I guess I better stick to intelligent posts. Earlier today I saw someone who looked exactly like Kate Bush might have looked as a 36-year-old! I'm still on fire. |

My intelligence can be read by a barcode scanner. It's always a 13-digit number. I must be an ISBN.

I have The Line, The Cross, & The Curve, so I can see exactly what Kate looked like at 36 . Except for those parts underneath the clothing of course. Which is probably a good thing as my head would explode. Edited by Slartibartfast - April 25 2008 at 17:48 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

And now for something completely different. I need opinions of intelligent people on the following issue:
I've been writing a book of poems to become famous, rich, and loved by many (girls). In its present form it's divided into five (5) parts. Four (4) of them have a concept, one (1) of them doesn't: I. Concept (several poems that form a story) II. Concept (several poems with similar themes) III. Concept (several poems with similar themes) IV. No concept (several crappy poems with nothing to do with each other) V. Concept (one long poem divided in several parts) Here's what I want to ask: 1. Does it seem gay or repetitive if the word "garden" appears in most of the poems in part I of the book? 2. Does it seem unintelligent if some of the poems clearly imply to the theories of Erich von Däniken? 3. Does it seem childish if some of the poems are based on comparing certain parts of the human body to certain parts of the house (in a relatively non-erotic way)? 4. Does the fact that part IV doesn't have a concept at all make the whole book seem unfinished? 5. Does the fact that all of the poems in part IV are bad make the other parts look better than they really are? 5. Does it seem pretentious to refer to Wittgenstein? 6. Who would win in a fight: Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal? |

There are no rules in poetry. I think a poetry book of 125 pages with "garden" being the only word used (probably about 8000 times I would guess) is clever and certainly drives the point home. Don't forget to scatter punctuation symbols across each page.
Like this: garden GARden # g arden +* GARDEN garden << , % gaRDen garden garden garden garden? garden GARden & $~ garden and so on.... |

So you think it's a bad book if there are other words than garden in it?

Doesn't anyone care about my garden? If so, I'll plant it as I wish.

Silly. Just silly. Stephen Hawking's mind would have them all screaming in fear. Or mine for that matter. But the consequences of using it in such a violent situation is beyond imagination. |

I wouldn't say that. Garden juxtaposed with unrelated words would catch my attention too. Like "I tumbled over the boogie bush while three feet eat from the pancake garden." |

Oh, come on. Stephen Hawking's IQ is much less than half what mine would be if they'd only got the damn IQ test questions right in the first place. I mean, I could use my mind in such a situation without reprisal, but then I wouldn't have the energy left to fend off the women attracted by my giant brain. |

Fair. Just relating to understandable amounts of intelligence. After all, most are mere mortals.

Since nobody cares
about my book of poems, how good it will be and how many times the word 'garden' will appear in it, I decided to leave it as it was and send it to the people who will publish it and give me money. Then I'll write another one where the word 'garden' doesn't appear at all. Instead there are words like 'singularity', 'stratosphere' and 'coffee'. Then I'll write another one with words like 'sip', 'moan' and 'frolick'. If I get enough money and write enough poems I have a chance of becoming almost as good as Bukowski. I'm already better than Shakespeare. |

We need to update the official members list. Some of these dudes don't even come to PA anymore.

^ You realize that updating the member list would mean reading or at least browsing through the whole 33 pages of this nonsen... um, intelligence?

Well with my intelligence, clearly I can read it those 33 pages in about 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of a second.
