What's "dilanesque"? Do you mean "Dylanesque"? |
|
| |
And by "playing", do you mean "plain"? |
|
| |
What does Dylan (which one?) have to do with picture newspapers? |
|
| |
Picture-based worldless communication has a long historical tradition in e.g. church windows and tapestries. Newspapers, I don't think so. |
|
| |
There is a picture-only newspaper in Ray Bradbury's science-fiction novel "Fahrenheit 451". |
|
| |
... teh internet is mostly illiterate if that helps |
|
| |
I can imagine those celebrity-news magazines converging on some kind of graphic novel format. That could work because it's a kind of 'news' which requires absolutely no context. For real news, no. |
|
| |
I can't bring myself to fishbone this, because it's not stupid in itself, just stultifying in its effects, which is different. |

[Marked-for-deletion] Ambiguous Dylan. |
|
| |
No idea - until such time as the poster decides to explain what this is. |
|
| |
I'm thinking the reverse of 'Under Milk Wood', which is described as a "play for voices", so "dilanesque" presumably means the use of a medium for = Oh God, i have no idea. Anagram? |
|
| |
Can we add "Ambiguous Dylan" to the help
file? The HB's hard enough for newbies to
get to grips with as it is, we really ought to
keep that updated. |
|
| |
Good Lord!!! The man just invented Television!!!! (Just turn the volume off.) |
|
| |
I think it's read di Lanes que... |
|
| |
Just to clarify - wrapping something up in misspelled and obfuscationary allusion does not an idea make. |
|
| |
Wasn't it Bob Dylan who did that video with the lyrics on big sheets of cardboard? |
|
| |
Aha, a search reveals "Subterranean Homesick Blues" - and some youtube [linked] |
|
| |
It still doesn't really make any sense though. |
|
| |
I also notice that [marked-for-deletion]
bollocks, hasn't been added to the help
file. Most distressing. |
|
| |
Light and sunny today, and the trees and
leaves will trail with daisies and barley
down the rivers of the windfall light. |

|
| |
challenge the *obfuscationary* thing. Per chance, would you mean *obfuscatory*? my goodness. you must be soooo embarassed. |
|
| |
In "Gun, With Occasional Music", the news on the radio only played music. |
|
| |
Was that by any chance "The day the music died" ? |

[zen_tom], avoid any career move into Sales or Marketing. |

Ha - career (and spelling) advice taken - as it happens, I'm going to a 2-day sales conference tomorrow - I'm hoping to win the "Most Cynical Attendee" award between being talked at too much by thousands of gleaming-toothed salesmen. |
