I want to know about the relationship between Dave Winer and that little bird that’s always whispering in his ear.

Now, Dave told us that he’s the canary in the coal mine (or was it gold mine?), warning us about the iniquity of Google.

Excuse me, but may I ask, what sex was that bird that’s always whispering?

If you tell me that it was a trans-gendered canary, there’s gonna be trouble.

I’m here to tell you that I’ll vomit if I hear one more peep from that little bird.

Dave has been feeding it acid in its kibble for years, that poor bird doesn’t know which way is up, or down.

Somebody please call PETA, while I try to determine if Dave has STD’s, or not.

The prevaricating twit told me he doesn’t, but I don’t believe him.

Dave Winer’s Uncles

Dave Winer used the patriarchal template
to create his persona: the nerdish hipster.

It’s spoiled by his penchant for abusive outbursts,
inevitably followed by an eerie revisionist calm.

Give Winer a fat cigar and some coke,
and you have a reasonable facsimile
of Sigmund Freud,
minus the human insight.

Now, if Dave wants to do some really serious
myth-creation, a la Mark Twain,
he needs to write his autobiography.

Just stuff it as full of bullshit as possible,
like a hot sausage into its casing,
till its near bursting…

and be sure to throw in a few statuesque “babes”,
Dave.

Who knows?

Maybe you can even work Joan Baez into it, somehow.

Will you put Leonardo di Caprio in it, for me,
please?

Say thank you, Dave, to your Uncles Arno and Vava.

The Dave Winer uncles, Arno Schmidt and “The Great VavaVoom”, were egoists who paid the price for their presumption.
The Cosmic intellectuel duel is played out in the fabric of space/time.
Albert Einstein’s insights, many arrived at by thought experiments, point to a truer understanding of the Cosmos.
The panoply of alternative scripts for every little play of action might reside in the Multiplex of shadow branes(sic).
Incredibly, it seems that one of the Luciferian (Light-bearing) icons of this Age achieved his Apotheosis by an Effort of Will that even Schopenhauer
would have been proud of.
This is why I love James Dean.
David Winer’s uncles Will have to settle with him.

Dave Winer had a German great uncle, Arno Schmidt, who developed a Joycean theory of writing. Brian Lennon referred to his “hyperrealism- the meticulous moment-by-moment capture of experience”, which sounds like the inevitable movement of Winer’s transmissions to near ubiquity.

With David Winer, the subtext of every dispute seems to be that he regards himself as a saviour of the human race, so “…shut up insect, how dare you contradict the Lord of the Blogosphere! Now sit down like a good little drone, and let me instruct you in “The Way It Really Is” “.

I was shocked when I read his piece on transcendental money. The perfidious nephew dusted off one of his uncle “The Great Vava Voom”’s raps, polished it, and attached his own name. Knowing Ken “Vava” though, he probably wouldn’t concern himself too much over it. He practiced extreme conservation of personal energy.

Funny post. Love Farley.

I really, truly, am not disappointed that I didn’t get a Foo invite. I was just tired of answering an IM every 5 minutes about whether or not I was going. Carry on.
