Sheesh, tuff
My vote for DAWG
merriest of quips
like flux martinis
I just returned from Sarasota where, when I wore my
yellow CRISPIN WEBB messenger bag into the corner bookstore on Main street, the
awfully and honeststly gorgeous young man selling the coffee asked, "Where did
you get that bag?" "At Cafepress on the web, " I replied. Are you familiar with
fluxus?" I asked. "Yes, " he said. He explained he was a student at
Ringling. We spoke a bit. I meant to ask, "Come, now, run away with me," but I
had to go to an activist meeting down the street.
Hope to catch up...

Home,
Wow Ann, you see right through me! How do you do
that? And you're so witty!
Should we give Ann the FLUXLIST best quip of the
day prize?

i would love to
know a little (a lot) more about this book...
sorry
about the delay-been gone- the book is called "Hiawatta witt
no odder poems" by Milt Gross-the book states he is the creator of Nize
Baby- it was printed in 1928- which is interesting since that was the
surrealism era-but I can't figure out if its influenced by that or not.
Dawg
Sounds more like it is influenced by Krazy Kat, or the
other humorous lit etc inspired by Yiddish and other immigrant accents.
Krazy has much the same utterly homey mamaloschen charm mixed with antic
wit.
