Beast of Burden
The mass outpouring of cheap, cloying emotion in the wake of Bowie's death was enough to turn the strongest stomachs. A mere pop star forced into the role of ersatz Saint, to the detriment and diminishment of all concerned"
Oliver Craner

I'm not sure I actually wrote that one, although I did say something like it.

Ive long suspected it, but it seems that beneath your warped, decrepit, borderline sociopathic exterior, there is... ...nothing. Malign accretions orbiting a void. A gyre of the self.

Ironically this accusation could probably have been levelled at Bowie himself. I think Ian Penman diagnosed something like this in his Bowie essay.

On an unrelated note, I still occasionally find myself chuckling at nomad's "I smell Hegel".

- shitting myself in Egypt, multiple times. here's a 'hilarious' account of this time in my life from another forum:

''Might not have even been the last time but I shat myself in Egypt about four-five years ago. I dunno how I got a dodgy stomach (could have been any number of reasons) - all I know is that I was drinking a can of Sprite in my hotel room, looking forward to a boat trip down the nile which was commencing the next day, when suddenly I did a fart that was more liquid than the contents of the can I was sipping from. I rushed to the toilet, squitted a bit and laughed it off - 'So that was my experience of diahorrea while travelling' I thought, smugly.

I spent the rest of the night shitting and sweating and vomiting. At one point I was sick in the sink at the SAME TIME as letting loose a pound of chocolate Angel Delight from my arse-end. I went to bed, teary eyed and turdy arsed, about five hours later. I shat myself in my sleep, waking up to find myself tucked into what was effectively a gigantic sheet of used Andrex.

Then on the boat down the nile, I lay on my back and moaned a lot for about two days, occasionally leaving the boat to go and do a wet shit in the desert sands while stray dogs circled around me hoping that some Pedigree chum would fall out of my bumhole.

One night (and I'm not lying) I had a dream where I was in a 'who can shit the fastest?' contest. The guy judging the contest counted down from 3. On '1' I woke up. If I could have shrunk the boat we were on to the size of a chocolate mini roll than we could have gone on a little cruise down my trouser legs.''

- shat in a hedge on new years day about five years or more ago. left a party in the middle of the countryside while pissed up... stormed off, basically, with the intention of walking home (even though i was miles from home and had no idea how to even get close to near it), ended up walking around in pitch darkness half freezing to death. that was when the hedge shitting occured.

- several other times in numerous fields. i grew up in a fairly rural area. its par for the course.

Your prose was much less cynical back then.

Was just amazed you could think I would write or could write "pedigree chum spurting out my bumhole"

most cities' streets developed organically over time and as such are rather geometrically arbitrary. they curve and bend and meander. they're tangled and intertwined. they're more akin to nature's randomness rather than feeling at all deliberate.

new york is different. new york is pre-planned, it's streets are divided into clear grids. straight lines and "blocks".

as such it's only natural that it's inhabitants are drawn to a notion that there's an underlying mathematical order to the world as there's one to their immediate environment. hence all the new york rapper's 5%er mathematics.
