When PJR is posting there's a good chance that he and I will be discussing literary topics (like the birth of written language in relation to Homeric Greece), and that the Donkey's much-spanked ass will get a much-needed break.

Chia Pete had a habit of pissing people off by pretending that he was their "better," while reciting nonsensical poems like:


Oops ama has'sum spee'n poo poo imi didee;
oops ama has'sum stinki phew.

Klap trap. Klap trap. Klap trap Haddock and docks
the cold unspeaking stars walk shoddy-sleeved
And you watched me as a deep blue slug,
Phew phoohey! Pew pheweewôoey ding dong sore.

Oops ama has'sum spee'n poo poo imi didee;
oops ama has'sum stinki phew.
