Manichaean! What a great post! You know, when people are refuting each other, and they start using imagery like this – all I can say is it's wonderful! I'm not exactly sure what his point is, I think he's making fun of me and possibly others, and he does it so well, his writing is absolutely hilarious! It's very talented writing actually!

Lol. Such wit embroidered like a fine shawl Manch, while I make do with toasted wholemeal humour dunked in tea.
Ya write it as raw as you like and refine the you-know what out of it later, when you've had more time to consider it. Cave men took branches out of trees and hit animals over the heads with it when they wanted food. Later men shaped them into arrows and did it from a distance. The branches were straightened and balanced and polished and feathered. Now more than a mere tool, they were a piece of art. And you know what? They were more deadly. Art pierces hearts more effectively than crudity, and still gives no quarter.
Being civilized and creating great art are two different things!
As I said before many great artists & writers could hardly be considered very civilized in the way that some of the posters here consider civilized. They were civilized in the sense that they knew the history of arts and literature, but they did not have all the stuffiness of those who consider themselves "civilized".
It is better to understand the history of art & literature, but at the same time be a barbarian. The pen is a sword. The pen is a phallus. The writer is to take his pen-phallus-sword and do things to "civilization" & the readers that I don't believe I can say here without getting disciplined.
The "civilized" writer/artist who is not a barbarian is the equivalent of a eunuch. Prickasso was no eunuch!
I assume paint brush is a phallus too, and so is chisel. hehehehehe
It was the third day before Christmas and Little Red Riding Hood found herself to be an alien concept in the middle of the stark barren landscape that comprises the California interior.
To set the script, she found herself on a sultry evening, buttocks clutching a bar stool in an establishment somewhere in a red-neck wolverine hamlet of nowhere. Her pockets reeked of currency begging to be liberated, with a view to enable her to take the edge off of the psychological aches and pains that had accumulated during her workaday tasks and chores.
A subconscious ensemble of beer and a double portion of Knob Creek bourbon fell before her, without having to even summon the energy to order.
It's a given that pints of ale or beer should be supplemented with a token gesture of liquor - a chaser if you will - and bugger me with a robust Lit Net pen if it doesn't just serve the purpose of alleviating the angst, anxieties and general "merde" that we as human beings have to endure on a day to day basis.
In one way or another, each and every one of us deserve to be emancipated from the utter tedium of lateral thinking. Who in their right mind would want to spend the whole day with their brain for company.
"Roger that for a game of soldier-boys, I'd rather go about adopting a serious crack habit whilst loitering around bus station conveniences with 'civilised writer' tattooed upon my perpetually sweating brow.
This is great writing! It's imaginative! It's unique! I don't read stuff like this everywhere.
Thank you MANICHAEAN – you brought a smile to my face!
"Power without control it's unuseful". Ten years ago, maybe more, there was an ad in which appears Carl Lewis wearing a woman high-heeled red shoes*. I'm not sure but you could see how ludicrous the best fast-runner of the world looked running with them. We could say the same: creativity without hard-working is unuseful, that is*, reading hard and give everything for every bloody line it comes from your pen or keyboard.Quote:
