Literature is more than just the wit. Chaucer is witty, does that make him great? I am much more a fan of post modern american literature though and they often conflict. Think Shakespeare "What?s in a name? That which we call a Rose by any other name would smell as sweet..." versus Ezra Pound "a rose, is a rose, is a rose". One of my lit teachers in high school was a HUGE Shakespeare fan, but I still dont like him. |

Yeah, a day of working on a 914 and i wash my hands but they never come clean. But I dont think it has anything to do with guilt, just 30 years of road grime and a bad push rod tube seal.

Two comments about this thread:
1) I'm surprised that so many are surprised (about Miles). Anyone who doesn't recognize that Miles is very inteligent isn't reading closely. Every time he writes something I study it for the wit (sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden). I'm rarely dissapointed. 2) Let's keep the ethnic/racial talk respectful.

Noted (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) ...my apologies. and as for Miles' user name - "The Cosmological Redshift is a redshift caused by the expansion of space. The wavelength of light increases as it traverses the expanding universe between its point of emission and its point of detection by the same amount that space has expanded during the crossing time. " (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alien.gif) ...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) |

Gee.......I thought Redshift was your real name and Miles was a alias. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

The problem with Shakespeare, well at least his plays, is that they are plays. You drone along in iambic pentameter, reading the words and not acting the words. The tragedies are tragic and the comedies, well, its a comedy if everyone winds up married in the end, are also tragic.
You want non-flowery prose, read Hemingway. A contemporary of Ezra Pound (aforementioned), he created IMHO the best writing style of the 20th century. "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" is one of my favorites. That might tell you something of my sense of humor. BTW: Iago was a fag. |

Vonnegut! Otis Redding, Barry Goldwater....
Leonard Bernstein, wow... his lectures on asthetics, and music as a language, at Harvard! "The Unanswered question : six talks at Harvard by Leonard Bernstein" I am shivering just thinking about him holding his hands out... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) and the music begins.... I could write all day about Bernstein, he is my idol. Seriously, another life changing event.. M |

Ok, you people are getting WAY too deep for me...it's freaking me out!
I'm all about education and junk, but when I come here, I expect to see guys cursing at 30yr old car parts, boobie avitars, fart jokes, and little smilies giving me the finger! Again, I am amazed and confused by this club. Oh, almost forgot...
