YeaH

franz wright lost 'is marbles that silliman site. did you guys see that shit:

You're so full of shit, Ron. Are you kidding, or do you really not hear the pathetic absurdity of terms like "Gang of Eight"? It's embarrassing, & you're misleading young American idiots with no knowledge of history. There's no conspiracy – your work is just tremendously, cruelly tedious, and nobody but a linguistic technician could read it for more than five minutes without dying of boredom. You're the other pole of the formalists, an anachronism. And since you can't become Minister of Culture for Stalin or Mao, I suppose it's a good thing capitalism distributed a computer to you: it's important for eccentric losers like you to have something to do, otherwise they might actually find a way to put their "ideas" into practice, and start putting the real artists in concentration camps.

If you don't have the balls to put this in your blog (what a perfectly descriptive terms that is, don't you think?), that's ok. I am bidding eternal farewell to blogdom as of this moment, I assure you. And while you are busy writing your popular movie reviews, I'll be working on something about you for one of the publications real people actually read – it will take some work, since so few of them have even heard of you, but I'll do my best.

Like hell.

i still like franz wright. but what a lil weeble-wobble. and i don't mean this as a defense of silly man. i think fw has a point about rs's paranoia and dated sense of conspiracy. but fw is just as dated - tar har.


i do, however, like his sign off "like hell" but only cause it's melodramatic.

i've been posting alot.
it's called "avoiding grading."

chipotle. my favorite pronunciation of that is "chipoltay."
