white wine... and plenty

Do not attempt to post a blog to advogato while drunk.

Well, that's a good laugh for first thing this morning!

Enjoy your hangover.

any accidental post which reaps only laughter must be by devine intervention. Be afraid that your wish might come true with more purple drunkards dancing under this post ...

Do you mean "bovine intervention"?

on the subject of bovine INTERCOURSE , i simply can't decode the poem into any coherent thread. My own impression is that the poet did not show proper respect to the dead couple with her rambling. It didn't matter to me how many poetry rewards this particular author has reaped under her name. Any one here care to offer a better judgement and intuition on the poem's subjectivity. How should I read it? Should i pay attention to those pronouns? Who's I, you and he refers to in the poem?

Was that a Freudian slip? Divine intervention is always hypothetical (or at best unproveable), but "devine", i.e. "of the vine", or drink-induced, is often readily demonstrated. Is devine intervention equivalent to the (demi-)divine work of Pan? Am I a purple drunkard? Drunk on what, I wonder.

The expression "wife to miss" reverses the normal progression of "Miss to wife" demarcated by a wedding, and in principle never reversible. Perhaps he meant "a miss to wive", as that is the verb form.

(tk, your postings could not suffer in quality were you to defer them for a day to consider how they might be made more deeply amusing to your audience. Those that do not improve by the delay might better not appear at all, and thereby avoid diluting what merit is achived by the rest.)

No, ncm, your suggestion goes against the "release early, release often" that is the cornerstone of open source development. By the (24-hour) time one comes up with the Perfect Advogato Posting Which Everyone Can Laugh About, nobody'll really care anyway.

Merit? You see, merit is in the eyes of the beholder. ncm thinks His Great Hilarious Posting Which Was Attained After Twenty-Four Hours is a work of pure genius; I think it is no better than my one-sentence posting which came up after 24 seconds. Some other people think that Objectivist thought is profound; I think it's profound bull. What we really need is a standardized "mojometer" which can measure the amount of merit, or mojo, or karma that is inherent in a posting.

Om.

tk, we really don't need a "mojometer' or anything even closely related. If someone isn't smart enough to make their own decision about whether or not something is funny, worthwhile, whatever, they probably shouldn't be here. That type of addition would lend an element of popularity contest and detract from the reasoned discussion that should be the intent.
