The Secret Society of Roasters
These mystery men of herb connesuirs use powers unlocked from their minds to covertly and overtly (undecided on which) control the planet. Some say this exclusive group is made up of the world's elite, hence their need for secrecy. Others say noone knows who they are because they are not persons of significance. Join us as we uncover their mysterious history and the techniques they use to make 'fragmented hyper-colours flow free-form into the brain', as the kids at the local discos nowadays say.

u idiot mr danes nuthing wrong with mo hawks mundine may have won the fight but he is a dick head unlike danny green
Who is this Dan Green you speak of? Was that the chump who got his ass handed to him by the Man? Booyakacha!
Mundine would never beat Van Damn in Bloodsport, he was too harsh with the split punch.
And that was years before Johnny Cage.
"Dan, when did you come out of the surgery?"

Checking wikipedia about that.
I'm reading A Clockwork Orange at the moment, schooling myself in the ways of ultra-violence for young Turner's sake. It is pretty mad, the things with language and structure that Burgess does, like subbing in over 400 Russian/European words for English words in the text. You would think that this would make for a hard read, but it actually seems to read even easier. Another bonus of it is that it takes the edge of all the ultra-violence, as it is described in slang and foreign words, which does dull it down a bit.
Plus there are some meta-textual elements in it, not major, but that are just so well done, and may be the first to appear in fiction (I'm wildly guessing).
Also, doing a Morrison re-read as well. Currently working my way through Animal Man, and the Coyote Gospel really is one of the best things EVAR!!! Plus all of the meta-textual elements are starting to slip in now, until they build to that huge crescendo. Good times, good times.
After that, some Arkham Asylum (oh, shit yeah!) and then Doom Patrol. The 2nd volume of which introduces (yes child there is a Santa) the Brotherhood of Dada!!!! America: FUCK YEAH!!
Then onward to JLA, featuring Rock of Ages, One Million, Crisis Times Five, World War 3!!11!! As that weird porno, which destroyed Jayson Jaworski's mind, once fatefully said "It just don't get no better than this!"
Ask Jean about The Conspiracy of Art
Aunty Jean?
Baudrillard
'Freaky Jackson' is a conspiracy unto herself.
In Grant Morrison's "Here Comes Tomorrow" New X-Men story arc, it is revealed that the Phoenix consciousness accesses its human avatar, Jean Grey, through the crown chakra.
Indeed that is revealed. Through the Crown Chakra is how the Phoenixes enter the White Hot Room.
Or rather, from the White Hot Room, through the Crown Chakra, is how the Phoenix Corps manifests in their human avatars.
One of which being Quentin Quire, fucking Kid Omega! RIOT!!!1!!!
I am the creator of the earth you shall call me Mr B.I.G.
The world as you know it doesn't really exist as you see it, in fact in runs in the complete opposite direction as the say it does. Therefore you are actually getting younger as you get older because your inner energy is in fact returning to the gaia where tho came from!
Ever been In the Kingdom of Mescal
A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."
And the word for today children is
SUPERFLAT
As in the weird Manga art of Takashi Murakami? If so, there was a thing on telly about him, the group and the studio last night...
Also, Mr Danes, I downloaded the 12 issues of watchmen today, I love holidays... might start reading them soon.
Peace /
Who's watching the ssor?
It seems Stay Human is (watching), welcome back Kotter.
I caught that thing on Mirakami on Tuesday night ABC Art Safari, what a show. Except Kahn and Selesnick were a bunch of Dandy's the previous episode.
Are you Stay Human referring to a synchronicity in Japanese and Australian television by watching a similar show the day after?
Or are you keeping up to date with the Australian ABC?
Watchmen is pretty good Stay Human, but I'd rate V for Vendetta a touch better, in that it seems a bit more visceral and organic, not as densely structured as Watchmen is. What say you about V, Osiris?
Back off boogaloo,

Back of boogaloo,
What d'yer think i'm gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start.
Wake up, meat head,
Don't pretend that you are dead,
Get yourself up off the cart.
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty.
Ev'rything you try to do,
You know it sure sounds wasted.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo.
You think you're a groove,
Standing there in your wallpaper shoes
And your socks that match your eyes.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.

I say V was one of my greatest finds in that storehouse of treasures called the Midland Public library.
Undoubtedely grounded less in its formulation as watchmen is, V for Vendetta lets you drink sweet anarchy from its resplendant cup. In this readers opinion V for Vendetta spells E for Excellent, five stars.
no no no no still has it over back to boogaloo for me. Its something I envision uncle Bruce can get down to.
Speaking of which Davidstock is upon us once again with such names as Peter Stone, Bob? and ZACKY topping the bill.
Coming Peter?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_of_the_crown
When is Davidstock taking place? You know I'm down.
You tell lies thinking I can't see
You can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me
I'm down, I'm down, I''m down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happen every day
I'm down, I'm down, I''m down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
Dates are confirmed for the 25th of August
Spread it around
All are welcome
SSOR are encouraged to attend
Special guest appearance from Big Clive
Entry charge: Roast with Peter Stone
Tell Big Clive to brush up on his Kinks and I'll be there.
Wll Big Clive said:
I think I'm sophisticated
'Cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me everybody's multiplying
Till they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
'Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an ape man
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cos I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
Mr Sensitive you are a genius, the postmodern apocalypse has arrived.
If Big Clive sings Celluloid Heroes I will be a content man.
If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood
BTW, surely I'm at least at the Great Sage stage? "Time for some graffiti!"
