YOUR LIFE SUCKS, WHY NOT TRY TO BECOME A CHARACTER IN MR. TYREE’S NOVEL

yo yo yo. this was recently brought to my attention. nate tyree, author of the book “BLOOD MERIDIAN” i think it is, is auctioning off the opportunity to be a character in his next novel. you can bid on ebay. go here for the information. apparently, the book is guaranteed to be published in a year. fancy fuckin that.  i hope that guy who played “al borlen” on “tool time” wins.

      Good luck, Nate, seems like a cool idea. If my home equity loan wasn’t ass rapaging me, I’d put in for something like this.

      Surely ebay would file a lawsuit if you called it that, and if you called it that people might be expecting a non-fiction book or a novel entirely about ebay.
      Anyway I keep seeing the price slowly going up, so well done on that.
      I would think you have a good chance of getting it published by a publisher.
      Have you got any interest from indie publishers yet?
