I totally laughed out loud at that.

Once you get The Dubliners, and have read "The Dead" I'm going to send you my essay on it.

Spiff get s rep for funny joke-age.

It's getting pretty deep.

Well, I've read the book before, but I was like 12 or something.

I want to read both of Huey Long's books. Anyone read either of them?

No kidding, him and Wilson are developing sumthin' awful.

Fair enough.

You'll get the essay shortly then. <_< As soon as I finish it! Lawl.

Yay! I make a funny!

I likes to read. :D

I assume you're familiar with the idea of Joyce's epiphanic moments that occur in his stories?

Ulysses has one on just about every page. Even while Bloom is sitting on the toilet, he's having one.

:lol: :lol:

Ahhh... okay, then. :)

The topic of the essay is the relationship between the title "The Dead" and its thematic content, and I've got a long paragraph in there about Gabriel's epiphanic moment.

Tell me who Gabriel was, and I'll probably remember. Was he the boy?

I have only come into the thread to poke fun at Ben.

That is all.

Ben: Your mum! >:[

You never poke fun at me....
don't you love me?

[QUOTE=progmegood;13631612]Tell me who Gabriel was, and I'll probably remember. Was he the boy?[/QUOTE]

Lol, you're thinking of the wrong story.

"The Dead" is about the big dance/dinner party.

The last time I made jokes, we started arguing about Canadians and about how Canadians do bad things, too. :lol:

Ha, you're just upset because I got you with a good zinger in that other thread. :p

I'm talking to this girl about how often I change the strings on my guitars, which kind I like, and why I have to change my acoustic strings the most. She seems interested.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13631638]Lol, you're thinking of the wrong story.

Yeah, there is no way I'll remember individual stories at this point. I just remember vague characters, and the occasional plot line.

Have you read Ulysses?

I think she digs you then... if a nonmusician acts like they care about something trivial like that, they probably dig you.


I'd probably tell you to shut up actually... :lol:

Yeah.....

Maybe we should just threaten each other with death, then we'd have our own thing, and I'd never get confused about what was going on.

Even as a musician i could care less if someone was telling me how often they change strings :p

I got my TRB back, finally. Now I'm composing some material to record for my audio project.

I wasn't able to score any drugs.

I've sort of calmed down a bit, but I still wish I had some.

My point exactly...

I've read bits and pieces, but not the whole thing. Haven't set aside the time.

She's going out with the other bassist in town.:eek:
I see a bass-related death match in my future.

Yeah, Jesse, I'm definitely thinking that when I go for my masters degree, I'll pursue a study in modernist/post-modernist literature.

I just got to the first part with Lenehan, I don't know if he appears again, but he's such a funny man.
"We will sternly refuse to partake of any strong waters, will we not? Of course we shall not! Lay on Macduff!"

I chuckled.


Sweet. For your masters, hand in 2000 pages of blank paper entitled "The Final Word on Literature."
Then you'll fit right in
