No, but structuralists most definitely are.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

and post-structuralists?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't know, but minimalists are. decidedly unsexy: using "post" as a prefix.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

what if something comes after?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

post-structuralists suck. They don't care about anything. They aren't PASSIONATE enough.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh c'mon somebody please please please say something sexy about formalists before my batteries run out...

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

think up an entirely new name. though post-structuralism was never gonna be sexy, even if they called it "stinking hot sexy thought", its just too french.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

the sexiest: using "post" as a suffix.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Sigh. This is why fan fiction is about the characters and not the artists. I'm going home to bed.

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

bedpost?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh heh. Give you a notch.

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Ann, are you in the loop, not home?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

christ.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:35 (twenty-two years ago)

christ what?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

oops, christpost.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm leaving for home from my job just north of the river. Please don't mug me, I haven't got much cash. And it's christ, sir, usually. He loves it when you suck up.

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:41 (twenty-two years ago)

is christ getting too pally?

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

nah, I know where the CR is Ann. I'm sittin' at home waiting for a friend of mine flying in from New York for a wedding. The guy was supposed to get in at 8:30! But his flight was delayed cuz of the rain we had. So, like he's probably gonna get to my place at like 12:30. I wanna take him out for a drink before everything closes, and I was gonna suggest an impromptu FAP if you were downtown. But fuck it, he may not even get here then...

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

christ is my savior, but he's not my pal.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

also, Ann, I'm a friend of Bayne so no muggage was being considered..

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 2 August 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Lady Lurex, are you sure that minimalists aren't sexy? The Ramones? X-101? Schooly D?

Wonderful and fascinating though you are, Ms Lurex, I must disagree.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 2 August 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

she said minimalists are sexy.

does everyone have a different understanding of minimalism or wot?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 04:08 (twenty-two years ago)

why has nobody in this bitch mentioned cute formalism?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Saturday, 2 August 2003 04:19 (twenty-two years ago)

the sexiest formalists tend to be the ones so caught up in the formalities of whatever it is they're being formal about--and take so much pleasure from it--that they tend to ignore everything else. so the best formalists are geeks, just like the best everyone else (is/are? not sure which) geeks, too.

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 2 August 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

whats the relationship between formalists and silly pants?

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Saturday, 2 August 2003 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Ms Lurex, I missed the full stop in your sentence. I was drunk on cheap champagne.

Would early Stock, Aitken and Waterman be cute formalism?

does everyone have a different understanding of formalism or wot?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 10:11 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a formal definition, but I think a lot of people are letting it all hang out.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 2 August 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe I have just discovered that I'm a formalist.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

When it comes to definitions I'm Humpty Dumpty.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 2 August 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

a big, broken egg w/ a face and arms and legs?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 2 August 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Oi, you lot! Who pushed him over?

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Me, and I'd do it again too. Formally.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master--that’s all.”

This is a dark, dark, dark little passage.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 4 August 2003 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a dark, dark, dark little passage.

right, cuz it immediately segues into the Humpty Dumpty Bukakke scene.

Talk about Alice getting yolk on her face!

"use a word that don't mean nuthin'
like 'woopid'..."

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 4 August 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

That was 'Lupid' I think, Kingfish. But, point taken.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 4 August 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I have now taken "form of -- A GIANT BREATHING BABBLING HANGOVER!!!"

The Wonder Twins: sexy.

My head: paaaaaiiiiiiiiin...
