I guess in Oliver Wilde and Mark Twain’s time (of course today they’d never get published) what “President” KrapForWits is referring to was called something like “belles-lettres” or some shit like that. Well, maybe the modifier is a sign that they do possess, if not humor and most other human traits, at least some small sense of mercy. After all, they could have called them “Daily Poems” or “Hourly Poems,” but settled for “occasional,” probably to prevent those pain-in-the-ass “emotional trauma” and “aggravated assault” law suits…
Anyway, fuck all that. Petronius was hardly Nero’s favorite (though he had been before he fucked up by fucking the wrong harem girl or losing his liquor license or whatever the Emperor’s Official Orgy Arranger did to piss Nero off), yet who among his contemporaries, save Juvenal, is worthy of “today’s discriminating reader?” Well, Tacitus, I guess: the Walter Cronkite of the Roman Empire…
Tomorrow is our turn to throw a public left-hook to the jaw of Big Media.
By the way: we dumpstered hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of hummous, dip, pre-cut carrots and celery, 30 boxes of ripe cherries, and a veritable cornucopia of pastries…
Total spent on Seven bottles of Amazing wine (and one champagne): $61.00
Total spent on cheese, crackers, dip INSIDE Trader Joe’s: $21.50
