    Style

    Style is the answer to everything.
    A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
    To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
    To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art

    Bullfighting can be an art
    Boxing can be an art
    Loving can be an art
    Opening a can of sardines can be an art

    Not many have style
    Not many can keep style
    I have seen dogs with more style than men,
    although not many dogs have style.
    Cats have it with abundance.

    I have met men in jail with style.
    I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
    Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
    Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water,
    or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.
    - Charles Bulowski

    Thought I'd share that with you this sunny Monday morning. Beautiful.

    Not sure about bull fighting being a style or an art more like animal cruelty ..

    We were in a pub in Spain recently looked round there on the telly was a live bull fight on an the bad man matador was stabbing it with big Speer's into the poor bull. The fans in the stadium were all excited my wife said to the barman she's disgusted at the people enjoying the stabbing of the bull with blood pouring out of its body that shed take a spear and stab everyone in the crowd just to give them a taste of what the bull was suffering ..

    The barman was embarrassed and turned it over he didn't like it either..

    They're held in Slovakia every four years in August Jimmy.

    If you've got Sky Atlantic I think it's on that if you fancy a break from the Olympics. I fancy Finland to do well this time out.

    I usually get "sardine juice" on my shirt after opening those pesky cans

    I reckon the pattern it makes on my shirt could be construed* as art in some places

    They new cans are tricky, I think this poem was written when they had the old cans and before bullfighting was bad.
