It also gets you laid. (period)
Re: a comment on Ode to Chicken Kiev by bunniesnangels	26-Feb-03/3:48 PM
Other reason: food is delicious, nobody my age can cook for shit and thus it makes me better than them, there is vast conspiracy between restaurants, tv-dinner and snack food companies to convince people that it is hard to cook, because the only grocery store near me doesn't sell the sort of hardcore snack foods that are best (they do have excellent produce though). And dessert, truly is the best. I should make a pecan pie. Now. Fuck homework.

Growing up I was always given the impression that it was difficult to cook anything very elaborate. It turns out this is bullshit. Even with my busy schedule I can cook almost anything you can think of in a not unreasonable amount of time. The trick is to view cooking time as recreational. You can make a broiled steak with bernaise sauce (unbelievably good) in 45 minutes (although I suppose not many people can eat that sort of thing every day).

* 4 large chicken half-breasts * 4 ounces butter, softened * Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon * 2 tablesponos fresh tarragon, chopped * Salt to taste * Pepper to taste * 1 large egg * 4 ounces dry white bread crumbs Cream the butter in a bowl with the lemon rind and tarragon. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Shape butter into a rectangular block, wrap in plastic and leave in freezer to set solidly. Peel away chicken skin and flatten between sheets of plastic film, taking great care not to make any holes in the meat. Cut the hard butter into 4 pieces and place each in the center of the chicken fillet. Make sure the piece of butter isn't too large to be completely enclosed within the fillet. Fold the edges neatly and roll the fillet up tightly. Secure with fine string. Beat egg lightly and coat the chicken before coating evenly with bread crumbs, pressing them in thoroughly. Leave in refrigerator or freezer util coating has set. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 375F. Fry the chicken without crowding pan and lowering temperature, until golden brown. Do not allow the oil to get too hot, or the chicken will brown before it is cooked inside. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with borscht and mushrooms baked in sour cream sauce.

YOU PROMISED ME MALE WHORE POETRY YOU SNOW BOARDING YUTZ. 0.

My point here is that it's an excellent piece that for some reason does nothing for me. I cannot relate to these situations, so it can't tell me anything. You make no effort to court readers who have not been male hustlers, and this is pretentiousness in my opinion. There is nothing to bridge the gap between your fucked up life and my shiny, straightlaced dime-store wingtips. Thus, anyone who liked this poem who isn't a male hustler is liking it because the subject matter is novel, and because it is written well enough to believe that it really means something to someone somewhere.

Look, if I can't see what this poem is about, who is at fault? If this poem effectively communicated what it was about, it would be obvious that I had avoided what this poem was about on purpose. But it didn't communicate that, and so now there is some question in your mind whether I am obnoxious or stupid.
Re: a comment on Ad patres el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	23-Feb-03/8:24 PM
Why am I wrong? Because I've not been an altar boy or a male hustler? Am I to believe that this needs to be the case for a reader to appreciate this work? What exactly, is a poetic success if this is? If I am comparing this story to what 'they' have taught me to compare it to, isn't everyone? And isn't any criticism of anything by anyone based on a comparison of the thing and what 'they' have taught us to believe? Do you even want criticism? It seems you are principally opposed to it. The somber reality behind this poem has nothing to do with this as a piece of poetry. I could write a poem about my cat that died when I was in the third grade but it would take more than the fact that my cat died to make the poem good. It would take more than imagery, skill, craft and all the rest - it would require some evidence of an effort to say something to some audience. Without this evidence the poem would be pointless, and by extension disrespectful to my dead cat.
Re: Ad patres el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	23-Feb-03/7:38 PM
And furthermore I don't see why you're so huffy. I think the poem sucks and I said why. I think it's extremely stupid. Here, I'll change my vote to 10, if that's what bothers you.

Re: Ad patres el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	23-Feb-03/6:13 PM
And what is this profundity through obscurity bullshit anyway, with the titles in, what is that, portuguese? Latin? Both? And writing three of them? Some sort of holy trinity of 'truth'? The repetition I don't like at all here, since it implies a sort of damned for all times type tone where one of discord and sincerity is more suitable. Are you trying to use the language of old to express something inexpressable in times of old? ie male whore death? Thy? The lines and images themselves are very potent and very well organized but there is so much crap in the way. And the last line is the worst, really, the second to last stands much better on it's own. The finality is far too poetic, to devicey. It acts only as a burden to the obvious virility of the rest of it.
Re: a comment on Ad patres el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	23-Feb-03/6:06 PM
I'll forgive your rage, this time. "Irony" was a lazy, and for this reason poor choice of word. Here is what I meant: if your aim is to express tragedy and societal scorn you should not pander to the audience, since it is the audience that makes up 'society' and is thus the entity which scorns the male prostitute. Therefore, it may very well be in your best interests to make the reader feel not sorry for this person but rather bad about themself. To do this, one could find some ironic or comical slant on the whole situation, something to arouse laughter that cannot be denied. When the reader notices that he or she has laughed at something very tragic, he or she will recognize not only the fault in the self, but also the fact that he or she is very much part of the problem. This will both make the reader feel bad about themself but also make the reader understand the sort of thing this person is going through. Maybe something to do with AIDS?? Did you or did you not read "HOW TO BE FUNNY"? Don't you understand how unfunny humor is?
