   I once got laid in the ladies room at the KFC
   does that rhyme?

6. November 16th, 2011 / 12:30 pm Eric A—

   fingers… hello

   I had a roommate once who’d say “Either you talk about it or you do it.”

8. November 16th, 2011 / 1:09 pm AWPTales—

   I’ve gotten a blow job at AWP and made-out with a few women.  It’s not that difficult, mainly because one’s competition is a bunch of 140 lb. hipster dweebs in horn-rimmed glasses.

   So you, like, wear your leather pants and a gold medallion?

10. November 16th, 2011 / 1:20 pm deadgod—

    Your roommate had never known an honest braggart or compulsive self-analyst?  Enviable.

    Unless your neck is as far around as your skull, a super lightweight will knock you out.

    eh not that you would have been an introduction to either personality type ha ha ha

    everyone knows hipster can’t fight well.

16. November 16th, 2011 / 1:51 pm Guest—

    Laid out, maybe.

17. November 16th, 2011 / 1:56 pm deadgod—

    might’ve been a cool honeymoon

18. November 16th, 2011 / 2:00 pm Darby Larson—

    no one has actually ever gotten laid anywhere

19. November 16th, 2011 / 2:09 pm The Author Function—

    My first trip to DC did indeed yield various sexual encounters. 

20. November 16th, 2011 / 2:10 pm The Author Function—

    Er to AWP, which was in DC

21. November 16th, 2011 / 2:25 pm Daniel Bailey—

    for some reason, having sex at awp only seems impressive to me if the coitus results in twins.

22. November 16th, 2011 / 2:28 pm mimi—

    it was a personal credo for her, i think, a woman of few words, and the epitome of discretion  

    oh, sure, we’d talk about ‘it’ , during the (very occasional!) ‘dry spell’ . . . ha ha  & we both steered clear of those other personality types, (so . . . you’re correct!)      

23. November 16th, 2011 / 2:34 pm Darby Larson—

    twins who grow up to be accountants

24. November 16th, 2011 / 2:39 pm Daniel Bailey—

    or actors who follow a similar trajectory to mariel and margaux hemingway (even though they’re not twins).

25. November 16th, 2011 / 2:48 pm mimi—

    just had a conversation about making foie gras at a table in a fancy fucking french restaurant that was way hotter than anything that has happened in this chat room

29. November 16th, 2011 / 4:54 pm Ray Rice—

37. November 16th, 2011 / 11:22 pm Frank Tas, the Raptor—

    Does anyone want to set an AWP casual encounter through this site? Is this getting weird yet?

38. November 16th, 2011 / 11:29 pm Kevin Sampsell—

    This sounds like a cry for help, Broder.

39. November 16th, 2011 / 11:48 pm Melissa Broder—

    It’s definitely not.

40. November 17th, 2011 / 10:30 am reynard—

    A dude sitting next to me at the Amy Hempel reading asked for my number. We had chatted briefly earlier that day when I met him at the Book Fair. We traded numbers and ended up getting together twice, but he lives in Philly, and I live outside of NYC. We don’t talk anymore, but I still consider this to be an AWP success!
