My dad and I have been looking for this for ages so I could read it. It's called THE GASHLYCRUMB TINIES by Edward Gorey. It's a poem/short story about how 26 little children(one for each letter of the alphabet) died :P http://users.aol.com/emarko/gorey.html Click on the tombstones to go to the next page.

T is for TITUS who flew into bits. I do like the Y is for Yorick. The caption of "whose head was knocked in" combined with the tree amuses me. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Oh, I love Gorey! I discovered that book when I was 15. And I painted my eyes black, to look dramatically like those unhappy children ... -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

N is for Neville who died of ennui. I see. —Alorael, who doesn't. This book is, however, the sort of thing that should be mandatory reading for all parents who wish to throttle their offspring for making them read so many distressingly bubbly books.

Bah. I had a friend who had that book when I was like, eleven and being a -ahem- "goth". We all sat around in fishnet armlets and made up epitaphs. Gawd. Also, the phrases 'twisted sense of humour' and "sick mind" bug me, as they are mostly used by people to refer to themselves who do not have either such qualities. Now Scorpius has a twisted sense of humour and a sick mind.

quote:My school has a squadron of gothic cheerleaders. I do not mean that a squadron of cheerleaders at my school is gothic, or that they act like goths, or something like that. I mean there is a group of cheerleaders which literally dances around in dark versions of the school colors with fishnets on their arms to bad counterpop. At school assemblies. I am not kidding. Also, BtI has to be canonized at once. [ Thursday, September 09, 2004 14:55: Message edited by: Fear Uncertainty and Custer ] -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest.

How... depressing. Although it brings back good childhood memories, so all is good.
