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!)

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

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.)

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?

Wow. This is sure a lot more interesting than when threads get locked at the evangelical christian message board I used to hang out at!

seven months pass...
I still want that lasergator!

I forget, what did the raccoon have to do with anything?

let's talk more about the 'mods on salary' concept.

the deep poetry battle between darnlelle and momus would be awesome if they were both actually famous.

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

Snap! I never thought that one would be it.
