Incorrect Quotes with Spaul and Friends #4, 5, and 6

Source: All three are ones that were featured in Thomas Sanders’ “Sanders Sides Incorrect Quotes” video, as complied here! I’m pretty sure the quotes themselves are just “generic” incorrect quotes, so to speak lol

Quote #4

Clem: …You shouldn’t be using a straw.

Spaul: I KN0W. 1T’S [[Bad Guy.mp3]] F0R THE [[go outside and touch grass]] OR WH4TEVER.

Clem: No…it’s just a really weird way to eat spaghetti.

Spaul: …*slurping noises as he drinks the sauce*

Quote #5

Coral: Oh goodness~It’s a little muggy outside today…

Saffron: …If I go outside and see all of our mugs on the street, I will be leaving for work and I will not be helping you.

Coral: *awkward smile…followed by sipping her morning coffee from a shallow bowl*

Quote #6

Eileen (pointing to the Cyber Grill): Hey, can you get us a table?

Spaul: SUR3!!!!

(A few minutes pass…)

Spaul, while running towards Eileen with a table in hand (somehow): ST4RT [[running in the 90s]]!!!!

Eileen: *does so posthaste*

The last one could easily be Spaul with Navy or Spafnir as well but Eileen was the first that came to mind 🤷‍♀️

#(yes coral does indeed have a playful side! I just haven’t had a chance to show it until now lol) #(hope you all enjoyed this trio of incorrect quotes!) #(if anyone has any suggestions for any feel free to IM me or send them as asks! I shall use them and properly credit you) #STRING PULLER-out of character

“That’s a nice drink” “She’s got some shaky hands” “Oh I suppose that’s on purpose. Ok then” “Why don’t you ask for the drink separately but you want to be a cunt about it” Spouse paused the episode, went to the basement, and got a knife. “It’s the same fkn knife. Made in Boulder, Colorado” “Hers was re-profiled, but it looks similar. Eileen would have a bigger knife” “She’s the deaf one, and you didn’t hear that one coming?” “She went hunting without him? What’s up with these people going hunting alone?” “Is it a brownie recipe? Oh I see” “or flaccidness. They’ve been talking about dick the whole time” “that’s definitely how you greet someone at the door” “Can you imagine the Girl Scouts selling cookies, banging on your door, and saying they know you’re in there” “the whole colonel sanders vibe.

Looks like cedar chips, but I’m not sure’ “Easily the best throne they’ve had so far” “2nd time they’ve mentioned amazon. Were they trying to get picked up by amazon?” laughter

“Isn’t that kinda redundant?” “oh hey bitch” “what the fuck? It’s the same dude” “huh” “how’s they get back? Did we cover that?” “does he not trust Eileen?” “it’s so red. Why is it so fkn red?” “Michael just vaporized that lady” laughter “that’s funny” “ominous” “why is this camera view all creepy and behind the balcony fence?” “bro you need some chapstick” “they had it all planned out” “are they both wearing black?

The Manic Boys And Girls Club - Blacked out

The Manic Boys And Girls Club is a Toronto indie pop/rock duo consisting of siblings Bela and Fernando Ferreira. Raised strict catholics, children of immigrant parents, sent away to live in rural Portugal with their grandmother (who had previously been a catholic nun); The Manic Boys and Girls Club is more than a band. It is an escape from the submissive existence that was the siblings' reality, an escape from the disposable music packaged for the masses, and an escape for any misfit looking to join the club. With stories to tell, and voices demanding attention, The MBG Club crossed paths with award-winning producer Gavin Brown (Glorious Sons, Billy Talent, Mother Mother) one late night in Toronto. “My sis and I play music, you gotta hear our stuff” was how this relationship and EP were born. This EP is a collection of five songs recounting the two loners' experience touring in a van, relationships and bad habits. Blending lush synthesizers with overdriven guitars, The MBG Club successfully take you from an indie dance party to the feeling of an arena filled with an ocean of followers; but most importantly, away from reality for the duration of this debut EP. With the next chapter of songs already complete, The Manic Boys And Girls Club see no downtime in the near future. As the world opens up, a tour and a changed generation will follow.

