*sigh* another boring evening supporting people

[reynardo]

and catching up on back-posts in customers_suck, when one caught my eye. Most of the post was your usual stuff, but the intro got me giggling:

I used to work as a bouncer at a goth bar in Toronto... Now, it wasn't a hard job, really... There weren't very many fights that broke out in the place, and when something went down, there was a lot more yelling, posturing, spitting curses, hissing, hand gestures, and reciting of poetry than there was physical contact made between the two people involved.

And now I have the glorious image of a large leather-clad ferocious figure cowering on the ground, whimpering, as drzero, clad in Antons coat and looking suave and stunning (as always), stands over him, pointing menacingly and reciting poetry at him. A crowd of likeminded people in suitably glorious Goth gear circle the hapless intruder and jeer in double-dactyl as silverblue comes in for the death-blow of blank verse.

My ribs hurt now. :)

Hah! I shall recite sestinas at you!

[drzero.livejournal.com]

Heh, sestinas are OK if you want to keep your opponent at a distance, I prefer the short sharp haiku or epitath myself. :) Possibly a villanelle if I'm feeling really mean...

*smirk* Oh dear, you aren't going to make me resort to Wilde-isms are you? It's so uncouth. *preen*

You've reminded me of the 1970 film "Gas! or It Became Necessary To Destroy The World In Order To Save It". In one section of the movie, 2 sides have a gunfight by pointing their fingers and calling out the names of actors who played cowboys.

Dammit!

Now I have to watch it.

Rather belated reply - I should have it on video somewhere around the house. Always happy to show it to somebody else.
