This and your Indian post kind of confirm my idea that people with dyslexia tend to have better-developed rhythmic and auditory senses than the rest of us. I knew a dyslexic poet on another site who could hardly follow a normal paragraph of text but had the most amazing and genius sprung rhythm I've ever seen.

Almost. But then you have to think, people at that time didn't really write like that, did they? People in this airy New-Agey time do. Hmmmm.

It was a dis. Top five biggest zodiac disses: 1. Your stupid. 2. Your Arab. 3. Your pants are down and you don't know it. 4. Meat-hat. 5. People don't want to sleep with you. By my rules, the aboveposted is a two-fer.

That's ridiculous. I've never heard anything like that. That woman was probably tortured into saying so.

Of course he does. He has everything. The real question is whether he also has a serious sensitive side, and how that works out.

Sure it makes sense. It's just not clever.
Re: a comment on Silent Night by Dovina	zodiac 212.118.19.91	30-Nov-05/12:39 AM
You mean for people to associate your poem with a popular song about God. Your version is about a non-virgin Mary doing a Heavenly Dick. Now you're offended if someone says you're off-doctrine? Whatever.

The third and fourth are "John Dickup" and "Joan Bigdyke".

The second is that in two years of claiming to be John Updike on poemranker, only about three users have known he's a real person.

The best thing about John Updike is the Krusty the Klown line, "Shut up, Updike." My wife tells me that's her new SMS ring.

I'm trying to figure out what sort of neurological damage results in such acute comma neglect. I haven't seen such precise coup-countercoup sheering since my maid hit her head on the sunroom entryway filigree and lost the ability to make puns involving kitchen utensils.

The last line might turn it into another Poor-man-dead poem, except for “shrapnel for our conscience” which I see as a painful wound on the collective sensibility – maybe because of the medal, or just maybe because they all agreed with the dog. Provocative.

In textual criticism, I go with the oldest Gospels and the ones written by people who knew Jesus well. Of course, the uncertainty of orgins and corectness in copying, and/or changing makes the science difficult. I am no expert in this, but many scholars think the original Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are probably from pre-70AD and come to us with only minor changes. Other gospels may be just as old and credible. I don't claim any of them to be better except on this basis.

I think He does.
Re: a comment on Silent Night by Dovina	Dovina 209.247.222.87	29-Nov-05/4:48 PM
yes, but how is this profane against God? Other sacred entities such as carols, litergy, and dogma are not in the same category as God and not, in my opinion objects of blasphemy.

I guess I could criticize your fragmented sentences too but that would just be anal. Then again maybe anal is your thing. Why don't you delete your comment again and spend another week thinking up some smart ass thing to say.
Re: a comment on Picking Up Sins by BrandonW	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	29-Nov-05/3:46 PM
Whore.
Re: a comment on A Modern Woman by Dovina	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	29-Nov-05/3:42 PM
On the contrary. I have faith in what is valid. Did you know there is something like 50 Gospel books of Jesus. Most were lost in history but they did exist. So I suppose you'd rather go with the popular choice than go with a Gospel who's people were called heretics for believing in logic and the equality of women. You were the one who claimed one gospel more consistant than the other. Isn't that what you mean by textual criticism.
