From 'Kenny Dalgleish - My days at King Kennys Klanfield of dreams'

this phrase could replace 'alas poor yoric.. ' in literary terms.

Are you going to tell what it is, or are you going to keep on being a giant tease?

Is it weird that Nabakov has contributed more to my lexicon than any native English-speaker?

If I ever manage to make it down to South America for an ayahuasca-fuelled spirit quest, I'll bring a copy of Lolita.

Vance's novels are more akin to poetry than prose, sometimes. It's what makes him such a delight.

Once a man on shrooms tried to give me directions by biting a map into a tortilla, so I have no doubts as to the veracity of your claim!

 

[butters]

So did the Romans. The Romans actually had tower blocks, called insulae, which literally means islands.

I learned that word reading Max Blumenthal's blog.

 

[bluntforcemama]
