if you look real close you’ll notice it’s not actually upside down. it is a combination of international characters and western letter characters (a n is used to show an upside down U).
hey jimmy in your list of tom hanks movies why dont you have saving private ryan? that shit starts in the ocean. it would come between cast away and splash.
Jeff— that was amazing. thanks for sharing. finally getting to see trash humpers next week and this has me that much more jacked for it.
Joseph Young— i quite felt the suffereing of thaddeus, and others, and felt empathy toward him. was what made the book best for me. but some of yours are good points to make, though might, maybe, could use some fleshing out.
Joseph Riippi— Re: Daniel Quinn, I have to admit that the first time I read ‘Ishmael’ it blew my mind. Granted, I was 13. But it remains on the shelf of “those books” with Knowles’ *A Separate Peace* and Gary Paulson’s *Hatchet* and every Calvin and Hobbes...
d— I guess “but it’s funny!” stops working for me at some point. Of course, the patronizing “critiques” of hip hop are the other side of the same coin, especially all the family values/role of the father conservative shit.
David Backer— The one premise I can offer to justify my “whining” is this: In Jones’s book, and a lot of writing I’ve been reading online, there is a lack of engagement with extant-real systems of human organization: economies, households, cultures, societies,...
Richard - Zine-Scene— I thought Shelley was really nice when I saw here. She stayed around after the reading and talked with a bunch of people and seemed really laid back… It might have been because she was hosted by the University of Alabama faculty, who are really laid back too.
mimi— Or maybe someone slipped some MSG into my dipping sauce.
