Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina 24-Mar-05/3:04 AM
Please understand, I'm under no illusions about keeping myself pure. I just feel sorry for the poor bastard in the psalm wondering, and hope he decides a) it was pure, and b) it wasn't in vain. And I think you taking his position is goddamn madcap.

You disagree? cf. http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=121687

Re: a comment on The Populous by durr_T_hip_E 23-Mar-05/4:21 AM
Crap, crap, crap.

Here's your constructive criticism:

1) I'd recomment shutting up about proving yourself correct. The reader's likely to think you're a little self-righteous snit.
2) The reader might get a little lost when you leap from -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I.'s comment to him thinking he's God, as calling things bollocks isn't something most people usually think of God as doing.
3) That intellectual capacity thing is crap. For another thing, you know it's not very cogent. And anyway -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. can argue, reason, communicate in English, type, and do anything else related to posting comments about other people's "unbelievable waffle" better than any Ethiopian, child or not. If you attempt to argue about this, you will be more than usually talking out of your ass.
4) But hey, great title! Hey, people are populous, what a concept!!!!

tchuss,

zodiac
Re: a comment on Rusty knife to the kidney by INTRANSIT 23-Mar-05/4:10 AM
From what sexual position are you speaking?
Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina 23-Mar-05/4:08 AM
Which part do you think is funny, "surely I've kept my heart pure" or "surely in vain"? I think they're both fucking balls to the wall.
Re: a comment on Reasonably Good by Dovina 23-Mar-05/4:05 AM
Dear Christ this is a load of garbage. In fact, I can't find a single sentence with any sort of correctness to it except possibly "what seems to you, simply is not" (which, to be fair, I can't make enough of to figure out whether it's crap or not. Judging from how things are going, I'd guess crap.) To wit,

1) Language can't be misused to justify reality. For one reality doesn't require justification. For another, language can be defined as "a system of sounds or characters designed for representing reality", so anything language does in the area of reality is pretty much right. For another, what the fuck are you talking about? Certainly not richa's comment. I propose it's you who are clothesminded. End of story.

2) Truth is misinterpreted all the time. For example: 'The sky is blue' is true. 'The sky is blue because God painted it blue' is a misinterpretation.

3) Truth is probably never really communicated (or if it is - ie, 'God exists' - it's pretty much totally at random). Ergo, being properly communicated has nothing to do with it.

4) Oh, you're talking about justifying false reality! Well, that's a bow'ls argument isn't it, and tantamount to saying well it doesn't justify MY reality. Judging from your comments, your reality is bunk.

5) Um, God told Adam first thing not to eat the fruit of the apple tree, without their having seen it prior. So you just failed big time.

6) And so on and so on. This is such crap it makes my eyes water. Please don't ever try to argue here ever again.

cheers,

zodiac

This whole comment is simply awful.
Re: a comment on Reasonably Good by Dovina 23-Mar-05/3:51 AM
Love IS the word if you believe "love uranium 238" is the opposite of "hate uranium 238".
Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina 21-Mar-05/11:15 PM
PS-This is my favorite recent comment. Too bad no one bothered with it.
Re: Crazy by the_poetess 21-Mar-05/11:12 PM
You should be here. Talk about meanings having words or whatever, yesterday I watched a normal Arabic adult stare at a playground slide outside her classroom for 15 minutes while she tried to think of an Arabic word meaning "slide". Later, I saw another woman do the same thing thinking of the Arabic word for "calendar". Weird, huh?
Re: That Moment by RION12 21-Mar-05/10:58 PM
How dreadfully convenient your life must be.

Which of the following do you think was your biggest mistake:

a) knowing at that first moment that you were meant to be,
b) doing "something very wrong", or
c) knowing at the last moment you weren't meant to be?
Re: Reasonably Good by Dovina 21-Mar-05/10:53 PM
Do you love Uranium 238? Why?
Re: stab in the dark by not_a_philosopher 21-Mar-05/10:48 PM
Probably because you spend too much time hanging out with those Baptist Student Union band-chicks.
Re: a comment on Drinking before noon with Bukowski by Beyond_Dreams 21-Mar-05/10:26 PM
You're a regular I Ching, aren't you? Incidentally, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Can I ask you a question? How many couplings do you know that meet all of the requirements above? Of the ones that don't, how often is the woman the silent sufferer? How often is the man?
Re: a comment on pihsdneirf ruo fo dne eht(The Burn) by thepinkbunnyofdoom 21-Mar-05/10:21 PM
I think Dan Brown could have crafted The Da Vinci Code better if he'd shat on a single sheet of paper and folded it into a bad origami pterodactyl with his lips.
Re: a comment on pihsdneirf ruo fo dne eht(The Burn) by thepinkbunnyofdoom 20-Mar-05/2:48 AM
Christ your insouciant.
Re: WHY DAD?WHY? by RION12 20-Mar-05/2:47 AM
You should travel back in time 15 years and start a grunge band.
Re: pihsdneirf ruo fo dne eht(The Burn) by thepinkbunnyofdoom 20-Mar-05/2:47 AM
1) Are you on The O.C.?

2) Are you reading The Da Vinci Code?
Re: No Worries by Dovina 20-Mar-05/2:31 AM
Surely, indeed.
Re: a comment on Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina 20-Mar-05/2:27 AM
1) Speaking for myself, I get a kick out of butchering people who butcher the language. Do you see the difference? I bet not. And can you respond to this string without referencing your imaginary "incrowd"? There's surely an argument even without, but I bet you can't think of it. Or are too hung up on your playground-flashback bully-fantasies to want to.

2) Um, how about, "lost jot and tittle period and dash for colloquialisms sake"? Anyway, it occurs to me that whether or not you find a colloquialism without apostrophes, periods, or dashes, you've still lost. Dropping punctuation doesn't make something necessarily colloquial or more colloquial. They're just not related, and you're probably just using the wrong word.

3) What the fuck?

4) No incrowd, sorry.

5) dim and uncool are unrelated. Um, I don't explain them. I was being sarcastic.

6) Latecomers use it. If I do sometimes it's because I'm lazy.

7) ibid.

8) What the fuck?

9) I don't think you have a very good idea about anything, incrowdish or not.

10) I'd hate for you to leave. If I've ever suggested anything of the kind, I'm truly sorry.

PS-Thanks for answering my points. It bothers me to no end when people don't.
Re: a comment on Sauvignon by Dovina 20-Mar-05/1:31 AM
Oh. Then it's simply not a very good metaphor, or very useful in this poem. And I still find it hard to believe. But then I'm not Californian. Anyway, sorry :-(
