I have nothing interesting to say about Utopia.
I hear good things about that place.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is 'Utopia' just supposed to be the theme, or is it something specific that Utopia as in the Sir Thomas More book?

Mostly lurking...
We just read More's Utopia. We're supposed to be looking at it from fresh eyes and find something that hasn't already been said. It's harder than it sounds!
Eventually, the adrenaline of having to have it done will kick in, and I'll just babble.

I am eating pasta and butter (my sick food) and relaxing on the couch. I'm starting to feel a little better.
vw, I only read bits of Utopia and it was years ago, but good luck with your essay!

Actually, finding something that hasn't already been said sounds pretty hard. I wish you luck. I haven't read the book so I'm useless for idea bouncing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hi, vw!
I've never read Utopia or any serious commentary on it. But just to toss out a dumb idea, how might More's vision have been different if he were writing today? Could his vision accommodate the Internet, instant communication, and so on?
(Edit to correct typo.)

Heh.
He probably would have made Utopia into an online RPG. Or maybe an FPS.

The modern Utopia is just a WoW expansion?
