The menu is not the meal

[freescorfr]

and the map is not the territory.

 

[Dillinger]

I knew I liked you.

"The Map is Not the Territory" used to be my sig line here.

I've got a great rant on this... more to come...

 

[MissTaken]

The index isn't the book

and the phone directory isn't the community.

 

[riff]

But the medium is the message.

 

[Dillinger]

Sure sure... McLuhan us... next I suppose you're gonna go on about Buckyballs and geodisic domes?

The buckyballs are not the element.

The dome is not my head.

 

[freescorfr]

But the medium is the message.

not if you don't read your pm's riff.

 

[erosman]

The orgasm isn't the fuck.

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

The clothes are not the man.

The perfume is not the woman.

The want is not the need.

But the Life is the Art.

Ok someone smoking pot here????????......*Sniffing around*

Just resin scrapings....

 

[perks]

the sugar is not the cookie.

the paint is not the painting.

the petal is not the rose.

the light is not the sunset.

the word is not the poem.

Keeping Things Whole

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body's been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

-Mark Strand

The thing is not the thing. It is the spaces between the things.

 

[ksmybuttons]

The fantasy is not the orgasm.

 

[Allexus_TN]

Ok someone smoking pot here????????......*Sniffing around*

If so, I'm missing out.

 

[April]

The end is merely the beginning.

What is old is perhaps new again.

 

[riff]

the word is not the poem.

Wow.... what a coincidence. Synchronicity!!!

 

[riff]

If so, I'm missing out.

It's not the fire, it's the burning
It's not the tale, it's the telling

Like that, Allexes, like that.

 

[Problem Child]

Peanuts and corn do not a smooth poop make?

Can I be in the philosophy clique? Can I? Huh?

Please?

 

[riff]

Sure, PC.

DOG EAT DOG

Well it's dog eat dog.
Eat cat too.
Fish eat frog
and I eat you.

Business man, when you make a deal,
do you know who you can trust?
Do you sign your life away?
Do you write your name in dust?
Hey, hey, hey! Every dog has his day.....

It's a dog eat dog....
Dog eat dog....
Dog eat dog....
Dog eat dog....

Woof! Woof! Ouwhooooo!!

 

[perks]

Peanuts and corn do not a smooth poop make?

Can I be in the philosophy clique? Can I? Huh?

Please?

the problem is not the child.

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

Mark Strand! Damn you Riff, I should have thought of that.
Well done.

 

[Wizard]

Just resin scrapings....

Ok cool I been there.........just wondering myself................

Homer isn't the Simpsons.

[BustyTheClown]

Homer isn't the Simpsons.




Ack!

Hehe, and the Simpsons are not Homer.
