Bukowski wrote some sharp, eloquent poetry.

You really think so? I think his poetry is especially worthless. There's value in work that is intentionally repulsive at times, I'll give you that.

I might even put him in the pile with "people i'd bring back to life tokill them again."

Ha. I came to this last post first. Made me laugh out loud. Thanks for restoring my sense of humor.

And Noel, have you forgiven me yet, mate?

Would i have said so otherwise? It happens to be the case. Though your ungenerous and ignorant assessment of his work is no surprise. He fell out of favour in academic circles a long time ago.

I'll leave you with two quotes- one from Jean Genet:

"The best poet in America"

The other from his gravestone:

"Don't Try."

Apologies for the thread drift Mr. Tea, I promise i won't do it again if you change your avatar ;)

What's wrong with you? It's clearly the best avatar ever. :cool:

Yes, but rather distracting. I keep thinking it's a baby's foot in his mouth, and then have a vague desire to zoom in to find out whether it is or not, and then decide not to, just in case it is.

I think what's wrong with you would probably be the more pertinent question ;)

what can i say, it just makes my visits to dissensus less....wholesome

i'm afraid i find myself scrolling it off the edge of the screen :rolleyes:

However you have now also contributed to the probably irreversible thread drift, so i feel better anyway.

personally i was surprised by the initial responses as to how well adjusted you all are. i'd have expected a little more transgression/ breaking of societal boundaries during people's last 24.

The best thing about that is deciding it's finally time to turn in, and winding down before bed with a whisky and some music while the sun rises.

It's astonishing the number of people - even a lot of people who were too young to be politically aware while she was in power - who noticeably shudder or clench up when she appears unexpectedly on TV....

Oh, and somewhere near on topic, do other people get those dreams where you're in a situation where you know you're going to die and a bizarre sense of peace and resignation sets in before you wake up feeling really freaked out?

Sounds like an idea for a thread - Dead people you wish you could bring back to life just so you can kill them.

Credit where it's due Mr Tea. ;)

FVX: I'll change my avatar today I think, I've had that one for a while anyway. It just, shall we say, grabbed me!

A day is so short! What can you possibly do?

I think I'd like to meet the last one sober. Well, maybe with a drink in hand.

A week would be so much harder to think about. You could possibly accomplish a lot but you would still be freaking out the whole time. How could you sleep?

A day forces you to accept your fate quickly and focus on what's important - like getting completely mashed out of your mind.
