SeeKer Posted November 1, 2009 Mornings are never complete without perusing the NYTimes. I noticed there was a column about a competition by the experimental Parisian literary movement Oulipo – Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle (The Workshop of Potential Literature). The rules of the competition are simple one only has to stack their imaginary library according to any category they desire. The library can be of movies, books or music. An example could be: The Green Mile,The Color Purple, Purple Rain, Moulin Rouge. Lady in Red, The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, A White Christmas, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, White Chicks, Pink Panther I & II, The Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Pitch Black, Black Hawk Down, Black Knight, The Golden Child. How high can your stacks get? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cara. Posted November 1, 2009 Edible Woman Prep time: 15-20 years Cooking time: 5-10 years Servings: 8 Take one female infant, raw, preferably intelligent, full of potential and curious about the world. Use a coarse cheese grater to file away unattractive edges. Wring out curiosity with plenty of mindwashing and busy work, knead personality to desired shape, then place in small pan until she has been molded into rigid social conventions. Bake at 350F, let cool, glaze and garnish with meaningless consumer goods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
