Then again (yawn, here he goes again with those tiresome anecdotes) that one time I met Tom and Nicole Kidman together, Nic and I were about the same height, and enjoyed a very brief exchange at eye level, while Tom looked daggers at me from somewhere nearer the floor.

I'm really glad the scientologists hadn't taught him Ron's Special Death-Ray Glare back then. Or if they had, he was set to stun.

John Cooper Clarke puts it even better:

<In the pleasure domes and ersatz bodega bars of the free world the mechanics of love grind like organs of iron to a standstill.>

Almost as "Romantic" as this bit of absolute nonsense from <F. Schlegel> (not to be confused with his brother August, or his lesser known Jewish brother <Bagel>):

"Only in the lightning bolt of death does the purpose of existence become clear."

Exsqueeze me? Baking Powder?

We are aware that scientific experiments occasionally result in shock, horror, destruction of habitat, and rendering vast swathes of the universe inhospitable to human life. But that's progress, innit.

We believe that saying "test, test" will have an apotropaic effect. But the hypothesis has not been properly tested at altitude yet.

Time to push the envelope?

<What a simply GHASTLY image>

<chessmoron> posted the answer to your question <kk> in my forum, plus there are answers to your <Kane> trivia there.

Sonja: You were my one great love.

Boris: Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm dead.

Sonja: What's it like?

There's the semantic angle - <messages of a sexual nature, or that would be generally considered offensive> - um, I think not, General. Nobody here said 'kill', for example.

But we shall see. I don't much care for censorship, but I accept some norms for civilized restraint, and all that. But I also think that only tribal/racist abuse words are really nasty, and 'obscenity' is in the stout cortex of the observer.

I imagine <everything> here <could> be considered offensive, really.

Faculty members (of Unmentionable University) can vote, offer messages of recrimination and/or support, run away and hide, build nuclear shelters, revert to pre-experiment euphemisms, whatever. I'm listening.

Am I urinated off? Not really. And it's better than being urinated on.

Hey, the experiment had a result. Science has progressed. And Thor/Zeus exists and he doesn't like me.

I knew them lightning bolts was dangerous.

I really doubt a member complained (see? i typed a euphemism right there).

They won't close your forum, they just want to you to delete the sex-related words, it sounds? Well we've already read all of them posts anyhoo, no? I feel responsible here man. I guess the <Valentine's Day> Defence won't hold. Didn't hold for <Bugs Moran's> Gang in Chicago either... Sigh. Whither love?
