TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Quote from: The FerretI maintain my stance that prose is not a lesser form of expression than poetry.  I'll also add that I think poetry is easier to abuse than prose.

I can agree with that. I do like some poety, though.
Somebody e-mailed this to me. Synchronysity, eh?
musophobist
===========
[Brit. myoo-ZOH-fuh-bist; US myoo-ZAH-fuh-bist] a person who regards poetry with suspicious dislike. From Greek words meaning 'muse' and 'fear'. This word was used (and probably coined) by the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909), who quite possibly inspired more than a few musophobes.
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

gnimbley!  I fuckin love your battle-ready avatar!


Oh, and chuck-a-commie-turd, You said something about poets being musicians who can't write a song.... Fuck, man, most song lyrics are, in general, some of the most inane shit set to words... they simply do not usually hold up when separated from the music.  

Oh, a coupla good poets:  TS Eliot, and Ezra Pound.

yeah, that was kinda my point...if you're gonna write crappy poetry, at least put it to some decent music, so that it won't suck quite as bad...I mean, I fucking LOVE Obituary...but their lyrics are complete and total shit...wouldn't stand for a second on their own...but add some frenetic double-bass drumwork and a lightspeed chunk-ass guitar riff, and bingo, no one cares that the words suck anymore...

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
