced, on whole wheat bread.
Yummy!!
Please, no Miracle Whip!
But I have a strange liking for Miracle Whip and tomato sandwiches.

At least tenure attempts to measure whether the person is actually qualified.
MMmmmmm... FIVE GUYS burgers...

I sacrificed five virgins for Thers' birthday. I hope that will be enough to get my hat back.
Lion Kitty is a lovely kitty.
He thinks you are lovely too.
For a lout.
NTodd, whyn'cha invite that guy back to yer place?
a lot quieter, ya know?
Shoulda sacrificed five trolls...
-
The only thing more pitiable than Ted Baiamonte is someone impersonating Ted Baiamonte.

At least tenure attempts to measure whether the person is actually qualified.
It also generally involves evals from the ultimate customer, students. I've gotten a lot of tenure recommendation requests from Myshitdontstink College in central Maine since I graduated 15 years ago.
I'm back.
Are we still celebrating Thers' birthday?
"I'm on Tee Vee!

We never said anything about actual broadcasts. We just have a lot of wires running around and named in your honor.

I am going to make a bacon torte with a tomato and frisee garni in honor of Thers' birthday.
Happy birthday, Thers.
Worthwhile entertainment on a cold, rainy day.
We never said anything about actual broadcasts. We just have a lot of wires running around and named in your honor.
Well, okay. I am kinda the patron saint of that.
Well, this troll fest is about as exciting as watching two crackers pick their noses.
Then you aint watched jimmy-bob and rufus down at the feed store.
He just doesn't take the hint. I mean, do I have to pull of my pants and show him my maple tree?
my, what a beautiful maple tree! and the girth! amazing!
Well, I'm off.
I will return later to watch the alien possessed mammoth.
There'd better be some eatage and stompage in this film or there'll be hell to pay.
do I have to pull of my pants and show him my maple tree?
Now THAT'S what I call "syrup"!
Oh, jeebus, I can't believe I just said that.

Can I just say that a baby born with a large penis would be deeply disturbing.
I'll just say it is quite well known among the nursing staff when a baby is born with a large penis. And yes, it happens.
simels usually has good advice for trolls...
The problem we have when imagining trolls socializing, we end up picturing Nazi uniforms, Skin heads and White Power Socials affairs with a dab of pasty faced guys with itchy underwear and chetooh stains around their mouths tossed in for good measure.
We could be wrong, but then maybe trolls need to work on their public relations a bit.
Are we still celebrating Thers' birthday?
I have a feeling that the celebration's gonna last all weekend with headaches and bleary eyes on Monday morning.
Couldn't we give Thers a better present?
How about Lavar Arrington?
Are we still celebrating Thers' birthday?
No! I mean, yes!
Not at all - but you seem to feel the need to throw it out there as if it is something only you can do. So piss off.
Odd that you perceive that. When did I ever claim we are the only ones who can do that? I merely observe that your taunts ring hollow when you consider that we have built a real community here.
And what does it say about you, one who comes into such a community, to mock an individual's painful situation that they've shared openly with their friends? Is that something you're proud of? Does it make you feel more of a man?
Honestly, I'm curious as to what motivates you.
He's playing with it right now - running in and out of it.
geoduck2, cat lover | 04.22.06 - 4:14 pm | #
now what you need are bouncy-balls. They are those little hard rubber 1/2" super bouncers. My cats fetch and retrieve those suckers. And they won't play with anything else I have brought home...I guess its because they can pick them up easily. Other good cat toys...a fishing rod with a small koosh-ball at the end of the line.
do I have to pull of my pants and show him my maple tree?
Now THAT'S what I call "syrup"!
Maple Trees! Maple Trees! Yea!

