should revenge be served hot or cold, or tepid?
or maybe with a small rasher of baby greens with cherry tomatos and a lite champagne vinnagrette?
why "measure " revenge?
Karma does as karma does?

Re: Revenge? Hot or cold?
Fri, July 3, 2009 - 4:11 PMI see the point behind waiting to take one's revenge until one doesn't want to anymore. -

Re: Revenge? Hot or cold?
Sat, July 4, 2009 - 5:24 AMthat doesn't sound very savory.
I say revenge while its hot. -

Re: Revenge? Hot or cold?
Sat, July 4, 2009 - 1:56 PMno, no let the deserving accrue an exstensive list of possible enemies, for a few years, and then when you strike, they will not know who to lay blame upon.
such is the lot of the wrath of Mr. pure. -

Sat, July 4, 2009 - 2:34 PMonce again; that doesn't sound very satisfying. If not satisfaction, why revenge at all?

Thu, July 16, 2009 - 2:00 PMIce fucking cold.
You go an off some one within some reasonable time of them pissing you off and you are numero uno on the pig's suspect list.
Wait at least 15 years. Then, if you still burn go kill the bastard.
I prefer the knife and axe It is sooooo personal and nothing says "REMEMBER ME???" like a knife jammed in the intestines.

What a prosaic, earthy world it is anymore !
Fri, July 17, 2009 - 8:32 PMThe fact that this present topic thread about revenge gets so many responses ...and the far more fascinating , narrative about the anomalous experience of Elizabeth Bishop : in the waiting room of the dentist gets zero responses thus far ---is yet one more sign of the times . One more sign of the rinky-dink , culturally entropic zeitgeist .
The post thread about Elizabeth Bishop : in the waiting room of the dentist in Worcester, Massachusetts .The present post on revenge digs into .....revenge .
Yet one more sign of what an earthy , kitch soaked , prosaic world it is anymore.
What a mundane , earthy world it is anymore ! -

Re: What a prosaic, earthy world it is anymore ! (Fixing the typos)
Sat, July 18, 2009 - 12:31 AMWhat exactly are we supposed to say about Elizabeth Bishop's waiting room experience?
The poster of this thread asked several questions in the original post. The Elizabeth Bishop post was a bit of poetic prose, not requesting additional comment. That a thread asking questions posed by the thread's author would have more responses than a thread with quoted prose written a hundred years ago requesting no additional comment should not be surprising. -

Re: What a prosaic, earthy world it is anymore ! (Fixing the typos)
Sat, July 18, 2009 - 9:43 AMHi Enrika ,
Long time no see .
Well at least somebody could have typed : 'that's a damn interesting experience' or something like that, in regard to the story reported by Elizabeth Bishop ?
And let me , now, ask you a question ,Enrika ...What does the part about it being "written a hundred years ago" have to do with the lack of enthusiasm and responses towards the text ?
(And actually it wasn't exactly written a hundred years ago ...she had the account of the experience published a number of decades after the event . And the experience ...presuming she didn't make it up...and I give her the benefit of the doubt ....did not take place a hundred years ago either . 1918 ---is long , long time ago ...but it is not a hundred years ago yet . 1918 won't be a hundred years ago until 2018 A.D . As an aside , my maternal Grandmother (who was from West Virginia) God rest her soul -- she left in 1994 , the spring of that year---was born in 1918 ) .
Anyways I'm glad you asked , Enrika (earnestly I am glad) . -

Sat, July 18, 2009 - 1:27 PMI was rounding. A hundred is near enough to 90 for my point.
"What does the part about it being "written a hundred years ago" have to do with the lack of enthusiasm and responses towards the text ?"
It was prose from another time. An intimate little slice of a brief moment of someone's life who isn't even around to comment on it anymore, and you didn't add any comment of your own other than to say it was "fascinating." I'm not saying that we don't discuss the poetry of dead people, but you certainly didn't present it as something on which you were attempting to elicit comment. You didn't even put "Discuss" at the end. If it had been topical, it might not have elicited comment either. But I think it would have been far more likely.
You post a bit of old prose without comment, someone else asks several questions. You can hardly be surprised when the other person's post elicits more comments than yours. -

Response: I see .
"What does the part about it being "written a hundred years ago" have to do with the lack of enthusiasm and responses towards the text ?"
Enrika Posted :It was prose from another time.
Response: Yeah, well it is: that does that mean that the literary "wine" has aged so much its turned to vinegar ?

Reponse: Well you have something of a valid notion there . Maybe I should have asked readers to comment .
Enrika Posted : You didn't even put "Discuss" at the end. If it had been topical, it might not have elicited comment either. But I think it would have been far more likely.
Response : Maybe so .
Enrika Posted :You post a bit of old prose without comment, someone else asks several questions. You can hardly be surprised when the other person's post elicits more comments than yours.
Response: Well I wish that I had asked people to comment. Perhaps I should try an experiement visit other message boards that have other posts that (unlike the narrative from Elizabeth Bishop) are of an earthy nature and entreat comments and see if the one about Ms Bishop gets any comments. Comments other than , "what's that crazy sh--t about" ? or people calling it "pretentious" because it is it isn't sexy, or otherwise earthy and/or kitch laden to entertainement.... or filled with self-help movement platitudes to set their fingers to typing some yuckity-yuck . -

can't we even joke around for a minute Jason?
If that thread was so important to you; couldn't you have posted your lamentations over there?
what is it with you that you have to tie every post you make in every thread into the most recent screed of psuedo~philosophy you've churned out?
anybody want revenge on Jason? -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Re: What a prosaic, earthy world it is anymore !
Tue, July 21, 2009 - 4:26 PMElizabeth Bishop called me and asked me to tell you that she says to stop dragging her into everything.
I don't give a rat's ass whether you do but, she's all lit up about it. -
-
Re: What a prosaic, earthy world it is anymore !
Tue, July 21, 2009 - 7:48 PMShe called you from beyond the veil ?
I remember sometime in 1980 (when I was still something of a youngster) seeing a book in a bookstore titled , 'Phone Calls From The Dead.'
I wouldn't mind taking her ghost out on a date ---provided a friend could drive us (I don't drive cars) .
Next time you hear from her , tell her that I'm trying to show people via means of the literature she writes , possibilities for experience that are very profound ...genuinely profound . Trying to turn them on to something far more profound than putrid trash like the so-called prophecies of Nostradamus , or trash like the so-called Celestine Prophecy et al .
I truly would like to take her ghost on a date or drink some wine with her by the pond . Not mustard wine , I don't know if she would like that sort of wine . Play it safe and try white Zinfadel .
Reportedly , she was of a lesbian orientation , but I would explain to her I'm aesexual / NOT into sex , so it shouldn't matter .

Re: Revenge? Hot or cold?
Tue, July 21, 2009 - 4:29 PMRevenge is far too broad to be pigeonholed into one cooking instruction. Sometimes it's best hot, sometimes better served cold, however some prefer it julianed or broiled. -

Wed, September 30, 2009 - 8:29 PMThe best revenge leaves a weakened villain sobbing at my feet while I laugh, loud and long, with unreserved venom.
Hero? Knight? Goddess? All fables. I'm talking about apes and what we're all about. Some lack the stomach. Some lack the subtlety. Most lack the drive. Have faith in the apathy of humankind, and all will seem golden. For a while.
