$0.02: momus is conservative because his conception of art and his appreciation of beauty is (willfully?) narrow and (willfully?) solipsistic.

i thought you might have meant the michael moore one. but you're right.

when i was taking a cig break at work friday (i now work in lower manhattan), i was approached by 2 lubavichers who thought i was jewish. i told them that i wasn't, and they politely bid me adieu.

does that count?

that i was smoking should've been the tip-off. i bet that the moshiach won't be a smoker.

An old Jew once lost his snuffbox made of horn, on his way to the House of Study. He wailed: ‘Just as if the dreadful exile weren't enough, this must happen to me! Oh me, oh my, I've lost my snuffbox made of horn!' And then he came upon the sacred goat. The sacred goat was pacing the earth, and the tips of his black horns touched the stars. When he heard the old Jew lamenting, he leaned down to him, and said, ‘Cut a piece from my horns, whatever you need to make a new snuffbox.'

The old Jew did this, made a new snuffbox, and filled it with tobacco. Then he went to the House of Study and offered everyone a pinch. They snuffed and snuffed, and everyone who snuffed it cried: ‘Oh, what wonderful tobacco! It must be because of the box. Oh, what a wonderful box! Wherever did you get it?' So the old man told them about the good sacred goat. And then one after the other they went out on the street and looked for the sacred goat.

The sacred goat was pacing the earth and the tips of his black horns touched the stars. One after another the people went up to him and begged permission to cut off a bit of his horns. Time after time the sacred goat leaned down to grant the request. Box after box was made and filled with tobacco. The fame of the boxes spread far and wide. At every step he took, the sacred goat met someone who asked for a piece of his horns.

Now the sacred goat still paces the earth – but he has no horns.

"See this is why I love ILE. Plato, Barthes, Breton, Seneca and Ducasse are invoked in the midst of a heated exchange about netiquette - all within about 20 posts."

OTM. I'm just sittin' back with popcorn, enjoying the show.

The way I see it, there's a lot of brilliant writers here NOW DON'T GET SHY ITS TRUE and they simply need a pretext for pyrotechnics. Avril Lavigne will do fine. It's like when a bunch of physicists and chaos theorists get together for a series of hi-tech experiments to determine whether there's any validity to the butter side down rule.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 04:52 (nineteen years ago) link

the music mole's simile is apt.
i wish i didn't write so crap

(Sorry about that lame-ass rhyme,
I have neither the creativity nor time
To conjure up something worthwhile
But at least it's more fun than turning dials!)

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 21 June 2004 05:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Here's my personal favourite. It reminds me of Erasmus Darwin:

Let me repeat, J0hn, I do think it's relevant;
All binaries compel us to privilege one element.
You say you weren't privileging 'roots' above 'becoming'
Then why did you say 'roots' without 'becoming' was 'just' something?

You wanted to have your cake and eat it too;
Eating without having wasn't good enough for you?

they also wash it, which is why giving them soap is so much fun!

(fuck washing a racoon etc)

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:24 (nineteen years ago) link

binaries of necessity privilege one element.
this is why we should reject them

J0hn, your position here is absurd
He who doesn't use binaries doesn't use words!

The difference between our positions is, dontchaknow
Mine is pragmatic, yours braggadocio

I reject binaries after I've ridden 'em
You use them daily, but then -- whoops -- you've hidden 'em!

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 10:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Momus, could it be your antics
Owe something to Tibetan tantrics?

seriously someone say BLURILLAZ or post the picture of gareth staring at the phone or something and we can lock this bitch

ken in new york as he pretends
to be gareth who would stand

on the road with pint in hand
with phone he can't comprehend

M, I don't claim
not to use them myself:

I only assert
that your "use then discard" claim

is hogwash:
which it is.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:35 (nineteen years ago) link

("why we should reject them":
well, we should! that we don't or can't as of yet

oughtn't reduce us
to models of partisanship

like your good
self.)

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

(as a final aside before we return
to the question you successfully derailed

us from, namely, your inexplicable
defense of Vice and its open,

demonstrated, asked-and-answered
racism:

"I use them and discard them" makes me wonder
if it's cool with you

for a person to vote Bush
as long as she isn't registered Republican.)

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 11:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Is riding and rejecting binaries
Dualism - in nondual finery?

The reason being, if I say
I discard my theories every day
Could this harden into another lie
More dogma with which to live life by?

Its seems through words it can't be settled
Can a theory grasp the nettle?

I am looking for the original Avril thread. I can't even remember what it was about! ...Avril?

― roxymuzak, Saturday, 24 November 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link

If you met Avril Lavigne at a party and she was well drunk would you lie to her about her music in the hope of copping a feel?

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Saturday, 24 November 2007 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Snap! I never thought that one would be it.
