Um… just listen to the video… we can talk about it later… when I finish laughing…
Ladies and Gentlemen I am extremely excited to announce that a request for a post to be read has been made…and it’s actually been produced! I never thought in all my life that those two thing would ever exist together as an item…and I must confess, they’ve made a beautiful baby.
The request was made by Elroy Jones over at elroyjones.wordpress.com for the above titled post; and I am forever in her debt. However, once she hears this I may very well never hear from her again.
And this also nicely coincides with Arthur’s submission of said poem to the brilliance that is wePoets Show It; a community of artists showing their stuff.
Enjoy and Happy Listening!
Trenton Babbage
Pouring My Art Out 
You know babbage sent this to wePoets to eh?!
I am glad I didn’t have to do it… or you…
ahaha!
Did you actually get it? Did I do good?
Everybody is smarter than me… whaaaa….
Only with computers…and maths…
And spelllings
How could I forget.
I don’t know… I always manage to.
We did get it i think you did good Kirsten hasn’t seen it yet..lol!
I shall await her reply…I’m expecting, “What the fuck?!”
ahaha! i’m sure it’s fine!
oooohhhh… bad words….; lalalalalalalalalalal
maybe
I’m pretty sure…
Hey it seems to me you have time to try out the word cloud now… Babbage too
My words are never cloudy! They are crystal clear!
so that’s a no?
No it is not a no… you know?
no
I don’t take prompts promptly.
do you take with a rake,in a house aside a snake?
aside a snake or astride a snake? Because it makes a big difference…
or inside a snake…
You tried that already… just didn’t use a big enough snake… ha.
darn
darn knit
It compliments the written version quite nicely. I should have kept the funny pictures in… I need to put some artwork on the poetshow.
Oops, apologies for the language; I thought this was the post on my blog!
I see no pingback…
It’s not on this post; it’s on the ‘because I care so damn much’ one.
I read it… never have I been so misrepresented…
Exactly! We must bombard her with correctness!
I think I will pay her a visit…
I was thinking about going there with the Seed and agreeing with her about everything, and then going there with Trenton and having an argument with myself!
Dude… do it… but first go see what I replied to that ping back thing…
I can’t read it because the comments need moderating so they’re not shown to anyone else, so we have to wait till she approves us…I’ve written a comment too…
Oh man… I went off…

Ummm… Where to start? In the first place, I am not a ‘she’. In the second place, I clearly say right in the post that the pictures are just something for people to look at when they have finished reading the post I did just before that, and before I post the next one… because it is a series. So where do you go to find the post to which I referred? My blog might be a good place to start.
But no. I assume you just stumbled upon my post on one of the topic pages and decided to read it without going to any trouble to find out what the context was.
You took a post that was part of a very large picture and just looked at one small part of it and decided that the whole thing made no sense. The writing is not terrible. It was, I admit, sarcastic. Because that was the tone that was purposely set in order to make a humorous point. And if ‘damn’ is a vulgar word, I can only imagine that you get shocked quite often while cruising the blogs looking for things to take out of context.
I don’t know who asked you to set yourself up as the arbiter of good taste in blogging, but at least go to the trouble of learning the whole story before you review it. The best part of this is that if anybody does follow your blog, some of them might stop by my blog to see what upset you, and end up getting sucked into my crazy world. So thank you.
Oh, and just so you know, since you claim to be able to spot terrible writing, in the very first line of your own post, the word is ‘to’… it is ‘to’ the point… not ‘too’ the point.
Oh, and I love the fact that right after that you actually brag about the idea of not having to read a ling, boring book. I think this might just explain the problem you are having. Try reading a book now and then. Don’t take one line out of Shakespeare and say, ‘To be or not to be, that makes no sense, where are the tools to tell me how to figure out what that means?’
Wow…you did go off…I went in as Seed and said I agreed with her completely about the tweet and sunset woman! I don’t think I could put anything better than yours anyway; way to fight your corner.
wait… you took her side?
Only so I could come in as Trenton and start an argument…you know I don’t agree with her right?
I was caught up in all this… I did a post… I hope I am not overreacting.
Even if you are – and I don’t necessarily think you are – you’re more than entitled to defend something that has taken a very long time and a lot of effort to build and maintain, when it is so flippantly judged…and judged badly…I’m heading over now to make a serious comment.
I will check it out.
