I've always wanted to meet him.
I met the <Grand Piano> once. Nice chap. |

|
| Aug-23-08 | | Boomie: The Dominator, Brankat and JFQ conspiring to bring mirth into the world. Diabolical!. What's the deal with Mac the Knife? I can't find any triggers that set him off. |

 | | Domdaniel: <Harv> Never mind if there's a flaw -- I can't find one, and an engine would rather explode than accept the bungee rule. Your insanely complex position is very beautiful, like bungee jumping from Chartres Cathedral with a rare spider's web. Possibly suicidal too. |

 | | Domdaniel: <Boomie> -- <triggers>
Try saying "You got a light, mack?" in a firm but slightly menacing tone, like a 1950s teddyboy after ten pints of gin-and-cider. If you mean the recursive one - mcmckmackmc - the world's his trigger. Or so it seems. |

 | | Domdaniel: Speaking of Chartres Cathedral, didn't Henry Adams write a book about it, a century or so ago? With a title that applies - almost, kinda, sorta - to this alleged sockpuppet triangle involving JFQ, Brankat and possibly even moi: <The Virgin and the Dynamo>. No saying who is which, if indeed any.
Other relevant novels from the period are <Three Men in a Boat> and <Locus Solus>. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: It's a chapter in a really big book.
It's well known in "history of psychiatry" and, apparently, your circles as well. Lesser known are the other 300 chapters. (well to me, anyway-- they forced me to read the Virgin and the Dynamo in 19th century American Literature Crass-- I doubt I'll get to the rest of the Chapters any time soon.) It's a multivolume <History of America> in fact and the best "subjective" display of historiography since <Churchill's> BRITAIN (where he simply assumes Robin Hood existed-- heh). Psychoanalytic literary scholarship is interested in this chapter, for the same reason they are interested in his relative's <The Turn of the Shoe>... Mythographers also enjoy the <Virgin Moscow Dynamo Hockey Club> chapter for reasons so obvious I've forgotten what they are now. Theologians, unaccountably, take a dim view of such nonsense. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: In Canada, you'll be pleased to know that we refer to <Frasier Crane's> seminal naturalist short story as <Three Men and Aboot>. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Neither <The Virgin and the Dynamo> nor <Three Men in a Boat> is a novel. However, the idea that they are novels is in fact novel. Mrs. Pedant

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Actually, you may have noticed that <Churchill> lived after <James> had died. Negating all of my points.
Never mind then! |

 | | Domdaniel: <Jess> My circles, in the Adams case, are those of a part-time Pynchonista. Adams refers to himself (at least in 'The Education of Henry Adams') in the 3rd person, as does a Pynchon character named Stencil. Everything is some kind of plot. |

 | | Domdaniel: No, Churchill was nearly immortal. Victory at Blenheim, built a big castle, couple of centuries boozing, off to the Boer war for a bracing pick-me-up, then First Lord of the Admirable Creighton, Winnie the Pooh, a 1965 five-shilling piece, and a state funeral. Thatch should be so lucky. |

 | | Domdaniel: For sockpups, we seem to exchange a lot of datums. One of those street persons mumbling conspiracies to itself, perhaps? What happens if we fall in the forest? |
|
| Aug-23-08 | | hoodrobin: <jess> <Dom> If Churchill assumes Robin Hood existed, he may just go wrong, imo. Sorry for interfering. |
|
| Aug-23-08 | | Boomie: What is the sound of one sock puppy babbling after falling in the forest? Boomie the Koanhead |

 | | Domdaniel: <hoodrobin> You exist, don't you? QED. Interference patterns just tend to make things more interesting. "Have you met them? The poor? Wonderful people, but frightfully ... you know ... poor."

 | | Domdaniel: Does anyone know why (a) the airport in Nottingham is called East Midlands, while (b) there is a Robin Hood Airport miles away in Hull, and (c) a Robinhood Industrial Estate in Dublin, which isn't even on the same island? Odd. |

- Hey, guys - no need to waterboard the sockpuppets. This one is squeaking. Now give us the rest, Boomster. Cut a deal. You know who your friends are.> We shall never give up. We shall never surrender. I blame the IPod people planting aliens seeds in our pointy little heads. I come from the Planet Janet and serve The Big Head who is so great he eats when he's hungry and drinks when he's thirsty. Boomie Baba Rum Das |
