Literature = "pornenhausen" ?

[sea_shel]

Yes people, this is that poem we all (well, just the IBs) know about...

For those who have been bewildered beyond imagination whenever anyone of us has screamed something vague about Swan-rape and literature being a cover for porn (or "pornenhausen" for elly) here it is...

LEDA AND THE SWAN - W.B Yeats

Sandy Wilson's 'the Boyfriend'

It's about Desperate& dateless girls from england in a french finishing school whose favourite pastimes are: Breaking into song and dance, getting seduced by rich old men and reading 'Leda and the swan'. One day some spunky boys conveniently come strutting along. Then they shag. The end.*

*I may/may not have made the shagging part up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I miss IB English and all the pornography involved. It was like sex education class for those of a more...naive nature. I don't think we ever had anything so blatantly graphic, though! Oi. The best one we had wasn't pornographic, it just swore the whole way through. Like, 'fuck your mum and dad, it's their fault you've got problems. Fuck your teachers, it's their fault this. Fuck someone else, it's their fault that.' It was so entertaining *g*

And arguably, so true.

Good luck with auditions! If someone gets the part you want, you kill them.

With a stick.

Now I shall go and plot...eliminate the enemy...

Never underestimate the power of...The Twig.

Uh, excuse me? I believe I ordered thun...

*thunder crashes overhead*

...der. *rolls eyes* Better late than never, I suppose, but I didn't quite achieve the dramatic effect I was looking for.

Gods: *shrug*

Bastards.

*dodges lightning strikes*

Okay, okay! I get it! Easy!

SWAN PORN! (But Zeus is nothing if not inventive...)

Good luck with auditions! I worked out there's about 5 main parts already and potential for a few more, so it'll be alright. We're sopranos (sp?) AND almost the right age, so we'll be fine.

Yeah, you guys will be alright. What about the poor females who have been cursed with man voices! This is why there is so much anti-soprano sentiment down the alto end of the choir!
Maybe I can play an unmoving, unsinging tree!

Or you could just take lots of helium, alternately. (And you'll be fine, you DO drama!)

[sea_shel]

Penny, you can hit the notes fine. If not, they can always take it down an interval or 2. I expect that's what they'll do when they can't fine multitalented people who can fill out all three requirements.
Except for the laceys.
They can do everything. Even lino prints.
