Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

Myke I can't speak for "vinacular" but the spelling thing was something else. A private joke for McC and the sharp eyed Mav. (And maybe brett and sloth) I like to use my native spelling format. Look out for labour,centre etc. I have spoken to a few of the characters on this board about the...

Why did you use all those question marks????? Does that make your question more questiony??????

The thing is Jack, rather than labouring over what you believe she was getting at, you should focus on the monumentally painful prose she uses to get there. The ironies compound when you realise that she uses such mangled language to pay tribute to "poetry" (in whatever form it takes.) It ...

Can I just say that this post has given me a quote that I treasure and use all the time. In my humble opinion it goes beyond genius. I refer of course to the line, "He was a poet with words........."

Sadly I have an early evening commitment. I may try and track you all down after the show.

yes it is a problem. Your sister told me that she is getting fed up with it.

Angela Rippon was the woman who read the news, like Peter Jennings. She was a woman. America doesn't let women read the news yet, so you can imagine what a big deal it was when the BBC (No less!) let a woman do it. She was adequate and indeed was widely lampooned for her ability to move from cut gla...

Oi fucker. Joy Division were from Salford. Salford and Preston are pissing distance from one another. It is hardly venturing north to play. It is driving west though.

Was just reading a blurb online about Mr Smith, apparently he left a note of several pages length. Most of it was about some mumbling fucking arsehole he once sat next to in the Cha Cha. The last line is particularly poignant.............."and I would rather stab myself in the fucking heart tha...

Now then, now then. A quick look over recent stuff suggests that the dishwater has become a little murky. Thank god that Mark is having a full blown psychotic episode to liven things up. (Ever read Marx and his stuff about false conciousness.) So how is it all hanging? Everybody got tickets to Spiri...

I have a blessing from the pope to go to bumbershoot on Monday (I want to see Wilco and possibly REM) I am sure that I'll watch five minutes and run off to get pissed as usual. Also a bumbershoot ticket gets you into the EMP half price so I might take advantage of that. And for this week only, an or...

if they want to see cock, show 'em your poetry.

I feel that you have strayed into my area of expertise here, given my background etc. A short but useful approach is to make the distinction whether you are a snob about taste or circumstances. If you are a wine or music snob ( hello Mark) then fair enough. You have probably invested time and effort...

Not to mention his ability to keep his footing in the wettest of conditions

Well Brett, it didn't take long did it? We have gone from the proudest moment of my life etc to I'm running away to another country to escape that sleep eating monster,in the space of a few months. A word to the wise regarding parental proclaimations. Don't make any. For instance I can guarantee tha...
