I've been trying to get back into poetry a bit, being reminded of Yeats' famous poem The Second Coming these past few days... any recs?

Feels more like Hopkins.

Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend 

With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just. 

Why do sinners’ ways prosper? and why must 

Disappointment all I endeavour end? 

Wert thou my enemy, O thou my friend, 

How wouldst thou worse, I wonder, than thou dost 

Defeat, thwart me? Oh, the sots and thralls of lust 

Do in spare hours more thrive than I that spend, 

Sir, life upon thy cause. 

When do we get to read some of your lyricism?

Dude! Stretch was droppin' rhymes way back in the day! He was on Ice T's OG album. He was set to put his own album out in '92, but the man held him down. Some of us lucky ones still have the pirated tapes. It was called "Marshmallow Slim OCM". OCM stood for Original Con Man but wasn't exactly what you first think of. It actually was short for Original Connecticut Man, but the label wanted it more greasy, so they shortened it and put him on the cover. He looked a bit different back in the day...

The Neon Icon himself. I didn't know Stretch was Tip Toewin' in his Jawdinnz.

Poppin' and lockin' baby!

Wait, that dudes for real? He's worth $6,000,000? 

I thought it was just some goofy pic, never heard of Riff Raff. I'm in the wrong business.

@MexicanDragon what has it been like for you these past few days? Can't imagine good things with articles like this: http://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/16/tennessee-lawmaker-facebook-post-robert-e-lees-battle-flag-symbol-freedom/574774001/

I am the whitest Mexican in existence, other than my daughter.

So far, not horrible for me. There is a March in the park tonight near my house. People have talked about arming themselves. (Illegal in this park.) Tempted to go take pics.

These last words are almost as popular in the South as... "Hey Bubba, watch this"!

Stay safe, Brent. You may identify with being white but these white supremacist shitbags are even getting DNA tests, which ironically prove that they are not as white as they think they are.

I have a friend who tests at 99.6% Northern European. I should ask him along.

Did you buy a Galet, Stretch?  That micro-rotor is so sexy.

I wish! It was just meant as a palate cleanser. [emoji6]

Well, it worked!

What is the most embarrassing pic you have where you are wearing a nice watch?  I bet I win.  

How is that embarrassing?

Bad beards and ill-fitting plaid shirts are embarrassing, in my opinion.  Especially when the person with both thinks they are "cool."

Edited August 23, 20178 yr by EdipisReks1

it's just a casual photo, shrug. I promise I'm in more embarrassing photos, and I post them on facebook regularly.

But do they include a nice watch?  If not, you're just shitting on me, and the photo that I recently found, for no reason.  

Hip-hip-hooray, I guess. You're the man now dog.  Roll something-or-other.

That picture is almost 12 years old, and I thought it was funny; the watches thread hasn't had a lot of watch related content, lately.  You be you, Dan. 

Edited August 23, 20178 yr by EdipisReks1

ok, take it as a negative that I don't think you should be embarrassed by a photo of yourself.

You be you, Dan. 

Actually, this seems like classic Jacob being Jacob. 

That was two-thirds of the point. And most of why it was funny and embarrassing.
