Here, (no humour or Emoticons allowed) with o'erweening pride, and an unshakable conviction in our intellectual and moral superiority, we shall draw upon the bottomless well of wisdom and insight garnered through years of late-night drug abuse, hormonal and chemical imbalances, together with incipient paranoia and persecution complexes, to correct each other's spelling, pride ourselves on our exhaustive knowledge of really, really obscure Teutonic bands, and debate and argue about Progressive Rock and the ultimate pain of existance.

Robert Fripp will start us off: "We are not a band to be enjoyed."

Frank Zappa replies : The person who stands up and says, ``This is stupid,''
either is asked to `behave' or, worse,is greeted with a cheerful
``Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!''

The connotation is quite obvious -

Mr. Robert Fripp Esq. obviously meant that they were a band to be worshipped.

Here, here. I think I saw a bit of emotion in the last comment. We'll have none of that.  (Stern expression with twisted eyebrows).

Reminds me of third grade with Sister Mary Whackenhut, a stoic penguin of gargantuan proportion. "Pain," she said, 'is the reward of good deeds done poorly." Misery, the only true valuable emotion. "One must never tap thy toes, she said, "they are the devil's tools." (sour face, eyes closed)

 

Tut,tut.

^ Good. I want to see more of this sort of thing here (no exclamation mark). Life is too fraught with pain and turmoil for humour to have any rightful place in it.

Thank you.

Frank Zappa had a tumulous and painful time near his death. His agony culminated in a fatal end, with his body succumbing to prostate cancer. I can still remember his last song, "Why does it hurt when I pee?"

Glass, you are in error: The word is spelled "tumultuous."

Please strive to be correct with the spelling of any future missives.

Yours in rigid humourlessness,

P.

Peter, Peter, Peter,

Your use of the word "rigid" ALMOST put a "smile" upon my grim visage. Please, Peter, Please, do not use words with phallic leanings. Sister Mary Wackenhut would be enraged at your "penile reference."

(Stern face, no exclamation)

Frank is now one with the nothingness that inevitably awaits us all.

Why bother getting out of bed?

That's "visible," Velvetclown.

All is meaningless, but proper spelling will still enhance the palpable, sobering, inescapable reality of your tombstone.

Sigh.

That's better, Carrion-Crow (the coal-black harbinger of death).

It has been brought to our attention that we have erstwhile been too free with our juvenile and futile "whimsy." This must, perforce, cease.

Actually, Master Rideout, I prefer to think of myself as the well-tanned harbinger of ouch.

Your attempts at levity are quite misplaced here, Mr. Crow.

Please do not attempt to make me smile -- it interferes with my nihilistic cogitations.

You have the right to remain silent.

· If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say may be used against you in court.

· You have the right to speak with an attorney prior to questioning, and have that attorney present during any interview.

· If you wish to speak with an attorney but cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you free of charge.

^ Ah, yes. Alcohol and its fleeting, illusory "happiness."

Yet the next morning, the opressive clouds of bleak despair return -- blacker than ever.
