I've been to the one near Heathrow, because i got tired of paying 25 for indifferently-boiled mystery roots (and the privilege of sorting through the stack of plates looking for a clean one) at the restaurant in the hotel. (What i *should* have done is a nightly commute to Brick Lane, and just given up sleep.)

"would be have"? They got to you, too? Shit.

How about an alternate spelling, for those instances where use of the term "science" would cause an exasperated eye-roll in a reasonably-educated person. I'd like to suggest "Saience". Thus "Celebrity Perfume Saience", "Creation Saience", "Christian Saience", the "Social Saiences", etc.

That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk, just like me.

I think you'll find that one was inspired by Arthur Machen (who also wrote a story called "N", but the influence here was The Great God Pan).

Supernatural Horror In Literature

Does anyone remember lobsters?

So, Crowded House > The House of Love > Laibach > Japan? And America > Asian Dub Foundation? Nope, doesn't work.

"I think most people, even very artistic people, have blind spots in their response to created things"

"I almost never read fiction"
"…because the best stories tend to be ripped from real life."

Or, more realistically, "Where CPS be at"

How DARE you mention EVL (please pardon my presumptuousness, Miss L.) and ZMF in the same sentence. ZMF is not capable of a "conversation".

OK, i'm good with any and all permutations of the above ideas. It'd be better than "More Than a Game", anyway.

Yes please. That page should default to "comments".

If only these people could band together somehow.
In some sort of "Arayan Nation", perhaps.

After reading pages of screen-wide paragraphs of pink text on a black background, i'm just about ready to go blow stuff up, too.

@binaryZen - thank you for taking the trouble to intelligently articulate my flippantly smart-arsed objection.

Not that that would necessarily be a bad thing, i suppose…

Everybody OK down there, JM? Been some frightening pictures out of Sydney recently.
