FLUXLIST: fluxish doubles
hehe allen, this reminded me of a time in the mid-70s when i was visiting at richard heyman's in spring street. (he was doing dreamscape, EAR magazine and new wildnerness activities with charlie morrow at that time, among other things.) he and some friends had recently bought the bar downstairs, painting over the curly bits on the 'B' of the neon 'BAR' sign so that it now proclaimed itself as 'EAR' - EAR Inn. alone in the flat, i answered the phone. a woman asked for richard heyman and i replied he was downstairs tending bar and could i take a message. after some silence she replied, 'yes, tell him the alterations are finished and his tuxedo is ready. if he'd like it can be sent to him by messenger'. sometime later i relayed the message, seeing nothing amiss in the idea of tuxedo alterations. one never knows what a performance will entail nez pas. i relayed the message which was received strangely enough. it wasn't until a later time that i learned of the Other richard heyman, chef d'orchestre, also living in manhattan, and the occasional namesake gaffes. i've no idea what happened to the tuxedo. i pause and wonder: did the Other richard heyman ever experienced the joyous dissonances of an ocarina orchestra? -- allen bukoff writes : Noticed an unusually large number of web visitors to the fluxus portal page www.fluxus.org today (2,428 vs. daily average of 61 hits).

Rod Stasick [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Ohhh, Goodness! Fanny is something VERY different in England dear. Rumpole of the Stiltskin -- ah yes, the Fannies - we take it you refer to the illustrious First Aid Nursing Yeomanry nez pas bailie of the wick -- A panda walks into a pub, sits down, orders a sandwich and beer. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter. As the panda stands up to go, the publican cries out, Ey! Where 'yer goin'? Y' just shot my waiter an' y' didn' pay y' meal The panda cooly replies, Listen, my friend: I'm a PANDA! Look it up! and is gone. So the publican reaches under the bar for the dictionary he keeps by the taps and reads the following definition for panda: A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterised by distinct black and white colouring.

pez writes: m, this is a human problem to deale behind the stone budhas heiko writes: Yeah. But this seems to be much the same in all traditional arab countries, including Saudi Arabia etc.. Maybe it is different in Lybia. -- hallo heiko, the stone buddhas taliban government (were)/are in afghanistan; not an arab country. there is a teaching broadly called muslim and broadly referred to as sh'aria law. this is what has been invoked as justification for a broad range of laws on how-to-behave. some of these behavioural codes, if conditions are 'right', make it downright dangerous to be alive. the thingie is, however, these are so-called laws are based on oral traditions (pre-muslim for the most part), that are not necessarily stable and which differ from region to region, let alone country to country and do not exist anywhere in written holy texts, the koran, for example. the canadian muslim congess, along with Other inter/national muslim agencies, has condemned 'honour' killings and other manipulations of sh'aria. 'honour' killings, of course, have histories in many parts of the world outside muslim influence. what you refer to is a type of 'right-wing' fundamentalism not restricted to geographic regions or religious groups. it's amazing what gets carried along the trade routes nez pas. christian fundamentalism is also based on an oral tradition [teaching = interpretation] with regional variation, rather than a +/- uniform bestseller [king james bible for example] and currently very dangerous to a large segment of the world's population. why, some of my best friends and/or ancestors are responsable for the destruction of entire cultures, not to mention cultural and religious artefacts, artworks, c. the history behind the followers of the Generalised Deity of the Westernised (GDW) is rife with the stuff. i will hasard to say that one mightn't have successfully planned Strategies in the third reich based on hitler being a vegetarian nez pas. i'll even dare to suggest that the history of buddhism and the different orders is rife with left/right wing political struggles and fundamentalism. yes, there are right wing buddhists and massacring vegetarians out there. having said all that, i love what Kathy Forer wrote: ' It's quite poignant how the absence of the Buddhas is nearly as powerful as was their presence.' the truth is not out there, but to as derrida might say, literature is. mit einem freundlichen cheerio, marshalore -
