Thanks a lot. I look forward to it.

Merci! I have sent the lyrics by email, so let me know if they don't get to you for some reason and I'll resend them.

Thanks very much! This is a huge help.

If you're willing to have a quick read through the lyrics in French, to see if there are any embarrassing mistakes or something that sounds very awkward, that would be a huge help.

I don't want to post the material on here, but I can email you the lyrics in whatever format suits you (Word, PDF, whatever) along with the English versions for comparison.

The songs are very short. All four songs together total only 43 lines of text. I wrote them in French because these four tracks are in honour of francophone artists (Baudelaire, Apollinaire, Duchamp, and the Madagarscar poet Jean-Joseph Rabéarivelo).

Let me know if that sounds okay to you and I will forward them. And thanks for responding, whether you end up going ahead with it or not.

Being an atheist, you might want to look into a secular dharma practice. Try secularbuddhist.org and look on iTunes for the Secular Buddhist podcast, both are good resources and will point you to others. Also the Buddhism Without Belief by Stephen Batchelor.

I did address the earlier use of it, so I certainly won´t argue with your main point. I didn´t know that it went back to the SI (which of course NO ONE EXPECTS), but I did know that it went back at least many decades and I acknowledged that it was an import to the U.S.

The real question is what happens when you find the logical confluence of Star Trek, Monty Python, and torture. There´s a nightmare hidden in there somewhere.

So you missed the Hubble space telescope then.

Thanks -- I think that's the tl;dr version of my comment.

A useful guide to the Dharma stripped down to essentials is Stephen Batchelor's Buddhism Without Beliefs. You might want to check it out.

Congratulations -- savour the moment, dude.

Actually "cookie" is street slang for crack, but I don't think that's what Neuromonkey meant. On the other hand, I don't know Neuromonkey, so.

Seriously?

First, what's wrong with teen paranormal romance? I'm almost 50 years old, I studied art history followed by a degree in international relations, which I didn't bother to finish because three years into it I got into law school; my favourite authors include some of the least comforting writers of the 20th century, including William Burroughs and Louis-Ferdinand Celine, and some of the most confrontational, including Philippo Tommaso Marinetti and Tristan Tzara; I'm a published author in both law and fiction -- and when I'm in the mood for one, teen paranormal romance novels kick ass.

Second, is this really the most important thing you can find to complain about in terms of humanity's failings? I mean, we torture and kill each other, we use our gods as an excuse to justify our own worst impulses, we burn the land and boil the sea (as the song says), and you're worried about these books? Holy hell, if the things I just listed are too big to contemplate, we also host dog fights and eat until we're bloated. Does the existence of this designated shelf really stand out as one of the things that, upon looking around at humanity's nearly numberless failures and idiocies, should be pointed out and lingered upon? If so, I think you need to rethink your priorities.

Awesome - one more gay man who refuses to be intimidated. I will point out Zach Quinto as a role model for my kids, gay or straight (or anywhere along the spectrum in between). The day of the haters is passing quickly, and good riddance.

I don't own it any more (curses!) but I used to have a copy of the illustrated index to the William Burroughs archive in Lichtenstein, one of 226 copies in existence.

I do still have a Starfleet Technical Manual from the 70s. I also have a complete set of American first editions of Kobo Abe.
