The Gwampy Thread

[Lord of 13]

1984 was pretty depressing, but good enough. War of the Worlds wasn't, in my eyes. The Count of Monte Cristo - I'm reading a translated version, and so I don't know if I can really judge it. Classic, BTW, is different from good writing. Classic means a certain element that makes the book memorable and a must-read, not necessarily good writing.

[Eel-finn]

How is it a classic, if it's written poorly? There can be no discussion. Classics = Awesome writing.

 

And how can you not like War of the Worlds? Changed people's perception of life from other worlds.

I like bean soup...if it has salt.

[Eel-finn]

Most soups contain salt... o.O

[Lord of 13]

*sigh* Classics are considered classical not necessarily for good writing; you yourself gave evidence for War of the Worlds. Now, I'm not saying it's bad, but that it isn't good enough to rank with my all-stars.

[Anoxanmore]

Tolkien is bad.

[Lord of 13]

*nods in a rare moment of accord with Anox*

[Anoxanmore]

Like... really, really bad.

[GrandpaG]

* looks around *

Is Tolkien a spammer of Fiddlesticks?

* doesn't remember seeing him/her logged on here before *

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes.

I'm being silly.

;)

[Anoxanmore]

Yes you are GG and we love you.

[Guest BaLefireP]

;D

[Anoxanmore]

Boopsy? :P

[Lord of 13]

*whacks Bale upside the head*

[GrandpaG]

Happy Saturday Night!

Home.

Alone.

Spamming Fiddles.

Yeah!

:-\

[Anoxanmore]

Grandpa did you ever say what happened to your ex?

[GrandpaG]

No, I don't believe the subject ever came up...why would anybody care about something that happened over 40 years ago?  ::)  That's the only ex that I have.  Been married for 36+ years to this wife.  The ex was just a girlfriend that wasn't meant to be.  I'm over it now.  But thanks for asking.  ;D

[Anoxanmore]

I was just curious :)

[GrandpaG]

Good thing you're not a cat!  :o

;D

[Anoxanmore]

I wouldn't want to be a cat. :)

[Eel-finn]

You're right. Being a fox is much cooler :P

[Anoxanmore]

Depends on the fox :)

[GrandpaG]

Matt likes his fox.

[Eel-finn]

Yes he does ;)

[Anoxanmore]

Matt likes his Raven too... ::)

[Eel-finn]

Aww. That was cute!
