Please name for me one good critic that you know of besides some sad teenager who's spat vaguely praiseful comments on one of your poemranker posts. PS-Is Roger Ebert a good filmmaker? Was Coleridge a good poet?

Jesus. PS-On your last, say, dozen poems, they don't.

Is your argument that if it weren't for the trivial fact that smoking is scientifically proven to kill you and everyone around you, smoking would be entirely good while nonsmoking would be somehow less-than-entirely good; and science is bunk anyway and proven by yogis to be the opposite of true every time? Congratulations! 100 points!

Of course not. I'm from North Carolina, I just happen to live in the deserts of Islamica now, where even the suggestion of being from Israel would be enough to get me a prompt 'melon treatment' from all the villagefolk. Thanks for trying, though, and way to misspell Israel!
Re: a comment on Delicate Was by klosterfobik	13-Sep-04/3:19 AM
Hey, congratulations on replying to your own comment, and in an extraordinary dim fashion matched only by the dimness of your original comment. Let's leave it at this, klosterfobik: If was was an adverb, it would still be improperly used, since a) an adjective (like "delicate") can't modify an adverb, b) you're using it as a noun, and c) IT'S NOT AN ADVERB, dumbass, it's a linking verb (i.e., a form of 'to be'). Dim, dim, dim

That was the point.
Re: a comment on Delicate Was by klosterfobik	9-Sep-04/4:43 AM
Was isn't an adverb. It's a linking verb. Your examples are not grammatically similar to "delicate was".

If by "trivia" you mean, "the proper meanings and orderings of words, i.e., the tools used in writing", and "engrosed with" you mean "properly attentive to", then Dear God - shouldn't we all be??!?!?!1?!
Re: a comment on Delicate Was by klosterfobik	8-Sep-04/1:40 PM
Do you mean for "was" to be a noun?
Re: a comment on Disregardance by klosterfobik	8-Sep-04/1:39 PM
You are - though they did actually make the mistake once of publishing a poem called "The Silent Scream" in an anthology entitled "Mind Mutations".

Or the fact that "Prostitutes carry a yellow health card in Singapore. They must report in 'regularly' for health checks"?
Re: Delicate Was by klosterfobik	8-Sep-04/1:18 AM
I'm confused about how you intended for the phrase "of delicate was" to be grammatical and relevant, instead of just being a cutesy Ben Harper-ish affectation. Would you mind explaining it to me? Thanks, The Islam Society for Grammar Detention
Re: Driftwood by GekoHawaii	8-Sep-04/1:13 AM
Would you agree that the song "Driftwood" by Travis is the most insidious and unnecessarily popular song ever?
Re: a comment on A Poem by BigB	8-Sep-04/1:11 AM
That's not at all what he means. Good work!

Do you know what a turkish toilet is? I have one.
Re: a comment on Who'd suspect? by thepinkbunnyofdoom	8-Sep-04/1:08 AM
Do you intend to provide these extratextual explanations with all copies of your poem, or will you just assume that anyone who doesn't get it is hopelessly dim and unworthy? Thanks.

Hey, how long did you have to ponder this matter in the FACULTY DINING ROOM before reaching this stage of enlightenment? PS-"Iraqians" is fucking hilarious.
