02/04/02: mr. cranky's age and background

Posted By: spark


there are two words i have to say to you, mr. whankey:

1. annoying and vomiting over every picture release is veeeery outdated. well i know guys in their 40s aren't supposed to be 'hip', but yuppie cheeseball writing i-hate- the-entire-world bashing is not exciting too many people anymore. except if it's funny. of course, by 'funny' don't mean toilet humour and 'oh, there are no monkeys, it doesn't matter i'm so lame, it's just that i have to have something to flame' shit, but humour that has a social and aesthetical approach (for which terry gilliam's work with the phytons would be an excelent place for you to start, btw). 2. there's this thing called a vocabulary and style. no one wants to read something they can come up by themselves in the bathroom, on a john. 3. the nickie - 'mr. crankie' - belongs to the 80s. it is as subtle as a bible basher's radio programme.

so, tips for you, old fart:
