RIP, you ROCK GOD!
Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"?
Gasp! . . . I am becoming thoroughly infatuated with you, "fenec" . . . (sigh). Unless you're messing with my head. At any rate, now that you've achieved your conquest, I hope that the prickly Academe (Prairie Girl) will poke her head out of her burrow so that you can launch your campaign anew on further virgin territory . . .
There's nothing more accomodating than virgin territory, that's for sure. I feel the same way about you. Have you gone to bed now? You haven't responded in quite a while. You really should let me know when you've gone to bed, at least then I can substantiate my imagery.
I haven't responded because I was answering a very involved enquiry of yours on another thread. I will retire soon, though . . . with thoughts of a repressed Limey who has a penchant for pervy poets . . .
You know who you remind me of, my beloved piss-taker? Ever see Mike Leigh's film "Naked"? (Mike Leigh and Ken Loach=the apotheosis of current British filmmaking excellence, in The World According to Dissident)
The main character, played by David Thewlis . . . that's you. There's a marvellously Beckettian interchange in the middle of the film--a metaphysical debate of sorts--between the main character and a security guard on graveyard shift in an office tower. A concretisation of a few hours' worth of your exchanges on these boards.
Have you found academe yet? I believe that, when it comes down to it, she's much more suggestible than I . . .
. . . ah, the delicious naivete of youth . . .
I've never seen that. I've never seen anything. I only ever watch things like Under Siege, and every Jean Claude Van Damme film ever made.
I was a fairly precocious youth. When I was about 9, I wrote quite a lot of seethingly serious essays on... well, existence, death, love etc etc, as I suppose everyone does at some point... this continued until I was about 14 ish... I was really very intelligent for my age... but at that point, I began to realise the futility in taking anything serious. Intelligent discourse was rare at best... I've been ejected from more academic insitutes than I can call to mind, purely for possessing a greater insight than those in educational custody of me... Life is against me...
... then I grew up and decided Beer and shoddy action films RULE! And girls are HOT! I love to shag GIRLS! And lots of em! WUHUH, and all that. No more philosophising for me... nah, sophistry is the way to go. Annoyance. Casuistry. These are the things I live for.
fenec: Go rent it. It's brilliant. Nutjob Mancunian spends a lost weekend in London, gets nasty with a few weirdo girls while trying to win his girlfriend back, engages in pointless flights of conversational fancy with all types, spends a few days on the edge with very little sleep . . .
Great flick. Expand your horizons. Get a couple good lines, too, while you're at it, perhaps (well, they worked for the guy in the movie . . . ).
I don't need lines... I have excellent technique: I begin by ostracising the person in question through insult or self-depreciation (and that was an intentional flair of paraphasia), then once I've dented my image in that persons eyes, I up the charm... works every time

Classic narcissicm, fenec. Enjoy the battle. I already know that you enjoy the pain . . .
I don't enjoy anything... it's the only way to be truly happy in this life. Don't love, don't hate, don't feel... indifference is your salvation.