Alan Garmonsway's Forthcoming album ‘Seasons and Circles’ is here

Hi! How about the "it wasn't me, i swear" prompt for my man Dick? However you'd approach that, whether x reader or with one of your OCs (Eileen is my fave so if you wouldn't mind the pairing, I'd be so down for it)! Thank you ♥️

A/N: I haven't quite decided on a romantic pairing for our lovely Eileen, but I loved the idea of exploring her relationship with Winters in this! Thanks for requesting! Readers, you can say hello to Eileen here.

Also, this is so short. I’m sorry!

Eileen can feel the tension as she enters the building where Captain Winters' pseudo-office is. She has a whole stack of telegrams and reports and while her runner duties have been reduced a bit lately, the recent rescue of the Brits has ratcheted it up, at least for now.

She runs into Zielinski on the stairs. She's met him once before, when Winters was first promoted. Judging by the look on his face, his job has not gotten easier.

"Sanders," he says, tersely. He doesn't wait for a reply, turning sideways so he can get by her.

At the top of the steps, she shakes her head before getting ready to greet the Captain. He's reading something, his brows furrowed. She can tell by the set of his shoulders that he's irritated.

"Whatever it is that’s got that look on your face, it wasn't me, I swear." She jokes quietly.

He looks up, surprised. "Oh, Corporal Sanders. I didn't hear you come up."

"Zielinski was making a swift getaway - he probably drowned me out."

There's a brief moment where she thinks he might smile. A semi-awkward silence follows.

Eileen clears her throat. "Uh-- I have these for you, sir, from Regiment--"

He holds out his hand. "Thank you, Sanders. Sorry, I'm-- a bit tired." He admits. "It's been a long few days. Anything pressing?" He gestures at the stack she hands him.

"I put the priority reports on top. Everything else is just news. There's something for Nixon too, but I couldn't find him."

Winters hums. He's already reading, eyes scanning the paperwork in front of him. Eileen resists the urge to speak out of turn. He just-- he looks like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders.

“Sir?” She asks, and this time, he looks at her. “Can I-- can I help? Or get you anything? I just--” She flaps her arms about a bit uselessly. “I have some time, and I...” She trails off, shrugging.

He looks a little bewildered. She doesn’t blame him. They don’t know each other, not really. Obviously their paths have crossed, but until recently, she spent much more of her time with Nixon and not Winters. 

She likes him though, and can tell that the men respect him. She wonders how he feels about being stuck behind a desk.

Finally, he sighs. “How are your typing skills?” 

Feeling like she might finally have something to do besides stand there awkwardly, she smiles. “What kind of well-bred lady would I be if I couldn’t type?”

That’s how Nixon finds them, almost an hour later. He stops at the top of the stairs, coffee in hand. “You have a secretary now?”

Eileen arches a brow. “Excuse you?” 

“Eileen, if you wanted to see me, you could have just said.” Nixon continues, coming inside and sitting at one of the chairs in the room. 

“Did you need something?” Winters asks him, looking like he’s trying not to laugh. 

“That’s a fine how do you do. Do I need an excuse?” 

“I’m dictating.” 

“I can see that. Dick.” Nixon stands, coming around the desk to look over Eileen’s shoulder. “Don’t let anyone else know you’re doing this, or you’ll never have a free moment again.” He says to her, genuine warning in his voice. 

“Speaking of free moments, I think I’ve overstayed my welcome.” Eileen says, stretching a little as she stands. “I think that’s the last of it, if you’re happy with it, sir, I can take it back with me.” She says, looking at Captain Winters. 

“I appreciate your help, and your company.” He says, looking a little red around the ears.

Nixon looks positively delighted. 

“Leave him alone,” Eileen chides, her voice quiet. “Don’t get into any trouble while I’m gone,” she says a little louder, tone overly-pleasant. 

“Thank you again, Corporal.” Winters says, his smile much more warm than it was when she first arrived over an hour ago. 

She finds herself feeling much more warm too, as she makes the trip back to Regiment, thinking to herself that she may start to enjoy ferrying reports a little more if it means more run-ins with Easy Company.

