http://philoctetes.org/event/247/ here's an excerpt from Gas From a Lit Burner: Ladies and gents, you are here assembled To hear why earth and heaven trembled Because of the black and sinister arts Of an Irish writer in foreign parts. He sent me a book ten years ago. I read it a hundred...

Peter Gabriel owned MTV in the late 1980's, that's all I remember.

good call on TE Hulme. James Joyce wrote some excellent poetry when he was 19, but it's hard to find. One of his best books is called "Gas from a Lit Burner" - "Chamber Music" is also worth reading if you don't mind Joyce's piss fetish (Chamber Music = the chamber pot)

if you're looking to start an illegal drug cartel i'd go with the Phillipines over Mexico, just saying.

not sure I would call that poetry Josef. The Pound imagist poems are really excellent. So are the Cantos and the Noh translations. i've been into Russian Futurism for a while now: "To All and Everything" "No. It can’t be. No! You too, beloved? Why? What for? Darling, look - I came, I brought...

i like "nexal". i've used that in some fake science research papers.

no one else will think this is funny, because it isn't, but phrases like "aggravated sodomy" and "sexual predator" crack me up for some reason.

"i am a sexual predator and i use facebook."

this is for a new volume in the Deleuze Connection series, published by some university press, can't remember. Deleuze and Sex Edited by Frida Beckman ”Making love is not just becoming as one, or even two, but becoming as a hundred thousand.” (Anti-Oedipus) For Gilles Deleuze, sexuality...

i googled "Christian Party" and this superbly-designed website was the first result: http://christianparty.net/ some enlightened/evolved stuff here: http://christianparty.net/wtc.htm

lol, i wanted to do something similar but lacked the technical know-how. well done. at least something was accomplished in this thread :D

ha, or pretentious crappie:

generally academics are the only people who read/reference the material you were making fun of, so pretty much

if you use facebook look up the "Shite Gifts for Academics" app. It kind of sums up the experience. It's just a sad life. As a graduate student in English i'm somewhere between 'prison inmate' and 'crack-addicted auto-mechanic' on the socio-economic scale. some of my favorite "shite gifts"...
