First Stab At A Cantab Slam Since Moving Back

​I can not explain how much I dread erotic poetry night. Too many nipples, mangoes, and mytholigcal/fantasy "erotica" makes me queasy. Fortunately, there were no mangoes, no fantasy crap, and only one poem with nipples (Which was rhymed with cripples and ripples...no word on where Mr. Whipple was during the nipple play. Probably "squeezin the Charmin" as it were). There were some wonderfully written, actually erotic love poetry by the likes of Matt LeClair (quickly becoming one of my favorite non-slammers), Tom Daley, and a ton of people I hadn't seen before.

Had to beat out mstegosaurus, Urban (Worcester), and Eric Darby (member of a few/couple Ann Arbor Teams). I had to strategize, rather than just doing the poems I wanted to do in the order that I originally wanted to do them, but I won.

Don't think it's been mentioned in LJ land yet: the new Boston slammistress is Simone Beaubien. I can't think of anyone in town who would have been a better choice.

akamuuI think it's brilliant. She has a quiet no nonsense approach. She'll get things done and she won't take any shit, but she's not going to run aroun shouting "I get things done and I won't take any shit!" like certain former Cantab slammasters.

I just worry that when his show inevitably fails, he's going to come back.

akamuu: Why Saddam Wears Rubber PantsThe day Michael Brown names Adam Stone slammaster of The Cantab is the day Dubya gives Saddam an open kiss on the mouth and then dry humps his leg.

I'm not saying those two things will never happen. I'm just saying they'll happen on the same day.

smjorI totally feel you about having a deep-seated loathing for erotic poetry. I especially hate hearing it when I'm not getting any.

I just recently wrote an erotic poem. It had no mangoes, nipples, or fantasy crap, although I did refer to the act of ejaculating into my mouth as "leaving a biological bank deposit." My friend argues that it's not very erotic. But I think that for all the lonely, horney bank tellers out there, it's pure spank-a-licious magic.
