of London, learnin' yer. If you are American, you will find it hard to
believe the incredibly poor standard and high cost of living in London. It
is this that drives us to have, what German officers in war films call '..ze
famous english humour...'. In response to the whole kerfuffle (one could
hardly call it a flame war, eh?) and at the risk of getting your goat up, a
Rod Stewart lyric comes to mind:
'I was only jooooooking my friend.'
You seem like you know your onions, so perhaps you can learn me something.
What is your definition of post modernism? And what's your favourite colour?
Polaris, when I saw Winner's announcement about filtering me out, I thought
to meself:
There's gonna be a dust up in brighton tonight-ah.....insulting your elders
and betters-er-ah (Winner, this is an in-joke). Also Polaris, what is your
definition of Post modernism, and what is your favourite colour?

>What is your favourite colour?
Blue. Navy blue. Funny really, being a Labour voting Southampton
supporter, but there you go. It just floats my boat.
>>What is your definition of Post modernism,
Modern is challenging. Modern begets modern. Modern is challenging.
Modern begets modern. Modern is challenging. Modern begets modern. Modern
is challenging. Modern begets modern. Modern is challenging. Modern
begets modern. Modern is challenging. Modern begets modern. Modern is
challenging. Modern begets modern. Modern is challenging. Modern begets
modern.
"And the minutes and the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and
the years roll by..." (George Formby)
Modern: contemporary
Post-modern: endlessly contemporary.
Endless consumption
Arsenal have just taken the lead. I am gutted. There's only ten minutes
left. Bugger!

>>>What is your definition of Post modernism,
Post modern is: We still insist teaching Shakespeare even tho no one knows a
word of Elizabethan English (in US) anymore (I think that it was former
journalist Robert MacNiel who once pointed out that the closest contemporary
dialect to Elizabethan English is Jamaican "patois").
Postmodern is having a thirteen year old rob you with a gun at your belly while
a television broadcasts a commercial for Mobil Oil promising greater and
greater amounts of oil reserves to be discovered.
Postmodern is Bill Clinton's penis (its uses and abuses, and all the fuss made
of it) and the nude photographs of a young Hilary Clinton in the vaults of the
Medical School at Harvard University (really - for ridiulous but granted
research study on "ectomorphology"; they become publically available in another
decade or two)
Postmodern is sitting here at this computer in a house that's falling apart in
a city that's about to declare bankruptcy but just spent thousands of dollars
on a music festival no one attended in order to attract tourists.
Postmodern is the retreat into the rhetoric of christianity by gun-toting
racists in gold-lame Elvis costumes.
In fact the only thing not post-modern around here is my dog.
Fortunately, he's blind.

He's good though, in fact, he's the best. Only trouble is, modern culture
has so debased people of all ages, that you'd have to give the kids a two
year preparatory course, before even showing them a word of the bard. As
Kristofferson says in 'Pat Garrett': gonna be some hard times coming down'
even tho no one knows a

They should have played tapes of 'The Faces'
in order to attract tourists.

Yep, that's scary shit.
