HOT BABES!

I take it you're not referring to Maud Gonne.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Literary criticism is one thing but comments like Yeats is a 'pretentious preening snobby little poseur' are crude and unthinking.

You are right it is crude - not necessarily unthinking though. And he undoubtedly was all of those things -except perhaps a poseur, I'll grant you.

The literary arts are already dangling by a thread...and it's not as though the invitation to slag 'classics' is a new freedom...it's been done since the 1960s. The cathartic or 'liberating' aspect is long ago spent...all that remains is the nastiness of it.

I gratified to think that the future of the literary arts hangs by the thread of a Friday post on thumped.

Do you think perhaps that 3 genertions of Irish people trying to convince each other that overblown drivel like Yeats is worth reading might also have something to do with it?

I'm not particularly keen on William Butler Yeats' poetry myself. Pip Larkin's more my man. Happy-go-lucky fella.

What do you want from Yeats or Shakespeare?
A shampoo bottle with the words 'HOT BABES' written on it?

Yeah... that's all fine. But Yeats was a pretentious prick. A great poet, but an almighty dickhead.

This thread's deadly.

Working Gannon. Working. And picking fights with that middle aged demonstrator cunt.

Here. I didn't have red hair in 2001 did I? No idea what that was all about. Probably to do with luring foreign chix into the gaff. Like that Swedish chick Phil fancied.

I will critically evaluate your poem later.

Nah... that was well before that. Who was the Swedish woman Phil liked? There was a Belgian girl. She split up with him after he accidentally lent her a porn movie.

No way, man.
You don't have a plan.
You're not a man.
You're just a user.
Loser.

Do you know that feeling you get when you go on holidays - "Did I turn off the central heating/lock the back door" well I am always sitting on the plane thinking "did I put the porn away"

Do you watch a lot of pornography?

The blonde one with the massive tits. I was with a Belgian girl. For about a day. She dumped me and became a lesbian.

My Belgian girl was cooler than his Belgian girl.
Besides... fucking Phil went and scored with that black chick I had a massive crush on.... after coming over to have a chat with me so I would have to introduce her. Sneaky bastard.

Turned out she was a Christian and was having none of his ginger manhood.

You turned a girl to lesbianism - what the hell did you do?

I don't know any of these people. Too busy being a priest, I suppose.

You know Andy is moving over to the mainland, don't you?

I dont fucking know. Apparently she always was one. She wore a lot of black. And looked like [SIZE=-1]Brett Anderson. Other than that there were no visible indications. [/SIZE]

All I know was I was fucked out of her bed at about 5 in the morning.

Maynooth can be a cold place walking home at 5am.

What I remember most about that Red Box gig was that it was faaar too packed. Lots of chattin' (as usual) but it was my birthday, so I did'nt mind too much.
I preferred the show a couple of years earlier in TBMC with Quazi supporting. That was an amazing show.

I have still yet to listen to the basement album. Still cant bring myself to.
I was really shocked to hear about his death that I still have difficulty listening to his music.

(Bring on the slagfest)

Yeah. Is he going to shack up with and English Rose, and have kids with funny accents too then?

Better than a yank accent I suppose.
