standing on a fault line

aitch honey, i think there is no need to be decent to a guy who is a lousy cowardly fool. he is just waiting to be pussy-whipped. on the other hand, the decent thing to do (as opposed to the polite thing) might be to give him a swift kick in the balls. i think the idea of a poetry book is great. i'd...

Cashews- New McCutcheon short story not in first person

'the barcaloungers': that was the name of a band in which i played some time back. i don't know why but at one point we changed the name to 'the fat slobs'. a band member's girlfriend thought that was too derogatory so we changed it to 'lay-z-boys'. the company hit us for trademark infringement so w...

Cashews- New McCutcheon short story not in first person

another fine story by mister pape, the word masta. i could literally smell the farts embedded in the barcaloungers.

the subject matter is as foreign and unattractive to me as can be and the description is burlesque but i couldn't help snorting with amusement. nice

italian for beginners

you know all about dogme films, don't you? the new wave of low-tech movies started in denmark in '95, with all shooting done on location, no stunts, using hand-held cameras, etc? (if you don't, and you are interested, then read "feature filmmaking at used car prices" by rick schmidt -- the...
