Cut Ups 
- Find a nice broad big texty site, may I suggest suite101.com, alternatively a single text can be cut up to discover new meanings.
- Open a blank text message.
- Run around the site cutting and pasting, as fast as you can, whatever takes your fancy into the text file. Don't do this in order but post right into the middle of previous grabs. Who gives a shit about a few ruptured words? You can also paste the same cut many times.
- When you feel you have enough raw stuff, work through it from the start, deleting stuff and altering capitalisation and punctuation so that it makes sense. Sense is a relative term. You may even wish to change words or write stuff. Hey why not? Its a good idea to be pretty ruthless and delete lots so that you remove what the quote meant in the first place and create new meanings.
- Don't expect to produce stuff of the same quality as if you actually sweated it out. It's easy, OK?
- Obviously this is just a cheap modern update of William Burroughs cut-up technique. All hail Burroughs!!!!
- An example cut up is "Plaice with a chainsaw", a "poem" in this case.
- Similar things can be done in art, its called "collage" and in music where it is called "sampling".
- Make your own cut-ups! Then send them to us! They might even end up in this section!
