There is a lesson to be learned here. Whether it matters or not will depend on how old you are and whether you've decided that procrastination is a viable religion.

Paranoiac Criticism by Fro Boy

Intro by Spaceman Spiff and our newest member Zaphod

Feeling brave,
fancy yourself as a bit of an amateur psychopathologico-literary
artiste and critique?

"Critical Paranoia was conceived as an experiment in applied psychopathology, with the avowed purpose of subverting reality."

It is worth noting that in the late 1920s and 1930s, the 'paranoiac-critical method' whereby Salvador Dali (1904-89) attempted to see like a medium, thereby conjuring a stream of freely associative imagery from his unconscious, resulted in such hallucinatory, disturbing paintings as the Great Masturbator (1929) and Soft Construction with Boiled Beans: Premonition of Civil War (1936). He became quite commercial, much to the disgust of Breton and others, who accused him of 'selling-out' and betraying the surrealist movement.

English Seventeenth Century Nonsense Poetry by Lear

Intro by tonsil revenge
The classical education can be a royal pain. Generations of pupils have rubbed their eyes under the strain of tortured refrains scribbled by poets and prosits propped up by the patronage of practically illiterate aristocrats.

Let this be a lesson to students, both former and latter and headmasters all over. There is nothing wrong with playing with your words. More is often learned with whimsy than with the whip. Witness this entry by an intrepid soul.
