There was me, that is BP, and my three droogs, that is Chaumel, Hussy, and Voldemort, Voldemort being really swell, and we sat in the Goland Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Goland Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brother, have forgotten what these mestos were like things changing so skorry these days and everybody very quick to forget, bar rumours not being heard much neither. Well, what they sold there was milk plus something else. They had no license for selling liquor, but there was no law yet against prodding some of the new veshches which they would put into the old moloko, so you could peet it with vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom or one or two other veshches which would give you a nice quiet horrorshow fifteen minutes admiring Ajora And All His Zodiac Braves in your left shoe with lights bursting all over your mozg. Or you could peet it with knives in it, as we use to say, and this would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of dirty twenty-to-one, and that was what we were peeting this evening I'm starting off the story with.
Wall-o'-text hits you for 750 damage.
Verily, yonder bastard of the swale.

Was this an FFT form of the... (I want to say "Bandersnatch", but I'm pretty sure that's not the name of it.)
That old poen with Vorpal Blades, and Snicker-snacks, that starts with "Beware the ?Bandersnatch? my son..."?

Yes, it was Bandersnatch.
You even spelled it correctly, regardless of the lies Firefox wants you to think.

I had to memorize that poem and recite it once a week (perfectly) for ten weeks.
Never try to major in psychology people.
Damnit, dartpaul, thats my goal...
Also it is called Jabberwockey not bandersnatch.
Jabberwock! That's it.
You people are terrible. It's from A Clockwork Orange

What's it going to be then, eh?

Egad man, I haven't watched that movie in at least a decade.

I wouldn't call this crap
BP, have you read "The Wanting Seed" by Burgess? I liked it a lot. Very different from "A Clockwork Orange," but quite good. Interesting stuff about cycles of government and history. And cannibalism. Lots and lots of cannibalism.
I haven't, but now I want to. Thanks!
I'll probably bump it to the top of my to-read pile after I finish with my present addictions to Melville and Yeats.
Yeats? W.B. Yeats?
Yeah.
If I recall correctly, you live in Ireland, right? Whereabouts?
I used to live in Dublin, and it was something of a spiritual experience visiting Yeats' hometown, Sligo.
South-West. Kerry.
Poetry's not my thing. More of a novel and drama person. Last year we studied The Merchant of Venice, this year it's Hamlet. It's like going from cave paintings to Van Gogh.
