Russia's Spetsnaz special forces

Who knew that think tank work could be so much fun? Leaders like La Guardia smashed slot machines because slot machines take money from the vulnerable and poor and deliver a large portion of the take to politicians. Leaders like New York's current governor, Andrew Cuomo, want to legalize slot machines and spread them across our state for exactly the same reason.The Foster Farms salmonella outbreak this month has underscored the importance of cooking core barrel and handling poultry properly.Large format entrees include Diver Sea Scallops with spaghetti vegetables and Provencal orchid sauce stainless steel kitchenware and Bone-In Dry Age Ribe Eye Steak.Another key to staying warm up on the roof: booze.

What if the poetic has left the poem in the same way that Elvis has left the building? Long after the limo pulled away, the audience was still in the arena screaming for more, but poetry escaped out the backdoor and onto the Internet, where it is taking on new forms that look nothing like poetry. Poetry as we know it—sonnets or free verse on a printed page—feels akin to throwing pottery or weaving quilts, activities that continue in spite of their cultural marginality. But the Internet, with its swift proliferation of memes, is producing more extreme forms of modernism than modernism ever dreamed of.I would advise that you don't do this for tons of micro-topics, of course, so don't go crazy creating a gazillion pages where the content could be condensed into one kitchen knives or just a few pages.These are the ideas of the Canadian media scholar Darren Wershler, who has been making some unexpected connections between meme culture and contemporary poetry. 

"These artifacts,Google Glass and other wearable devices may soon augment smartphones for rock bolt technophiles." Wershler claims, "aren't conceived of as poems; they aren't produced by people who identify as poets; they circulate promiscuously, sometimes under anonymous conditions; and they aren't encountered by interpretive communities that identify them as literary." Examples include a Nigerian e-mail scammer who writes out the entire "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in longhand, a data engineer who renders the entire text of Moby Dick into emojicons, and a library scientist who converts "Ulysses" into Q.R. bar codes.
