Allen Ginsberg is dead but his Howl still lives
The opening lines of Howl—too long to post it all here.
“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,…”
@Sooson 😆😆😆
@OhioMike and @waynewv -- THIS looks like a job for "SHOW US YOUR MUSCLES (Cars & Bikes) THREAD!!! My fella LOVED your respective BEASTS!!! Thanks for posting them!!!!
@TheFunCartel ~ I felt that.
@Fematheist check out my 500HP grocery getter but I decided I need a small one so I bought me a 200HP grocery getter. Fun little car and by the stats it’s safer then driving a Testa, at least the Pinto will not self ignite itself. lol.
confused as to howling at the moon posting became a car show---but I often find life confusing
@dennis22554 in your post you asked if we had any equivalents to your experience, My bad, I used a pic of one of my cars that peeps howl and woot woot at as I’m cruising down the road that make me laugh 🤣!
@dennis22554 As well I'm sure there are people confused why you post the things you do on a cuddle forum ...
I am confused and puzzled but it's all right. It doesn't affect me and if it did that would be on me. There seems to be enough people that like to respond.
@achetocuddle I have a thread about cheese and about being an asshole that both seem to be doing pretty well and even have crossover appeal, with people on the asshole thread alternately posting about cheese . So go figure
But cheese is good and being an asshole is fun, or so I gather from some people, lol. Totally playing & joking here.
Dennis, I often find life confusing too, no joke.
And at least it's not another boner thread
I do not want to see a crossover between a boner thread and an asshole thread.
What about a poops crossover ?
With boners, assholes, or cheese?
Either way, I'm thinking no.
Dang
^ This is all I can think of.
There are "people confused as to why I post what I do"---that's stating the obvious---warning: maybe I am evil as I intend to post --when ever the mood strikes
@dennis22554
warning: maybe I am evil as I intend to post --when ever the mood strikes
I think this belongs here:
@dennis22554 ~ Point taken. My Motorhead tendencies overcame my senses and I inadvertently derailed YOUR thread with my shenanigans!!!
I'll go start my own, and leave yours alone! lol
Exhibit A of a thread morphing into so many different things
@pmvines I'm glad you haven't gotten to Exhibit #2 yet.

Oh dear. What goes up must come down.
My boyfriend has a particular ability to find certain things unbearably funny, even years later or having heard/told the story many times, watched the scene over and over, etc. His giggle box gets knocked over like it was the very first time, and it's a beautiful thing to see. I wish I could experience such pure joy and laughter. It's like a high for him.
I just do my best to follow good comedians on YouTube to keep myself smiling. Lord knows we need it in this world of graphic horrible news and life's natural struggles.

You really don't give off that impression. Honestly truly.
Do you know anyone with brain damage? Anyone who has had a stroke? I do, and if your continuous put-downs and condescension is your idea of "feeling bad" for people who have already suffered so deeply, I wouldn't let you within shouting distance of them.
@WestsideMarc posted: "But you just can’t continue to injure other people’s brains and repeatedly agitate this community like this, post after post, month after month, it’s just not fair."
My brain isn't injured by anyone's posts on the internet. If that's the case for anyone here, I suggest they start a digital detox and evaluate some things.
@WestsideMarc posted: "And you’ve repeatedly mentioned your racist sounding dog breed too as the topper."
Sorry but Coonhounds are a category of dog breed. There is nothing wrong with @dennis22554 mentioning his dog like every other person.

If you want to take up against racism, I'm sure there are more impactful ways than getting mad at someone for naming their dog's official breed.
@WestsideMarc I'm not sure what upsets you so intensely about topics you don't think "belong" here. I have a guess but I won't diagnose, here.
You have attacked several members in PM, cussing them out and trying to bully them into not posting anymore, and it's clearly an ongoing issue for you.
We all see threads we don't care about, and we all likely have people on the board who rub us the wrong way. But we do not all react with condescending attempts to shame them into not posting threads, or irate PM's cussing them out.
I seriously encourage you to take a step away from the screen when you feel this anger come up, and ask yourself why it enrages you this way.
@SunsetSnuggles The racist dog name I should’ve re-worded that I know that’s a real breed name it’s just so offensive sounding and not a legit objection, that’s fair TBH.
Aside from that I know you’re active on these boards too, but I, and others, have tried to address him with patience over and over and over again over a protracted period of time, all to no avail, and there comes a time where people lose patience including other members AND some of the mods but I’m not going to share anything that they’ve said. I’m just not gonna get into the weeds with you in this.
And your position that I have “cussed out” other members is patently false and certainly doesn’t meet the definition of cussed out so please save your hyperbole and don’t accuse me publicly of a lie. Not ok.
And there’s a difference between asking someone to stop posting rubbish and respect the community a little versus telling someone not to post at all. Don’t conflate the two. We are an open community and everybody has the right to post but people also have to be accountable for what they write including the time that he had proclaimed that his wife was petrified to leave him alone with their own daughter. There was a whole message board mess he created on that one if you remember.You have to remember there is a very long history of this and he’s the only one that I see here that creates these controversies and train wrecks that is still allowed on the platform.
I honestly don’t know how much his very unfortunate condition plays in but he has also stated publicly that he enjoys pissing me off (which would also include others) so his medical condition hall pass can only go so far.
The rest of your assertions I don’t have the crayons for but I will say there are conversations with that go on that you are not privy to so slow your roll - there’s ALOT you don’t know!
And yes I did take a step back a couple weeks ago and stayed off the boards or at least commenting a bit for this very same reason -you’re right, only to return to more of the same. The TOS has a rule against posting what’s known as “rubbish posts” or low quality, now one could easily say who’s to judge, well someone has to, evidenced by the responses both publicly and privately he receives, and I receive about him, and more important the mods. And MANY of his posts qualify under that rule break.
I do not want to humiliate this man, I’d just like him to self monitor! I’ve said this countless times. I PMd you 3 comments I’ve had from others and there are definitely more and there are more people than you think that are tired of his posts and whacked out responses. I wish this man NO ILL WILL! Only to self monitor!
This message board community is not to be treated like a fully insured rental car that you can drive around town, smash up and then carelessly toss back the keys to the counter guy, it’s a community bus that we are all in together. All I’m asking is that he stops constantly pooping and farting in it! - (there’s one for you @pmvines lol) …
