A Season in Hell

RickyT's hell = hawaiian pizza/kronenbourg/a ban on cardigans and badgers.

Tom's hell = admiring T__ the T__'s personalised numberplates for all eternity.

My hell (and probably quite a few others) = JADE and the Barclaycard advert. And quiche. And people who pronounce Rimbaud as RimBORED. It just gets to me.

What would be YOUR vision of hell?

A world without CHEESE would be quite high on my personal hell, Katie I do not know how you do it.

BLIMEY I have just realised I still have some STILTON at the back of my fridge. It must be the STINKIEST CHEESE EVAH by now, mmmmmm....

As above + all adverts for wine ever, quiche, They Think It's All Over on permanent repeat.

No cheese would be horrid.

no cheese accompanied by no sliced continental meat selection, red wine, olives and warmed ciabatta - just meat paste and ryvita - with only local radio adverts to keep one entertained and ben elton for company AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

working at a book publisher for 7 years only to find you have the skills and experience for no other job and a salary that laughs in your face non-stop.

Hell = Trapped in a grey dusty city, with noisy neighbours who talk loudly in czech all night, and me having no direction or ambition and it's always Tuesday, and the only song on the radio is by Ashanti.

I don't have one.

(I think this means I hate everything equally though)

The only clubs that exist are indie/pop ones.

Or my new job in the fucking deli. And the only food in the world is rancid fucking clammy ham sandwiches and mayonnaise with brown crust on it. God actually that would be hell, Sunday I've had 15 minutes rest after my night out, in work at 7 and when I'm meant to finish at 3 the clock just keeps going back an hour and I've to keep working forever and smelling of cheap shitty food.

Hell = a conversation with a Beatles fundamentalist.

― DG, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

if i told you you'd probably use it against me so FUCK OFF

― unknown or illegal user, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

DG - I think I may be a Beatles fundamentalist, which means you have already been TO HELL AND BACK!!

Therefore I am THEE HARDEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED

Oh you are Orpheus, but I like you.

tim wins joke-of-the-year (also the ira thread just reminded me of the CONTINUITY MOOMINS so i am not in hell this morning)

Going for a doctoral degree. A professor suggested this last week -- the idea just fills me with such horror and disgust.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You are wise not to head down that primrose path.

Hell...hm, most of the visions I'm coming up with aren't even grimly funny. Therefore I will cop out and say that it would be the oleaginous Paul Crouch from across the freeway coming over to say he'd be living with me by court order, adding further that I could now only eat at Del Taco for the rest of my life.

three years pass...

er..... how do you pronounce "rimbaud"?

is it really a sort of "rambo"?

the writer of "rambo" cites rimbaud as the inspiration for it!

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 18:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I think "rambo" is about as close as you can get to it in English.

Though I usually accent the second syllable rather than the first.

See, you read from A Season in Hell, but you don't know what it's about.

― Ricky Nadir (noodle vague), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Go Rimbaud! Go Rimbaud! Horses! Horses! Horses! Horses!

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

you'll never spend a season in hell if you lie in bed all day.
