Some so-bad-it's-good-ism:
e.g. "'Twas warm, the air redolent of the sweet leavings of the horses." and much more from here.
"Dana violently fights Mark using kick boxing and Hapkido! She punches Mark! She throws several straight blows to his face again! She elbows Mark! She kung fu's Mark! She knees Mark! She knees him real hard again and again in the groin area!" from here.
"her neck was a bottle of wine covered in dew and otters" from here.
---
More of that last one can be found here. Best read in Stephen Fry's voice. "Language is a complimentary moist lemon-scented cleansing square or handy freshen-up wipette. Language is the breath of God. Language is the dew on a fresh apple, it's the soft rain of dust that falls into a shaft of morning light as you pluck from a old bookshelf a half-forgotten book of erotic memoirs..." |

Wonderful! Do you know the book "The Stuffed Owl"?
No, but now I do. I'll have to look for it.
On the Death of Queen Victoria: Dust to dust and ash to ashes,
Into the tomb the great Queen dashes. From Browning (from a great poem, actually), this rhetorical question: Irks care the maw-crammed bird? Crammed indeed.
"Sacred and sweet is the joy that must come From the furnace of life when you've poured off the scum." "The Crucible of Life" by Edgar A. Guest And who could forget "The Bridge of Sighs" by Thomas Hood -- exhibit A for the Case Against Dactyls: "Still, for all slips of hers, One of Eve's family— Wipe those poor lips of hers Oozing so clammily."
"Perishing gloomily,
Spurr'd by contumely,
Cold inhumanity,
Burning insanity,
Into her rest.—
Cross her hands humbly
As if praying dumbly,
Over her breast!"
This poem is a catastrophe,
down to the causeless apostrophe
EXtrinsically. EXtrinsically.
Ever since you showed me that video, I'm alarmed at how constantly relevant it feels so everything.
IKR? That's what makes it so remarkably effective.
Indeed. Come to think of it, it might have been the first I'd ever heard of Fry and/or Laurie anyway.
Watch the video linked to on the text "Stephen Fry's voice".
Jesus God that Dana book is FUCKED UP.
It is a fucked up book and Dana is in it! Dana is in the book and she fucks things up with her tight grip!
"Dana violently fights Mark using Hapkido!" reminds me of a Dwarf Fortress combat report. You know, if Dwarf Fortress involved people's genitals getting bitten off.
I was going to say that Dangerous Dana read like the product of a six-year-old mind, kind of like Axe Cop, and that said six-year-old must have been indulged by a parent or someone who arranged to have the self-publishing done. But do six-year-olds know about plea bargains? Or oral sex? Disturbed thirteen-year-old, maybe? | |
