I've got nothing against hallucinogenic drugs, mate. Nothing except they're immoral, they're a gateway to illegal narcotics, and half the time you end up mucking about until eleven at night and then wake up the next day and think oh lord what have I done not the pink jessops up the bum again.

Re: a comment on Nicholas Martin's last great paper by Bachus	16-Sep-03/1:19 PM
f) As much as I enjoy Settle's poetry, this essay is just an average teenage essay about the evils of consumerism. It's intelligently written and vaguely interesting, but you apparently want to get it bound in silk and taffeta and hump the spine at night. You must find coherent, extended trains of thought completely bizarre and amazing, since your speciality is massive tirades of incoherent, loosely-connected mescaline-inspired nonsense. You've never sat down and read anything more involved or precise than a leaflet on coming into philip Symour hoffemane's eyeball.

Re: a comment on Nicholas Martin's last great paper by Bachus	16-Sep-03/11:57 AM
A. No, no we're not. In the everyday sense of the word 'dead' by which we are not all dead, is it true that Settle is dead? B. Were you bumming? C. Whatever. D. I don't know. I'm not familiar with Rhode Island, its educational institutions or their admissions policies. Please tell me the name of his school, or I will assume you are lying about this whole thing.
Re: Nicholas Martin's last great paper by Bachus	15-Sep-03/9:00 PM
You are sullying Settle's good name and violating the Poemeranker Club Code of Conduct. Answer these questions: a) Is Settle actually dead, to the best of your knowledge? b) If so, why would his mother have called you, someone she barely if at all knows, to tell you he was dead on the very same day it happened? c) Why would Settle have chosen such a melodramatic and unreliable suicide method as hanging? d) What art school in Rhode Island did he go to? e) You mentioned before that you 'had him over for dinner'. He lives in Rhode Island. You live in California. You don't just pop over a continent for dinner. What actually happened? f) Why do you have what seems to be one of his school essays, and why are you posting it here?
