Maybe within this nation, there are different cultures, none beneath another in importance, but existing side-by-side from the east coast to the west, from one city block to the next?

            Nope. There, your question has been answered

              Maybe so, but do you really hate it? Or are you indifferent to it?

              ACK!

                Precisely none of Laz's list would fit in a Norman Rockwell painting, dear. That was the point.




                Who'd have thunk that this thread would turn into a classic so quickly?

                  I'd invite 10 copies of myself.

                  Scratch that; 9 copies and NPH

                    QFT. I'm actually not familiar with a number of those people, but you don't see me saying "LOL what rap album did John Mytton produce." The ones I am familiar with would, in fact, be quite fun to party with. My main concern would be that Keith Moon might get a little carried away in such company and start smashing the plates.

                      It's fun to imagine a meeting between, say, Dorothy Parker and Norman Rockwell. Did either of them perchance know martial arts?

                        I don't know, but that sounds like the premise of a horribawesome graphic novel.

                          Scratch that, I just read John Mytton's bio. I can envision the guy starting the meeting with a ghastly shriek, then beating Rockwell half to death with a lamp. Rockwell wouldn't even have to say or do anything.
