So are you saying that Carl Segan walks among us?

Picture yourself in a world where Carl Segan yet lives. and not just one Carl Segan but millions and billions of tiny Carl Segans, each wearing a slightly different shade of tweed coat...now picture millions and billions of these worlds lined up as far as the eye can see..adding up to one giant Carl Segan.

sounds like you should go to the erotic poetry slam at kieran's on 2.14.

Erotic Poetry contest?

indeed. i would suggest making a reservation, as it usually gets more crowded than the usual monthly slams -- and it's a friday, too.

slam starts at 8. sign-up is at 7:30.

if you've never been to one, here's how it works:

- poets sign up
- 5 judges are chosen randomly from the audience
- poets perform their pieces one at a time (work must be of their own creation, 3 minutes or less, and not include any props or music)
- judges hold up their scores (like at olympic diving)
- audience cheers or boos for the scores, but always claps for the poet
- scorekeeper drops the high and low score and adds the 3 middle scores
- after all the poets are done, the top scores move to the second round and so on
- there are 3 rounds. top 5 scores at the end of it all win cash and Kieran's gift certificates and the adoration of women (or men) in the audience

it's usually a good time, even if you just watch.

My roommate just got the entire Cosmos series on DVD. We've only watched the first one so far, but I was pretty impresssed. Those things hold up pretty well for having been made in the early 70s.

Carl... was geek. Picture millions and bilions of little geeks,, adding up to a giant spaztic Hawkman.

we watch carl segan in chemistry and he's a freakin pimp, and he's gonna be for billions and billions of year to come. CARL SAGAN FOR PRESIDENT!

I fall asleep with a smile on my face with dreams of beautiful carl in my thoughts. billions and billions of flowers in a field as we run towards each other. he is wearing a tweed coat that shimmers brown with fashion-murder. if he was here still, i would divorce my husband and me and carl would be happy for billions and billions of lovely dreams in the cosmo.
