I'll be reading something suitably pastoral, fragrent and idyllic again (JP was there for "In the Cuntry" [sic] last year, though he claimed he was just reading porn in the internet cafe). I'm working on something a tad more risque this year. If it's not finished in time I'll be bitching about yummy mummies from the POV of a zombie mommie.</p> <p>And I promise not to make any death threats. At least to biscuiteers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18904 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 07:59:07 +0000 Scroat 18904@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Amok... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18889 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 06:22:03 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 18889@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>"All poets are mad" to quote someone whose name escapes me. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18881 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:46:43 +0000 sauce 18881@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Poets are strange people, Moppy. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18880 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:46:05 +0000 arrghgarry 18880@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>chuck<br /> truck<br /> puck<br /> luck<br /> tuck<br /> muck<br /> shuck<br /> buck<br /> ruck </p> <p>don`t forget wuck is suck too rude and cuck socker </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18879 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:37:36 +0000 Hunter F.

And yes: poets are thoroughly exercised by language because they have discovered that people who can't parse a sentence can't actually think. Also, there is a wayward strain to modern poetry - deplored as early as 1923 by P.G. Wodehouse - which sets a mental scene among personal points of reference which are are extremely remote for most readers. (PS: "nonsense".)</p> <p>They also become white hot with rage at Bill Gates' spelling; few go postal, however. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7041#post-18875 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:03:47 +0000 rikkor 18875@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Puck?
