    i would like to point out that most alleged cryptic statements have a temporal and physical reference in sci.
    to prior statements
    mine or another's.
    it is not simply pulled out of one's ass.

    it then fits

    the dynamics are related to the thread. the structure of the forum. breaking thread into logical branches would make for an easier interpretation

    witness kuro5hin and the the presidents penis. what is the methodology? does it have a name?

    You're not cryptic, you're practically transparent.
    Bloody jellyfish.

    why
    your stream of consciousness
    writing is like
    a redundant speedbump

    I like Gustav's posts.

    A usual forum post with proper spelling etc. gives me a similar feel in my mind as such images:

    IOW, on first reading, much gets past me because it is so seemingly clear. It captures my attention poorly. So on first reading, I have an unclear image in my mind.


    Gustav's posts, on the other hand ...

    For me, yes. For you, I don't know.

    I pick up mixed feelings about being known, which could have hardened into an implicit philosophy of communication that really does after all fit
    or only offers a frustrating/entertaining/unstable intermim plan.

    let them fly
    was good for me to contemplate
    maybe now I will get you better

    you gave the lazy man a way out via a direct question
    how ironic

    I have to work at reading anyone's posts, but Gustav's posts invite a different kind of work than the usual posts.
    Gustav's posts are a welcome refreshment.

    I posted the images above intuitively, I didn't give their choice much conscious thought.

    The part of yours I am quoting here: Fractals, Mandelbrot sets: As if there would be a clear boundary - yet the closer you look - it just isn't there. Unreachable intimacy. Where is the solidity.

    Fuck!
    hate myself for saying it.
    will repent with slanderous crap later
    Gustav is de man for being brutally honest
    will pile shit on crap like making compost
    but spreads the praise like mayonnasie

    "CHICK" is an Americanization of the Spanish word chica, the feminine form of the adjective chico, "tiny," but generally carrying an affectionate or humorous connotation like our slang word "teeny." All Spanish adjectives can stand alone as nouns, so una chica is "a little girl," but it has been generalized to any "girl," in the expanded sense of a teenage girl or a woman who looks, acts, or is regarded as young--specifically: available and desirable. Spanish culture sometimes surprises us and there is no sexism in this term: the word chico is just as commonly used for a teenage boy or a man, with similar meaning. E.g. the pop tune by Selena, El Chico en Apartamento 512.

    In the 1940s and 50s, Latin American musicians were a prominent force in the jazz scene in New York City (e.g. Tito Puente, or Desi Arnaz of "I Love Lucy"), popularizing the mambo and other Latin sounds and the dances that came with them. As a result, bits of Spanish slang from outside Mexico began entering the American language from the east, in contrast to the heavy infusion of Mexican words like rodeo and mangled Mexican words like "vamoose" (vamos), "lariat" (la riata) and "buckaroo" (vaquero) in the West. Another well-established word from the Latin jazz scene is "bebop," a catchy modification of "rebop," from Spanish arriba, "up or upward," an exhortation shouted by bandleaders to keep the mood and tempo of the music brisk.

    New York could justifiably be called the music capital of Latin America because "salsa," which to much of the world defines Latin music, was invented there. It is not the music of any one Latin American country, unless you count the United States. The musicians who participated cooperatively and harmoniously in its founding were from many countries, including Cuba, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic, and it spread back southward from Nueva York.

    thank you, fraggle

    your well meaning effort is misplaced
    this is my thread
    i am satisfied with it

    revert the topic post and title back to the original please
    you distort the historical record
    and that is a no no

    i actually saved a copy of sowhatifit'sdark's post since it could be held to be off topic by frag. i mean, it only contained two instances of the word haiku