Now this is an excellent example of how blogging could be dangerous to an academic career.
He just doesn't take the hint. I mean, do I have to pull of my pants and show him my maple tree?
NTodd, Bungholier
That worked with your ex, didn't it?
With a mammoth I would expect there would be stompage.
And impalage.
I could be wrong though.
How about Lavar Arrington?
Eli
was there a bacon clause in his contract

Thers,
I'm cleaning the house and listening to the Indigo Girls in honor of your birthday!
Emily's tell you to Get Out the Map, and Amy says Go Go Go, so it sounds to me like a birthday roadtrip is in order.
my, what a beautiful maple tree! and the girth! amazing!
But what do you think of the foliage?
Couldn't we give Thers a better present?
I only have 67 cents. I couldn't even buy him a Hallmark card that makes fun of his age.
Couldn't we give Thers a better present?
I was going to give Thers my painstaking research which proves once and for all that Joyce is great and Yeats is a hack. And that Jane Austen is worthless.
But then I thought better of it.
With a mammoth I would expect there would be stompage.
And impalage.
This would be my expectation as well.
I am also holding out hope for at least one instance of "trunk-crushage".
Wow. This one's a nasty little bugger.
now what you need are bouncy-balls.
ohh - I'm gonna get me some of those.
He loves the squeaky cat toys. They squeak because of a micro-chip. And he loves the cat toy on the fishing rod. (He carries them around a lot -and brings them to me in the morning. I always find them in the bed.)

Glad you like Elizabeth George! I just got out her most recent from the library, and I ordered her writing book Write On! as a gift to myself. Can't wait to get started on 'em... *rubs hands together gleefully*

tigre, you kill me!
Don't be a sap.
And that Jane Austen is worthless.
Is not.
Wow. This one's a nasty little bugger.
You're just noticing that *now*?
Speaking of disturbing... here's a strangely compelling video from Supercar that I just ran across...
-
now what you need are bouncy-balls.
Mex was playing with his squeaky ball earlier today. He found somebody's superball in our yard (one of the elementary kids who cut through our woods lost it, I guess) and destroyed it--not made for dogs, I s'pose.
there are massive abuses, of course...but good people (term used advisedly) do usually get promoted...

On second thought, this probobly would ruin the poety.
As far as presents go, stompage and impalage sound wonderful! Are these zombie mammoths?

a psychopathic need for acceptance...and the accompanying bitterness when overtures are shunned...
how'm i doin', trool...i'm tryin' to match Dr. Frist's skills...

Heh. Not quite. I'm getting paid for that book...
Did you get the link I sent you for the AP app?
Sigh. I told you, it was horses. Please do try to keep up.

I usually just go to the head shop and buy their pipe cleaner, but that's me.
Now you've done it, Eli. You've barked up the wrong tree.
Quitcher birchin'.
Charlotte Smith, Payment in Blood, the first one I read (about the playwright that was killed in Scotland), was nothing like the one I'm reading now (Playing For the Ashes) in terms of plot and character development - much more complex.
As far as presents go, stompage and impalage sound wonderful! Are these zombie mammoths?
No, but they *are* possessed by aliens.
YEAH!
You got left for Mr. Ed?
HA!
Though it's sunny outside this minute, there are some really large storms coming over the mountains.
Will it be rain, hail or snow?
You can never tell till it falls.
But can you explain what Finnagan's Wake really means?
Well, I can tell you it's "Finnegans," with no apostrophe. That's all I got.
(I like Austen too, btw. And Yeats.)
"Are these zombie mammoths?"
Well you have seen pictures of Hastert right?
Yeah, right. Like Kerouac ever paid for anything!
rorschach
well there you go. my favorite description of kerouac is HST ariving at his house to meet his hero. he walks by the old lady, grubbing for worms in the garden, only to discover it is kerouac him self.
hey, i've said it before, 'great poets live in pots of steaming shit' c. bukowski.
that's what is so cool about pics. a pic speaks a thousand words. and they are many different thousand words.
Hey! I LIKE Jane Austen!
Yeah, me too!
Gee, Wilbur..........
(I like Austen too, btw. And Yeats.)
rorschach
I'm with you. Joyce, on the other hand...
I pine for my days on Liberal Mountain.
Well, at least you're not sycamore.
Thers: Yep. Thanks again for that. I'm looking into it!
But can you explain what Finnagan's Wake really means?
"A poem should not mean but be."
But can you explain what Finnagan's Wake really means?
On second thought, this probobly would ruin the poety.
The poetry is sufficient.
Yeah, right. Like Kerouac ever paid for anything!

