Charging! Clear!
just restarting an old thread...here's something that would look good on the waterfront - if they can just build something that
we can get Eno to project on
(no Telecom ads thanks!) -
Maybe not so much "Don't sell us down the river"
but more "take me to the reivers"
The modern day Freebooters
as long as they get the order right:
Rape, pillage then burn!
(though the reverse works in the digital age) -
..more trivial typing terrors...
spring dancelfoor
Spring is Sprung!
and I dunno what a dancelfoor is...
maybe Santa's spare reindeer team?
(that Blitzem's no slug...)
:- )ahh the Brevet Club
Androidss, Bilders, Toy Love
what a gig...yrs
Gerald McBoing Boing
(being shot at by the Herco Pilots!) -
Stealing Your Thunder...
or Thunder your umm..."The Thunder Annual"
surely you mean The Thunderbirds Annual 1971
and this one has more 'Tracy Elements' as it were
I guess at worst you could be accused of Gerrymandering a Virgil Reality...
-
dowsed it in whatever fluids...
Nooo! say it ain't so... surely doused...
ok dowse may be a variant (where there's a willow there's a divine way) but douse is more in keeping with the souse in-tomed!
;- ) -
That must be a puns per square inch record.
Ta Philip - You should see how many puns I can get to dance on the head of an angel ;- )
is that MS Comic Sans?
Robyn - I think that is in keeping with the arch stance of the annual (and not a 'spanner' in the works...)
-
The piper at the gates of dawn... *
Pied Beauty
Joe, G M "lightning" Hopkins nails it!
Gawd _ _ _ _ _ (insert preferred deity here) forbid
we ever lose our sense of wonder and awe...- shine on you crazy diamond...
*sadly Syd Barrett burnt his out, but not before invoking the childhood magic of Rat & Mole's meeting with Pan in The Wind in the Willows, in Pink Floyd's debut album in '67. - Simile play perhaps...

First Man to Stuff 50 Marshmallows Up His Nose (Carl Crowley)
is this the same Carl Crowley sponsored as Artist in Residence 2010 (maximum security) by The Reserve Bank? - I trust he liberated the Marshmallows in a Situationist jape...
Heathcliffian depths...
Unfortunately my 'Blasted Heath Cliff Notes' doesn't have a handy 'Bronté-saurus' at the end (moor's the pity), so much of Ellis Bell's gothic prose is a mystery to me - (though obviously "Thrushcross Grange" is a Yeats inflection)... Still it could have all ended much 'moor' happily if poor Heathcliff had been able to dry off by a Cath-heater!*
*(Tubular bowels anyone? he said,
taking the pith yet again...) -
That Brion Gysin was a cut-up wasn't he...
"Writers don't own their words. Since when do words belong to anybody? 'Your very own words,' indeed! And who are you?"
- 'Cut-Ups Self-Explained' in Brion Gysin
Let the Mice In *(an aside - here's a link to a 1930s animation
"The Idea" based on Frans Masereel's work - enjoy)... and let's not forget that other famous cut up,
aka bi-Bill from Tangiers... ( just Beat it!)
... as Burroughs said:
- "When you cut into the present
the future leaks out."*Bibliomancy - is this then the shape of things to come?
(another aside - the wider discussion's heart is all about content / information, and the filtering thereof. Words are processed in one part of the brain - and images in another, read words are processed differently to spoken words and sung words and verse are processed somewhere else again... the content / understanding lies in the inferential interstices...
... a personal space of dappled meaning...)- that's all my $5 words used up for the day! : - )
The discussion on Witi's book, it seems to me, is mostly about intent - and whether it was laziness, laissez-faire or arrogance - whatever the outcome it has been a timely warning to all about fair play and attribution...
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you - a simple contract...
(*ps I lifted the quotes above from Wikipedia)
-
Are any others a little concerned about a team called the All Whites going to South Africa?
I'm guessing the "Reverse-Blacks" ain't gonna fly...
