The fruit on the bottom kind, or...?

I loved it. It was much better than "Cats." I'm going to read it again and again.

Ok, I buy the shame about you not being Humphrey Bogart, but what's the shame in life not being more like yogurt? Life like yogurt? Wha..?

You know what I like, though? The poem is short. That's good.

Isn't the Principality of New Utopia that place we had a thread on awhile back, the island governed by Ayn Rand's principles, with the creepy mustache-dude as president?

[insert google searching...]

Ah yes, Prince Lazarus!

Edit: Oh hey look, whole other threads discussing this connection. Clearly I need to spend more time on the cellar to keep up with things.

Wow, that is probably the most amazing use of the poetic pause that I have encountered in all my years.

Damn, damn, damn, damn. He's buggared off. Damn!

The most fragile people can be the most fun to tease. But, unfortunately, they're also the most fragile.

I like it, it says it all.

Angus O'Mann, Poet Laureate, New Utopia

Whatever his mental state or other hangups, he has a fancier name than any of you morons. With the possible exception of Carbonated Brains. I like to say "Carbonated Brains."
