Chilling 12

Hey Dan and Paul,

Great 'now that the party's over' strip - although I think your numbers are all to cock - shouldn't this be Chilling #12? Not that it matters - of course, unless you're a bibliographer.

Btw Dan, on the Depression strip - so far: a box of computers and stoner Baz; Mary hanging out for her pills; and ... what happens next? Is that THE END? Well ok if it is - I'm up for a WTF ending - but you need to let us popcorn munchers know by rolling the credits.

cheers parallax

how freaky is that? Within minutes of posting my comment you've been renumbered (thanks Ed Phil) - I suppose I should repost my Depression thread question on the #13 Chilling comments page ... scrolling up there ... see you in a bit

Dear parallaxview (or may I call you parallax?),
Lovely to hear from you and yes, Chilling numbers ARE all to cock- merely a reflection on my chaotic life- ignore them please.
Depression strip definitely NOT finished yet but my current situation means I've no time right now. I frequently wonder if I have the strength to continue with it but comments like yours give me heart. Sometimes I regret having devoted so much of my life to art and wish I'd become a hedge fund manager instead but I guess that's the sort of comment one would expect from a depressed ageing hippy such as myself...
Anyway, thanks for your concern,
Take care,
Dan

I happened to log on just then. It was my mistake, not Dan's.

Dan, you have a lot more readers / viewers than you think. I am definitely a big fan.

Hedge fund manager? Pah! I speet in their general direction. They cloud the social, you elucidate - no prizes for guessing who is most valuable in the long term.

And yes, you may call me parallax


and heya Phil, or may I call you Sisyphus? Good to virtually see you again :)

emoticons, meh - kitsch - but necessary to cross the hemispheric cultural divide

Dear Parallax view, if we had a cafe society in Britain, you would be a doyen. Our Lady - Gentleman Morell.

Sisyphus cest moi.

But doesn't Dan deserve a bit of money? Isn't he one of the best? He and Paul. I can't believe he is not rewarded for his wonderful work.

Depression speaks volumes to me. There was one that made me cry - in a manly way - when the grizzled old chap is rejected by his wife and then she reaches over and they make love.

Bless.

A warm welcome

. Why blog on ARS NOTORIA? I have set up this website,  ARS NOTORIA ,  (the notable art) as an opportunity for like-minded people like you to jot down your thoughts and share them with us on what I hope will be a high profile blog. . ARS NOTORIA is conceived as an outlet: a way for you to get things off your chest, shake those bees out of your bonnet and scratch that itch. The idea is that you do so in a companionable blogging environment, one that that is less structured - freer. Every article you care to write or photograph or picture you care to post will appear on its own page and you are pretty much guaranteed that people will read with interest what you produce and take time to look at what you post. Personal blogs are OK, but what we long for, if we can admit it, are easy-going, loose knit communities: blogging hubs where we can share ideas and pop in and out as frequentl...

Phil Hall: The Taleban are a drug cartel disguised as an Islamist movement

Truly the Taleban could have arranged as many bombings and terrorists acts as they liked in the UK. There are many Pashtun young men and women in cities in the UK who still have large extended families back in Afghanistan and who could be forced into doing something they should not. But guess what. So far there have been no attacks by Afghans on British soil. Why? It is a mystery. News comes from Afghanistan and the recent UN report that the Taleban and the drug trade are intertwined and that now the Taleban, who are mainly Pashtun, are officially in command of an international drug cartel.  News comes from Afghanistan that Taleban drug lords go to Dubai to live high on the hog and gamble and sleep with women and luxuriate in all the that the freedom to consume has to offer, while their footsoldiers, peasant fighters, are deluded and told that they are fighting a patriotic religious war.  And though they are told they are fighting a religious war what really matters to t...

Our Collective Caliban

At the risk of seeming digitally provincial, I’m going to illustrate my point with an example from a recent Guardian blog. Michel Ruse, who is apparently a philosopher, suggested that, whilst disagreeing with creationists on all points, and agreeing with Dawkins et al on both their science and philosophy, it might be wiser and more humane (humanist, even) not to vilify the religious as cretinous and incapable of reason. Which seems reasonable, to me. According to many below-the-line responses he is a ‘half-baked’ atheist, ‘one of the more strident and shrill New Apologists’ and, apparently, “needs to get a pair’. And that’s just from the first twenty comments. A recent article by a screenwriter at a US site was titled ‘Why I Won’t Read Your Fucking Screenplay.’ Tough guy. I wonder how his Christmas cards read. I’m going to sound like a maiden aunt dismayed by an unsporting bridge play and can perhaps be accused of needing to ‘get a pair’ myself (although, before you...
