the s v. r, et al, doggyreal sparring match ticks thread spread, by  R_Reid_Welch  7 Feb 10 10:42PM Thread Closed

Somebody had to start it.  All are welcome
S-boy is surely asleep as I write this,
because he's in the same time zone,
and it is Monday, in the wee hour of 1:37 AM, E.S.T.


Shush...let this be a surprise!  We all are going to have FUN
at everybodies BLOODY (not really) de-recompense.


Speak only in verse, very bad verse of any sort?


Now to BUMP the other thread for a GRIND when Sequ-suck-sick (gosh darn it! I can never spell nonsequitur screeney names!)

-------------

There was a little squirrel
With a little girl
Right in the middle of its forehead

Because it lept
From the tree in which it slept
And landed on young Agnes Morehead.


Ta,

Agnes Morereidhead

She was so special, not a comedian, but a great dramatist

The first and best way is to SEE and hear the direct result of former eras' poets' works of their times. "poetry" as we make it today, is deader than Ethyly, the leaded petrol dinosaur (leaded gasoline, a USA foist of poison upon the world

The radio play was such a success that it became a first run motion picture.
Why Agnes did not get the lead may owe to any number of reasons, not her fault.

But, oh my goodness: strong and -resilient- and brilliant women, they do affect me and they do INFLUENCE you all, if you have brains, to know WHICH of the genders really rules best.

More head?

one of THE great films of all time: Welles at his zenith,
and Ms. Morehouse is a major part of the fabric that made this film classic.
She was not a comedian, not at all.

Mr. Welles had the most beautiful male American speaking voice of all;
only Dylan Thomas, who self destructed, could be considered a vocal rival,
but Thomas was only a resounding poet.  Welles was a WRITER and PERFORMER.

----this is not a detracking, but a sidebar discussion to lead to WHY poets and prose writers cannot make things like this today: no historical story can be told today with such reality, so close to the time, so close to the true.

It is from this film that I picked up my pet phrase "Please to...leave my house!"

reid,
serene.

"The magnificence of the Ambersons began in 1873..."

Isabelle, this is THE film adaptation of a great, great only-in-America story.
YOU play the female hero.

Our young man, S?  He is best represented by the son, "Georgie".

Does anyone here see any person in the film, that in real life of today,
they may know, in any way?  Isabelle: you are a beautiful woman,
just as you would wish to be:


and there you are, here.  And you can write right well, too.

R.Reid Booth
Tarkington-wanna be with the inferior Welles voice
over an young man nearly capable of saving himself and all,
if he will simply watch the movie and then make poetry that is of real life
and not of half empty coffee tables for two zeros.

I must take back what I just said in closing the prior post.  
X it out of memory, if possible?

Isabelle: plays herself
Reid: plays Eugene (see part two)
Georgie: is our young man, our -we know who-

and the story is the story of elders and youth in conflict,
of love and glory gained, lost, queer looking ducks, the incredibly fast
changes of life, apace, ever so frightening then, moreso than to-day.

"AUTOMOBILE? Well, well!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why, Georgie, I am surprised at you!

And that line is not of the film, but is of the era,
and expression, mixed of surprise and dismay, plus love for the lost.'

part two,

I arrive to court Isabelle again.

In films we see films of reality, drawn shadows of light and dark
now blurry, but aren't we all to go blurry in time?

And of the film: the confluence of a great writer, director, and THE best actors of 1940, of the world.

I was a personal friend of the grandson of "Eugene".  He is...today...I think he, the grandson, who was a social friend, Cotton by surname, silk by demeanor...I think he is gone now.

more noise than audio, but you can, by persistence, make out what he said.

BTW, again:>  am not a crow or polyp, but a genuine, former friend of Mr. Fox's
grand daughter.  Her name, if I recall is Isabella Fox -0------0 surname omitted to protect her memory from harm by others.

Again, for those who can see The MOVIETONE, this is the first, nearly of -talking pictures- , and is historic beyond mere words' powers to convince:

Dr. Benchley is addressing the Ladies Club on the subject of the reproductive habits of the polyp, a small aquatic organism. Although he is not able to display his live specimens, he has prepared a series of pictures of his subjects. He explains that the subject is made more complicated by the fact that polyps are able to change their sex from time to time. Then he presents some of the pictures of his specimens and the experiments that he has done with them."



notes r.w. This transfer is NOT of my doing, and is MUCH superior in video and audio quality to that of the other transfer I have previously cited.
In my commentary at the still image above, are many typos...owing to that I can barely see well, and have only  500 characters, in which to "perverse" or converse with an early respondent to that particular iteration of the great speech.  

What I mean to say, is: I, r.w. (not r.b) tend to fuck up a great deal.
My great failings: spellings, spillings of verbal guts, and an inability to be famous,

or to change my sex at will, as can a polyp.  Also, regrets offered that I cannot
be a giant, inky squid, and marinate our "bloodfetish"; not leagally, not morally, not properly....why?  

Because I cannot swim.  In New England.


Thank you,

For semen slick boy, and for no other:


I like to make fun of my many errors of typing and or speech; to wit:


of the other transfer I have previously cited.

Dear S-man,

IN A PERVIOUS incarnation of self, I used to =pahk cahs in Broklynn, on alternate twensdays, for pin money for my hollow brooch, so that I did not have to dress as a woman and sell my booty for Automat food money.

I kid a great deal.  In result, young goat bleat in pain,
for they do not like much to be fucked up the goat-hole, posteriorially

speaking.


YOURS SLAW-Ways,

Reid, the....giant

hello, reid. i'm in school right now...

you have a good productive day...don't think about me too much, okay? haha...(oh man...i'm hilarious, ain't i?)

re: the s v. r, et al, doggyreal sparring match ticks thread spread, by  R_Reid_Welch  8 Feb 10 10:44AM Thread Closed

That's right, you are in school right now!
You have important things to do.

I am stuck in a chair, quite sober, but unless I remember to "page magnify",
I can't type for shite, not even to "make merry".

None of the above stuff of mine is meant to make you upset,
but if you can puzzle any of it out (am very hard to "read"),
there is some sense to nonsense.  

The polyp flim (notta typo) is classic.
That's the one thing I hope you will see.

SEX in the roaring twenties!

glow on now,

r.

a p.s from The Great Polyp:  R_Reid_Welch  8 Feb 10 10:53AM Thread Closed

"(oh man...i'm hilarious, ain't i?)"

Yes, you can be.  It's all a matter of mental balance,
and to never take one's self to seriously.

To be able to make light of his pain or plain or goofiness, is a gift
to be cultivated: like the crabgrass in our backyards:

you can't kill it, so you might as well piss on it.

even green things need nitrogen and proteins.

i'll watch the polyp one later on tonight...
