Poem Number 319
Name Game


Commentary:
question
answer
questioning the answer
a quick division of the crowd
some agree with the answer
some disagree with the answer
this group disagrees with the question
conflict
escalation
now dead bodies
a hunchback and a soldier
they say that the answer and the question are the same thing
now they're playing amongst the edges
another group comes in just to observe
scientists come in, coding both in ones and zeros
somebody inventive finds a way to make millions
a monkey laughs
another group is protesting the fact that this question ever came up
this next group had to appear
but they divided themselves into lawyers and the media
i like the question
i like the answer
the next group is going to disappear
====================================
Commentary:
I was thinkin 'bout changin my name/handle to something else.3monked has already dicovered the meaning
of SaccoVanzetti,so I was pondering changing.Any suggestions?
Also,I wanna know all your stats.I know thats pathetic cause this aint a chat room,but I get a feeling of
community here,so I wanted to know more 'bout you.(besides what you reveal
in verse).please.go ahead.
-------
I knew who Sacco & Vanzetti were, I just didn't say anything. (Sorry, had to be that guy.) I was also going to suggest your new handle be "Chicken Fried Steak" but figured that was too much like 3monked jimmy. Then I thought you could call yourself "Mongo Muppet, Master of Metaphoric Misanthropy" but figured that was too long and the alliteration might kill somebody.
Here's a list of names you can feel free to claim as your own:
Young Gandhi
Sinister Dexter
GoofusGallant
The Oppenheimer Effect
Parallelogram
S.P.A.S.T.I.C., The Robot That Walked Like A Man!
Too Many Monkeys
What's Inside The Pentagon?
Mr. Whipple
Tinky-Winky
DECREATOR
Window Pain
Jackie Chan
Dipsy
Gremlin
Televised Mind-Control
George
Laa-Laa
Helen
Technoholic
My Neighbor's Cat Knows My Name And Wants To Kill Me
Po
The Military-Industrial Complex
Organic Soup
Biscuit
Well, I hope that's enough to get you started. Let me know what you decide upon.
-Mofo Rising
-------
i apologize for belching the roots to your name S.V.
i remembered it from a history class and couldnt keep my big mouth shut.
Mofo,you are one intriguing individual.i would almost say you are a major polarity on this ipp runway.But whatever name you had it wouldnt make a difference.
my point is whatever name you go by S.V. becomes irrelavent.it's whats behind the name(here being the poetry-commentary or whatever they call it)that counts.
stick around awhile SaccoVanzetti.pull up a milk crate...
i know im an idiot but hopefully sometimes my stuff will fool you and
sound deep and meaningful.
Usually it's just da "johnny" talkin'.
...3monked jimmy
-------
How about the 5Ms (abbrev. for Mongo Muppet.....)guru
-------
Again, I suggest the name "Freak Daddy."

This spammy list of names is brought to you in part by Arm & Hammer, Teletubbies and
the strange person known as k.a (tm)
-------
And, if those names don't work, try Pretty Soldier Sailor Vanzetti (think i got that right)
yet another post from k.a
-------
I LOVE YOU GUYS! (GIMME TIME TO THINK THIS OVER)---THE ARTIST FORMERLY
KNOWN AS "saccovanzetti"
-------
here's a whut ahm-a gunna do:since I have a penchant for obscure
references,I'll post these names and see if you can identify them
for me.The one which you have no clue what the hell I'm talkin 'bout,
-that's the wiener!
-Wynken Dewilde- -Ouroboros- -Fibonacci #s-
-------
Wynken Dewilde. Blynken and Nod eaten by a 19th century satirist? Not too sure on that one.
Ouroboros. The snake that eats its own tail. Rebis from the comic "Doom Patrol". Cameo appearance in "The Neverending Story".
Fibonacci #s. Isn't that 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, etc. I just watched a movie called "Pi". Highly interesting.
Obscure references are fun, but we already have a Dennis Miller. Plus, we can always look up whatever you choose on the internet. Names are easy to decipher, the individual behind them takes quite a bit longer. What's the use of a name?
-Mofo Rising
-------
Shame on you---The artist formerly known at Sarccovanzetti must at least have a symbol
......hmmmm, let's see......$$$$$$$....for the rich and famous........*********....for
the machine gun toter.........????????.....for the inquisitive........???***$$$.....
for the inquisitive machine gun toting richman......Han Solo says to Chewey---
"Laugh it up, fuzzball".......guru
-------
let me ask you this MOFO,is your name a reference to the UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN,
or JIM MORRISON's anagram? or both? what's the use of a name?you tell me.
It seems we need them.They're like the containers of our egos,the balloons
for our helium(so it doesnt dissolve into nothingness).The bitch of it is,
Ive been wrackin' my melon for TWO DAYS to try and figure out a moniker.
I've narrowed it down to five finalists:
MOEBIUS DICK - I kinda like the fact that this is ambiguous & fulla
different meanings.
FREUDIAN SLIPPER - I like this one,but I'm afraid someone'll think
I'm a foot fetishist,when I'm a hardcore T&A man,but I do like the
"snow white:psuedo-reference there.
ZENER DIODE - I just think this name is colorful and geeky.Makes me
think of yellow for some reason.?
PEACH EXPERIMENT - a bowdlerization of SPEECH IMPEDIMENT,kinda clever,
isn't it?!?
JACK CHICK - he's the guy who publishes all those religious tracts
you see everywhere,you know,the cartoon ones? Really cool stuff.
I'm addicted to those li'l things like crack er somethin'.
ORGONE - reference from some Beat poet who was talkin''bout some
crazy-ass philosopher who came up with a theory of orgones,(named
Wilhelm Reich)
MATA HARI KIRI - my nice little blending of sex and death,also of
course,brings up images of samurai and international spy intrigue.
DIET PEPYS - because of the diaries and because I fuckin hate corporate
culture and wanted to satirize it.
and last but not least:
ITSMELLSGOODEATIT - just because.hope it horrified ya.
- the unnamed poet(temporarily at least.)
-------
Let it be........Sacco Vanzetti......what's in a moniker anyway.......your identity is separate from the logo....guru
-------
FREUDIAN SLIPPER- what is the reference to snow white? i thought cinderella was the one with the slippers...
-------
Didn't Anne Rice write about Wynken Dewilde in her book Memnoch the Devil?
k.a is copywrited, use only under written permission.
-------
Also, as a sideways note, yuo could always go under the Suede-o-Machinist
k.a
-------
Where do you find one of those mythical orgones anyway? Can you just make one out of a cardboard box? Hunting down the infinite divine experience is hard work!
-juggernaut jim
-------
Thank you ALL for your foine,foine,posts to help me decide on a name.
It was difficult,but I have chosen,finally.Just a final afterthought...
I realy enjoyed MOFOrisin's selections.In particular:Televised Mind Control.
And I must say,i'm impressed that you caught all my references,especially
the Wynken DeWylde one.I dint think anyone would get that.
Now i guess the next guessing game will be to see if you can figure out
my newly chosen name amongst the poems that I will write in the future.
Again,THANKS Y'ALL!!!!
-------
(this was all written in 1997,and Saccovanzetti is now everywordmeansfuck)
(for your voyeuristic pleasure.)
-------
You will always be e.w.m.f. though and what is the use to changing your name and announcing it publicly silly? oh well......u go boy! let me know what you wanna be .....
