Obviously.

I Hate Swimming

I am barefoot
and the pavement burns
my pale soles.
I begin to shuffle
first to the left
then, right.
Holding each
until I can no longer stand
without wobble.
I would seek shelter
but, that would find
me leaving you
alone, again.
And, I can’t.
Won’t.
Your willful eyes
and your exuberance
stand with me.
I am here
to brave the burn.





p.s. all that stuff about going blind is a lie.

MAYO IS NUMBER 1!

ergoproxy said...

oh yay smoke!!

*happy Mayo dance*

anima said...

*pets SS Phantom Kitty, wherever you are*

I miss Mustard too. ♥ Where's Fimblelina?

sdock10 said...

Mayo you got shoved out of the top spot by a slightly "special" cat who sorta is named after you.

How does that make you feel?

A little weird, I'd guess.

Anonymous said...

Whooohoo! MEOW!!!

sdock10 said...

Fimmy is somewhere in England, I'm guessing in a pub, drinking some bears, and driving the boys crazy.

Smoke said...

Oh, Phantom is here!

They are kind of special. O_o

anima said...

Oh and yes, please come out and visit me!!!! I would love you forever and ever. (well, I already do, so...)




Mayo likes to be number 1 and on top...I have a feeling. ;)

sdock10 said...

Smoke,

Can we go see Anima? Can we please? Please?

Smoke said...

Ummm, hellz yeah!

sdock10 said...

Smoke,

Please repost the pic of the "special" kitties again. I need to show Mama so she can put a face to the name.

Bwah!

I suppose Bryar is MIA.

anima said...

Did I just say that?!
Where the hell did that come from?!

Sorry Mayo, my bad.

Fim's in England at the pubs?! No fair!

sdock10 said...

She's definitely in England. I'm just guessing about the pubs. I miss talking to her on a daily basis.

:(

Smoke said...

Da Speshul Kittehs

Muwahaha.

anima said...

Yell yes. You chickies are coming up to visit me next year! And if I go visit my brother in Florida (not sure when), I will swing by to say hi and hit up Fimmy. For sure!

anima said...

Awww, those are very special kitties! I like the ass lean. Too cute. Animals rule.

ergoproxy said...

anima!! I'm shocked...well not really ;}

sdock10 said...

Sounds like a great plan, Anima. I have a feeling there are going to be lots of shows that Smoke and I will get to go see so I can't wait to see what the next year is going to hit us with.

Ludo, The Killers, TBS, The Used....awesomeness!

sdock10 said...

Smoke,

That pic just makes me laugh so hard. Those cats are crazy, crazy, crazy. You can see that little bit of wildness in their eyes.

But the way they just struck the pose for the camera is brilliant!

Smoke said...

I know right? They was Mayofeetz is like, "Feed me bitch!" and Phantom is all like, "What? What the hell are you looking at? I iz gonna run away! But I'll be back!"

Smoke said...

Wtf did I just say? O_O

OMG. I iz cezy.

Be back in a bit!

sdock10 said...

Well, I guess I am gonna go chill and prepare myself for the horror that will be Crossroads with Taylor Swift and Def Leppard.

Have a great night, guys!

Hi and bye Solly. Hi ergo, are you the only one here?

Hallo there Amy, if you're still around. Did you get lost in the tub last night? ^_^

ergoproxy said...

amy is having supper

and elena is here too

I think we have a storm coming

Amyranth said...

DAMN YOU CONFLICTING EDITS.

Amyranth said...

Okay, I really didn't think that would go through.

So, BC, I just went for a really long swim.

Also, I feel bad for that bunny.

Anonymous said...

Hey elena. I'm hanging in there, just making some tea.

How about you?

Amy, about the bunny, why?

elena said...

Been under the weather today, BC.

Okay that is really a weird saying, isn't it? "Under the weather"

ergoproxy said...

no wonder I felt like we had a storm coming!

Amyranth said...

BC, the bunny in the SKittles commercial. It was traded for a bag of skittles, when all it wanted was love.

You could FEEL it. :(

Amyranth said...

Ergo, that is the coolest thing I've seen so far tonight.

ergoproxy said...

thanks amy :]

I am about 2 inches down the coast from the point of Qld on the right

ergoproxy said...

there is a severe storm warning for the districts west of us

Amyranth said...

Just thunderstorms Ergo?

Do you get Monsoons or Pontoons or Typhoons?

Anonymous said...

I hope you feel better soon Elena. Amy, aww poor bunny. I haven't seen that commercial yet.

Ergo, is that storm heading your way? If it is, be careful.

elena said...

Thanks BC

How are you feeling?

ergoproxy said...

we have a monsoon season, we call it the wet which is starting now
and the worst storm is cyclone (which is a typhoon but anticlockwise) but they develop over the ocean
this is just good old summer thunder storm, hope it brings some rain

Anonymous said...

That bunny sure knows how to hold a tune.

ergoproxy said...

Elena, don't get sick.

Metaphor, Similie, Oxymoron, Onomatopoeia, sometimes I don't know how Mayo writes, and sometimes I don't get him.

ergoproxy, the chatter here (not at this precise moment), would seem to prove otherwise.

Oh I don't know about that anon.

I think most of us got that, really we did.

It's always interesting to read Mayo's words and run with them.

So many different ways to look at what he writes.

ergoproxy said...

I felt it was saying anon, he is willing to stand by someone or something despite the fact it may hurt, and that he hasn't always done that in the past

ergoproxy said...

but to talk about swimming is fun and I know Mayo likes to inspire thoughts and memories of all kinds and I'm sure he enjoys seeing where his posts take people in their own minds

So, let me get this straight - when you are given a poem with metaphorical meaning, you instead decide to discuss the shallow meaning at the surface?

Why?

Anon 4:55, of course she does but she will just lie. Why do you think they all posted their Leathermouth reviews here? For Frank to see.

November 7, 2008 5:00 PM

Why do you think they all added Leathermouth to their favorite music on their profiles? They would never have listened to a band like Leathermouth if Frank Iero wasn't in the band. Didn't even know about the genre of music. Yet some of them have no problems calling people who still like the music of MCR Gerard fangirls. Amusing and interesting.

I wonder if Frank is going to get called all the names Gerard was called
by the people here who accused GW of being those things? You know
racist
pedophile
bigot
sexist
liar

Prolly not.

Amyranth said...

10:38, I haven't shared my thoughts on one of Mayo's posts for a long time. I like coming up with my own meaning, and keeping it to myself because then nobody can tell me whether I'm right or wrong.

Besides, sometimes what strikes me as "the meaning" isn't always something I can put into words.

But that's what's precious to me, is that feeling. I guess I'm selfish.

Anonymous said...

That would be silly of them. The meaning of all art forms is subjective and changes from person to person.

My guess is that the P.S. at the end of the poem is the clue to the whole piece.

You?

I have no idea why you continue to harass these good people.

If your intention is to provoke some rock-star, you need to look elsewhere.


I know that there are so many out there who would welcome the attention.

Or, you could turn your energy towards something a little more positive.

For instance, you could masturbate. Not only would that kill some time, but it could improve your demeanor, substantially.

The comments never directly called him a pedophile or racist (sexist, maybe, I'll give you that), it was more like guilty by association - that his behavior had proven he had turned away from working for people and social issues, not that he had directly BECOME bigoted himself.

There's also Orgy's Stitches.

Stitch up my emptiness,
'Cause you're the death of me.

Was just about to head to bed because: early, long, pimportant day tomorrow and I want to sleep lots and lots.

But I refreshed and the current conversation reminded me of a web page listing all the vulgar and euphemistic ways of describing masturbation. That one is for dudes. There's another one for ladies.


Assault on a friendly weapon
Badgering the witness
Calling down for more Mayo
(I swear that is listed there!)
Cheating on your other hand
Dancing round the maypole
Giving yourself a dishonorable discharge
Keeping the Optometrists in business
(LMAO)
Manual override
Organ solo
Polishing the Pope
Raising Stonehenge
Reading poetry
(O_O)
Sex with someone you really love
Shooting for the moon
Spackling the ceiling
Spreading the mayo

(SRSLY U GUISE.)

Spurtin' Bert (O_O)
Staff meeting
Target practice with the yogurt gun
Throwing the hamster against the wall
Visiting Old Faithful
Waxing the dolphin
Yank my Doodle (It's a Dandy)

When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling

When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling

Once while climbing the garden wall,
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing,
But I held on to My ding-a-ling

Once while swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling

Now this here song it ain't so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling
