ABELARD AND HELOISE, MODERNIZED! was Ed Dolan the Great & Marika
ABELARD AND HELOISE, MODERNIZED!
Hey, Tommy, before you take up Ed Dolan's generous offer to fix you up, you might consider what love cost Abelard, not to mention what is often overlooked by (male) commentators, that Heloise got locked up in a nunnery, a sort of unisex prison without MTV, even. Andre Jute Thank you for the Latin and the Greek, Mr Bosman On Nov 29, 8:58*pm, "Edward Dolan" wrote: Ed Dolan the Great wishes to announce that no matter how much Marika might wish it, we can never be lovers. Ed Dolan the Great is also a Great Saint and has taken vows of chastity. Like all Great Saints, Saint Edward the Great is only concerned with Purity of Essence and Precious Bodily Fluids.. He spends all of his time perched on a high mountain top like a lone eagle gazing into the ether and has no time for female frivolities. I urge Marika to look elsewhere for her true love. I would recommend Tom Sherman of ARBR for her. He is a civil engineer, unmarried and is as rich as Croesus. He is a mature soul and knows more about recumbents than anyone this side of Robert Bryant, the former editor of RCN. He is not Great like Ed Dolan the Great of course and, needless to say, he is not a Great Saint like Saint Edward the Great, but no matter. He is more than good enough for lowly little Marika.

First of all there is this sensitive love story, which a great big manly cyclist might find far, far too soppy.

"marika" wrote in message ... "Michael Press" wrote in message [...] John Le Carre is a miserable coot. I read a few of his books: always misery and suffering and cruelty. Not a laugh in him. too true too true. Spy novels never were my favored genre either. I do not like humor mixed in with drama. It ruins most of Shakespeare for me. Either do one or the other, but NEVER leaven drama with humor. If you can't take drama unleavened, then just read comic books like 12 year olds do.

It died several generations ago in case you hadn't noticed. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Either do one or the other, but NEVER leaven drama with humor. If you can't take drama unleavened, then just read comic books like 12 year olds do. Comedy makes tragedy more poignant. Remember the film story: Harry And Tonto? John Steinbeck came up with some beauties in his Cannery Row and Tortilla Flats. Not bad, for a non-Irish writer. Even venerable Homer intermingled a little comedy with tragedy in his epics, and it worked. More or less. Anyways, I think with Marika you've crossed swords with a Russian dominatrix. I'd watch my step if I were you. Else you might find yourself being led by the ear to somwhere you don't wanna go. Note I'm not suggesting you back down -- perish the thought. Please do carry on and spend your limited, remaining hours of life in whatever manner you see fit. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |
