Here we go again, another outlet for the creative minds of the English Club... try to keep it sane. If it's good I'm going to enter it in the Florence B. Allen Competition, and everyone will get a dollar of the prize money.
"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs. In the shadow under the green visor of the cap Ignatius J. Reilly's supercilious blue and yellow eyes looked down upon the other people waiting under the clock at the D.H. Holmes department store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste in dress. Several outfits, Ignatius noticed, were new enough and expensive enough to be properly considered offenses against taste and decency. Possession of anything new or expensive only reflected a person's lack of theology and geometry; it could even cast doubts upon one's soul."

A couple things to post about:
1. Poetry. Again. (You know the rest.)
2. Our next activity? ideas welcome ;)
-poetry reading
-movie night
-hamlins house (huge kegger --you know)
-lunch meeting
3. Light chat, How was everyone's spring break? read any good books, many trips to the theatre, or lots of sleeping?
So post what you think. In poetry or prose, rhyme or alliteration, fiction or fantasy---- or in nic’s case inebriated
….it’s good to hear from everyone anytime, anywhere, anyhow…
English Club Parliment has spoken.
OK, here's another something to mull over -- something BIG.
What is "reality"? Can we make a distinction between "Art" and "Reality"? What is "realistic" art? Is some art more "realistic" than others? Can there be different kinds of "realism"? different "realities"?
Related question -- is life inherently tragic or comic? (Which is more realistic, tragedy or comedy?)
hey English clubbers....
...it is spring break--so this is a free for all post: poetry, thoughts, poetry, party-blog-posting, poetry, read any good books?, seen any good movies?---POST whatever you want.
(the poetry thread was reaching new lengths... i thought i'd fix that)