No, Mrs. Ed. Sweets is female. Geesh, you're the shittiest stalker ever.

But can you explain what Finnagan's Wake really means?
On second thought, this probobly would ruin the poety.

I guess the 33% Bush numbers from Fox has really lit a fire under the wideloads of the frightened chickenhawks.

Yeah, I read it again last year, I think. (Still had to work to look past the racism and sexism, but...) yes, the lyricism and vision of that book is powerful still.

Really? I read it when I was 19, the perfect age for that book really. I've been afraid to re-read it for fear I'll think, "What exactly did I like about this again?" Maybe I should trust my 19-year-old self more than I do.

Yup, that's one woman who decided there were things more important than our relationship. It makes me very sad.

That's it. I'm been trying to think of what to fix the boys tomorrow. (send them off to college, and they still come back on weekends). Maybe I should have sent my son to an East coast school.
Anyway waffles with crumbled bacon, is what's for breakfast.

Ok Mr.Troll,
Why are you here? What do you want?
Who thinks what about that, if you don't mind me askin'?
It's to do with whether Gabriel actually learns anything or not, and the implications that has for a feminist reading of the story. I say he learns nothing, she says he does. Or the other way around... I'm pretty sure we convinced each other at some point and switched sides without realizing it, and continued the argument...
well, i gotta say, fer an old man, my reflexes are still purty sharp
i just caught a fly on the wing...

pie - the first one I read was A Traitor to Memory, which was later in the series. Incredibly different in form and tone to any of the others. The only book of EG's that I can really compare to a standard mystery novel is her first, A Great Deliverance. And even it was instensely psychological and unsettling. Playing for the Ashes is still one of my favorites, though.

He thought of how she who lay beside him had locked in her heart for so many years that image of her lover's eyes when he had told her that he did not wish to live. ... He was conscious of, but could not apprehend, their wayward and flickering existence. His own identity was fading out into a grey impalpable world: the solid world itself, which these dead had one time reared and lived in, was dissolving and dwindling. ... His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
Please explain. Didn't this always mean that the left is a feral pack of viscious, incivil, treasonous thugs?

ouch! that probably left a mark. I had a really hard time getting into Dalloway...it really left me cold.
Farting owls.
Wow, just checkin' in. I never liked the idiots in the back row at school (yeah, I know, elitist-ina). And I really wish they wouldn't show up here with their idiotic, "It's a free country, so I'll choose to be an asshole," crap.
Happy Birthday, Thers. I gotta go wipe someone's butt. When I get back, I hope all the shit will be gone!

Don't forget the KY again, darling, my ass is on fire.
Miriam thinks he has. Her big question about The Dead is whether Gabriel is dying or coming to life at the end...
I'd have to reread it to add anything resembling sense to this conversation, however.
Thursday, when we had no lights, I picked up a book I bought ages ago. It's the first in a trilogy; it was written by a 15 year old kid - right after he graduated from high school. The book is Eragon. It's derivative, but damn, the kid understands character development and the value of simple declarative sentences. It's an easy read, and the print is a bit larger, which is why I picked it up on Thursday. It was an overcast day. I really like it. I think it's probably meant for young adult readers and I recommend it. I may actually get the other two volumes.

My understanding from those who liked "Eragon" is that the other two are very disappointing.
Apparently the "derivative" really shows through.
The poetry is sufficient.

you know i've said to you before that my wife was freinds with an eminent professor from Bryn Mawr who claims Joyce stole his masterpiece from one of his grad students.
i'm not saying it's true, have no fuck'n idea. but i know from personal experience that the master is more likely to steal from the student then the other way around.
