Truly, wit is dead. Poetry remains in critical condition.

I think the subject matter is fine but your rhythm needs work. I found myself stumbling over several lines and the rhythm just doesn't feel right in places.

It's a great read.
Happy father's day to all the dads.

Yeah, what he said.
Happy birthday Erpy!

You know what to do.

Hey, what's wrong with techno? It's the second best kind of crappy music! (The best kind of crappy music is, of course, disco. )

Wow, I don't check in for a couple of days and find all of these interesting things posted here. Let's see.... Another thing that you should know is how Summer came by, Like all of our seasons it's all caused by the Earths tilt in relativity to the sun. A week ago we had a rather late summer solstic...

Really liked the poem. (and I run a poetry website!) It's very hard to do rhyming poetry (I won't even touch it...) and I think you pulled it off very well. Thanks, although my poems don't always rhyme. I hadn't written a poem in six or seven years, but when I did I rarely wrote unmetered poems. Us...

How about another great quote, this time from Einstein (I may have posted this once before, but here it is anyway).  My framed poster of him in my room reads, "The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beaut...

Yeah man. Just having a bit of a joke with ya. I know you've got a sense of humour, that's why I allow my wit to shine through upon occasion. Of course. I'm an idiot sometimes. :lol Sydney is a god-forsaken hole. I hate the place. If it was a person and he was on fire across the street from me, I w...

With Lucasarts, they don't seem to really concentrate on the quality of their games. It's more like the quantity of their games.

The first chapter is excellent! I'm looking forward to the rest.

Today I looked for a job just like I've been doing almost every day for the last month. Being unemployed sucks. Searching for a job sucks too, but not as much as being unemployed. I started writing another story. I'm sure it's to "expressive" for me to post here. Maybe the IA guys could he...

Back to the heat. It sucks. But you choose to live there, so shutup or move.  :D Um, you did read my poem, right? I like the heat. I'd have thought Australians don't mind heat, growing up with it like you do. My dad lived in Sydney for a couple of years in the mid-70s and he loved it, especially th...

gee. try comming to live down here in barbados then you will find out what heat and humidity are hehe My mother and her parents were born in Trinidad. While I've never personally been there I have heard the stories. It's funny, in winter my grandmother complains about the cold but when I suggest go...

just the odd moose once in a while... :p  :lol I can honestly say that I've never seen a moose in my backyard. I have seen deer, but never a moose so far. Actually, my former neighbour once gave me some venison that he had personally killed and gutted. It was really good meat. Ghost_Rider is correc...

Thank you Vildern! :D None of my poems have ever been compared to Robert Graves, or any other great poet. Unfortunately, I must confess my ignorance of any comparison you've drawn as I know little of Graves' works. Personally, my two favourite poets are are Alfred Tennyson (British) and Edna St. Vin...

Happy birthday!!

I don't often write poetry but I did today. As I post this it's 30 degrees Celsius with the humidity making it feel like 41 degrees. While I was walking home this afternoon, I was musing about Americans who think we have polar bears visiting our backyards year-round, and thought up the first stanza ...

Where's the "none of the above" option? I don't read comics.

In one interview an irate and xenophobic Frenchman raged that if the treaty was ratified "Turkey would join the EU and the Muslims would take over". I think that the "irate and xenophobic" Frenchman raised a valid point.  The influx of masses of Muslims would radically change Eu...

But will it mean anything? Does the Dutch electorate's opinion even matter now that France has said no? I thought that a single country voting not to ratify the treaty would kill it. Also, are you voting in a binding referendum or is it merely consultative?

Apparently, distilling alcohol isn't that difficult. I think the biggest barrier is getting all the equipment you need to make something that won't kill you. Just google "home distilling".

The idea of a constitution for the European Union would seem to be a very good idea. With all of the overlapping treaties among the member states a single document that streamlines and consolidates things could only help the EU. Right? At least, that's what many people smarter and more powerful than...
