How Many Of Rush's Listeners Understand This Cartoon?




Hey, Dittoheads! Go back to school, y'all.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said -- "two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lips, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Ozymandias
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
(1792-1822)

Next question, Dittoheads: Name the poem's structure. (Hint: Count the damned lines.)

Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
Judges 16:19--

Hardcore listeners to Rush "Oxy-Moron" Limbaugh tend to be unable to locate their asses with both hands. Good luck trying to educate them.

I don't think I'm a dittohead but it's a sonnet.

One of my favorites.