You should have your two personalities argue, and then the one who agreed with her slowly comes around to the light side… ha.
That was exactly my plan! She may just disappear now though…
I don’t want that to happen.
She might become your biggest fan.
You just never know.
I don’t always make the best first impression.
this is what I said –
I hope you can justify your humble, and sometimes too honest of an opinion… Your flippant remarks regarding pouringmyartout – who is a man by the way – are a perfect example of why a long boring book might be a good exercise. Your inability to understand something is not the barometer of its worth; if this is your first day blogging then your failure at finding the relevant posts explaining this one is understandable…your tone however, is not. If you’ve blogged before then you know how to navigate around one. If you do take the time to have a look through the blog you’ll find that your assertions as to the writer’s ability are wrong. But one person’s E. L. James is another person’s Joyce.
Oh wow. Do you always have to outdo me at every turn?
I don’t think I did at all…your Shakespeare comment was priceless!
I get worked up…
It’s your prerogative.
I should take time to think.
You can defend your reaction I’ve no doubt; she’ll have to defend her opinions…she likes wolves; maybe you could photoshop her face to look like a wolf? She’d love you then…
I left two more long comments… or maybe three… I am trying to get her to see my point… and visit my blog… ha!
Don’t smother the poor wee thing!
They were very nice and back-tracky
Where do I look again?
I like it when my fame spreads without me doing anything…
we know! lol
well… I… uh…
YAY! I love Trenton Babbage and His Dancing Cabbages! Your poem was especially well suited to a reading by H. Carmichael, World Famous, Tom Cruise Look-Alike.
I will not have my words read by anyone who doesn’t have at least a passing resemblance to Mr. Cruise.
Reblogged this on Wildersoul and commented:
Ha ha ha ha ha hahaahhaaaha! Oi! I hope there will be many more rrrreadings published!
All you need do is pick one and it shall be done!
possibly…
wheee….
Hmmmmmmm — now you’ve got me going! I am going to think up something for you to read!! hee hee. Will we ever see your face on video? 😉 I actually quite liked the mysterious blackness, and the poem like Star Wars credits rolling into the blackness of space… kind of a “hearing voices in my head” effect, especially with the arguing with self at the end!! 😉
Whatever do you mean? There were two distinct and separate individuals arguing there……! I also have a Scottish Tom Cruise lookalike on my books who would be very happy to read a PMAO post of your choosing; his bio can be viewed here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gp0-MjunGU
and is on my blog here – http://pmaoaudioblog.wordpress.com/tom-cruise-lookalike-readers-biographies/jefferson-grey-mactavish-bio/
Thank you for taking an interest, and as for showing my face on video…maybe once I reach 100,000 views!
Yeah… what he said…
I am confused and now my curiosity is aroused. I will be back to find out who you guys are…. juuuust a couple more posts to sort out at home…
We have heard that one before…
I shall allow it. If you have some time, take a look around pmaoaudioblog.wordpress.com and if you’re still confused go here http://pmaoaudioblog.wordpress.com/unanswerable-questions-answered/ and just ask!
haha… I will go there straight away!
~Confuzzled.
And I want to colour something in…
Please be my honoured guest. I will leave you the key to the shop while I go sit in the sun outside for at least 10 minutes. Then I will be coming to read lots of you… and listen to someone sing…
There is no singing…
Oh, my blog got singing… and dancing… if you included that weird Conan video I did way back when…
Oh my god did I miss that?!
I guess so.
Do you know how many people you are even talking to right now?
Singing… not talking. Actually not even singing yet, I like the guitaring.
I envy you. It will take you a bit of digging even to begin to have a clue about the twisted web weaved here by at least two real people and more than a few made up ones, all bouncing ideas and streams of insanity off one another.
I am not as silly as I look . 😉
You look like a beautiful flower who lacks only a little color… a blush of the cheeks… uh… so to speak… to bring forth the full bloom… and fortunately, you stumbled into the right place, because I am all about the color… Of course if you happen to be a man, that might sound a little bit off-putting… but I am so secure in my own silliness, that I don’t care if my words are misconstrued.
I like colors…
De-confuzzelize yourself immediately!
Right-O. I am out in the SUN. NOW. ^__^
See you singing soon.
