Walworth County isn't known for it's educational system.

Maybe it's time for Czech to grab hold of some of that old Jack Kerouac vibe, drop out of school, and travel about the country. Just be an asshole and forget about your teachers & other supporting cast. Hit the damn road, man! Hitchhike, guzzle wine, and fuck girls you meet at Greyhound stations.

You sound pretty grizzled there Czech. You need to add a "Back in my day goddamit" type rant now.

I don't think the DX guys would like that idea.

That's awful. I feel bad for you.

A new Tim Sandlin novel, Jimi Hendrix Turns 80, comes out in January. I like his stuff. Not really a pretentious fellow.

Poetry has agreed with me alot more since I decided to ignore everything that every English teacher/professor told me. Alot of English faculty seems to be ridiculously pretentious considering how little most have ever/will ever actually accomplish.

Itis just like a real party. You and Czech are in one corner talking about Thomas Pynchon and his bananas or some other bullshit, vivalaultra and I are discussing Greg Corso elsewhere. Viva is already starting to slur his words, fucking lightweight.

I should also mention that I think Corso is completey justified in his pretentiousness.

"there time" tells us alot.

Gregory Corso was probably the most pretentious American poet of the 20th century. And, people talk like this at parties? Really? Like, with booze & such involved?

I'm going to change my name to a Tom Robbins reference and then eat some peyote buttons.

Has there ever been one that turned out really good?

I don't think that joke will ever get old. Well, I mean it will, eventually, but comedy will ensue for some time.

Czech will never be able to convince me that he doesn't get hella stoned.

Agreed.

Don't blame us...we just cant help ourselves when spman-level material e-slaps us right in the face.

By any chance (and I realize it is a small one at best) has anyone here ever attended a show at the Grand Ole Opry? Or know some solid information about the shows there? I plan to move to Nashville in about a month, and about a month after that is a show schedlued with the lineup of Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, Ollabelle, & Josh Turner. My question is how long does each person get to play, especially the top two performers, Emmy & Levon? Tickets are less than $40 and I definitly will want to go provided they get to play a decent amount of songs.

I saw Bernie Sanders make a speech here in Wisco during Fighting Bob Fest last year. It was very good.

The Iraq War is resembling the War On Drugs...a continuous, heavy spending mess where the sole purpose seems to be based on our leaders' refusal to admit that mistakes happen and they should be corrected. Even if a Presidential candidate was able to make such a speech as this on tv, even if America listened, even if that person were elected...with the military bases being built, the incredible amount of money involved, will we actually see an end to the Iraq War in the next 5 years? 10? 20? A good friend of mine, already scarred from the first two, will return to Iraq for the 3rd time early next year. By the time of the next presidential election, if he remains physically safe, he will probably have had more tours of Iraq than Dick Cheney had draft deferrments. Sad.

When he gets banned, will he return a half dozen times out of our jealousy?

Ah.

Which media outlet told you that you love the band Rush?

Oh I know! I mean, we went out and dragged him back in here (repeatedly)...then we keep sleuthing away until we find out what his newest accounts are! It's simply inconceivable that we are only making jokes whenever he brings himself back into the picture. We care alot!

One represents all that is wrong with our youth today...the other, not so much.
