Re: A Thing I Must Do by Dovina	2-Feb-05/4:15 PM
This is really good. I liked the first two stanzas, particularly the second. I didn't like so much the meta-commentary of the last 7 lines. If you are serious about this one, try rewriting the last half a few times and see if you can stay in the image more and let the image make the commentary. (it's the old show not tell. First two stanzas are Very Good showing. Last two are more telling)

I think he's not American, hence his ability to use (and comprehend a use for) all those pesky shades of gray between 0 and 10.

"no atheists in foxholes" Some Xtian once said this, and Xtians ever since, in their fashion of repeating things that sound to them like they should be true as though they were true without any regard to whether they actually are true, have parrotted it. What evidence can you cite that atheists stop being atheists in extreme circumstances? There is no such evidence; it doesn't happen. It's Xtian bullshit.

There's nothing to see here. Move along. This comes from a whole different realm than you do. ...but...tell me you at least did get the "daddy wasn't planning on buying no more stuff" reference. That one HAS to be obvious to virtually anyone who grew up speaking English. Or did you grow up speaking English? I can't tell.

Re: a comment on Revaluations by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/8:57 AM
I tried really hard to be a bum on the street several years ago, to get that whole authenticity thing going. I sold or put in storage everything I owned and hit the streets with a backpack, some photocopies of my pomes, and 40 Cdn dollars in my pocket. Unfortunately I failed miserably, as over the next 11 months I earned around $14,000 U.S. dollars with my crappy pomes -- which, since I paid no rent during that time (I was continually offerred places to stay, or camped) and paid no taxes, was a reasonably decent amount of money with which to enjoy what was essentially a year-long vacation. Most embarrassing moment? I was on Telegraph avenue all decked out like a hippy selling photocopied pomes tackily signed with metallic gold ink (it increased how much money people "donated" for some stupid reason)and up walks a woman I went to university with...she was doing her doctorate at Berkeley. lol. She definitely seemed to buy into my bum on the streets disguise.

I'm DEEPLY hurt you've made no comment on my adjunct/punt/cunt limerick further down the page. In the context of the exchange it is a part of, it's gotta be one of my all-time cleverest limericks evar. Doncha think?
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/8:22 AM
surprised that your thought process works like this?: "they criticized my pome > I hate them > I will look up one of their pomes and vote "0" on it. That'll show'm" no. Not really surprised at all. In fact, it quite confirms my previous opinion of you.
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/6:00 AM
...you old goat.
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/5:59 AM
please don't change your heart too much...your comments are generally far more rewarding to read than people's pomes.
Re: James The Dashing Pirate by thepinkbunnyofdoom	1-Feb-05/5:16 AM
This is excellent. Ending every stanza with a period hurts it. You didn't edit or work on it after writing it, did you? A little effort could tighten up the rhyming scheme. And fix "your" => you're. (this constantly slips through my fingers too, it drives me nuts)

If I'd a doubt left 'bout the young poet's gender Luzr's comment above would soon end her. Like a dog, he's so fast To get his nose up her ass, That I'm a little bit frightened he'll rend her.
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/2:38 AM
Interesting...you show the same lack of awareness of the distinction between the adverbial and adjectival forms of words in your comments as you do in your pomes. Missing that part of your brain, perchance?
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/2:35 AM
BTW: here is your clumsy attempt rewritten in actual limerick form; just so you know how it's done for future battles: I know it may come as a shock To one who assumes gender ad hoc Is this retort better? Has it gotten you wetter? I'm a chick, so guess what -- I've no cock!
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	1-Feb-05/2:15 AM
Your reply's an unneeded adjunct And you fail my aspersion to punt: Though the pronoun was wrong You've no need for a dong There's protrusion enough in a cunt.

"It's good fun getting people all defensive" -- Yes! we make 'm stew, make 'm cry, make 'm pensive but not you -- you just sputter and endlessly mutter how little it means to you when rankers the tens give.
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	31-Jan-05/6:24 PM
What kind of rejoinder is that? Are you saying your groin's, er, less protruding than flat? For me there's no sport In such a lousy retort I enjoin you, do better than that
Re: POEM FOR PREPS by Brittanyy	31-Jan-05/5:47 PM
Here's a girly with multiple letters, in her name, scorifying her "betters". But of course she's just jealous, she'd love having some fellas -- if she'd only the bits to go get hers!
Re: a comment on Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	31-Jan-05/5:36 PM
There once was a pome masturbatory that tried to tell some dumb nymph's little story but there's nothing on google to show it's not new, go check, you'll see it ain't stolen glory!
Re: Depth of Illusion by Beyond_Dreams	31-Jan-05/5:18 PM
Hmm, so just what IS this "depth of illusion" painter's muse? an allusion? delusion? ..ah no, it's in BD's pants, you see it's his little fantasy -- that he has while he rubs his protrusion.
