I was more interested in the paradoxical request for a television characters DNA, though of course in front of a somewhat insober bunch of people tonight, I might not be able to explain such niceties as paradoxes or iambics. <br /><br />In fact I wrote this several weeks ago and haven't thought about it much since. We'll see how they like it tonight!TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1005965843366630262009-06-03T11:36:07.379+10:002009-06-03T11:36:07.379+10:00I must admit that I was too distracted by the extr...I must admit that I was too distracted by the extraordinary content to give the skilful deployment of iambic pentameter its due- but perhaps it was so skilful as to be unobtrusive. I like the way you explore the full gamut of obsessive fandom- from wanting to have an affair with MacGyver to wanting to kill him and dismember the body to finally wanting to become him.<br /><br />Trying very hard now not to be distracted for the rest of the day by the somewhat unsettling image of a Frankenstein's monster made from the combination of you and MacGyver.forlornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-24867378269003234912009-06-03T11:07:16.586+10:002009-06-03T11:07:16.586+10:00Wasn't going to post it - but here it is!
Ge...Wasn't going to post it - but here it is! <br /><br />Get me the saliva of MacGyver - <br />The beads of sweat that break upon his chest,<br />The perfume from his armpits. I request<br />To float upon the odour of his breath,<br />To pluck the manly stubble from his chin,<br />And weave a woollen blanket to sleep in. <br />Get me his toenails and his fingernails;<br />Cut out his eyebrows and his lashes fine.<br />I want his navel lint: so make it mine.<br />I want the absolute, the undilute,<br />The chromosomal essence of the man.<br />I'll keep it bedside: in a little can. <br />And when I have enough, I'll make a bath,<br />A pool, an ocean of his DNA - <br />I'll swim within MacGyver all the day! <br />Drenched in the stench of his testosterone,<br />I'll dive down drunkly, drink him drop by drop,<br />Absorb him through my pores, I will not stop<br />Til I emerge: in Holy Technicolour,<br />A new MacGyver, sensuous and sleek: <br /><b>And that concludes MacGyver for the week.</b><br /><br />It is, er, irreverent. But did you notice the iambic pentameter? Did you? Did you?TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-37225468334061479302009-06-03T10:55:15.240+10:002009-06-03T10:55:15.240+10:00Yes, that must be it. I was just a little startled...Yes, that must be it. I was just a little startled as you seemed to have a reference to one of my comments in the post before. I wondered if I was being sent a secret code! And then there was the dream this morning, which confused me for quite a few seconds. Did you have a series of dreams like this about all 200 odd people you're friends with on facebook or was the figure an assemblage of everyone's faces?<br /><br />I think everyone has half-memories in the back of their head when they're writing from time to time. I'm very sorry I can't hear your MacGyver poem. Will you be posting it here? I immediately thought of Laurence Leung's MacGyver episode (I loved that show- very charming and also moving in its subtle way).forlornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-78926055103015451782009-06-03T10:25:14.140+10:002009-06-03T10:25:14.140+10:00I'm sure I did, then filed it away to that corner ...I'm sure I did, then filed it away to that corner of my memory where I wasn't conscious of it anymore, then recycled it as I was looking at Brown Dog. (I remember very clearly having the thought, 'Can Bludgers turn into Bludgeons?') <br /><br />I'm reading a poem of mine tonight for a competition that begins 'Get me the salive of MacGyver', and just realised that I probably stole this from Clive James - 'Get me the sweat of Gabriella Sabatini'. I wonder how often I do this?TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-80903532882783241422009-06-03T08:15:07.282+10:002009-06-03T08:15:07.282+10:00I have nothing to say other than please include re...I have nothing to say other than please include regular updates on your growing relationship with Brown Dog!<br /><br />I envy my cat her bludging every morning when I see her sitting on the pillow beside my head in the cat-show pose.
