Did MissPantsBulge accept my invitation to cyber. I decided to go socialize with real people rather than stick around and find out.

The only way this will payoff is if everyone involved with this shit contracted genital warts or leprosy or something. I see no other solution.

Well played.

What the hell's wrong with you, Kotz. Anyway, TRITEC is our most underrated boarder. I wish she posted more often.

So, yeah. TRITEC will be in, no doubt.

The only part of the board non-members can see will be orante in its design; our Super Secret Board for Cool Guys (and Gal—TRITEC is like the only Cool Gal in TSM's history) will be so aesthetically pleasing and visually arresting that you will weep, weep deep, salty tears if you are not invited.

All invites will be conducted via .

Agent and I will start a board that will be invite only. And you'd have to be a registered member just to view the board, so all of you dudes that are jealous we didn't invite you would be even jealouser (that's right, jealouser) that you can't see what's going on. Oh, yes.

Get rid of anonymous posting, too.

Shit, I even started a fucking thread so you guys could take this Real World shit there, but...sodifv 9oejf 90jrf9-vju59j

He's in mourning.

No one said Paris; I stopped watching by that time.

Turns out I was wrong. San Francisco came after London; so that's when I stopped watching. Puck was such an asshole.

I wanted to punch that Austrailian cunt in the face. Or punch her. Both, actually. EDIT: I meant "fuck" for the second "punch." How embarassing.

I'm just gonna be really gay here and say I watched this shit religiously up until the London season. So I stopped watching when I was 15, much younger than most of you that are still watching it now.

Ellis is a little better than Palahniuk, I think, though he can be completely overbearing and heavy-handed with the symbolism. There were some brilliant passages in American Psycho—better than anything Palahniuk would later write—but it's mostly as shallow as the culture it attempts satirizing.

I stepped away from this thread for a moment and came back to see it had six replies. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that KJ Brackish simply triple-posted in it. Douche.

Kotz, I don't wear underwear, so the only thing seperating your sideburns and my groin will be a thin layer of khaki.

STFU, YGL

That's sorta great.

That's cool. I was also speaking to Vonnegut's usually being a quick read; I like books that I have to mull over for a long time. Never really do that with Vonnegut.

Other writers of literary fiction. I cannot suggest any specific examples—everyone should go their own way—but I've encountered enough people who think Vonnegut is the end-all/be-all of writing; usually, they haven't read much else. But I'm a lit snob, so I'm my views are slightly skewed. And Chuck Palahniuk is far too glib and self-satisified for me to stomach; William T. Vollman explores a lot of similar issues, but with a level of humanity that Palahniuk's ultra-hip ironic detachment would never allow. So hey, you dudes should check out Vollmann. I'll warn you that his prose can be denser than Palahniuk's, but the rewards are plenty. I suggest the aforementioned The Rainbow Stories, as well as The Atlas, as a starting point. EDIT: Actually, start with The Atlas. It's comprised of numerous essays of varying length (they're all usually short, though). It's a bit more digestible than The Rainbow Stories.

No, really. Vonnegut should be a gateway writer.

Goddamnit.
