I'm new here. Poetry will be forthcoming. Stay tuned. Eat-u-sleep-u-dream-u: you seem to be the resident troublemaker, dude. That's cool. I agree with damn near everything you say, but you say it in a most obnoxious way. I work in web development, so I spend a fair amount of time looking at, yes, web sites. There seems to be something about the online medium that makes latent psychological tics rise to the surface in all their glory. You'll note that flame wars never seem to happen on the bulletin board over the water cooler at work, no? I guess I'm just wondering what happened to manners. Just because we can't see your face doesn't mean you're not a dick. (Excuse the language.:))<BR>
<BR>
Btw, the poetry at this site is GREAT. I will make more specific comments once I read further. Sorry if I ruffled feathers.

Somehow I just wish I could see the humor in this One Nut! (Jimmy one nut is what it says on your email) I bet every finger has a different personality and you talk to them all in different voices, but they all agree with everything you say huh?(We won't discuss the hand)<BR>

Passionate...there is that word again.<BR>

Looks like JACKRHYME and Eat u Sleep u Dream u just need to pull them out, see whose is bigger and get it over with! Should we wager to see what we'll find? I know where I'll put MY money!<BR>
<BR>
Jack, you may want to watch some Jeopardy or a few episodes of the Man Show to "bone" up instead of wasting all that time watching potty-mouthed cartoons!

Please NEVER assume you know to what I am referring. The statement above makes no sense to me.<BR>
<BR>
My meaning was that perhaps Jack should seek higher knowledge before going to bat with someone of obviously higher mental prowess.<BR>
<BR>
When I stated they should "pull them out," I was, of course, referring to their brains.  <BR>
<BR>
HAA-HAA??  I so enjoy all these self-titillating types on this site.<BR>

Hello peeps<BR>
<BR>
In the midst of everybody's 'jovial banter', I'd just like to say-<BR>
<BR>
Jon - Regrets - Brilliant, reminded me of a couple of occasions in my long gone distant past<BR>
<BR>
Wordley - If I Said - lovely lovely<BR>
<BR>
Vishal - Fall - yet another awesome piece<BR>
<BR>
Max-Rom and Rhetoric - Thanks for your wonderful comments. I feel humbled by your praise, especially after reading both your stuff. Sometimes I think I'm just writing a load of crap (and often probably am).<BR>
<BR>
Right, I'll let everybody get back to their daily argument/discussion then!<BR>
<BR>

Oh now I get it, ha, sorry I was running fast (funny I don't think in gutter games well) Well I for one would prefer the words of the great cartoons to those of a small time misogynist. My money is on Jack any day.  Thu thu thu thats all folks...ha<BR>

Kendra, Jon, Splat,<BR>
Cannot begin to thank you for your words. It's strange how much easier it is to share here, and how much more the appreciation means. Things have been kinda hectic, both here in the southern hemisphere and on the board, hence the delay in responding. Will add comments later this weekend.<BR>
 Meanwhile, rock on, good work people. Again, thanks very much

JSG, you leave B.K. alone! I hate seeing women fight. It's touching that you'd defend your man (or former man) (or whatever), but remember that we're just typing friggin' words here people! Don't get so bitchy at the slightest little misunderstanding, alright? Good. FYI... Today will be a busy day. Time to put up new curtains in all my rooms. What I've got up now are SO last season.<BR>
<BR>
Oh, and B.K., I chose that email because, well, I have read past discussions here and I suppose I was just being a little impish. Yes, I'm guilty girlfriend! Believe me, as titillating as I find our one-nutted friend, I am decidedly not he. (And I really like your poetry. You GO girl!)    <BR>
<BR>
Some comments. Gap Gurl 160: I like! I like very much. So true. Roger told me he needed space and time to "think about his life" but what he REALLY needed was some quality time in Carlo's bed. He said, "You do believe me, don't you?" Um, yeah...I'm SO sure... But anyway I digress. When I saw him two weeks later in Martini's and I was with Larry, he was like, "So call me sometime, ok?" Yeah RIGHT.<BR>
<BR>
Time to blow this popsicle stand, kiddies. Don't take things so seriously and PLAY NICE!

~*~Jon~*~ Just read <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.04.06.01.59.23109">Keep me away</a> , and it reminded me of something one of the most amazing professors I've ever had said to us while studying poetry. "A truly great poet is made so by expressing a vast amount of emotion in the smallest amount of words." You're SO good at that!!<BR>
love always,<BR>

I am so confused here now.  What has happened?  I feel like all this drama is one of those horror stories of crowds that ruthlessly kill others for concert tickets or Cabbage Patch Kids.  The Blender has adopted a "mob mentality".  Sometimes, I really can't blame whomever you are...the outbursts are venomous.<BR>
<BR>
I guess I will swallow my bullet, lest it be used against me.<BR>

Sweet Dreams Beautiful People.  Saw Monsters Ball today - WOW.  Makes me simply cherish my simple, quiet life here in Normalsville.<BR>
