I just learned today that the word Bethlehem means "House of Ham". This is by far the best thing I've learned from living in the Middle East.

Moslem is a perfectly adequate way of rendering the Arabic word in Roman letters. Especially if you live in the fucking 19th century!!!1!!

You're just mad because even after six months' absence, my poemvote:poem ratio still kicks yours's ass.
By the way, excellent spelling on "tangentially" or "tangentally". Ace distinction between random and tangentially-related, too! By the way, your bum, and kissing -=D_A=-,P.I.'s and Jeremi's ass isn't going to keep you out of the "pee closet" for another six months.
And PS-Like you'd fucking know you fucking numbwad. I'm the fucking on-topic commenter here. And shamefully so, as you'd know if you weren't using the Poemranker Instruction Manual only to prop yourself up to the level of your desk.
Can you explain to me what "an immitation [sic] of the idea of the thing" means? I bet not.
Like the rest of your comments: fluff, unfunny, and I don't even get the standard 'Shuushin Ten' on one of my poems for bothering with it.

Fine, here goes: Cairsten displays a horrifying ability to so mutate all his comparisons, and usually within the space of like two lines, that by the time he's done you've forgotten what or why he was comparing in the first place and they're just hanging around his ears like so many limp deli meats and oh god its so horrible please somebody make it stop.

Incidentally, the best existential question ever is: When the Lord finally lets fly that last great trump he's been whemying for 2000 million years, will we remain in possession of our ears long enough to hear it and fall to the ground under the force of its too-many-parted harmonies, or will we instantly be turned into souls, to be blown this way and that by the terrible and everlasting gusts of wind that follow?

None of these lines are actually questions. I'd change the title. Or just insert questions marks more or less at random for a neat question-y effect. For example:
Relativity is Absolute? Absolute is Relative?
And Eternity is? beyond the livi?ng formative.

What, if anything, came out of Jesu's eggs?
In case you can't tell, I'm genuinely curious.

In all seriousness, were you and are you in favor of the Iraq War?

It went to your "Bumtwixt and Bumtween" poem, where it properly belonged.

Which of the following best describes your opinion of Yoda:
1) So fucking smart he doesn't need to properly grammatize he's got a lightsaber and he can jump around and shit.
2) Probably from some race congenitally ill-disposed toward English grammar, but otherwise pretty smart cookies all of them.
3) Maybe colossally stupid, but in that way that usually makes people think he's wiser than them, like the Maharishi or something.
For another thing, I know very well how Yoda talks.
For another thing, "you only write comments you don't write poems so I'm better than you because I can barely hold onto my load for the two-day limit without whemying all over" is simply the least-funny jape of last year. And shame on you for getting Dovina doing it too. After all the time I've spent working with her.

Q: Can you think of anything which cannot be described as "holding together on an emotional level"?
Q2: Bunk. I know that's not a question.
Q3: I have an advanced degree in knowing what any kind of writer thinks and believes, which I obtained at an Accredited Poetry School. The question is, how can YOU be so confident in knowing what you think and believe?

Blather. Utter, utter blather.
Q: Do you know any other greek words for love besides "agape"?
A: Of course not (though if you don't look them up now you're fucking gay). You just heard there was this ace Greek word for love, agape, and figured they must have all these different gradations like eskimos do for "bum" and "walrus bum". Bow'ls.
And incidentally, calling "agape" greek is dumb; you might as well call "love" Indo-European.
Love,
zodiac
PS-In case you're wondering, the other Greek words for love are, roughly, "Gay love", "sheep love", "Muskrat love" (ie, "As seen on TV Greek pan-flute love"), "Big Fat Greek Love", "like-love but not love", and "love so pure I shit just thinking about it".

Crap. All of these comments are meant for Dovina. Now Shuushin will respond and she'll never know.

Do you know the Johnny Cash song "Ride On"? I think this poem strongly resembles it in that they both provoke the strongest disbelief (on my part) at the notion of either of you being closer to war than Texas. You fail. Drop and give me forty.

You seem to have no idea about Yoda's usual syntax. "A powerful Jedi is he" is grammatically workable; therefore, Yoda would have said "A powerful Jedi he is" or, even better, "he powerful a is Jedi."
