- No, I think he's readying his treatise on a comparison of relevant
- social aspects of 'farting' for rec.arts.books, since that clearly is
- the place for such 'output', when one considers the deadly fumes often
- exuded by old tomes in dusty library shelves when opened for the first
- time in decades, not to mention the flatulent dialogue that pervades
- much of the network in all cases. I can't say 'moronic', especially
- since he has a comprehension of the 'deep shame' provoked by farting
- in arabic cultures, and I wouldn't presume to have offended his finely
- honed sensibilities by discussion of archival media, Jack, well Jack I
- don't know. Maybe I could contribute more to rec.arts.books by
- discussing a French 19th century stage performer who could fart
- musically, or an asshole performer in John Water's "Pink Flamingos",
- or even go so far as to discuss the textual significance of a French
- wine which has the curious name of "Pet de nonne", or "Nun's fart".
- Perhaps it's his classic Glaswegan's tight-assedness which makes him
- worry about or at least dote on the idea of farting. One never knows.
-
- Clearly, though, the purity of rec.arts.books is foremost in his
- thoughts. I give the man the clap, and a nice SBD puff.
