Do <deconstruction workers> hoot at sexy women as they walk by? |

 | | Domdaniel: Let us all praise the mighty marsupial
Whose pouch is not flaccid or droopy, al
-though life-threatening combat
with a furious wombat
Is no life for a kangaroo groupie, Al.

|
| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: Only at sexy persons of all three genders. |

<special affection for the Poms> LOL we've got it here in Canada too (God Bless the Queen and Commonwealth). As in the phrase <Pommie bastards>, par example. |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | Eyal: <My Mother was a Fish> I suppose that for people who DON'T like to read Faulkner that may very well be his best chapter. |
|
Feb-12-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> A cryptic remark there- do you mean because the narration in this chapter is stripped, bare, concise? As opposed to convoluted, stuffed, endless? (fan of <Absalom Absalom> as well). <twinlark> God Bless Ozzie poetry!! Now THAT'S literature, folks! Marsoop Eyalian Lit 101, taught by Professor <twinlark> |

| | Domdaniel: If Green Gartside's Derrida song is one of the best literary/pop collisions, I think one of the worst was by Echo and the Bunnymen (who were quite good otherwise). I think the lines were simply lifted from somebody's school essay: <John Webster was
One of the best there was
He was the author of
Two major tragedies:
White Duchess, and
The Duchess of Malfi...>
I probably associate this with the Scritti Politti song, cos I bought both records - remember them? - on the same day. |

| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: If you like that you'll love this one by the Queen's portraitist, that esteemed cobber Rolf Harris There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates,
who are gathered 'round him and he says:
Watch me wallabys feed mate.
Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.
Altogether now!
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
just keep me cockatoo cool.
Altogether now!
Take me koala back, Jack,
take me koala back.
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,
so take me koala back.
Altogether now!
Let me Abos go loose, Lou, *
let me Abos go loose.
They're of no further use, Lou,
so let me Abos go loose.
Altogether now!
Mind me platypus duck, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amok, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Altogether now!
Play your digeridoo, Blue,
play your digeridoo.
Keep playing 'til I shoot thro' Blue,
play your digerydoo.
Altogether now!
Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde,
(Spoken) And that's it hanging on the shed.
Altogether now!
(This is the original version: the later ones leave out the slight unsound references to the the indigenous people of this land. The painter himself has expressed deep remorse at that stanza). |

| Feb-12-07 | | Eyal: <jess> I simply meant that since the chapter consists only of this one sentence, there's not much to read here... |
|
Feb-12-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal>
LOL psyche!!
Stripped bare- barely there!
Got you, for once! (I think) |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: Poetry extolling marsupials has an honourable ancient tradition. Only a fragment of the ancient epic poem Beopossum survives as discovered by the great John Craton: Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
possumcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

| Feb-12-07 | | Eyal: <He was the author of
Two major tragedies:
White Duchess, and
The Duchess of Malfi...>
<White Duchess> - I think that would have actually improved the song... |
|
Feb-12-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <twinlark> WOW.
Is that <Irish>, or a version thereof, as in the original language? <All> I'm off for my daily "walk in the woods" and to rent tonight's movie. Just one more question:
If <Monty Python> played chess, would their favorite piece be <The Bishop of East Anglia?> heh
Thanks for all the laughs today, folks. Tummy hurting from laughter. Jester Queenie |

| | Domdaniel: <chapter is stripped, bare, concise?> Mise nu par ses celibitaires, meme?
|
|
Feb-12-07
| | Domdaniel: <sexy persons of all three genders> Um, male sex, female sex, insex? |
|
Feb-12-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Sorry, <Dom> we don't lorn French in the <Excited States>. Adieu, Adieu, or go with God if ya like.
(good one, btw) |
|
Feb-12-07
| | Domdaniel: <Eyal> Devil. Ta. |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: Male, female and convertible. |
|
Feb-12-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Just can't resist one more...
Just tell me one place on earth besides right here, past or present, where a person would actually employ the phrase <extolling Marsupials>? LMAO. This forum reads like a <MPFC> episode. Best regards,
Ann Archy. |

| | Domdaniel: <possumcyninga> Anglo-Saxon attitudes, complete with Thorns and Ashes (the names of those Icelandic-looking runic characters). So Australia have been winning the Ashes for, like 1500 years? |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: <Is that <Irish>, or a version thereof, as in the original language?> I think it's a form of early Austro-Dravidian-Gaelic that was unearthed in the antipodean colonies during an archaeological dig. It lends credence to the theory that Ireland was in fact originally settled by Australian aborigines sailing across the Pacific and around the Cape of Good Hope on a raft made of balsa wood logs imported from South America by prehistoric Norwegian anthropologists. |

| | Domdaniel: <Ms Archy> Have fun out there in Neck-o--the-Woods... Today's gene sequencing *did* produce some diverting collisions. - You'll have to collide, sir, there's been a diversion. |
|
Feb-12-07
| | Domdaniel: <Ireland was in fact originally settled > Ireland has been *settled*??
My God, when? How? Will Blair take the credit? |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | twinlark: In the beginning was the Big Bang. And it was good. It was the sound of an Australian batsmen hitting a Pommie paceman out of the ground and into Hill Street. Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation has been established to be the residual heat left over from the first Aussie sledge which immediately followed the Big Bang. More than 1,500 years I would think. |
|
Feb-12-07
| | Domdaniel: <Australian batsmen hitting a Pommie paceman out of the ground and into Hill Street> And they're still singing the Hill Street Blues?
Thanks for the inputs, Prof. A nice old-fashioned pun-up in *refained* company... I'm disconnecting now as it's well after midnight and my new regime involves sleeping at night. Well a boy can dream, can't he? |
