As God is his witness, Subby thought ~~turkeys could fly~~ he remembered that Ferlinghetti wrote "Howl."

So...yeah. I pretty much fail as an English major. I fully deserve your snark and derision, so you have my full permission to do your worst, as I deserve it for cocking up so spectacularly.

*(Sigh.)* Figures. dozens of submissions, and the one that greens is the one where I make a glaringly obvious and humiliating error that could have been avoided with a five-second Google tangent. At least this pretty much confirms that, as I've suspected, the Modmins are effing with us.

Hey dumbass, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was the deaf and blind beat poet, not the beat poet who hid in the attic--that was Brion Gysin, I think.

Who dashed off a hasty discharge
His facts were rotten

Of course it sounds retarded. However, when hasn't television had programming that wasn't farktard stupid? You make it sound as if this show might somehow lower Fox's standards.

It was Ruth Bader Ginsberg, actually.

Emily Dickinson was just one of Gilda Radner's recurring characters on SNL back in the '70s.

You know, I honestly can't think of one werewolf show that ever made it off the ground. A bunch showed up in the 80-90's and were shot down pretty quickly. Guess vampires have more appeal. Also thought the furries would eat it up, but maybe lycans don't count.

EdgeRunner

2009-12-04 02:11:50 PM

No no no... Allen Ginsburg didn't write Howl. True scholars know that it was actually written by Francis Bacon, just like he wrote all the plays that were credited to Shakespeare, all the poetry that was credited to Lord Byron, and most of the television shows that were credited to Aaron Spelling. This is easily proven by the fact that bacon is so awesome, just being named Bacon makes you awesome.

Ginsberg wrote the scripts for Teen Wolf 1 and 2. That's probably why there's confusion.
