V For Vendetta - V's Famous V Speech

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

Not only alliteration, but iambic pentameter too (mostly).

Dell don't tell jokes!

I saw Michael Dell a couple of days ago give a talk and do an interview at Suntec City. The classic moment?
When some guy from HDB admitted, during question time, to the fact that he receives and sends jokes by email at work. He then asked Michael Dell to tell him a joke, presumably so he could send it to all his mates and say, 'here's a joke Michael Dell told me'. Tosser. Actually, it was amazingly stupid. The event was organised by the IDA and had all sorts of high level government and business heavyweights. I reckon he'll be hunted down.

Anyway, I'm glad someone else who was there feels the same way. Click me for Singapore Life and Times

This is particularly significant now, since they're now re-publishing On The Road in its full un-edited form (according to the Boston Globe). I can't give you the link, cos the Boston Globe have just pulled the story from their public site (members only now).

Ah... here's a link

Spam poetry

I get a lot of spam, that I block with Mailwasher pro. Most of it I delete instantly. But this one caught my eye. It had a Beat Poetry quality (and a bit of Shelley). So I editted it (punctuation mostly). Here it is:

Outfitted at San Diego and came over the mountain trail through El Campo,
Why had Dismukes been compelled to come back to the desert?
If he had any selfishness in his great heart, it had been to gloat over the lonely places by himself.
‘I got to have a name for throwin’ gold around.’
He watched burros and driver grow larger and clearer.
Adam always asked for news of Charley Jim, usually to be disappointed.
Even as Adam looked, the condor pitched off the crag and spread his enormous wings.
Nevertheless, Adam could never be sure in his heart that Dismukes would find what he sought.
Nevertheless, Adam could never be sure in his heart that Dismukes would find what he sought.
Even as Adam looked, the condor pitched off the crag and spread his enormous wings.
They were certainly not actuated by a feeling for some nameless thing. Those words of child wisdom sowed in Adam the seed of a terrible revolt.
Dismukes had, or imagined he had, the need to seek gold.
‘I go to Death Valley’, he continued, slowly, in his deep voice.
‘That New York is as near hell as I ever got.’
Never, in all the years, had this rapture faded.
‘I didn’t build the church or set out a park for the village of my boyhood.’
‘Comrade, take the story of my life to heart’, added Dismukes. ‘I got to have a name for throwin’ gold around.’
Beyond the oasis, some distance up the canyon, was a dense growth of mesquite and other brush.
‘All this travel idea, seein’ and learnin’ an doin’ changed so that it was hateful.’

It was spam. Spam poetry. Not bad actually.
