'bend' doesn't have the same stresses as 'ignore'. It wouldn't work in the poem, even if it is truer, which I don't intend arguing over. The point is that you could be ignoring it, and that would be bad. Maybe. Am I making any sense?
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Well, yeah, sure. Just thinking out loud. I've been known to talk to televisions, too.Your poem made me think,though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, you don't blame Sly Stone?
Well, he misspelled ("be mice elf") but he didn't do the "U" "4" thing that Prince did.
Also, Sly & the Family Stone is on my short list of Greatest Bands Ever and it'd seem churlish to blame him when he's had a talent-destroying addiction for the last 30 years.

So, essentially he is harder on himself than you could ever be? Yes, I am making light of another's tragedy. Are we surprised now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is this the part where I mention how I saw Prince and Larry Graham (of the Family Stone) in concert together?
Also, I read Am-chau's poem going, "SYWipr? That doesn't spell anything!" Oops. Dork=me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hec doesn't swing that way anyway.