You wont see me… I am not in the videos… I just… never mind… you’ll see…
you sound a bit american.
that happens when i sing too! haha
sigh… I am American… he is English, but does a great Scottish accent when he reads my stuff… see… it is confusing…
I never said Scottish. Although I can see how ‘scottish’ and American would make an Irish sounding accent wiht a strange dialect peeking through…
Let me see if I can clear up the confusion… I did not record that video of the reading of the fat cat poem. I wrote the poem, based on the Dr. Seuss one… That video was done by a friend of mine, and Englishman. Who was faking a Scottish accent. He did an entire blog that is nothing but a tribute to my work… because that is the kind of crazy loyalty that I inspire in people.
The thing is, he has an alter ego that runs that blog… that is the Trenton Babbage character. To make it weirder still, he read it as yet another character… a Tom Cruise lookalike…
That poem started off on my blog. Then I posted it… in written form… on a poetry blog. Then ‘TheSeedSaidSo’… that is the real blog of my English friend (not his real name)… added it to the Trenton Babbage blog that is a funny offshoot of my blog… as a video. But then the video also got sent to the poetry blog. And I reblogged that video on my blog because I loved it so much. So I can see why you are confused. I am confused too.
Somehow that didn’t help…. I will pore over it over the next week and draw pictures of all the characters, with names, and blog addresses, and then post it to your (?) his (?) THE unanswerable questions post on someone-or-other’s blog to add to the confusion, if I have a spare twelve hours before you catch up to me! 😉
Thank you actually, for taking the time to let me know who you aren’t. I was wrong, I thought you were a one-man-horde. Seems actually a two-man-horde… my apologies for treating you as the same person. 🙂
Well… we have sort of become one big happy family, so you weren’t too wrong. You just happened to come in during the middle of a particularly weird series of events. And the truth is, I would have actually made a whole other blog as a way to both immortalize and make fun of this blog… if he hadn’t thought of it first… I am that egotistical. I just didn’t want his hard work to be thought of as something I did.
If you look at all the effort he puts into that blog, it is a huge compliment and honor for me. And he bought my novel, had me sign it, and it flew across the world. I now have copies of my first book in England and Poland.
that is really cool and inspiring and I want more. 🙂 I will be back, so sleep well… if you are the one who has finished night shift, and I will catch up again soon.
You just have to decide which of the three blogs to start on first, I guess.
Three blogs? oh – you mean wePoets too?
No… the Trenton Babbage one is really just a joke blog about my blog done by TheSeedSaidSo… you sort of need to go to a comment from each of them… because they are the same person… and click on blog name and then go to those blogs and poke around… after you finish up here, of course… if you really want to figure this whole thing out.
Yes of course I want to satisfy my insatiable curiosity. Even if logically that doesn’t seem possible…
Only the eternal, elemental outflow of crazy stuff could satiate the insatiable… and you just found it… ha!
A series of events as weird as Lemony Snicket?
I haven’t found the particular book in question yet…
It is that big picture of a book on the top right sidebar…
It must be so big, and right under my nose that I didn’t see it. Is it a different one than the one you (or him) built their house with?
That is made out of boxes of… never mind… you can figure it out… I will know when you have begun your journey when you begin to comment on other posts than the cat in the hat one, Grasshopper…
It might be fun to explore that place before you even get to know the original… ha
Excuse me… but this blog is all about me! Get your own mysterious Tom Cruise lookalike Scotsman.
The idea is that one never finishes laughing……never I tell you!!!
That would make funerals sort of awkward.
Well that would easily be overcome by putting a recording of the deceased person laughing in the coffin with the body, so’s you can hear it all the way down.
How can that not have been invented yet.
I’ll have it on sale before you can say “inappropriate”!
Better than those things that just make farting noises. Although I have seen little boxes that make laughing sounds now that I think about it. I just don’t know if anyone has thought to put one in a coffin yet.
I can only imagine that people have thought to put one in a coffin…but it’s a different league to actually do it.
The fart machine would be funny too…
That it would…or the one that says, “Help me! Let me out! I’m not dead!”
Just put a walkie talkie in there and keep the other one…
I’d never wish death upon anybody…but I would like to try that…
Breaker breaker… you got a smokey on your tail…
I might have to make a recorded message like that, but I am going to be burned and spread out all over the place.
Will you have a specific place containing a plaque of some kind? You could put it there.
A tree… by my friend John… I posted pictures of his tree…
A talking tree…excellent…two talking trees, reliving some of the conversations you used to have.
wait… I found the ping thing…
