Re: Lotion by impert&ent	20-Sep-03/10:53 PM
[An extract from "Disabled Living: A hands-on guide to life without legs" by Ian Crushed] Chapter 1 - Lotion Lotion, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-ti-on: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to rest, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Ti. On. Lotionless limbs left out to dry, as life gives way to husk. Disabled glands secrete mere dust, and slowly the body roasts. I can barely engage my harness for want of lubrication. For want of that precious lacquer. For want... of lotion.

Re: Trailer Park: Diary of a Hayseed by DreamerSupreme	22-Sep-03/1:36 AM
So rife with clerical errors and rancid splats of cack that after absorbing this secretion I think I'm going to have to have a lie down. Yet again you prove yourself the master of giving bloated pieces absurdly pretentious and insipidly whimsical titles. "Diary of a Hayseed" my arse. No doubt this piece was intended to 'decorate the reader's window' with a beautiful collage of midwestern serenity. But after the appalling ending, made even worse by the painful, yet touchingly poignant use of an ellipsis, the only thing decorating my window was a giant shower of vomit...

I once heard a sketch from the radio series Blue Jam by Christopher Morris in which a man went feral. It's a sort of extended sulk that can affect middle aged men. He refused to sleep in a bed and instead made a nest in the closet. He stayed there all day and only came out at night to feed. His wife was annoyed about it because he never used plates or cutlery, rather he just raided the cupboards and ate the food off the kitchen floor. Like some sort of giant rodent. A doctor was called in to try and talk him out of it but it wasn't much use. Most men that go feral eventually end up naked and make a break for the wild. When that happens they usually die of exposure or get run over.
