antidote

evidence
whores and great poets should
avoid one another:
their professions are dangerously
similar:
from the Roman Empire to our
Atomic Age
there have been about an equal
number of whores and
poets
with the authorities continually
trying to outlaw
the former
and ignore the latter
—which tells you
how dangerous
poetry
really
is.

Charles Bukowski


Mikkel's right -- this blog is on nerd high alert this morning -- so I thought we could use a little relief.

Except... wait... poetry just makes me more of a nerd, doesn't it?

G*dd*mmit.

you're a nerd of the highest order.

That means you're a really, really good nerd.
