Okay, I shall indulge you. Please accept this humble verisimilitude: __An Ode To Nathan__ Shall I compare thee to a summer cold? Niggling and pointless, yet entirely undesirable. Forsooth! it does dissipate my spleen to say that thou are indeed more pleasing, even tempered than a large, angered bull whose testicles lay ensnar`d in the metallic teeth of a vicious bear trap. To speak of my love's appearance - why `tis to sing of mountainous caverns of dung heaping in upon one's self, Or write magnificently effectual lyrics in memory of the most pungent odour one may`st conjure (magnified 1.163x10^18 times.) His sweet, golden innocence a light befitting of only the most endearing, nymph-like serpent within these Arcadian realms. His quiet, kind and humble words a gift for those weary travelled who knell upon the green-moss cobble of N's own oracle. So toast now to his health! Lift goblets t`ward the heavens high and proclaim - "Now may we drink greedily as disciples without quench from the honey-suckle fount of Good Nathan's wit and charm! For we are but peons underfoot and he our benevolent god!" ...and re-interpreted for the engineers on the list: __An Ode To Nathan__ I took the piss out of Nathan. But it was just a joke okay? That's about all I've got to say, `cept: 1/ I think Danny.H may be right about Vespertine. Bjork has surpassed Homogenic with that one, all I can think of is great big rocks hurtling through space... 2/Err.. Robbie Williams should be drawn & quartered for thinking he can cover Freddie. Until he has watched and picked up the joke of a video clip such as "The Miracle" I think there is no way he should be allowed to frump about in a tight singlet, clutching his groin. And that's my final word on the matter. ennui [theeightlegsofthedevilarecrawlingupmysp.i.n.e] _ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 06:06:47 +1000 From: Daniel Hirning Subject: Re[2]: [oztori] hang on, i'm getting serious Wednesday, August 15, 2001, 6:00:08 AM, ennui wrote: e> ...and re-interpreted for the engineers on the list: e> __An Ode To Nathan__ e> I took the piss e> out of Nathan. e> But it was just e> a joke e> okay? i'm beginning to enjoy this whole poetry thing immensely :) e> 1/ I think Danny.H may be right about Vespertine.

Extremely true.. - i am also getting confused with which dan said what... However, the only nick I've really ever had IRL, is not getting repeated on oztori..

She didn't threaten or warn! She said "Hey guys, I'm not trying to quash any hate here, but um, this IS my company email address and I don't think they'd look to kindly on Warner-hate mail, y'know what I'm saying? So please... try to keep your angst@Warners to a minimum :)" That is so not threatening or warning - it's mearly saying hey could you possibly keep it not quite as obvious 'cause someone's gonna come asking her questions about it and frankly i can understand why she doesn't want to have to deal with them. >Also, please do not threaten to 'delete' or other such things just because >they choose to download Tori songs, which are out there anyway. That is >*their* choice...( besides, read your own posts about the available >downloads, and your opinions of them, indicating *you* have heard them >before they were out, incuding *before* your 'promo' gift.) okay for start - why does it matter if she chooses to delete the posts - it's not affecting anyone else - but i don't actually recall reading an email where she has threatened to delete them anyway? If i'm wrong correct me (Nathan - this is your opportunity i believe...) And yeah - she has heard them - i'm sure all of us who have wanted to hear them have - and if you haven't well that's no reason to get shitty at Renee. >Rasp >(moderator of Oztori) we aren't anymore.