Maybe you’ve had the same experience, you go looking for a book you are sure someone must have written only to find that no such book exists. No one has written it yet. A few years ago, I wanted to learn more about the interconnections between the early days of punk rock and the poetry scene in New York City in the Seventies. This, in part, grew out of research for a project. I was searching for information to help establish a backstory timeline for the poet-professor parents of the protagonist of my novel-in-progress Gangs With Greek Names. I was also just curious. I wanted to learn more about the era of my high school years, learn more about what was going on in the big city twenty miles west of the Long Island burb where I grew up. I knew Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, and Jim Carroll were all involved in the scene centered around the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church on the Bowery in their pre-rock ’n’ roll fame days. I wondered how much overlap there was between that scene and the nascent punk scene centered around CBGB. Proto-punks Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg of the Fugs and Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground also had roots in poetry. Surely someone must have explored those connections and written a book about it. I imagined something along the lines of David Hajdu’s Positively 4th Street for the punk generation. Daniel Kane’s “Do You Have a Band?” Poetry and Punk Rock in New York City is the book I was looking for back then. I’m glad someone’s written it. Too late to help with my novel’s backstory timeline (cobbled together instead from other sources) but a pleasure to read just the same. Kane explores the influence New York School poetry had on punk rock and the influence punk rock had on some second-generation New York School poets. Admirably, Kane never strives to clarify distinctions and divisions between one scene or tendency and another to the point of distortion. He helps us see as clearly as possible through the muddy waters without ever pretending they aren’t muddy. So much of any scene is an ongoing act of self-creation among its participants which is weakened once a marketable name is pasted over it. One could argue that punk died the day it was labeled punk. Post-punk was born and lasted until it was labeled “post-punk,” I guess. True sailing is dead! Kane lays out the premise of the book in his introduction after acknowledging the more widely-known influence of the Beats and earlier figures such as Rimbaud on rock and roll:

“Do You Have a Band? Does not deny that there are resonances between the band Television and French symbolism, the rhetoric of punk rock and Situationist International slogans. But what about the work of poets who actually shared New York City’s Lower East Side streets, mimeographed pages, and stages with the pioneering figures of punk? How did downtown writing and poetics of the 1960s and 1970s make their way into rockers’ music and approach to art? Musicians in bands from Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg’s Fugs through the Jim Carroll Band were as influenced by and productively critical of the writers living all around them as they were by and of authors from the distant and not-so-distant past.”

Each chapter focuses on a key figure or figures in the overlapping terrain between proto-punk or punk and the poetry scene – Ed Sanders and the Fugs, Lou Reed, Richard Hell, Patti Smith, John Giorno, Eileen Myles, Dennis Cooper — with cameo appearances from the likes of Kathy Acker, John Ashberry, Ted Berrigan, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, Lydia Lunch, Robert Mapplethorpe (whose question to Eileen Myles provides the book’s title), Bernadette Mayer, Thurston Moore, Alice Notley, Frank O’Hara, Anne Waldman, Andy Warhol and many others. The afterward focuses on what may be the most direct link between (second generation) New York School poetry and punk rock, Jim Carroll’s classic anthem “People Who Died,” inspired by his friend Ted Berrigan’s poem of the same name. There are quite a lot of funny moments illustrating the interpersonal tensions and aggravations present on any creative scene. Andy Warhol asks John Giorno, “oh, John, why does it have to be so boring,” at a poetry reading by Frank O’Hara and others in a crowded gallery. There was no microphone and half the audience couldn’t hear a word of it. Eileen Myles tells about a chaotic poetry reading she and friends gave in a laundromat. Richard Hell confesses the shameful truth – he was a Dylan Thomas fan – and then goes on to compare Thomas’ poetry to a Led Zeppelin arena show. Me, I love Dylan Thomas, unapologetically.  But then I wish I’d gotten the chance to see a Led Zeppelin arena show too, so… Anyhow, I don’t have to choose between him and Frank O’Hara and neither do you, dear reader. I don’t care what anybody says. Resist the false binary wherever you find it. It was interesting to get a better sense of the dynamic between another Dylan Thomas fan, Patti Smith, and poet Anne Waldman, who was at the center of the St. Marks scene at the time. I’d wondered about that occasionally, if they got along, how they got along. That seemed like ripe territory for a diva battle of epic proportions, so it was interesting to read about Smith’s letter to Waldman describing what she liked and did not like about the Poetry Project. In a sense, Do You Have a Band? may be seen as the third volume in a trilogy following Kane’s previous informative books All Poets Welcome: The Lower East Side Poetry Scene in the 1960s and What Is Poetry: Conversations With the American Avante-Garde. Recommended reading for anyone interested in learning more about the various interconnections between poets, musicians, and artists in New York in the sixties and seventies.
