Where's AJP?

[Dundeegeorge]

Do we know if he's OK?
It's bizarre but I've almost forgotten the lyrics to Gates of Eden.

Anybody heard from Alf?

 

[Lucifer Box]

My money is on him having spent the last couple of weeks digging a shelter in the garden in preparation for the end of the world come the launch of the Iranian euro oil bourse. Last time he was on here the poor fella seemed as though he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

That's why I was asking

My money is on him having spent the last couple of weeks digging a shelter in the garden in preparation for the end of the world come the launch of the Iranian euro oil bourse. Last time he was on here the poor fella seemed as though he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

He did seem a little perturbed.

(DG in concerned mode)

And hows you LB? Getting any sleep?
Worst thing I found about babies is face hurts from smiling stupidly all the time (my face, not my babies').

 

[Central-Scrutiniser]

According to our records at the Ministry of Truth Pruffock was known to be outspoken crtic of EngSoc and an opponent of the Eursasian Wars.

Was AJPruffock Happy
The question is absurd
If something was wrong
The Ministry of Truth
Certainly would have heard


The sense of danger must not disappear:
The way is certainly both short and steep,
However gradual it looks from here;
Look if you like, but you will have to leap.

The worried efforts of the busy heap,
The dirt, the imprecision, and the beer
Produce a few smart wisecracks every year;
Laugh if you can, but you will have to leap.

The clothes that are considered right to wear
Will not be either sensible or cheap,

So long as we consent to live like sheep
And never mention those who disappear.

Anybody heard from Alf?

I have to say I certainly won't miss his bloody poetry.

 

[Churchill]

Have you noticed that ZG is rather quiet about this topic?

You don't think he's eaten AJP do you?

 

[Central-Scrutiniser]

I have to say I certainly won't miss his bloody poetry.

AJPruffock is Dead

...no no...he is outside ...looking in

Pruffock : I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

Central Scrutiniser : Of course you are my bright little star,

I've miles
And miles
Of files

Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

Pruffock ... I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.


There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.

It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

How are things, Alf?

 

[Fleetwood]

Of course it's AJP.
The central scrutinizer narrates a Zappa album (Joe's Garage, I think), and the quote is from the narration that precedes "Lovely to see you" from the album "On the threshold of a dream" by the Moody Blues.
Typical Pruffockian seventies obsession.
Alf, I'm not good company at the moment for various reasons, which is why I haven't been in touch, but I'll PM you when I feel a bit better.
