Wow. One good sentence is that.

You see, Lord Bulwer-Lytton? That’s how it’s done!

Wise man.

I had to leave another internet community yesterday for basically similar reasons.

God I’ve been asleep so long

I’ve been away

Back from software limbo the natives call “today”

I let their promises bind me

I let seductive logic blind me

I embraced a machine

I went through the routine

And I hid from the people who were trying to find me

Till the day comes when you realize

Otherwise you never cared

Pandora’s box reveals a new surprise

Can’t wait to see your eyes

Now you’ve been tantalized

I would think it would be warmer in the vat with all those bodies there.

Not bad, kid, but you’ll never be a William Faulkner !

Did I mention it was a dark and stormy night?

It was almost convoluted enough to be German!

It’s a shame that Wesly’s efforts to benefit Californian Democracy has failed.

Hallucinogenic muffins will set you free!

Mike McCormack’s 217 page book, Solar Bones, consists of one sentence.

Proust would be proud.
