4. Was Robert Graves a great poet?
What about Stevie Smith? Is Sylvia Plath considered great, or is her stock high because of her suicide?

6. No.
Stevie Smith I know nothing about. Plath's stock is undoubtedly higher because of the suicide but I do like some of her stuff, especially "Ariel."

Eatin' the men like air,

22. Ariel made me suicidal
I liked it, but I needed a support system while I was reading it.

12. Someone other than Bush!
Whether that other person actually becomes President is of course a matter of uncertainty now.

10. Do you like Bullwinkle or Green Acres?
I'm trying to build a knowledge base for each, one fact at a time, right here on DU. It entertained me for most of the morning.

Never seen either.

18. Damn, I can't remember...
What is this "toaster" of which you speak, earthling? Will it help us win the Xephon War on Omicron-seti 3?


Damn, where IS that quote from....?

14. Do you think an English major is a good idea?
I've just changed from psychology to English. Psychology was going to require 4 years of grad school and about $70,000 in debt and, besides, I don't think I have the personality for it. I like to read and write so I decided to go with the English major with hopes for a cushy office job when I am through. What do you think?

16. Yes!
More people should be English majors. Knowing how to write gives you tremendous power, because not many people in this country do, really.

25. We met in college
First time we met, actually, was at a gay/straight rap during our university's gay awareness days thingy. However, we didn't see each other again, really, until a year later when we ended up in the same dorm.

Getting together was a very long process, as we are both cerebral people and I had been under the impression that I was straight until that point.

Congratulations on the upcoming anniversary! Every journey starts with a single step, as they say,
