Sinister: sweet riots

I think Megan is trying to bait me with this statement; I tried to resist
replying, for, oh, five whole minutes, but I am weak.

Oh Megan, there are just too many ways to reply.  You have sent me on smart
comment overload.  I realize this was your entire plan from the beginning.    

Anyone else recall bombs that go POP!?  I was thinking of setting some to
battle the rise of cynicism, but what does one put in that sort of bomb?
Sarah singles would just become pieces of candy-coated shrapnel, and Pastel
badges have pins.  Lemon curd?  I was planning on sitting in the cafe with my
tea and chocolate watching these bearers of inspiration and soul being
exploded.  I suppose there are other means to this goal.  

As for DH Lawrence, he is one of my favorite comic novelists.  His despair and
hopelessness is hilarious, especially after writing the same "industrial world
bad, let's achieve new eden" themes over and over.  I like in _Women In Love_
the discussion about plant reproductive systems and ways of learning that goes
on before the class of little ones.  And who can forget the men wrestling
naked in front of the fire...   That said, his short stories are much better
because he is limited by their size.  James Joyce is hilarious too.  I used to
get odd looks in class when I mentioned how humorous these books are.  So
spurned by literature I had to turn to art history as a major.
