<[caeb]> Is this the one you wrote on a bus and think is not all that good but are probably posting it anyway?
I think you're rather wrong about the no good part.


<[Brennen]> Yes.


<[Brennen]> (And hrm.)


<[Molly]> it's very very good.  


<[caeb]> Also I am glad to hear there's no such thing as spiders.


<[brennen]> I do what I can. (Re: Spiders.)

<[caeb]> Except kill them, I've noticed.


<[brennen]> Perhaps I've secretly taken a selective vow of nonviolence.


<[Brent]> I've gotten weird about the killing thing in the last few years.  Won't even kill a tick, now, unless a kid's freaking out about it.  (As was the case a few days ago.)

Agreed with caeb and Molly about this bit of poetry being ''quite'' good.


<[caeb]> I understand the hesitation with killing them, actually.  If the bastards don't sneak up on me I let them live sometimes.  But irrational fears and nonviolence are often hard to reconcile.
And, dude, your selective nonviolence vow is not so much a secret, as it is... HIGHLY selective.  You still eat cows after all, Mr. Cognitive Dissonance.  


<[brennen]> Well.

I mean.

But cows taste good?


<[caeb]> Some cultures say the same of spiders.
(Although I think maybe I'm walking the wrong way with this...)


<[Brennen]> I was going to say - are you sure you want to go down that path?


<[caeb]> Am I ever?


<[caeb]> And does that ever stop me?
