I had a few friends over the other night for a "beers 'n' queers" party, which involves a case of assorted "Dogfish":http://www.dogfish.com/ and an episode of "Queer Eye":http://www.bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/. After the show was done, "Lauren":http://feralboy.com/photoalbum/photos/20030927_sushi/P1010006.jpg invited me to see her friend's band play in the Strip this weekend. Wanting to know a bit more, we all crowded around the computer and checked out "the band's site":http://www.geocities.com/solaramusic/. A perfectly fine site, but don't people know you can get "free hosting and cheap domains":http://feralboy.com/log/archives/000588/ these days? Anyway, while poking through the site we found this hilarious "poetry section":http://www.geocities.com/solaramusic/poetry.html. I really hate to make fun, since it's serious art and these are people pouring their hearts out, but I couldn't resist using their "entry form":http://www.geocities.com/solaramusic/submitjournal.html and submitting my own. My first poem was really bad... talking about putting my poop in a box and things like that... very Beat/experimental. The 2nd one was equally bad and overwrought, total goof. Imagine my surprise when I looked today and saw my 2nd poem had been taken seriously and posted! If you can't find it on that page, I'll give you a little hint. I used the fake name "Phil Illium" and the poem was called "Husk":http://www.geocities.com/solaramusic/poetry/husk-philillium.html. Get it? "Phil Illium - Husk":http://www.geocities.com/solaramusic/poetry/husk-philillium.html? "Psyllium husk":http://feralboy.com/log/archives/000543/? It's a great poem.... "for me to poop on":http://www.d-rock.net/poop/poop.php?url=feralboy.com/log/! Anyway, my apologizes to Lauren's friends, but you've been somewhat "punk'd":http://www.mtv.com/onair/punkd/.
