In The EXCELSIOR, when the weather is hot/you can LOL and touch the sky

this was posted on I Love Books(!). Thread called: An Impertinent Question.

I'm 21 y.o., homeless, bright, w/out an automobile. I think I have a betterthanmost literary potential and i'm musically inclined and talented.
I was sitting in the lounge of a casino this afternoon giving my future potentialities odds: 13:1 against being overwhelmingly successful,
5:1 against being moderately sucessful, 3:1 against being totally destitute, 2:3 against being totally mediocre. My plan is to visit spain over
the winter break and then move there after graduation. Do you think that I'll be successful or should I save myself the trouble and join the
merchant marines and deign to accept my ultimate station as an asshole?

Girolamo, because lots of people would like to have sex with one another but don't realise the other is keen, and don't broach the subject.

-- Alba (albab...), August 22nd, 2004. (later)

we should all have sex broaches, like mood rings, that show if we are ready to have sex or not.

that's a better idea.

-- RJG (RJ...), August 22nd, 2004. (later)

Or, you could just use mood rings and see who you end up with.

Depending on operational conditions, weather and other factors, there may also be an opportunity for the wedding couple and up to six guests to have a photo made in front of Graceland Mansion. Check with the Special Events team for details on photo opportunities at the Chapel and on the mansion grounds.******

*Because most people would rather forget their wedding?

** Okay, they need to point out it's tastefully decorated, then you know Wanda Sue at the Kountry Kraft Barn was having a sale.

Wanda is now in Bermuda.

***Look honey, that window in the pitcher is jus' lahk the one over Elvis' FRONT DOOR! HOW ROMANTIC!

**** I don't even know what to say here. A MURAL? Velvet Elvis, help me.

***** 'who can only play songs written, performed or about Elvis'

****** Photo made? I know it's said commonly, but it bothers me. Made? Like what, Kodak DaVinci is gonna make a picture for me? Out of playdoh? WTF? What an heirloom, though, huh? "And this, kids, is where Daddy and I got married... in front of the house of a man who died on the toilet... Isn't it ROMANTIC???"

My most disturbing hairdresser was an otherwise amiable chap who would insist on showing me pictures of people who had had limbs severed and/or mutilated as a result of shark attacks. One photograph showed a particularly unfortunate young lady who had both her legs severed just above the knee. My hairdresser's response was a somewhat worrying "Still, smashing tits though".

He had a sister, who...hmmmm. I think she came to stay with us? From time to time. She did not live with us. Though this is not relevant. She looked maybe a little like Jenny McCarthy, but not so blonde and plastic.

One night, she was heard, moaning in her sleep. Sexy moans, you know. That kind of dream.

Then it was realized she was moaning this:

"Ohhhhhhh Babarrrrr"

* Loft apartment - Capital City - Random annoying kid
* Preganant Ex - Dead junkie
* Crappy Strokes-esque band
* Everywhere looks better at night
* Crazy British stalker guy!!
* Kurt from Teachers
* His buzz was totally harshed - followed by old cliche of "tomorrow, I might be dead"
* I didn't find the main guy so punchable after all, the main girl is still cute.
* Whisky in a paper bag, all New York apartments have those big metal fire escapes on the outside - I've seen Spiderman.
* The theme tune is total Dawson's rock.

-- Huck (handsomishbo...), August 25th, 2004.

Anyway, I had no desire to walk to the station without it, so went straight to the GHS after work (getting SOAKED on the way, incidentally). I had to wait a while to get the barman's attention, and this South African guy, only about my age, is standing at the bar, looking totally fucked. I bought a pint and enquired about my umbrella, and while he looked around, the guy said to me:

"Wet, yeah?"
"Umm, yep. Its pissing it down out there."
"Yeah. I've been sheltering in here for the last four hours."
"Aaah, I just came in to get my umbrella. I left it here last night."
"You can have mine if you want."

At which point he smiled at me and I thanked him and politely declined. Anyway, he carried on talking at me, mostly, slurring words a bit, and touching me regularly, actually putting his arm round me briefly at one point. The barman was serving other people and by this point I was thoroughly desperate to get away from my new friend.

Eventually, the barman had a look behind the bar and there were about eight umbrellas back there, one of which looked like mine, but wasn't. I took it anyway (I am never buying an umbrella again, incidentally, if there's that many behind every bar). I thanked the barman, at which point the South African said to me -

"Absent minded, eh?"
"Yeah, evidently."
"Me too." (Leaning right towards me by this point). "One morning I left the house without realising I still had a bit of jizz on my face."

I've never left a pub in such a hurry in my life.

Feeling the wind
and seeing it
in the trees

Sensing the messaging
from afar
to the branches and leaves
down the slender swaying bodies
into the tendrils
that mingle with mater

A communication far richer
than our puny wires
and wirelesses
let alone words

The trees use their whole bodies
Nay, not use - commune wholeselfly
with other forms
that we
Airheads
Children of an ancient organism we call
Earth
call wind, clouds, earth, sky, rocks, islands
continents, rivers, cities, Autobahnen

The cats
try their best to translate

With all their patience
how little sinks in

Are arrogant airheads
able to grasp
our connection with everything?

Can the glimmering of a few
mend the madness of multitudes
and their own madness?

