Sometimes, people just get carried away when
talking about Jo:

We now spend many an hour in private omphalocentric contemplation of the pix
in a never ending search for one-ness with Jo..... This is the path of the
true joogler.

Jo guest is not just a nude model who excites us, she is the eschatological
manifestation of the ground of our being, the kerygma from which we find
ultimate meaning: Jo is art. JO is Art. Jo=Art. J0 IS ART! jo is aRt.
jo is art? J0 1S ART, D00DZ!!! jo is art. JO is ART. #include <jo_is_art.h>
Er, right, thanks for that... I think...
If you've read Snark's original
FAQ, you'll know that he had a "No Poetry!" rule.
To give you some inkling of why Snark was so moved to ban poetry,
here's one of DB's efforts:
- This day is called the fest of Babe
He that outlives this day, and downloads correct
Will stand erect when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Jo.
He that shall live this day, and see the clip,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his eyes,
And say 'To-morrow is Babefest Day'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his sweaty palms.
And say 'These scars I had on Babefest day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Maxwell the king, Snark and Stone,
Exe(ter) and Nestor, Stig and Zed Too,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Babefest shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his 'blood' with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That downloaded with us upon Babefest day.
to which Maxwell Smut responded as follows:
- "To read, or not to read DB's prose,
That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of
outrageous poetry.............."
and Snark himself added:
Nothing wrong with DB's poetry when you put it in perspective. I've found
it clears a room much faster then anything a Vogon could produce.
