I'm not worried...he stopped talking to me about a year ago after I sent him on a wild goose chase...made him look quite silly...long story.

huh. so you write from your bed, posting to a (this?)website as soon as you awake after a wild night partying at a gala event and rubbing elbows with those who pick apart your ideas and offer critique of your work. and you try to maintain a facade, a mask to hide behind lest they hurt the real you. that's what i get, anyway. so, who is Tom? <grin>

My answer is, You're blathering. This is insane. We have no common vocabulary with which to continue this discussion. Do you even know the difference between a logical proposition and a proof? Or between logic and proof, even? (DOVINA: A logical proposition is blah blah blah... ZODIAC: Shut up.) I could say your characterizations of fuzzy logic and illogic are ludicrous and the most made-up things I've ever read on poemranker, and you're just going to say "Hair jelly" or something equally ludicrous. Let's just stop. Now.

I'm happy to hear that you flunked out...that makes you at very least a decent person. Be well.

i will wait for the other parts before voting, but so far it feels a bit disjointed: first two lines read like an opening scene for a overly-dramatic "private-eye" novel, then it becomes personal and ethereal. the next two lines lead me to believe your neighbors made too much noise for you to finish writing...
Re: a comment on Schoolyard Walls by Joe-joe	Dovina 69.175.32.104	3-Jan-06/3:14 PM
No, I flunked out of that school on the first day. It's not sarcasm really. I was just thinking about the various ways to interpret it.

I hope you taped it to her and she read it upon awakening. Then she would not answer as I did.
Re: a comment on Schoolyard Walls by Joe-joe	Joe-joe 170.28.4.4	3-Jan-06/3:11 PM
Ah, I see you're a graduate of the Zodiac school of higher criticism. Could have made the correction right off the bat and saved the silly sarcasm for another occasion.
Re: a comment on light [edited] by lmp	lmp 141.154.134.3	3-Jan-06/3:07 PM
ok, well, this was rather personal. i was eating a grapefruit in the bedroom next to my new lover, watching her sleep.

Unless you mean something very annoying, try "pigtailed."

Re: light [edited] by lmp	Dovina 69.175.32.104	3-Jan-06/2:57 PM
I can't picture it. Sorry.

I cannot claim typoness for pasteless, but must revert to someotherness, which zodiac will explain to you. Actually, your child unpasting his thoughts from the world is a good definition.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	3-Jan-06/2:53 PM
What does “paste-tounge” mean, oh thou of nondictionaryless words?
Re: The Stickmen of Fools by embersandenvelopes	lmp 141.154.134.3	3-Jan-06/2:47 PM
sounds like a reaction to a visual art installation at a museum. you know, the ones that are technology-based with scrolling signs and all, in contrast with the more "classic" painting art form. my overall impression is that you don't think to highly of the "newer"-style art, no? 7 for interesting sentiment.

Perhaps or maybe there is a special Lolita in your life that has finally gotten the best of you.

Zodiac, You said that you refer to facts, and that I just state what I wish were true. You also said to show you proof that a study can be found to support any assumption. I will be fair, and offer proof of what I believe the studies show, as well as some studies that proport to support what you have to say. From what I have gathered, the studies you seem to have based your assumptions on have been refuted by later studies. I will provide links here, for those who wish to study this further.I assure you that as soon as you read one statement and are sure it has the facts, you will find another that contraindicts it. http://www.lrainc.com/swtaboo/taboos/wsj_main.html http://www.vdare.com/misc/rushton_iq.htm http://www.lrainc.com/swtaboo/taboos/tbc01.html http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/intelligence.html ** http://www.mensa.org.uk/mensa/global/resource.html http://www.tip.duke.edu/resources/parenting_tips/instruments.html http://www.biology.duke.edu/rausher/lec23_05.html http://www.biology.duke.edu/rausher/Kamin.pdf http://www.alumni.tip.duke.edu/newsletter/2002june/article04.html http://www.volkmar-weiss.de/table.html http://www.post-gazette.com/regionstate/20010610giftediqsidereg8.asp
