Strontium Dawg Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Don't come to pieces in my hand White stars reflecting dust and sand That perfume makes me think of grief Shake the faith shake the belief Who's there to say that we're living this moment Feels like I'm in a play The sets and the props of this, your apartment Seem to be fading away, fading away So I wander through these rooms I feel the orbit of the moons And I dream what I become And all's forgotten by the sun (Steve Kilbey) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strontium Dawg Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Outside my window There's a world stuck in limbo A sidewalker scared Under gas station light alright Inside my house It's quiet as a mouse Outside my window They're tryin to play me for a fool They say they got my place surrounded Well nice attempt to keep me grounded Inside my house I shoot to kill I don't fuck around Inside this house I'm terrified This spirit world is upside down and inside out We've come too far, we're too bizarre to turn back now Lifestyle over everything, lifestyle over everyone They say, freedom has been found Lay your weapons down (The Bronx) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strontium Dawg Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 "Art alone makes life possible – this is how radically I should like to formulate it. I would say that without art man is inconceivable in physiological terms… I would say man does not consist only of chemical processes, but also of metaphysical occurrences. The provocateur of the chemical processes is located outside the world. Man is only truly alive when he realizes he is a creative, artistic being… Even the act of peeling a potato can be a work of art if it is a conscious act."

FancyPants Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The Bible And The Breathalyser Among the tattered dwelling of the new found home, in the furthest cramped corner sat the shell of a goat head strangled in copper wire, scraped of its insides, unwashed behind the ears, fueling the crooked names spoken by leeches To a thinning cowlick's fat his crippled limp, dragging along the hump of the floor. Sobbing from the smacking mouth of the demagogue wells, making wisecracks, spilling from the corners with their pink flinches, second glancing their every move It ate pickled nose cartilage that fell from the ceilings, a pork skin drizzle unnerving the humans, while it read aloud from its favorite books, in glossolalia slang and haruspex truths, following a slow and patient wait, a mocking their hair as it was glued to their upper lip combover Under the wall, the ships smeared by faithfully talking the magnum fanatics and their bottles of scalp soup They cooked up a tardis smudge on their eyes, a lunar antidote that powdered underneath the oncoming pestilence of their idling fingers It wrote them a seance, penetrated their every dependent desire It hacked off the central headpiece to the collective It wrote them a message in the marrow of the knife, with the extension of Baphomet* transfusion Glued to the animals, perversions of their former selves, patiently biting their fingernails looking for a clue As soon as it failed to appear, the faithful fell under the spell of public execution It had been an eternity filled with useless ritual, and all for nothing, promising salvation, but only flags came swarming around for a better taste What was left were the scraps, dressed in animal skin, defiled servants holding their breath, fatherless culprits blaming their kin, waiting for an answer They thought a day would come, or a giraffe might choke in midair squeal, some sort of indication Only it was the hands of the followers that had left their markings in neatly packed dunes filled with the decapitated remains, found sealed in sand It only stained the conscious for a brief moment, then came disgust Realizing there was nothing to it, people began collapsing in collective states of drought Palm-size vents heating in the chest, cluttering the graph, a bladder full of remains Nothing became of them because nothing was the reason, an apathetic display dripping into vats of obesity The feud had been sucking teeth for some time now, but the only baggage that paraded about was the curtain epidermis unfolded in an inebriated suit The fit came suffocating, feathering the boa-constricted paleness, frostbitten, and shovel-faced It came before them in utter confidence, flares of pink owls in the nest of albino eyelids blinking out chemical obscurities to the blind It bloomed into a hemorrhaged contraption that impopulated the disenchanted, one by one All the churches were converted into quarantine facilities, inside them grew bacterial stubble compacted by larvae, contracting and teething A newborn litter degradively sufficient, running from the horse collarbone, amongst the murmuring femurs whimpering in fractures "Are you the Polaroid shot you thought you were?", it said with a coy smirk With the position now vacant, it waltzed right in and made itself at home Seduced by the empty nominations at the altar of broken ballot boxes, closer to that nothingness that everyone seemed to embrace As it pissed all over them, the sigh of relief steamed off the soaking depressants, an impending sleep was on its way - Mars Volta (Cedric and Omar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETED ACCOUNT Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Imagine you have the following symptoms: vomiting, fever, chills, headache, cough, sinus and chest congestion, diarrhea, fatigue, sore throat, and jaundice. So, basically, death warmed-up. You see three doctors for advice. Doctor 1: I think you have COVID. This is an example of Occam's Razor: "simpler explanations are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones." Doctor 2: You might any or all of COVID, the flu, a cold, Gastro, mono, and/or hep. This is an example of Hickam's dictum: "A man can have as many diseases as he damn well pleases." Doctor 3: Sounds like late-stage cancer. This is an example of Crabtree's Bludgeon: "No set of mutually inconsistent observations can exist for which some human intellect cannot conceive a coherent explanation, however complicated." Who do you think was right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyPants Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I’m tempted to say none, because doctors. but 2? Because jaundice and sinus/chest congestion don’t really go together AFAIK and multiple morbidities are pretty common. i hope not 3 dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETED ACCOUNT Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 12 hours ago, FancyPants said: I’m tempted to say none, because doctors. lol, good point... most remind me of this dude: I reckon co/multi-morbidities must be common these days, especially with an ageing population living less healthy lifestyles... obesity and whatnot. I was thinking about these quotes because my family has experinced all three! One of us had COVID, another COVID + gastro + a cold, and another COVID and late stage lung cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
