Language is more like that hair dye advertised by Holly Valance.

And the media are the hairdresser's parlour?

Language is more like Elton's old syrup - it says one thing but hides another (not terribly well, mind you)

Sadly, for some of us reality is by no means a head of hair.

The opposite is true, I think. Reality is the scalp, being hidden from us by the wig of perception.

Is that the only Spaced hair-reference? That's teh only one I can think of . .. doh!

Now I think about it, language is more of a French Braiding Kit.

The scalp is the thing-in-itself, which can never be experienced directly unless you shave your head. This is called transcendence.

Joylon, it's Jolyon. Get it right, do.

Lasagne is a virus from outer space..

What you mean is: If reality is a head of hair, language is the old Cypriot guy in Hair On Broadway.

If reality is a head of hair, ILX is its merkin.
