Wonder if the upsell would be to charge not by the inch but rather the foot?

Of course the backpage.com crowd spoils the party by offering free verse.

Half-rates for shooting blank verse? Heroic couplets for muscle worshipers?

Or try Paradise Regained. Perils of posting when sober.

The lit'ry kind, evidently. Happy endings just don't seem to make good art most of the time. The great Paradise Lost has, when you look at it, Satan as its (anti-, but not really) hero, whereas Paradise Redeemed is only slightly more readable than the Book of Mormon ("chloroform in print" -- Mark Twain). And so forth, and so on.

Bit fey, but a good effort. Poetry Brothel puts the bawd in bard A party where you pay to have verse read to you in a bordello-style setting is packing in the punters. Are poetry and sex work really comparable? http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/oct/28/poetry-brothel-putting-bawd-in-bard

Surely you grant that today's so-called news machine can be nearly as bad as pols.

I give. Apparently this new trove may not be quite the news it was of course hyped to be. See also such things as http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0767026977?pc_redir=1413951199&robot_redir=1

Indeed!

Apt!

Headline: "extremely rare" Subhead: "only known" Text: "We thought at the time that this was the only colour film of the war in Europe. As it turned out, there was some German film that had not yet been discovered," he said. "But it is the greatest body of colour film, and World War II was a black-and-white war. That's how we see it. That's how we saw it. And suddenly to see it in colour, it just took on a whole other dimension." MsGuy:

If getting drunk and telling hellacious stories was the "old" sexual release.

Probably posted most of them here.

And of course what to sip the while but Hungary's famous red...

Patch your computer into your TV screen for this if you can. The art direction really sings when you can actually see it.

Thank you! That made me remember -- how could I forget Romero's exquisite Martin... ...vampirism as a metaphor for misunderstood adolescence. Or t'other way around...? (Really had the hots for this actor first time I saw it, a transference of unrequited lust for an alas straight college friend whom I dragged to see the flick with me.)
