The only fault with the Donger one is that Donger tends to be even more socrative. He constantly answers questions with questions.

Also, Saccopoo was clearly going for a great classic novel and Moby Dick is the one he went with?
That's like naming any great RB in Chiefs history and choosing Rashaan Shehee |

My Chiefs recall is like that - totally random stuff. EDIT - And yeah, **** this new and improved Sacc. |

I have absolutely no idea what that means. (Likewise, I do not understand what this recent fascination with the "tubgirl" thing is about, because, much the same as "Lemon Party," I don't have any idea what it is.) I've put the filth thread in the Pictures section on ignore. |

Moby Dick is literary brilliance. It stands as the greatest example of allegory, hands down. The imagery and passion are exemplary. The social, religious and political underpinnings are sublime. And add to it that it languished, unread for 70+ years, before anyone knew it existed and that most of Melville's other novels, writings, etc., are pretty much dog shit makes it all the more brilliant. It's not like the guy was ****ing John Updike or John Steinbeck. Edit: Moby Dick is more Joe Delaney. A brief, singular example of brilliance that was really only appreciated after the author had been gone and time for understanding and appreciation allowed people to genuflect on it's meaning, importance and contributions.

I think that my usage of "sublime" as it relates to Moby Dick was germane. |

Because those subtleties within the book, the underlying commentary on those aspects of the pre/mid-Industrial Revolution era are inducing a conceptualization of brilliance/greatness for the reader as it relates to the work as a whole. I think you just got pissy because you perceived my commentary as an attack on one of your sychophants in this thread. |
