I seem to recall seeing somewhere that Cafe Society is the place to post original poetry, but after searching ATMB for Cafe Society and reading about a dozen threads, I can’t find it again and must assume that either I have a false memory, or it was in some other forum, or something else. In any case, where ought we to post original literature? Or ought we not to post it at all? ---

You post your original poetry in Cafe Society, I’m gonna copy it out and mail it to all the best magazines under MY name. And when those checks start pouring in, boy, I won’t even drink your HEALTH with all the Champagne I’m gonna get me. ---

Man, never trust a man with a ukelele. Those things make one positively Machiavellian. ---

Nero - I can picture with a fiddle. David - yeah, I can see him with a harp. Machiavelli with a ukelele ----- just can’t see that. ---

Uhoh. Slashing an “end hijack” tag means the hijack goes on forever, doesn’t it? Hmmm… Will this work? [/[/end hijack]] [/hijack] Crud, that just makes things worse. ---
