I kind of prefer it when Dave & Sandy take the show on an alternate reality trip like this. | |

Dave's my favourite psychanaut | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:09pm

Like Night People of days gone. Only thing missing was singing a song to start the show. | |

Rye observations. Mention both bread and whiskey you've seen... | |

modicum | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:20pm
Sean:
it will fly if you repeat "Remember Pepco" over and over again. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:24pm

Beowulf: a helluva joke. | |

I hear she hangs out with loners and rebels. | |

The diphthong song-gong-ong-gg-g. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:27pm
Caryn:
"Remember Petco" is to this poem as "Nevermore" is to "The Raven". | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:28pm
Dan B From Upstate:
Don't mean a thank if you ain't got that stank. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:30pm
Scuttle:
Start with the stank- the old men part can follow it! | |

max:
Haha genius | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:35pm
Caryn:
They gotta remember to add in a metatextual or intertextual reference. The critics will go nuts for that. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:36pm
mrmucho:
not having a hand towel in your bathroom is barbaric | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:36pm

Llewellyn loved the Lower East Side Lamenting over ramen or was it lo-mein | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:37pm
Adam in Portland:
Caryn, you are wildly correct. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:37pm
none lp:
please shut up . | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:37pm
Caryn:
That might work as the intertextual reference. "There is no bathtowel" is their "There is no spoon". Of course, a reference to "The Matrix" is not necessarily high-faluting enough for the critics. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:37pm
Marc:
LET ME SEE THAT THONG...BABY, THAT THONG THONG THONG THONG THONG. BY SHAFIQ | |

The thunder is providing some nice ambiance. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:42pm
mrmucho:
New Yorker poems usually have abrupt transitions from external descriptions to some internal rumination, e.g. "the bagel store's dairy case flashed green/I thought of Martha and her pout lips", etc | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:45pm
Adam in Portland:
Stank Caller's new phone voice is sounding very Gary the Squirrel. Hahaha. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:47pm
Caryn:
@mrmucho: too true. Also, describe a mundane situation, but see the mundane details as more mythical ideas. | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:47pm
Dan B From Upstate:
Norflax Oxdun Sidetower! | |

Thu. 2/2/12 7:56pm
Davice:
Old hags have to pee too | |
Thu. 2/2/12 7:56pm

A lot of Scottish words are actually bastardisations of French words. Close historical relations. | |
