Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.
Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

Might one suggest that lame criticism which offers no additional insight, inroads or inspiration might be better described as piffle? |

I have nothing to add. I am a limited entity. Look elsewhere for inspiration. I am bereft of imagination. My mind is aging and tired. I am no lion. I am lame. My mind is inexorably linked to my aging body. I am just biding my time waiting until death. I am so feeble I accept that I would rather be inspired by braver minds than mine. |

Surealism tain't nothin more than some drug-guzzling old spic named Dali paint'n devil-inspired images of twisted clocks 'n brains 'n whatnot whilst gettin stoned on on thar Devil's many elixers. Surealism be nothin but the plain testimony of what Satan do tar a human brain with his drug-trickery. Thar destruction of God's greatist work melted 'n twisted by crack, meth, marijuana, heroin, morphine, opium, zanax, LSD, Prozak, PCP, glue-sniffin, gas-sniffin (Chromin fer Abos), 'n ALCOHOL! |

Surrealism? Tony "er... um, er... um" Abbott as prime minister. No idea about broadband or why we need to get up to speed (literally) with the rest of the world. All he knows is that it will be "expensive" to develop. Oh duh. No, the mad mink is certainly no 'tech head" but he sure is a bloody dickhead |

We'll take Tony as PM. As long as the watermelon and homo loving greens lose out. |
