i'll close my eyes
one final time
and a billion years will pass
and a billion more
and a billion more
when your dead things move so fast.

... Snev, this one has a profundity to it I think...

Did you say morbidity, Violet ?

.. that too... [smiley]

And actually the truth in it [especially all but the last line, which puts me into some other state I'm not so sure of, it's just a tad confusing, with the "move so fast" part], catapults me back to my teenage years, when I so heavily contemplated what "forever" and "eternity" in both time and space means. I became very disconcerted by it all. Quite haunting.

... Snev needs to change his line of work... I believe he's a gravedigger of some kind... he should switch to gardening I think...

My understanding, however, is that vegetarians make the best fertilizers.


~ Lizzy

... I suppose he could wed the two professions then...

I think your last troll, Ren, was better and believe me, as we say in ironing circles, that's not saying much

V you don't keep up with the gossip...
I've heard that MarIsha and Sue have been having a torrid love affair. Synchronizing bowling tournaments and Ironing competitions around the world for their secret rendezvous. Obviously Sue has logged in under MarIsha's account, probably while MarIsha was in the shower. I still wonder what happened to William though, seems to me there may have been a bit of a triangle there and then all of a sudden William died under some pretty suspicious circumstances ....

oh Sirus as Sue, or Sue as Sirus - I don't know, but I hope not

... I don't know, Cate, I'm beginning to think there are about... hmm... maybe half a dozen actual post-ers at this section of the forum... My god... I really am feeling more and more like Dorothy... I guess the only thing to do is to install a kind of check point operation, so we can see just who is or who is not wearing red lace panties.. I mean, as a sort of proof of Lordship thing... Of course, those funny white wigs are a good indicator as well... hmm... I think, Cate, we have some figuring out to do... oh, and I'm afraid I can't altogether buy into your gossip derived theories... I'm thinking they're probably just the product of whisper campaigns (instigated by none other than you know who)... We really have to keep on the look out for such tactics if we think we're ever going to untangle this... perfidious.. insidious... and just plain sick little web of... well, of lies... (for lack of a more exciting word)... Anyway, I suggest you get a pot of that Blueberry tea going, and some upside down cake, and let's see what we can come up with...

v i o l e t
(needing to get out
more)...

Dear-Needing-to-get-out-more Violet,

(In case you really are locked in, there's a thread for Forum Addicts in the Everything Else section...)

Trolls or MPD-sufferers in the Poetry section are fine with me. It's quite poetic to be able to create an entirely different alter ego, and if it fools us (even for a while) all the more fun. The pretend passions of Violet & Georges (they are pretend aren't they?) aren't that dissimilar. William was a most successful troll, but he knew when to quit (I think it was around the time he went a teeny bit too far and started bragging that the Webb Sisters were friends of his niece or relatives or something). As soon as he was reported dead everyone started Oh-No-ing . Fact is, we were fond of the old fart even though most of us were aware that he didn't exist except on the Forum. However:

If you're really intent to discover who's who
(and I caution against it dear V),
examine each post in search of the clue
to the blogger's iden-ti-T

You'll become quite adept in the ways of deceit;
(ah! poor-sweet, little-innocent V.)
in a very short time you'll have figured it out
(you're smart, and it's not hard to C...)

Mickey-One for example; he cannot resist
a mention of 'poop' here and there
and when Sue is ironing, she always insists
her sensational bottom is bare.

Marisha's more complex; she comes and she goes
(dear V, are you listening still?)
her many personae she sheds like her clothes
now critic, now nympho, at will.
(or at Will, but more often at Norman B.)

Cate and Manna are real, Mat and Lizzy are too ,
on Geoffrey, the jury's sequestered
I won't vouch for the rest ('cept for Jack, Greg and Bess*)
(Oops! I meant BOSS)
I don't CARE if they're fake or reg-istered!

Geoffrey is real. but I'm not sure about Manna... I noticed at Jacks house she and Jack were never in the same room at the same time... suspicious don't you think? William was a nice troll, but then he mostly bugged Michael; he wrote him a nice love letter once, something about tools... I only know because he was too shy to give it himself (like high school) so I passed it on for him.
As for the pantie checkpoint, it would be interesting to know who is wearing red panties, but I'm not sure it will help tell us who is who. This is a Leonard Cohen forum and so of course it is full of sensuous ladies, many of whom probably own a pair or two of red lace panties. Perhaps you could have some kind of tricky question like which would you rather;
a) listen to Bird on a Wire or b) have somebody pull out little hairs from your leg one at a time (mind you this is Leonard Cohen forum ... )

... I.F., I think you've just become Glenda, the Good Witch of the East*... (even though you're west of me)...

... Oh, and I am in love with Georges, as much as any girl can be under such thread bare circumstances, so to speak... still, he is my lover-ly, dankish-Irish knight, this should not be questioned.. nor his capacity to imbibe vast quantities of that dark liquid of his...

I noticed no mention of Mr. Sirus... do you think he is the doing of Lord M. as well??.. if so, the lurking intrigue section of my heart needs some re-examination... I mean, I'm not sure I can go there again, I mean with Lord M.... the subtle "ignore tactics"... the overt "ignore tactics"... and any other form of ignore tactic you might come up with... I just don't know if I can allow, well, at least that particular section of my heart to go through all of that again... oh god, and now with that Rat Pack Adonis guise... I'm only mortal after all...

... okay.. well, much to consider it seems...

growing up v i o l e t

... oh, hi Cate.. I like that last one... any true Lordship identity would no doubt have his legs very painfully bared...

edit: as I've just noted on the Poem for Geoffrey thread, a correction is in order here... that's Glenda, the Good Witch of the North, not East... and I.F. being from Vancouver is indeed north of me... and so it seems that at least my fictional (or semi-fictional) world is somehow in order... (I suspect Leonard is involved here, overseeing things...)... v.
