You bunch of psychos

[Cato]

Cato, madness is relative, as you know.

"Ain't that the truth!"  You should see my family tree!   

[greg]

I saw the title from the main page (not even the subforum for Introductions) and instantly knew that Sean was back. 

[Sean]

G now? M wasn't so forever?

[greg]

G now? M wasn't so forever?

Yes, Inferior Sean, I figured it would be best to change the M to a G, since G stands for "Great", and that's what I am.

I look forward to more threads about your miserable life so I can harass you repeatedly, with humor, just like in the good old days. I also look forward to seeing your latest masculine-looking prostitute acquisitions, so I can feel better about myself.

I am a professional musician who has been composing, playing horn, and conducting for the last 50 thousand years. I have won so many awards that I take baths in trophies 3 times a day.
So you better not mess with me, or I'll kick your ass so hard they'll hear a sonicboom on Mars. Got it, chump?

"What! Are threatening?"

[greg]

Yes, G has had a life too full of accomplishments, such as playing bass professionally in orchestras for many years, to put up with imbeciles who post whatever crackpot theories they have on online classical music forums.

Ahhh..."wherever he roams, G Forever is a righteous dawg with a D-Diggy Pimp kinda style"

I'm feelin' ya, pimpsta.

I don't do prostitutes, very boring. And I'm not gay as you suggest but I did have an exceptionally good session with a transsexual once...I seem to be running out of new things to try.

Actually I have a little trip to India again in a few weeks. Last night I suggested to this Korean girl who I've had a few evenings with (seems more interested in learning English from me than being seduced, as yet anyway) that she comes with me. Really I think she's going to be too precious for filthy India but she might just say yes...

Sean...that's scary.

[sul G]

Who for? 

[Haffner]

Who for? 

(dying) That was perfect.

[Sean]

Hey...

[Haffner]

Hey...

We're just messing around, Sean. I'm glad you're back.

[Daedalus]

Sean - like you, I have been away from GMG for a little while. You might perhaps remember our discussions regarding modernism?

Have you found any 'thought-provoking' literature yet?  Of course, I have some suggestions if you are interested.

Indeed, as it turns out, I shall now be writing my MA dissertation on the subject of literary modernism. 

Sincerely yours,
Daedalus.

[greg]

Lol at this page.


Btw, Sean, I was pretending to be M Forever- I'm really Greg, and was just playing around. 

[sul G]

....or am I Greg???  ( I hold back from doing a Spartacus/Life of Brian here...). Two Gs in one place - which one of us is Greg and which is M? The arrogant one above, or friendly old me?   

[greg]

Easy. Just look at our profiles.

[sul G]

M, you cunning fox. 

[Sean]

M, G, BS, whatever, I'm not entirely convinced you or anyone else here actually exists anyway.

Hi there Daedalus, how's it going?

Oh yes, I remember asking about interesting literature. Novels can provide some very useful things to think about of course, but though I did make an effort at one time and explored some fascinating stuff my feelings now are a little more negative towards literature, I'm afraid.

This I'm sure is a little annoying to read but I'd argue that the majority of literature is interesting most for the terms of its encapsulation of life, rather than its aesthetic content itself- which, as with the other main arts (painting, sculpture, architecture etc), is much below that of music.

Literature is too formless and too subject to wonderings and rhapsody, whereas music is structured in interestingly fixed ways, exemplified by its relationship with the natural phenomena of consonance and dissonance. Literature has no comparable natural reference point and is too man-made...

I did read some award winning science fiction a while back but what might have took my interest years ago I can see through more readily today. In fact rather than illuminating, such experiences suggest to me I'm just clogging up my mind with some author's ill-worked out notions of human relations. The only author who's really impressed me and who've I've returned to over the years is Shakespeare.

I'm going to the bookstore on Tuesday actually to buy something to read while I do a little travelling in March- I don't think it'll be fictional though, something philosophically dense that's lightweight and needs reading a couple of times...

Sorry to be so contrary.
