if this were a facebook status, i would click "like" about now.

yep.

... i don't know why i didn't just say "i like this."

Chris Lawrence · 01.17.2010, 08:18 AM

is this the same material as 'hello from the american desert' or a continuation of that theme?

Moshe · 01.17.2010, 10:08 AM

i don't know..

Is he turning spam messages directly into poem? I'd imagine, although a bizarre thought, that there could be some copyright issues in that case. But who is the copyright owner in that case; the spammer, or the machine that created it?

Just e-mailed Water Row person to see if I can get a copy. I hope he offers a discount for institutional use or retails this in a local store. I wish I could have one. Photos looke great. Go Lee, lightly!

blunderbuss · 04.14.2010, 11:45 AM

I want it... but can I really justify the expenditure to myself?

stu666 · 04.14.2010, 12:35 PM

ouch, i agree blunderbuss, to buy or not to buy? plus there will be tax to pay on this...

blunderbuss · 04.14.2010, 02:35 PM

Oh well, I've done it now...

stu666 · 04.14.2010, 02:40 PM

blunderbuss · 04.14.2010, 02:41 PM
