I'm ashamed of you, beakism. Not only are you a shameless thief, you are also an heinous misquoter! Good day.

Re: America the Beautiful? by pink_punk_kisses87	13-Sep-02/3:15 PM
Yes! This is it! This is the most profound, beautiful, profound comment on America's society today that I have ever seen! How did you think of it, pink_punk_kisses87? It's such a through-and-through masterpiece that I hardly know where to begin... The title itself is sheer genius. Just imagine -- taking a popular catchphrase, "America the beautiful", and putting a question mark at the end!!! What better way to simultaneously subvert the reader's expectations and set the introspective, questioning tone for the rest of the piece?? Brilliant! Now, before I continue, let me tell you that usually I have no sympathy for poemes that deal with "issues". But you have managed to capture the essence of suffering and needless brutality in a way that I had scarcely dreamt of! All the images -- so cliched, yet in your incredible hands, so fresh! A beaten woman - a hungry child - drugs - bereavement - depression - lost love. These, yes, these are the issues of the times. Oh wait, sorry. For a minute there I thought your poeme was good.

I have to say that 'Far from the madding crowd' is perhaps the most tedious, boring, long, boring, long, tedious piece of writing I have ever been forced to read.

Was he 'half the man' because he had lost his starboard buttock during a disastrous BUMIKAZI raid on an enemy wessel? Was he 'twice the man' because this had gained him experience +3?

Oh, Soylum. It's OK to be jealous of me! You should stop trying to rationalise your bitterness and just let the tears of shame flow. For it is you who is the one who does not see.

Re: The lack of graffiti in an art centre lavatory by BEBO	16-Sep-02/11:38 AM
You, Sir, are an insult to the hallowed ranks of poemes making reference to faeces. You use foul words like 'fart' and 'plopp' as if to say "POO IS FUNNY LOOK IT'S GROSS HA HA". Do you have no artistic wision? No sense of the grand and mysterious? If my poemes are the sound of a frantic, frighten'd orchestra (which they are), yours are that of a broken whistle blown by a hobo in a feeble attempt to summon a djinn. Good day.
