Sinister: Pantsocracy

[David Moore]

Big up all the slack arseholes on the Sinister list!

"All this village malarkey reminds me of an experiment formulated by top
fop
poets Worsdworth and Coleridge in, oh, about 1540 probably. They decided,
little
poetic scamps that they were, to up-sticks to America and start a new life
in a
simple self-sustaining village community: ...As it happens, they only got
as far as Wales, where they lived off the land for about 3 hours before
giving up ("Sod this for a game of
soldiers, Mr Wordsworth. Let's get lashed").

& I thought to myself, he must mean Coleridge & Southey, who laid plans to
form 'Pantisocracy' in Pennsylvania during the 1790's.


That'll be me for the village pedant, then, an activity I can subsidise
from my sales of infra-red binoculars to the Sini-pervs from my stall down
by the lake.
