"You are a tadpole, 24 or 34, slithering unharmed from my mouth through to my asshole in a feat of daring I’ll never match. During intercourse we listen to the Shepard-tone version of Lex Luger’s signature you recently auctioned at Sotheby’s, where we met, after I broke the picket line to piss in the building’s bathroom. You reveal to me after an extended, frustrating interval that this sound renders climax impossible; that this had been a valued defensive weapon before a valuable work of art; and so we retire to the kitchen, eating honey and cream of wheat with four spoons for reasons elaborated at length." → npluspersonals.com

"While some commentators and journalists have dismissed Occupy Wall Street as carnival, lawmakers and police officers did not miss the point. They reached back to a mid-nineteenth century ban on masking to arrest occupiers wearing as little as a folded bandana on the forehead, leaving little doubt about their fear of Carnival as a potent form of political protest." → e-flux.com
