A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

[butters]

Welcome, restrained myself with a wide open line like that

 

[butters]

rain's stopped, most the light gone now, blackbird's in the tree closest to the house singing benediction

this may be the outskirts of london, with a hugely busy arterial road less than 5 minutes away, but with the trees in the gardens and school and a momentary lull in traffic and the birds... this could be rural.

*happy smile*

I lost my virginity behind a couch. Many years later, it was found when the house was sold. She had it dry cleaned and returned it to me. It was a little faded, but otherwise in remarkable condition.

your virginity? dry cleaning is a bit extreme, soap and water for men usually will suffice.

Something to contemplate

 

[Tsotha]

I've no idea who deletes comments, it's enough to do reading them once let alone going back over them all to see if the comments are still there

I just open each poem I read in a new tab, and leave them all open for a few days. This is also useful to see what other people have to say about a poem, they sometimes see things I do not.

Something to contemplate

I don't get it. These graphs are scaled in the Y axis to fit, and the derivatives don't always match. Even if they did, what is there to contemplate in spurious correlations (other than the fact that not everything is correlated, which is obvious)? Edit: actually, the correct thing to say is: "correlation isn't causation". Edit 2: Hm, though I suppose these are just meant to be funny.

Whenever I think of the issue of atheism vs. religion in the US, I remember Bill Nye, who despite being a reasonable human being in many regards, still manages to be most religious. Makes me wonder if there is any hope for humanity.

I'd put this 'Atheism is a religion in the same sense that not collecting stamps is a hobby' in quote of the week if I could find the damn thread
