You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did anyone else know that W. H. Auden wrote a seriously dirty poem about giving a blowjob (and then denied it)?

Uh, not worksafe. That Auden had quite a mouth on him, if you know what I mean.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah...Jack Lemmon was so good. But it sort of made me feel like I'd seen an old uncle swear.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

* as opposed to the best exit stage direction ever, which is Exit, pursued by a bear

What is that from? INTO THE WOODS or something?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Apropos of nothing: pictures of pool-playing on Saturday night. (Top 9 photos)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

That's very dirty, Dana. That's hilarious.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Did anyone else know that W. H. Auden wrote a seriously dirty poem about giving a blowjob

Wow. That really is dirty. I mean REALLY.

Although I admit I really love the first 2 lines:

It was a spring day, a day for a lay, when the air
Smelled like a locker-room, a day to blow or get blown;

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow. That was REALLY dirty.

Awesome. I might have to reprint in LJ.

It's totally hilarious. There are lines that are just fabulous, and then there are lines that read like bad fanfic and make me giggle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just read an article about Auden. When he was in America, he lived a few blocks away from where I live: [link]
