Make it your own? Ain't that a little hackneyed, Mart?

He is full of shit.

@postalsock and there's an Emerson quote that's now a cliche too, about "a foolish consistency..." which you and many of the other commentors might bear in mind (oops, there's another one)
-
And then he says, by way of explaining the 'war against cliche...' one must 'make it your own' which is, of course, a tired cliche.

@jismith1989 Ha excellent! Well spotted. "An act against clishé?" then Amis corrects, "a war against clishé."

thinking aloud i am. stand up comics are filling stadiums, i hear, with there observational wit. why is this? lots of reasons i imagine, but one i suspect being that novelists of thepast 30 odd years dont ever nail it, never THAT funny. saw a 3 minute stand up routine that was inciteful, hilarious(well it would be, wouldnt it) took listener in unexpected directions and had message about the porn industry that mullered amis' multi paged ramble on the subject in yellow dog
