A piece of advice.

Claude Debussy sez: If the text of your cut tag is important to the comprehension of your post, you should probably repeat that text under the cut, so that people coming in via a link can understand what you're talking about.

Don't defy Debussy. I mean, look at him. He'd kick your ass.

I don't know, I'm a zillion more times scared of Berlioz than Debussy. Berlioz was hard core.

[pauraque]

Point taken, but did Berlioz share Debussy's passion for LiveJournal etiquette?

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Berlioz wasn't really an etiquette kind of guy, so... no?

[noblerot.livejournal.com]

I dunno if I ph34r Debussy enough. Stravinsky, on the other hand...

[pauraque]

Yeah, I don't think Debussy's music ever incited a riot.

THANK YOU.

Dude, seriously.

YES. A thousand times, yes. I always repeat my cut tag text. It makes me nuts when people don't. Especially when they do something like this:

"And that got me thinking about (cut tag with their very important thought)."

So that when you come to their journal via a link from somewhere else, you end up with an opening sentence that reads:

"And that got me thinking about ." With no other explanation.

Hate that.

[pauraque]

Yes. Worst possible variant.

my brain is so old and sieve-like that I need the cut tag text repeated even if I just clicked on it. (as opposed to linking in from elsewhere).

[pauraque]

Also, a lot of the time I scroll down my friends page opening interesting-looking posts in separate tabs, and then read all the tabs when I'm done scrolling. So it's not like I'm gonna remember what was on all those cuts I clicked.

He looks fierce. I'll try my best in the future!

Well, I know I'm told, now. Given that I mistook the man for Phineas Nigellus, despite the 'Debussy' label, because I am an uncultured swine.

[pauraque]

I just did a whole thing in my head about Debussy going around with a name tag that read SALUT mon nom est Claude because people kept mistaking him for someone else.

*rubs head*

I would not want to piss off Debussy.

Debussy/Karkaroff! OTP!!1

Seriously, can he come and kick the collective asses of my in-laws too?

*slinks away*

[idlerat.livejournal.com]

What's he gonna do, huh, *glance* me to death? (Love the pic)

[pauraque]

You don't know, he might send a herd of angry fauns after you.

[idlerat.livejournal.com]

Faungirls and faunboys, all riled up...

[pauraque]

Now that just sounds porny.

I like it.

[cedarlibrarian.livejournal.com]

I'd listen if Richard Strauss said it (but I do it anyway).

[pauraque]

Ooh, I should get a Strauss icon.

Achille!

[aithopa.livejournal.com]

This post simply pwns. That is all.

(No, wait. I think Satie is the scariest of your icon composers OPAQUE GLASSES O_O)

Debussy going around with a name tag that read SALUT mon nom est Claude because people kept mistaking him for someone else.

Saint-Saens could wear one and it could say SALUT mon nom est Camille et je suis elite and then they could chat and that would be liek teh AWESOME.

Re: Achille!

[pauraque]

An artikle I was recently reading about Satie suggested that he might have been infatuated with young!Ravel.

Composer slash. *rubs chin*
