Love that Stephanie-he must know how you love to laminate things.

Cleo-the Surrealistic compliment generator is hilarious. It would be nice to insert some of those in place of the 'yeah...uh huh..s that are required so often in conversation.  We need a trashtalk generator. DKult really needs to work at recruiting some techno savvy members. Is anyone willing to evangelize at Best Buy?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 11, 2012 at 1:21am

That is a nice line, regardless of origins. 

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 11, 2012 at 1:04am

(Eg, this line: ""Luminescence breeds in your finest moments of desperation." Truly sounds like it was ripped straight from the pages of a Breton text!)(Glorious indeed!!! ^_^)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 11, 2012 at 12:21am

ha-ha-ha, indeed! pedantic-nerd shit I can't rid myself of the habit of ya know %_^ [but i'm larfing at mesef all the while, i promise...] aaaanyway, doesn't matter to me what's true because I'm a devout believer: Breton/surrealist phil/lit my god...

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 11, 2012 at 12:14am

Ah Claire, it only takes the slightest misstep of the boot to rattle your chain. 

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 11, 2012 at 12:06am

it's S. vocabulary though, indeed! the humour of both, but def. the romance of S. [they're more well known for automatic writing anyway]. the D's completely abstracted the process, the Ss had a more personal touch, shall we say... (game vs revelation...? %_^)

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on July 10, 2012 at 11:55pm

you're a tease DV %_^

curious: i've forgotten my dates: was Lissitsky (sp?) working before or at the same time as Schwitters?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 10, 2012 at 11:41pm

Cool toy Claire de Lune.

I think even Kurt Schwitters would agree that technically it's a DaDa generator.
