This reminds me of one of the reasons I quit playing Magic. At the local shop I frequented, the clientele was mostly younger kids and the retarded, for some reason (as well as some more solid players who were good people through and through, but whatever). The point is, it became the fashion to say "shunned" as an insult to someone. This grew old as soon as it first drew breath. My protests fell on deaf ears, as they so often do.
I saw a pretty good porno once called "Deep Thoeau."
It was hot and intelligent.
I saw a pretty good porno once called Kinski's Paganini. Violins and cunnilingus!
I must find Neverland. And I ain't talking about the children's book.
Yes, well. Gilbert Chesterton once starred in a farcical western movie with George Bernard Shaw and Hilaire Belloc, directed by J.M. Barrie. It has not survived, that I know of.

Then loom'd his streaming majesty From out that wine-dark fog, And spake he unto all our crew: "Go forth, and read my blog."

At your behest, I shall avoid using the word. However, I will have to be compensated. Via stimulants.

My sexual fetishes tend towards male dominated, thus I cannot truly appreciate cunnilingus like I can appreciate mouth sodomy *shrug*

And yet, I'd give my left arm to see it, if Chesterton wrote it our just wrote his own lines.

I, uh
Okay
I think Paganini would satisfy you, possibly. The man uses up women like so much tissue.

The film was improvised, so far as I can tell, and also silent. There may have been a sword fight just before it was to be presented at some dinner. The details escape me, but you can read about it in GK's autobiography. In fact, go here, and do a search for the word "Barrie." The first instance of it should appear in the sentence, "It began by Bernard Shaw coming down to my house in Beaconsfield, in theheartiest spirits and proposing that we should appear together, disguised as Cowboys, in a film of some sort projected by Sir James Barrie." Read from around there to the end of the chapter. I feel you might enjoy it immensely.

If you could sit down for an evening of conversation with any three people in history(living or dead), who would it be, and why?
1. Gilbert Chesterton - Because he's the man, that's why.
2. Johnny Cash - Same reason.
3. Horatio Nelson - See 1 and 2.
Also, I'm working on your PM now. Should be done by tomorrow.

Hmm . . . But does he physically or verbally destroy them?

It has come to my attention that it is customary to have clan titles within a clan. I have already chosen mine, I suggest everyone else does the same as a means to shamelessly promote the clan.
I'm going to pretend I understand what Denver and Furor are talking about. Actually, I will jsut back away slowly.

You're obviously an ignorant conservative. I blame your hill-billy Mom and Dad.
edit: speaking of nauseating things, a few weeks ago my friend sent me a link to a conspiracy website that suggested Bush and the Mossad were behind 9-11.
Turns out he wasn't joking, and he's been trying to "convince" me that it's the truth ever since. He also keeps talking about how important it is to maintain a right to privacy regarding abortion, but how it's even more important to repeal the second amendment.
I swear that he was normal last year, he's only turned into this after about two months of college.
Oh, and as for the three people:
1) Gauss - probably the greatest mathematician ever.
2) Maimonides - one of my favorite philosophers.
3) Herzl - the founder of modern Zionism
Started 9/11. Thoroughly engrossing..no, that's not quite the word. Quite nauseating. Yes. That's better.
There are too many people in history to pick three. =(

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Is the Unofficial Official thing going to be universal? I don't really care either way, but I always like to project a sense of clan unity.

But that would potentially defeat the purpose of entering the contest in the first place. I'm doing it because I want more money. In theory.
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
I'm talking about writing down your piece on a single dollar, and then burning it.
More for the symbolism than anything.
Symbolism of what? None of my poetry is about money or politics or anything like that. I'm more of a cavalry charge sort of gent.
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
Burn a flag of your enemy as a symbol of victory?
I didn't know you had a flag, Denver.
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
Hmm. If you wish, we could become e-enemies.
But that sounds entirely too nerdy.
How about we just trade far too intelligent and esoteric quips that only a small minority of people would understand, and even fewer truly appreciate?
As for a flag:
How could it be nerdy? We can have e-fights where we attack each other with asterisked statements.
I can live with that.
I remember that show. I miss it. I miss all of the good, clean fun of the late '80's early '90's cartoon scene. We shall not see its like again.
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
**** you ****ing ***, you ****sucking mother of ****s.
As can I. We shall have to endeavor to make it a good reference//joke every time, though.
Never again.
I mourn the passing of my childhood, but I revel in the sins of my immaturity.
Not quite what I had in mind.
More of this sort of thing:
*stabs Denver*
lol that's what thoreau said
Well, don't revel too long. We must all grow up sometime.
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:

That's right.

I bought 9/11. I haven't started it yet, as I am currently finishing another book; but I shall get to it post haste.
I thought I'd pose a question that I saw on News the other day:

Can't wait. I look forward to being utterly schooled.

Hmm . . . But does he physically or verbally destroy them?
I really will endeavor to do this.
Yes, Gustave Doré does that to people.
It's Klaus Kinski; of course he does. That's practically how he introduces himself.
