I did, cuz none of you cheap sonsabitches would outbid me.
I sent instructions to asadi to ship it to mr. a. wayne
harrison, esq., of tons, to be considered a deposit (10%
of a pound of flesh) to retain his professional services
in the event of any unfortunate incidents at the Penns
Clave. I never heard if that actually happened though.

You will never know how much that confused me...
Until this date, I though 'Vang' was an alter ego for 'mfitons' . . .

Although I feel that few subjects are . ummm. shall we say 'sacred' I wan't
going to touch that one...

Nine and three quarters...which means, quite literally, that I can never
count to ten....

The difference, of course, is that the Braille edition might do Mr. Wonder
some good (insofar as a book that may as well have been written in proto
Indo-European can be conceived of as doing anyone any good), while for Mr.
Asadi it would be like listening to an LP that has been cleaned with a
brick.

You may be confusing "Finnegan's Wake," with "Ulysses." "Finnegan's Wake IS
arguably unintelligible. "Ulysses" is a masterpiece of the English language
and the Irish mind.

no doubt that "finnegan's wake" is unintelligable. "ulysses" is merely
boring.

Damn you can surprise me yet. I'd say try Joyce again every 5 years but
that would be patronizing. (Molly Bloom, boring? I guess I missed it.) I
concede its a trudge, and that Ive read it in sections, but boring?

I will say Pollock was an artist, a painter even, (trained by Thomas Hart
Benton.) But once he did what he did with his "action painting" there
really was no need for as many others to take the same dripping route. And
he probably did benefit from a push by USIA. I thought the film "Pollock"
did him justice at least as far as the way he led the later part of his
short life.

For myself, the Northwest School (Mark Toby, Graves, Callahan, and
especially Guy Anderson) better fill up that part of the '50s-'60s. (Add
Stella not NW). But you might pan their dark NW side and Asian influences.)

So who is an "artist" anyway? I mean who, in your opinion, is an authentic
contemporary painter anyway?
