Could you please explain your title of this post. Are you suggesting Uri Geller was a fake ? Shame on you

[Geoffrey]

to karren:
yes, i am well, karren - and thank you. i am always laid back after a glass or two of wine in an evening. good to see you again, it's been ages.

to solongleonard:
one would need to be pretty naive to think mr geller was anything but a fraud, even his manager said so, but like lisa says, people believe what they want to believe. what did you get from the easter bunny this year?

"play a song for me" wrote dylan in 'tambourine man' - and why not!
new clip from the recent 'concert' of an old grave dodger who knows no shame.

Hi Geoffrey.

Glad to know you're well and enjoying a few glasses of wine, I'll raise an Amarone to you later... I always enjoy your youtube videos and your art work. Keep posting!

I just posted another new Dylan song on the 'Other Music' thread. Nice to see him coming up with new material for you.

so-called Geoffrey wondered publicly

to solongleonard:
what did you get from the easter bunny this year?


the bastard bunny ran up to me and bit me, shouting in a typical deep rabbit voice "here's Mick's Omatosis for you!".
I responded "oh, you think you are so clever with word-play, like the curly haired TV detective "Hutch". Unlike the Cohen obsessed few remaining really old posters here, the rabbit stopped dead in appreciation and continued his throaty conversation(which is cool for a dead animal) saying, "wow, you are really funny".

Then BB (Bastard Bunny) (not Brigitte Bardot), in a BB (blatantly bad) anti semitic move forced me to eat a BB ( baked bagel) making it a sad and sorrowful ending to this year's Passover Festival (check rumours that Cohen was once Jewish) where BB (bread be) not permitted. Luke (2) 4:6-7 " Luke four he has risen". So had the bagel and I had eaten only unleavened Matzoh for 8 days, according to custom, until so-called Geoffrey sent his animal to attack me. In the subsequent court hearing against the Mohammed Ali obsessive, (he was charged with GBH Grievous Bunny Harm),the enfeebled Geoffers could only raise the weak defence that he had simply misheard my request for a Rabbi.

Ponder words, ye all, take joy from them. They be not like paintings which are gone in minutes (see for example, the Life Story of the Parisian burglar Vjeran Tomic, a nice chap whom I once met at an accidental Christening).Please note the proper spelling of Christening as it took place in London, and therefore the ceremony was Capitalised, according to costume.

New batteries...

Hutch wasn't curly haired, he was the straight haired blonde guy.

And if it's written in the moonlight, who can argue!

GBH- Grevious Bunny Harm. Well I suppose they don't get as much fun out of it!

Just for you Solong

Just a few quick questions solong... How can you have an accidental Christening? I can understand an accidental conception (these things happen)... What was spiderman doing at said Christening, and what did you do with the 5 paintings?

Are you sure you were in Hollywood? Starksy naked sounds like a Russian to me.

Me thinks your id can never be mistaken.

There used to be a couple of guys round here that made sure this was never a humour-free zone. One wrote some great parodies. Wonder what happened to them?

HORRIBLE. YOU ARE SO ANTI RUSSIAN. THIS WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL VIRUS. DON'T LISTEN TO LITTLE GEOFFREY. I HAVE A DRUG, IT'S CALLED ASPIRIN. IT ONCE WORKED ON A LITTLE FINGER WHICH WAS ACHING YOU SHOULD TRY IT. I AM NOT SAYING IT WILL WORK BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL DRUG

That is a really lovely presentation. I am proud to be your friend and hope you had a good break xxx


On a more typical solongleonard note, the Led Zeppelin version of this Cohen classic appears to have different words and music but I can still hear Leonard drumming away as he did, and you copied in your performance. See if any of you can spot the difference. Karen, Lisa? I am bored out of my fucking head and I am even thinking of introducing humour into this sombre forum.

And here are Le(onar)d Zeppelin singing Mr Tangerine Man

...I am bored out of my fucking head and I am even thinking of introducing humour into this sombre forum...

I have always found sombreros to be humourous! However, I hate to break it to you, solong, but this is not, actually, a sombrero forum, it is a Leonard Cohen forum. Olé!

All of them apart from the theme park, I know where that is.

I prefer Tangerine singing Leonard Cohen

I am bored out of my fucking head and I am even thinking of introducing humour into this sombre forum.

Boredom is never a good thing! I feel mischief in the making!

I found that from an early age there's something very flawed
at attempting to amuse oneself just because one's bored.
They say the devil will make work for very idle hands
though I found I don't need his help when making dubious plans...

While sitting in the classroom my attention span was tried,
alas it was found wanting as a fountain pen I spied.
The teachers skirt was baby pink, the pen flew like a plane,
landing almost silent unlike the swish of bamboo cane.

I thought it would be such a laugh and make my mothers day
so I gave her the wrong numbers for the lottery she played.
I thought that she would see the joke but this was not the case
she gave a cry, went ghostly white, then fell flat on her face.

When helping to write greetings cards I had a sudden whim,
an obscene verse I would compose and slyly slip it in.
Convinced someone would check them and we'd all have such a hoot.
5,000 cards were printed, and I'm given the boot.

So if you're bored out of your mind and can't find things to do,
don't let the devil tempt you or mischief will ensue.
I could go on, and on, and on, though you must see the point,
if idle hands lead you astray, stay strong, and roll a joint!

Oooh I haven't done that for a while (the poem not the joint)...

[Geoffrey]

hello dears.
returned home from the weekend retreat a short while ago.
will write a few words later. in the meantime a little notebook updating

Hi Geoffrey.

Glad to know you're well and enjoying a few glasses of wine, I'll raise an Amarone to you later... I always enjoy your youtube videos and your art work. Keep posting!

I just posted another new Dylan song on the 'Other Music' thread. Nice to see him coming up with new material for you.

hi karren. listening to dylan is one of life's greatest pleasures, and a new song greater still. thank you for nudging me there. my appreciation for the nice words you write i must also quickly add, because they warm the heart. "keep posting", you write - i will try to do so for a little longer.

this gallery was started at a time when creativity in this section was at an all time low. messages were few and far between, mostly endless lists of names that meant nothing. so sad. as far removed from the thoughtful work of leonard cohen as one could possibly get. a desperately frustrating period; something different needed to be tried. it is important to keep leonard's spirit alive, let his work inspire - not only in this forum but everywhere. i now love coming here to see the latest humour, intelligence and entertainment currently on display by posters who eagerly interact with one another. you are a small but beautiful circle of friends xx
