Fischer arrives Reykjavik; after he knows that when he cares to show up Robbydharma - I! - will whisper 'insight chess', yield to Petrosian, get off the desk when I was 10 in fifth grade and mocked sexism by saying 'eek!' to a mouse, and somehow get down after Mrs. Wilson referred to me as 'sarcastic', and somehow have lived to be typing this as myself and note the statistical possibility of a 'Hurricane...

Sirs, ladies, dames, and let us have it, men, bitches! A 'polka' in which you might infer a tune and even one based on Uncle Robert's classic 'Schottenheimer Polka' (lyrics only but we love the tune, sort of), and by reference a twitting competition in which Kansas City and St. Louis were trading extraordinarily well-written shots yet where was some Kansas Citian who was a T. S. Eliot or a William S. Burroughs or even Robert Larkin. So since some of us remember the...

Green Sky At Night

feeds@yuku.com (Robbydharma) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:05:00 GMT

An extraordinary thing, brothers, to see green sky at night, and I am in a sense heartened by it and yet disheartened that a green sky should also fit a neighborhood which sees fit to sell drugs through its children and do nothing to protect an old man who would have helped, and who has helped, his neighborhood. When a neighborhood is in transition, should elements which threaten its children, its adults, and its aged, be maintained so they can threaten again and again and at what cost,...

Since TVAW exists by reference as a work of collective art and which includes our brethren and which are referenced as we remember, if necessary, then we note we sometimes introduce ours to the world, and we should not forget that Majin Dan and Jens-Kristian even if truly a Big Fat Moronic Oaf, is ours, and others, then we should never forget I never gamble, even in a 'put the riverboard where?' state like Missouri, and so I have introduced in a sense my 'team' of who should...

Yes, kids, somewhere on the old TVAW blog we had something about understanding life and which did not require that the two friendly X-men, the big powers Magneto! and Dr. Strangelove! or Patrick Stewart and Sir Somebody Much Better Actor Ian McKellan! should have to be sweeping up for William Shatner somehow, so that Professor Sylvain couldn't get a laugh here too, eh boys? Well, if we remember Stewart as Sejanus, and Ian McKellan as a Richard III barreling threw a wall in his tank, then...

Robert has a recurring powerful image of Ike as a man of about 5'8'' pounding stacks of papers on other stacks of papers as Ike and other men attempt to locate a 'little Robert' ... now how could he have gotten that image? Why would it occur in a dream?

When over the course of time men can themselves repair the damage between themselves and their lost fathers, then I know my own father, Robert E. Larkin, could understand a son so sensitive that he would rather feel a shock, a physical shock upon his own heart, as he was dying in hospital, than leave his father even when he was by circumstance compelled to leave. And if my father today smiles in me, it is a tribute not only to my mother and to my father, but to my grandfather, William Edgar...

The Equine School: No Fixed Meanings

The emperor asked Bodhidharma, 'What is the highest meaning of the holy truths?' Bodhidharma said, 'Empty, without holiness.' When the emperor asked, 'Who is facing me?' Bodhidharma replied, 'Don't know.'

'Don't know' is a method in which the mind does not spend all its time lost in thinking and does not seek what it knows already. It is 'openness'. Yet to some people the suggestion 'don't know' is taken to...

The Serious Forum? Victor's Boys?

How about Robert's Boys? How about KJ's boys? Before I got to ezboreds - coming to you yet? - I wrote on Yahoo! - can you hear it boys, that howl of pride from Southern men, or is it dejection from The Very Smart Kids? - and my idea of humour was translating 'NoterDamus' as the 'double quatrains of Thomas Jefferson'. So we've been joking here about the all brand new Olio and so far we've got it as Matt...
