One of my personal favorites:

stlukesguild: From what I recall Hitler was an "art lover" as were quite a few of the most rapacious rulers of the Italian Renaissance.

Mortalterror: Did he just compare himself to Hitler?

Haha - I remember this, one of the few times I uncontrolably laughed out loud in real life while on lit net

Really? I find myself laughing aloud quite often on LitNet, try #36 of this thread for example.

Looking at some posts about Jane Eyre, I came across this from Adriana and posted in 2007. It is so well written that I have included in in this thread.

I very much doubt that you will find a novel as beautiful as Jane Eyre. Of course, there may be many stories as sensitive and profound as this one, but I dare say that the whole book is so perfect in itself, I mean: language, chronology and development of the plot, that it makes you feel at ease when you finish reading it. Now and then I read the book once again and when I am done, I close it, put it on my chest for a while and cannot help taking a deep sigh and try to make an imaginary journey into the past. I imagine myself living in those days of the nineteenth century, without electricity, proper heating and that sort of things that are nowadays unthinkable to do without, and that not only astonishes me, but gives me a whole lot of sensations and perceptions of the writer and each of the characters of her work of art. Those were hard days; strict education and religion, illnesses would kill most of the weak population and yet, the human soul always makes its way through. The human soul and one´s willingness to overcome suffering and make something real good out of it, is what reassures me the idea that there is hope for all of us. In my opinion, this is the great message that Charlotte has left for all of us. It is her gift for us. No matter how hard your life may be, there is always a light at the end of the road, as long as there is light inside of yourself.

Some of my faves from the person with an alarming but weirdly cool fondness for Phones.

"I need answers. My boyfriend is a gangster. I love him.""

AND

My phone drinks wine. I will love him till forever. I wrote a confession for him lately. He typed his number and a name into my cell phone, and walked into my heart."

ALSO

I will give you more punishment if you do not know etiquette in a literature forum, where you are not invited. It is because you are a shame for literature and this website. How can such an ugly man teach youngsters in college, when he is a ruined coward, sheepish indeed himself? How can he guide his gangsters? They will laugh absolutely. You will have to revenge and bully more people to heal your damaged dignity? pitiable. Why not ask your mother to wipe off your tears?
I trust myself and my friend.

Pretty weird, I wonder who's being referred to in the last one. Do you know anyone who teaches youngsters in college, ugly, a ruined coward and sheepish ?

She has a way with words, doesn't she? I enjoy reading her posts, even if it's often hard to tell what she's actually talking about.

Last I heard she was energetically doing translation work for a large Asian country:eek6:.

I hope her work does not involve security of defence(or anything relevant), it could make for a catastrophic outcome. I can only imagine how some of these translations turned out.

I thought the above was strangely titillating.

Here's another that I have just found on the 'Gay Hamlet' thread.
He's certainly living up to his alter ego G L Wilson. Would anyone like to take a stab at the meaning?

I think someone mispelled once as Hamlot. It all started there. Then with The Merchant of Venice it became worse because of the bet. And with the advent of Turberville Needham and his Aristotelian proof of spontaneity in the birth of flies, nobody was capable of any doubt.

I'll be happy to ellucidate Emil.
Hamlot is a another way of saying a "Lot of Ham". The Merchant of Venice was betting Hamlet that his mother's hasty marriage was merely a ploy to collect as much "funeral baked meats" i.e. ham, to the reception, so John Tuberville Needham could carry out his experiemnts with fly larva in the rotting aforementioned meats.

hahahahahaha

and the smileys... asking to get rid of the smileys on the messages because they are too bright

hahahhahaha

yeah, that was a good thread.

I'm going to add one more from the author that has been mentioned above:

Quote:

You didn't read it correctly. The green color mocks me because it represents a bad phone.

and from a different author, but just as confusing/odd:

Quote:

But Wolf, stop disappointing me. I rather have you as one of the great messiahs than 99% of the ones mental myopia recognizes. Keep shaking the apple tree. When this is over you should go to update the wing of Antonin Artaud.

Ohhhh yeaaah, especially this one because it resembles the green circles: :lol:

So did she ever marry the phone? What happened?

I made a thread about how Charles Dickens traveled to my hometown, which he didn't like. Mortal decided to write an angry letter to Mr. Dickens for me, which is hilarious:

And when you say that my wife is ugly and ill mannered you might just as well have been talking about any woman as well as she! Master of descriptive prose, my ***! Your whole article is pure fabrication and poppycock from start to finish. As soon as my son gets home from the factory, I will dispatch him to the general store to return every one of your books we have pilfered forthwith, and I assure you my daughter shall not soon steal another.

P.S. On the off chance that you were mistaken about the locale and were really writing about Wisconsin, I beg your apologies. You are quite right, sir. That land is a hotbed of sodomy and witchcraft, may the Earth swallow it up.

Sincerely, Mutatis-Mutandi

Also, Bastable is older than me and I dare say I have a bit of a crush on him.

You have a crush on MarkBastable, Emil?!?! It takes courage to come to terms with who you really are, Emil. Good for you!