Can those who see
who feel
who glimpse
send out pulses
to purge the poisons
of our intelligence
our civilization
our isolation
from everything
in our drive
to control
to dominate?

Maybe music
Resonating rays
And dance
The swaying of our slender
and not so slender bodies
Perhaps perchance
movement with the energy
of our self
our home
our body
Gaia
Can awaken us
Can awaken our hearts
to who we are
and where we are

Starting with one connection
with one cluster
is small
but may be all
any one can do

It's *not* OK to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Nope, I hate him with a passion. He is an evil, evil man. One of my first thoughts on september 11 was that he engineered the thing. I didn't need Michael fucking Moore to tell me that, it was as plain as day.
I like all kinds of music though. That's what separates me from Reynoldsites such as yourself. I own the complete works of Clifford Brown and Stan Kenton and the White Stripes and Syl Johnson, as well as Basement Jaxx AND Daft Punk records. Could a Reynoldsite say the same?

Anyway, I'm just joking about the whole British thing. Honestly. It's just an act. Where would I be without Kevin Coyne, Keith Rowe, Syd Barrett, Evan Parker, Larry Wallis, Lol Coxhill, Davey Graham, John Martyn, Mark Hollis, Mike Paradinas, Tony Iommi, Robert Wyatt, Steve Howe, Anne Briggs, Joe Harriott, Derek Bailey, Richard Thompson, Sean Booth, Rob Brown, Pete Townshend, Bridget St. John, Mark E. Smith, John Stevens, Kevin Ayers, Shirley Collins, Bill Steer, Peter Hammill, Richard James, Eddie Prevost, Steve Winwood, Wizz Jones, and all the rest?? Not to mention Raymond Williams, A.R. Radcliffe-Brown, Edmund Leach, E.E. Evans-Pritchard ... they are all big heros of mine. Without them, my life would be infinitely more boring and lonely indeed.

I also don't think push button warfare is the way to go other than as backup. It is too easy to make a mistake that will not be discovered until far too late. Ground forces will know if they are getting return fire and they will know if they have found their objective.

I think we need a real air cavalry, able to strike a pinpoint target in the middle of the Glasshouse Stores with sudden and overwhelming force. And whose members are fully aware of the possibility of taking massive casualties as well as giving them.

If certain safe harbours of these people try to protect them, those governments should be made to suffer, not the general civilian populace if we can help it.

I have nothing against Dave Q or Alison Houston. I have some sympathy for those who have suffered wrongs. But it is too late now. There will be more attacks on us, and I'm afraid it is not all that long before they go nuclear. That, above all, is something we should be prepared to pre-emptively strike at, any time, any where. I am much afraid that we can only delay the inevitable. There is insanity in the world, and the larger our total population grows, the larger the absolute numbers of the murderously insane becomes.

We will delay the inevitable as long as possible, but I fear that the day of the urban area ended this week. People will have to disperse infrastructure so that there are no real targets with the high kill factor that now exists. No matter what we do, there are those who will commit these acts. In the world we now live in, what others will do to us has to a great extent become divorced of our actions. If we ignore them, they will kill us. If we are nice to them, they will take our gifts and then they will kill us. If we attack we can perhaps hold the gates awhile longer while they kill some of us. Otherwise we must abandon our cities, disperse our populations, and build a distributed infrastructure, dying in our thousands and tens of thousands all the while.

I do not like the implications of the world that began on Monday 1st July 2002; but I also can not ignore them and cannot turn the clock back. Dave Q and Alison Houston have birthed something new and terrible into the world and there is no way it can be shoved back into the bottle now that it has been loosed upon us.

The barbarians really are at the gates now.

Our bass player was actually the 'technically able' one, he was one of those whiz kids who could pick up any instrument and learn how to play it in like a week.

When I started learning how to play guitar, my job was to play the "CCCHHKKA! CCCCHHKKKA!" part of "Creep" by Radiohead.

In high school I had a guitar/bass/drums group that thought we were Jaco Pastorius's garage-jazz trio with Hiram Bullock and Kennwood Dennard. This meant that we would play Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone tunes and jam for twenty minutes. When the jam-band thing got big a couple years later, I was all "Hey, we were doing that in high school."

I won't even mention the ska and goth-metal bands.

The ads for these things would have you believe they astral project the viewer into the middle of a boxing ring or rock concert - still clutching his remote. For it is always a man. And the remote is a symbol for his manhood. Or, rather, boyhood, for this whole approach is obviously designed to tap into boyish oedipal fantasies of omnipotence and power - above all, the power to actually join in.

The remote is his penis, and the screen is his odeipal phantasy screen, on to which he projects the primal scene of his parents making love. In the boxing ring or on the sports field, he defeats his father, and marries his mother. All the while clutching his tiny remote.

Well that's fair enough. Obviously I don't agree, but we're clearly very different people, so there you go.

You don't like them, they don't move you, that's fine, now stop bitching about it. You're not going to change my mind or anybody else's, especially seeing as any argument you put forth is based on entirely erroneous pejorative comparisons. "poor man's ocean colour scene"? They had a top 20 single with a kazzoo solo and a hook composed of a weird burbling sample, wtf are you talking about? The last track on the new album ends like Fennesz, wtf are you talking about?
