To the Video Tape


When semi-regular contributor Dixx starts ferreting out gems on the internet I can only sit back and say thank you. He's a kindred spirit, a fellow prospector who, like many of us, enjoys squatting down next to a bubbling torrent of streaming video and panning for those shining nuggets of cyber-gold.
The first clip leads to the 2 he sent for no other reason then that it's first. It shows that people were just as creative and naked in the 80's as they are today:
Here are the 2 amazing ones Dixx sent:
The final clip deals with Flarf, an intentionally awful form of poetry. Often vulgar, always bad, occasionally Google generated, the term, according to Wikipedia, "was coined by Gary Sullivan in late 2000, when he submitted deliberately bad poems to Poetry.com's poetry "contest" (actually a marketing scheme) as a way of testing Poetry.com's supposed standards for excellence. (It should be noted that the practice of Poetry.com-baiting predates flarf itself; many other individuals, including syndicated humorist Dave Barry, have engaged in similar pranks.)"
Apparently all submissions are accepted at the site but you have to pay to get them printed in their anthology....nice. Anyways, here's an example. If you like the 1st one; "Annoying Diabetic Bitch" then keep on listening. They only get worse.

Wow, holy crap.

I was feeling a little low, but the Bill OReilly and
the Diabetic Bitch gave me reason to live. [for a
little while at least]

Thanks!

I just returned from a three day trip with no computer access. (If I had tried harder I could have scored some monitor time, but contrary to popular belief it isn't always my number one priority).
I want it duly noted that the first words I am typing after this minor drought are BIRTHDAY WISHES TO TOBIAS FUNKE !!! otherwise known (in more intimate circles) as MIKE.
Mike I wish I was there to squeeze your ass, kiss both cheeks and hug you hard, but you'll have to settled for whatever it is Bob has to offer you on my behalf.
love p.j.

For some reason that lovely poetry has inspired me to rise out of the depths (figuratively of course--you couldn't pay me to physically leave!) and wish my favourite admirer Bonemikexxxster a happy 60th birthday! All the best from the guys down under. We look forward to meeting you in person! (No word yet on when, but my meeting re: y o u with the Big Man downstairs is scehduled for next tuesday. You're safe til then!! Haha just kidding! Not really!!) Have a great day my bone-afide buddy!

smooches and pinches,

Underworld Princess

Thanks for the kind wishes, Breasted Beaver!

Your naughty thoughts were obviously in the right place; however, it's my sad duty to inform you that your deputy, Bob, failed utterly to deliver the goods..... surely a manly handshake and some (admittedly delicious) guacomole is not what you had in mind???

The moral, I suppose, is that one doesn't send a man to do a woman's job (if job is the word I want....)........ although something tells me Tobias would not agree!!

Still and all, thanks for the salacious thoughts, BB!! Just the thing to keep me warm on a cold and snowy evening!!! love, ol' Bonemikexxxter

Oh, Underworldprincess2009!!

What were you thinking?? Favourite admirer?!?! Smooches and pinches?!?!?! Oh, sweetie!! You've so much to learn about the way manly, masculine men like Bonemikexxxster and I think!!

If THIS HERE hombre was a fixin' to lasso a real man like The Bonemikexxxster, and I'm not sayin' I am (Ha! Ha! Yes I am!! ((No I'm not!!!))) (!!!!), why, probably, I'd just give him a manly handshake, and maybe a little present....... maybe some home-made guacomole in a cute little container, or something like that.......

You see where I'm going with this, UP2009? Bonemikexxxster is like a little squirrel that you're trying to get to eat out of your hand...... no sudden movements.......no loud noises...... it's all about patience......

Shhhhh............... here he comes...............(!!)

You see? You're very welcome, Underworldprincess2009!!! I wish you well in your quest (sort of!!)!! Tobias

Suck it closet monkey. I'll be as girly as I wanna be. The big man likes a little girlishness, if you get my meaning ;)
