“All is the third part of the cipher”

By The Scavenger Oracle

The third part of the cipher is you, it is me.
It is the sound of the wind and is flies through a tree,
It is the force of the rain, the voice of the turtle,
And the light of the heavens, the scope of God’s girdle.

It is the recognition of someone you love, the sorrow apart,
And the last fading beat of a swift dying heart.
It is the quiet of forest, and its roaring clatter.
It is the hand on your shoulder, asking “what’s the matter?”

The third part of the cipher is your friends and your family,
Your lovers, your car.
It’s all that we’ve seen, in a church or a bar.
And if at a poem this useless you bridle…

Now go find the next clue from the Oracle’s bookie,
He’s not there in grad school life, for he’s playing hooky.
He’ll tell you two things, only one of them’s true.
It’s the one that makes the many into the few.

Celebrity mags and gossip sites. Oh, and the fora. Obviously.

Dear Prudence on Slate. Too many pieces of dark chocolate and pistachio covered toffee from Trader Joe's. Make Me a Supermodel. The really cute Dominican guy at my local bodega. Dig Dug, Mappy and Pac Man.

I'm now writing a discourse analysis of porn, which I hope to publish in Social Text or Representations.

I'm tired of Lindsay Lohan's fake tan.

[thenewyorker]

Anyone see her "Marilyn" spread in New York Magazine? Pretty fantastic breasts, even with that fake tan.

[rodentmind]

Lindsay Lohan does have great breasts, I agree. I don't like  them as much as my own, of course, but still.

Eh.  My wife's breasts are waaay more fantastic.

And no, they're not a guilty pleasure.  I feel no guilt whatsoever. ;)

There's only one way to settle this...

I go up to an undisclosed location in Northern New England, where my cult has a survival compound, and get a couple of fresh clips for my AK, and then head out to the shooting range to take out my frustrations.  We have an excellent scarecrow in the image of that noted enemy of the Faith, Hillary Rodham, and I enjoy literally blowing the stuffing out of it whilst singing 'Onward Christian Soldiers'.  I can hear the music now... what fun!

kaysixteen, you have me laughing. Kudos for the sense of humor.

I'm not convinced kaysixteen is kidding.

[invinoveritas]

I'm not convinced either......perhaps rodentmind doesn't know K16 too well.  That sounds about par for the course.

But didn't HRC once say that someone or another "deserved to be shot"?

Er, I do, but I thought maybe the comments above pointed to a sense of self-irony. I hope I was right. The alternative is: how vomititious (if I may coin a term).

She looked more like Mrs. Robinson from "the Graduate" than she did Marilyn Monroe. it's kind of sad that someone so young could look so beaten down, considering her advantages.
