Therefore your presidency would depend, I suppose, on your being elected by public acclaim, based on your natural charisma.

When do you intend visiting the US, so that this can happen?

That and a constitutional amendment

Nothing is impossible. Given sufficient charisma.

As I'm sure you know.

This is certainly worthy of preservation:

You know, I think it was Duchamp who took a part of Butler's Scotland Forever and magnified it to the point that the drops of paint looked exactly like modern art. All painting is slabs of color and lines that delineate shapes. It's all a farce, because even your beloved "realistic" paintings are two-dimensional images masquerading as a three-dimensional image that you "see through the window of the frame." Duchamp's point with the magnification stunt is that modern art, which pretends to be nothing but what it is, is more "honest" than this perspective-based art, which is essentially a trompe l'oeil.

People have been ending haikus with 'refrigerator' since the dawn of haiku.

Does the Japanese word for refrigerator also have 5 syllables?

And here I thought I was being quoted for an impressive succinctness that so often evades me.

 

[JollyRoger]

I can quote you for that:

im ashamed by the number of unpatriotic cowards we have on here! Those of you who say youd join the 'winning side' are an insult to everything american, dont you have the guts to stand up and die for what you believe in? If you dont care enough about America to die for her, then go move to China, Im sure theyd be happy to have you.

Simply proof that there is hope for the young-un conservatives, even Dommy!

God help us if we get the commie take on Ron Paul and the Civil War in every thread when that future arrives.

You apparently didn't believe in capitalization back then. So at least you've always been anti-capital!

I prefer free-form haikus. More commonly known as sentences. But that's probably because I've never tried to write a haiku. How's it done? Is it a bit like automatic writing, and you just write down whatever comes to mind? And then throw everything out but 17 syllables?

A haiku is a 3-line poem, of exactly 17 syllables, divided as 5-7-5. Ideally, it should express a single thought.

We could start a haiku thread in the Arts & Entertainment forum...

It has (what looks like) three

''Nope, Temujin is a magical wizard who merely pointed to areas on the map and they fell under the control of the Mongol Empire. Tragedy struck when he broke his finger though. That's the only reason the Mongols didn't usurp all of Christendom.''
