WOW, that is one messed up poem/story. That guy who made it must be really strange.

I dont think that guy has a life. Spending all that time on some animation which bashes clowns.

-Mike

[harper]

Excellent recommendation. This guy is totally disturbed and should be producing more "art" preferably of the home-grown, poorly understood and inaccurately measured pyrotechnic variety.

By the way, your Britney Spears avatar is even MORE disturbing. I can't get enough of it. Is there a more revealing flavor you could experiment with? Rhysling keeps promising to send me a Britney t-shirt which, apparently, middle aged men in Mississippi wear. I would imagine that Chris has quite a stunning collection himself any one item of which he is loathe to part with. I think it will prove to be one of his "empty" promises.

That Brit needs HELP, hope he doesn't live near me.

BTW jagur I've got broadband so I hadn't read the intro before it had loaded :p

From what i can tell, that avitar is not Britney Spears, but it is none other than..............BABY SPICE!!!

Oh yeah, that video was kind of freaky, that guy needs to buy a unicycle so he doesnt have to spend all his time making horrid movies

Thanks Jagur. Edgar Allan Poe couldn't have told the story any better.

I don't know, it was a bit weird, but then again if you judged someone like Stephen King by what he wrote then he'd have been locked up a long time ago. I'm not saying that his clown tale is the same quality as King (who isn't my cup of tea anyway), but it is in a similar style. Yes, it smacks more of teenage angst type poetry (i.e. decidedly average at best) but you get the general idea. The guy put a lot of work into this and best of luck to him.

Mind you, if at some point in the future it is shown that this guy was a total nut case and goes "postal" during a circus parade, then I will deny having written any of this;)

Have fun!

...but Vincent Price could have. Substitute Price's voice of impending doom for the rushed I'm-reading-fast-because-you-may-stop-listening-at-any-time prose of the author, and the product might actualy come close to the concept. Still, I'm lucky enough to have Vincent narrate most of my day, so I enjoyed it none the less -although it was a trial at times to make out the dialouge over Vince's add-lib, 'Every time a Flash site dies, another takes it's place ...another takes it's place ...another...'.

I thought it was more of a "I screwed up on the timing of this Flash movie and can't be bothered correcting it" type blather. I did think the narration let the rest of it down (technically at least, ignoring the quality of the story), Donald Duck could have narrated it better:D

Have fun!

[jagur]

well im glad you all liked it,i thought the poetry was great and he got to be the cool gothic clown at the end.

Oh!
Dear Jagur!
How can you allow your fellow unicyclists to continue to wallow in their ignorance of Great Art?!?
I cannot abide your cruelty!
Hence, I shall reveal to ALL the truth that your avatar is not some sordid pop singer, but none other than
The Lady of Shalott,
a marvelous painting by one of the foremost Pre-Raphaelites, John William Waterhouse.

Here is a small image of the entire work. http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/General/Gente/SPD/Pre-Raphaelites/Small/JWLadyOfShalott_Small.gif

If any of you would care to view a larger version, please follow this link: The Lady of Shalott (http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/General/Gente/SPD/Pre-Raphaelites/Big/JWLadyOfShalott.jpg)

Shame! Sir Jagur!
Credit where credit is due, I say! Although I must commend you for your EXCELLENT taste! Therefore, I am sure that you'll enjoy this excerpt from one of the Great Poets...

The Lady of Shalott, by Alfred Lord Tennyson (http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/General/Gente/SPD/Pre-Raphaelites/shalott.txt)

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

"Why Americans Can't Understand Irony Or Sarcasm" (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12302581&method=full&siteid=50143)

As I sit here scratching at my ankles...I believe my tube socks (white, of course) are a bit too tight...I thank Maatha for her elucidation and offer these (paraphrased) words, Luke: Chapter 1, Verse 4, as evidence of our enlightment: we know the certainty of those things, wherein we have been instructed.

Thank you madam!

My Dear Raphael!

Whilst you certainly are a post-Pre-Raphaelite Raphael, I would hope that when you quote me in the future, you shall quote me properly!

