Goodbye to Freak

[Freakzilla]

One of these days I'm going to see if I can make it a whole day using nothing but movie quotes.

I'm fairly sure GP could pull it off lol

Probably.

I'd definately going to try it on an off-day, there just not enough fire movies out there.

So everyone but you understands what Freak's source was?

One thing I know nothing about is poetry. There is a significant body of SF poetry out there that I would like to review (and not all of it sucks - Nobel laureate Harry Martinson won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1974 for his body of literatrue, but a poem called Anaira, about a generational starship lost in space, was cited as the work that won him the award), but I find poetry criticism too daunting.

Yeah, right, that must be it.

I find poetry criticism too daunting.

Well don't look at me! I've read a number of senior theses dealing with poetry over the last few years, but I don't dabble in it myself. My rather blithe and dismissive evaluation of the field is that it's basically "anything goes".

That said (or typed? ), I do remember rather enjoying Harold Bloom's analysis of Paradise Lost in his Western canon book.

I hate poetry, but every now and then someone pens a good line.

BTW, I knew where it was from.

Do not go gentle into that good night...

...Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Where's SR got to again?

I bet he's jousting windmills again.

Well, I'm sorry to see Freak go, & I'll miss him,
but I understand his need to go to the Middle East
and rip out the throats of all those close-minded,
fanatical, militant evil-doers of evil doings.

Unfortunately, while he's away, we'll be
bringing the communist revolution to
fruition at home. Free health care for everyone
and CEOs swinging from telephone poles.

oh yeah, and Sean Hannity is a raving asshole.
wrong about everything. amusingly stupid.
perfect spokesman for the Republicans.
better than Rush, even when he's hyped up on drugs.

Farewell, my friend. Kill them all & let G-d sort them out.

Ill be sure to send you some flea collars for your ankles!
