Any T.S. Eliot fans out there? Let me hear from ya!

I love T.S. Eliot, despite his misogynistic views and generally pedantic assholery, and "The Waste Land" is a showpiece of modern poetry. Imagine my delight, then, when I found this.
Check it out; here's a hint of what you'll see:

i seez cumean sybil
sybil can has bukkit?
sybil wantz DIE

Delia--you are very funny re. the TS Eliot.
I actually did my master's thesis partly on TS Eliot--Murder in the Cathedral, though, not The Wasteland.

Next week... Matty Boy does lolz Baudelaire, from his most famous work, Les Fleurs Du Mal or as it is translated into lolz, Smutty Thotz. I Gotz Dem.

Stay tuned.

Funny. LOLcat should take on Eliot's The Naming of Cats next.

"This is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends-

Not with a bark, but a whimpurrrrrr."

Karen--yup.

KGMom--I love his poetry, but as Randal said, he was a wanker. My theory is that he was just a closet queen, but I'm a little biased on that count....

Matty--bring it on!

Randal--Oh noes!

Fran--you're too kind.

GKL--brilliant--you could do it!

Fairlane--that is pure gold, man.

Excellent! I'd like a LOL interpretation of William Carlos Williams please.

CDP--now there's a challenge!

How could I have missed this post????

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;


One of my favorite poem openings.
