   Why does the fucking camera need to show the interviewer so often, with her in-the-know nods and asinine shrugs?

   Hey, does anyone know if it’s Mean Week?

    Still think there’s a >50% chance that “Belinda Luscombe” is Tracey Ullman.

    –or did you mean the grey-haired speaker?

    the aggressive chuckles are extra-extra

    why is emotive-robot talking selected for on tv

    Is belinda one of those girls from those british porn clips of small penis humiliation that are all five minutes flat? Her gestures seem to indicate as much only she’s way more humiliating, she should get into the biz. Also, did time-travel to ask that gay question?

    *did SHE

    not to patronise you with tv editing 101, but those are most likely there so they can edit ashbery’s answers down without it looking jumpy. i felt interested when i found out that knowledge so i thought you might too. weeeeeeeeeeeeee

    me too. writers would actually be cool to hang with if they were more like ashbery and less like ughhhhhhhhhhhz.

    damn. this is pretty cool.

    i was surprised to hear that he thinks poetry is more popular now than it was when he was younger. ive always thought it got less popular. damn. is it really more popular.

    also, if john ashbery cant make a living off poetry, can anyone? jesus.
