holes

what i want to know is how do you spell 'society as a hole'

hole or whole?

D C

Hole, there was a Freudian twist to it.

So , your godson still has this fascination for holes. Something I already witnessed last time I saw him.

Mieke

Could you be more specific?

It was the morning after the mudwrestling event. We were all having breakfast in the hotel when M. came running to our table, shouting with excitement that there was a little hole in the floor. His mother told him to be little morequiet and send him away. Minutes later I found him still sitting next to the hole wich was in fact no taller than one square centimetre, the kind of hole wich is used to attach a door to the floor. I squatted down next to him asking if it was maybe like a shell in wich you could hear the sea. He gave me this delighted look and immediatly tried it out. Moments later when his mother came to get him it was with sorrow he left the little hole behind.

Dear Mieke

You asked me some items ago if I worked with children? This question seems so far from my reality that it slipped my attention.
No, I don't.

Eric

Arnon

Maybe his fascination with holes in the ground dates back from the story about 'El Tio' in Bolivia.

interesting question to wake up with. It seems a boys of his age thing to discover holes and secret spaces everywhere. A few days ago, a six year old boy told me he discovered a a secret thing in the bathroomwall.
But it's nice as well how little things pop up in your brain just when the brain feels like.
I imagine a little librarian in my brain. I sometimes ask him a question. Like: what was that guy's name? Or what was the number of ..? He comes up with an answer when he feels like. It can be at any time and it can take so long that i totally forgot about my question. But he never fails.

Eric

Are you an artist?

Eric

What do you think of Salvador Dali as a lie and a fraud?

@Mieke, if you don't mind me pointing out but you've asked this Eric a few questions he hasn't answered, and he most likely won't because that's the kind of guy he is. Personally, I think it's qute clear that:
- he's not a native speaker English
- he doesn't work with children (perhaps he's a buddhist, that's about all google leads to, a friendly looking guy wth a moustache who works with children and some freaky buddhist which he can't be)
- he's not an artist (artists would never quote exact times and dates as a referen ce to the quotations they challenge, in fact, artsist would never challenge others like that.)
I think if you're asking him questions this is what you should be asking:
- are you by any chance Johannes or David?

Noa

You can't be serious.

Noa

You already have David's answer and I think Johannes is far to intelligent to invent such a sham.

@David/@Mieke, hm yes, well I thought it would have been quite impressive really, it would seem that it requires quite some skill to build up a fictitional character with such consistency. So consider it a compliment David. Maybe he's real after all. How dull.

Dear Mieke

I don't think Dali is a lie nor a fraud.
But maybe I don't understand your question correctly.
And to answer the previous question: I'm an experiment.

Somebody -to whom I said farewell some time ago (07/08/2008 15:39)- tries desperately to make contact with me again. All possible means are being used; even accusations of not aswering questions, which is probably true, but wasn't done with a certain purpose; while this person didn't take the courtesy to answer a simple question h-self (05/08/2008 17:09). Ok then: if you answer mine, I answer yours.

yours truly,

Eric

@Eric, yes, I am that certain somebody and you're right: I am desperate to be in touch with you. Now that we've gotten that clear, could we please move on? As I've wasted most of this day procrastinating and writing poems about you, I thought I'd look up what you said on the date you mention:
"So Noa, are you going to tell us who this person is or do you want to leave it unsolved?"
I told you now: Johannes and/or David. Sometimes like Rutger. You even look like Arnon now and then, but that's only natural considering people (especially men) have the subconscious tendency to mimick whoever we look up to.
Seeing as I've answered all your questions and you said you'd answer mine, I'd now like to know: Why is this question of such importance and interest to you?

Yours truly,

Somebody

Eric

I am sorry I have to break you this message, but artists do lie, cheat , fraud and steal. All of this while their artwork is in progress and beleive me sometimes it shows ( in their work) . This doesn't make more true.

Dear Mieke

we don't disagree on this;
as Ravel answered when he was asked: "How do you write a masterwork"
-Ravel: "you try to steal something you like very much, but you fail".

(But maybe we do disagree, because I don't quite get your last sentence -'This doesn't make more true'.)

with love,

Eric

@Eric, oh my, you're really ignoring me. I suppose I'm happy in a way. At least I now have something to long for in my life, Gone with the wind was always my favourite. I was just thinking: perhaps the word "old' insulted you. If so, i had wanted to explain then but forgot so I will do so now: "old" is simply a doting expression in English when placed in a sentence where I put it. Bye then, I guess.

Dear Somebody

I also like to move on, but slowly if you don't mind. I'm a very sensitive person.
But honestly , I'm not Johannes and/or David, Rutger. Also not Arnon; I'm more abusive and pompous. Also their names sounds so different than mine.
To answer your question: because I liked you.
Maybe if you send me a poem we could even make a next step.......

yours,

Eric

Noa

Don't mind Eric. He is just flashing his penis.

@Eric

Wind swept and interesting
He said
Gregarious
In fact
She was mind blown and asking
For help.

(That was really bad wasn't it? Oh well, I tried).

@David
Rozes are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you

(there, that was much better already)

Dear Noa

I liked mine better.
Thanks!

yours,

Eric

Eric

Noa tried to make me jealous but you can have her, be my guest.

Dear David

Sometime ago I read in a newspaper that Dutch people are one of the rudest in Europe. Are you Dutch?

Eric

I think Eric is the only one who's not here talking to Mr. Arnon but the people that frequent this site. This alone makes me wonder.

Eric

I was being courteous.
My parents are Italian.

Dear Dens

Makes you wonder what ?

Eric

Wonder about you, Mr. Eric.

Dear Dens

Yes Dens I understand that,
but what about me?
If I'm a man?
If I'm a hitman?
If I'm Belgium?
I'f I like Somebody?
If I'm Nobody?
If I ever going to talk with A.G.?
If I will make my next birthday?

What Dens? For heavens sake WHAT!

yours,

Eric

@Eric: All that and more. I wonder about the type of underwear you wear, about the hair on your head and if it's really yours, if you have some. I wonder about your person(ality) in general. I do not, however, wonder if you are Belgium.
The main reason, of course, I wonder about you, is that you like me.

Eric is not in the position to answer your questions at this moment.
If your questions are urgent you could try calling 00331.43.35.10.06 in Djibouti
