EvilCaliGrl says, "hi"
somethingunusual says, "hello"
somethingunusual has a complex conversation with himself.
somethingunusual bravely gags himself, ignoring nipped fingers and frantic squawking.
EvilCaliGrl asks, "we are suposed to talk about poetry, alright who read it?"
somethingunusual says, "well what poem are we talking about"
Vanem says, "not sure."
papertiger says, "slips on a banana peel and falls on his ass"
somethingunusual stands up and curses out metaphoric cockatoos.
somethingunusual rides a large pink elephant across the room, stops to feed it a peanut, then clambers off.
Vanem says, "all these poems are all easy to read."
EvilCaliGrl says, "it is that hand out"
somethingunusual says, "ohhh"
papertiger says, " and a monkey rides its back"
somethingunusual asks, "what?"
+---------------------------------------+
EvilCaliGrl holds up a big sign: | Sasson |
+---------------------------------------+
papertiger says, "sasson"
somethingunusual finally recovers from the effects of his poison.
somethingunusual says, "ok sasson"
Cowtippin'Fool says, "it rhymes "
somethingunusual tries futilely to @recycle #1.
Vanem says, "I thought that they were much easier to read then Owens"
Vanem says, "yes it does"
EvilCaliGrl asks, "i read to any dead officer. what do you think about it?"
somethingunusual says, "i only read the suicide one"
somethingunusual finally recovers from the effects of his poison.
EvilCaliGrl says, "oh"
papertiger says, "ummm"
Leonard asks, "is this wineter?"
Vanem says, "sasson is different"
Cowtippin'Fool says, "i hope so"
somethingunusual says, "yeah"
EvilCaliGrl says, "alright then i will read that one"
Vanem says, "yes"
Leonard says, "ok"
Leonard asks, "so what are we talking about again?"
Vanem says, "to any dead officer was good"
papertiger says, "i liked it"
somethingunusual says, "yeah it is good"
Vanem says, "yeah it was good."
Leonard says, "yup"
Cowtippin'Fool says, "i concur"
somethingunusual says, "so...what about it"
papertiger asks, "it paints a good picture right?"
Vanem asks, "concur huh? why?"
EvilCaliGrl says, "hey i wonder if that suicide guy did it in front of everyone"
Vanem says, "I dunno"
somethingunusual says, "i dont think it says but im here he did if it was in ww1"
somethingunusual says, "u couldnt be alone in those times"
Vanem says, "true. In WWI nothing was hidden from anyone."
EvilCaliGrl asks, "That would just add to the horrableness of the conditions. Is that a word? horrableness?"
somethingunusual says, "no lol"
Leonard asks, "so we are just discussing the poem, right?"
Vanem says, "so chances are it happened infront of everyone around"
somethingunusual asks, "what are we suppose to talk about exactly?"
EvilCaliGrl says, "Gross"
EvilCaliGrl says, "we are talking about the sassoon poems"
somethingunusual says, "ya i know but what about"
Leonard says, "right"

EvilCaliGrl says, "what you think of them"
Vanem says, "what you think about them."
somethingunusual says, "i think the suicide one accurately talks about the way people felt in the war"
somethingunusual says, "of course not everyone would kill themselves..."
Vanem says, "i agree. "
somethingunusual says, "im sure many thought about it"
Leonard says, "yup"
Cowtippin'Fool asks, "this typing stuff is a little bit too much for me. why can't we just get into groups and actually talk about it?"
EvilCaliGrl says, "I agrre. it must of been so hard that some people felt that suicide was the only option"
somethingunusual says, "because that is bad thinking and we cant have any bad thinking around here"
somethingunusual says, "ya, world war one sure was a bad one"
Vanem says, "for sure. Life would ahve sucked in the war"
Leonard says, "yup"
somethingunusual says, "yup"
Vanem says, "yep yeu yep"
somethingunusual says, "haha, are we talking about all 4 poems"
Leonard says, "dunno"
Vanem says, "eventually"
somethingunusual says, "alright"
papertiger says, " i think the horrors of war were to much for this boy and he saw killing himself an easy way out of this "hell" of a situation"
EvilCaliGrl asks, "what do you guys think about Glory of wemon? do you think it is praising the weman who are at home hoping for the best, or showing the as nieve to the things that go on in war?"
somethingunusual says, "i dont thjink its praising them"
EvilCaliGrl says, "sorry i can't spell today"
somethingunusual says, "thats for sure"
EvilCaliGrl says, "thanx"
papertiger says, "a lot of boys in ww1 were young and there eyes were never exsposed to this type of evil"
papertiger says, "it was a lot to bare"
somethingunusual says, "i didnt get a happy impression towards people who werent in the war when i read that one"
Leonard says, "uh huh"
Vanem says, "I think that the poem is mixing the ideas"
somethingunusual asks, "are you talking about the suicide one?"
Vanem says, "I think it is praising in one way but at the same time not"
EvilCaliGrl says, "i agree"
somethingunusual says, "the part that they are talking about the cheers is to make the reader realize that they are being ignorant"
Vanem says, "maybe"
Leonard says, "maybe"
Vanem says, "yeah maybe"
EvilCaliGrl says, "i think the last few lines are a way of mocking them"
Vanem says, "yeah in a way it is showing them in a not so good light"
somethingunusual says, "thats exactly what i said"
somethingunusual exclaims, "!!!"
somethingunusual says, "that they are ignorant"
Vanem says, "sure"
somethingunusual says, "im done with my thoughts"
EvilCaliGrl says, "me too"
Vanem says, "over all they were good adn easy to read"
papertiger says, "bye"