That was: "Why Americans Can't Understand Irony Or Sarcasm"...

If you wish to paraphrase for effect, you could at least NOT call it a quote.

Whilst I DO understand the Eye Row Knee of your misquote (there is a real danger that OTHERS may not!), it DOES represent a rather uncharacteristic carelessness on your part, I must say!

Please be less cavalier with your "quotes" in the future.


Thank you!

...and change your socks!

Oops.

You want eye row knee, I'll give you irony.

Two floors below where I sit at Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, a company as close to the brink as you get, there is a poster on the wall, STILL ON THE WALL, that reads: "The Sun Never Sets on Bell Laboratories."

Jeez, louise, that's hubris.

By the way Maatha, do you have any decorating tips that would make use of my Lucent stock certificates?

Cheers,

[Maatha Stoooert]

Hell, Raphael, I've never laid eyes on one o 'dem der stock hickerdoos! If you could just someways give us a looksee, I'm sure I could come up with sumpin' snazzy! Maybe cut 'em into paper snowflakes to bring that wintry feeling indoors... or roll 'em around empty TP tubes, and place them in the guest bathroom... that's bound to impress your holiday party guests!


By the Way... speaking of hubris... and sunsets... didn't Bell Labs ever hear about what happened to the British Empire?

Apparently not.

Damn!

[Maatha Stoooert]

Raphael,

I'm afraid that image is just a bit too small for me to work with.
Perhaps if you could send me (or better yet, my broker) as many actual copies of Lucent stock as you can get your hands on, I could come up with a really nice seasonal embellishment for my ... I mean your house.

Of course, if white and red don't fit into the color scheme of your abode's interior, we could go back to my previous marvelous idea of decorating MY lovely home with your stock...

Let me know...

On second though, my attorneys seem to feel you should just send all of those certificates to their offices...

[Scott Stephens]

Maatha Stooert, to be completely rude, YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL! Remember, think back, a company that YOU just happened to have a lot of stock in was about to go down. So what do you do, you sell all your stock, and make tons of money. Where i come from thats called "insider trading" and its "illegal" if you are aware of the meaning of the word.
Go make some floral arrangmeants in jail

Scott ;) :D

[Maatha Stoooert]

Scottie, dear....

Go do your geometry homework like a good boy, or you won't be allowed to stay up to watch for the Great Pumpkin next week.

When you grow up, you'll learn that the word "illegal" only applies to people with less money than we, ... or to people whose friends don't happen to live in that over-fortified... or rather, over-decorated home on Pennsylvania Avenue

Bruce!

Really!

A little more discretion would be advisable!

You promised not to tell anyone about the goo!

You promised!

How many times do I have to remind you?

I do hope you don't carry this same self-destructive tendency with you when you go into the forest with a loaded rifle!

And while we're on that topic,... why, oh why can't you enjoy Nature without shooting at something?



Mary, if you happen to read this, it's nothing more than an old school-chum prank!

Think of it as an early April Fool's Day joke!
Heh, heh!

[Maatha Stoooert]

Please!

Mister JJuggle! That is SO insulting!

Will no one come to a lady's aid?

Very well!

Listen, pal !!!

Did I ever make fun of your stutter?

So, watch your mouth!

If you've implemented any of those home-decor hints which I offered to you totally gratis, well, ...

So!
...after your gratuitous little insult, ... I'll be expecting remuneration at my usual scale... please look for my bill in your mail next week.

I'm sooooo sorry, Maartha. You are correct, the goo was our little secret wasn't it. Please forgive me.

And while we're on that topic, most of nature's enjoyment in this activity comes after the shooting when we light up the grill!

Now, Maatha, let's get our stories straight. Such swearing about grills never passed my lips. It must have either been your imagination or your second husband.

By the way, our Thanksgiving venison feast looks so grand when all decored out with Maatha Stoooert's finest tableware. I'm a big fan, you know. We especially love the bearing napkin rings, they are always the source of many great table conversations.
