: : : The question is, "If your butt makes noise in the middle of the forest, and nobody is around, does anyone still fear it?"
: : yes. all sentient beings fear my butt at all times for our pook's sweet sake.
: : : Who is sweet Pook?
: : ah, pook, the destroyer.
: : a character arising out of a piece written by william burroughs. topic: the atomic bomb and the ugly american, death and time. one of the best things i've ever heard.
: : "why does death need time?"
: : "death needs time for what it kills to grow in for our pook's sweet sake."
: : i think Pook is metaphorical for the atomic bomb, but might also represent death more generically. a kind of god of death for the atomic age you could say.

: PLEASE, MAY I HAVE MORE WILLIAM BURROUGHS, SIR?
: I used to have something of his on CD I believe, at least I remember something like that in the foggy recesses of my faultily wired synapses. Anyway if I did it might have grown legs cause I haven't seen it in a while or maybe I'm thinking of another William Burroughs fan...
: There's so many!
I used to HATE William Burroughs. Now I'm not apt to say that. I have read about four of his books. I couldn't remember them now as more than blurs, but I do recall some feelings and images. Overall, I am NOT a huge Burroughs fan, but I am starting to see something in his work since I quit bashing him so much. I most likely will never be a fan. Just ask Johns Sexton and Vaughan what my earlier opinions on him were.
