Hi all, Despite some of the negative views of fishfingers I have to say I like 'em.

(Could you? It sure would be crowded....)< Whilst I'm being honest I suppose I should also admit that I don't like the marx brothers (meryl, you probably think that's heresy but suffice to say the space under my rock rocks ;). On the matter of Captain Fluxlist.....I love the name........I would in fact enjoy the comic, should it exist......maybe someone could detourne some old marvel or DC stuff in this manner........nice situationist activity for a rainy day..........maybe I'll do it if I find time. Carol, any website building help you need re: the address book, just ask...no problem at all :) Josh wrote: >What, pray tell, is Anarcho-dandyist Art? Is a special hat needed? Or is this a term that makes sense in England, but not in America?< No this term doesn't make sense in England but then again the review is from a Scottish newspaper. So it may be a term in use in Scotland but I doubt it...I think its invented for the article...it's a good word though and bereft of any meaning at all I'd imagine since anarchism and the socio-political ideas of the dandy are mutually exclusive. However I'm reminded of that line in the classic Adam and the Ants song "Stand and Deliver": we're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses we're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation (oh oh) "throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation" (full lyrics at http://home.wish.net/~antlady/lyrics/Stand&Deliver.html mp3 snippet at http://www.4micula.de/english/index02.htm ) I guess a dandy highwayman would be an Anarcho-dandyist? anyway, enough foolery ;) cheers, Sol.
