You could send one to Tao/MuuMuu House. That “seems sweet.”
Zachary German. He’ll sell them outside his place.

Gogol has a runny nose, Sartre is feeling queasy, Pynchon has a lot of tears, Melville is about to blow, Alexie has a wounded knee.
to us at spork press. the only thing i’ve read on the giant and elsewhere is that we’re dead. drew needs the tissues. or as an old radioinactive song goes: “if you’ve got problems, go smoke pot with goblins”
Me, at Gray Dog Press. I have a cold.
(Plus I cry a lot).
[…] Need a tissue? | HTMLGIANT […]
Marshall, I dunno about that radioinactive shit. I’m still stuck on the weather report. It’s true, my ass has hurt ever since I left the Burk house, which was some time ago. The toilet paper is so good there. It must be the chickens, or was it the cut off finger collection? Defecating was such a pleasure in that small and hot studio. I was always under the impression that, not one, but may around me were also taking part in my pleasures, like I was participating in some great secret lost in the haze of post-industrial capitalism, a knowledge unavailable to modern man; a prehistoric ritual. Pterodactyl dumpings. Plump tyrannosaurus high life plops… (both great names for book titles, if not porn movies, I’ll say)
I’m for this, but I have to say, it should go to no one asking for it. Asking for it should be an automatic DQ.
jonathan franzen. lot of masturbation going on there.
radioinactive…
damn…
does he still make music…
seems like he disappeared…
To my press because I want to promote it in a way that seems like it’s not promotion.
hey darcon, not a trick question.
what is your press, vladmir?
JT Leroy. Tell him all’s forgiven/have a good cry/come out of retirement.
I just watched Sarah Mclachlan live videos. She was really good.
Can it be toilet paper instead of tissue? We don’t need it as much since Jake went to Lithuania, but we still run out sometimes.
Thanks.
Perhaps it’s too obvious, but Jonathan Safran Foer? To help him plug up his vagina?
Well then you should send a box to Vladmir’s press, because it shows you care, it’s free and this seems to be a limited design.
i will look for a free toilet paper distribution service.
wait until the end of the week; maybe we will have a vote or something? i still dont know what press vlad runs.
OMG this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, you may have to send ME a box of Kleenex, I am so choked up, swept up in emotion and feeling un-mean.
I mean, they have a MAP of SHARING, have you seen it !?!
http://www.kleenex.com/SoftnessWorthSharing/Track.aspx
You can track your own sharing!
You can track sharing by zip code!
I think HTMLGIANT should have the BIGGEST Kleenex sharing thread of all.
This could be HUGE.
Kleenex sharing will become the latest meme.
It will go “viral” (ha ha!)
There will be tee shirts: “I shared Kleenex”.
It will be on Oprah!
There will be a movie!
James Franco will star!
haha, mimi your enthusiasm is infectious. yes, i stared at the map for a while today at work.
ideally, we will pick a place/person to send a kleenex and all of us will send the kleenex at the end of the week? does that seem fun?
And Drew Kalbach’s pic should become a meme too.
ew
meme week
Wow! Also, he can always use a tissue or two to wipe off the occasional tear from his Ichabod Crane glasses.
That’d be great. Ever since we stopped accepting paper submissions, it’s been dicey on that front at the Spork studio.
nice
:)

Does that sound fun?
Fuck, that’s the most fun thing I’ve heard of in like for EVER.
Franz Wright
zacky germy ain’t that sad
You can betcha if you send them to Artifice, Artifice will DO SOMETHING with them. Something AMAZING. And DOCUMENTED.
Gogol has a runny nose, Sartre is feeling queasy, Pynchon has a lot of tears, Melville is about to blow, Alexie has a wounded knee.
When I first read your comment I thought you were calling my “infectious” “enthusiasm” Artifice and I almost cried into my home-made pasta (increasing my need for Kleenex, of course). But now I realize that………………..
Winner.
Seriously. I’m in. Just tell me where to send the Kleenex, because that sounds fucking awesome. Reminds me of this prank in a way: http://thedailywh.at/post/1381841821/greatest-prank-ever-played-of-the-day-berners-street

right on, chris. we’ll for sure pick someone by end of the week!
That right there. That’s some funny shit.
Also: many. Many fucktard.

I’ve got to go with you on this one. I got all excited when I saw that Artifice was nominated, then I saw that it was Rebekah, and I was like, aw, that doesn’t really count.
i can spell many may if i fucking want to. there are laws and statutes and shit to a person’s right to own their fuckups, you fucking asshole. why don’t you go take your shiny ass and shit into that holy vestibule that is your toilet. wipe with that sweet soft stuff and rethink how mean you are to me as i sit here crying in the dark forest that is my life now like a sad, tired, three legged puppy, desperate, and longing for the luxury of your inspiring and comfortable porcelain shitbox.
i think send it to muumuu house just because tao will twitter/blog about it and then everyone here can be like ‘hehe knew this was coming’, jonathan franzen would just quietly be like ‘wtfs’ and throw it away without telling anyone
inane trend-hate?
keep the ductblotter for HTMLPUNY’s eyesnot
party pooper
Fine, then I nominate Artifice.
We are infected by your infectious enthusiasm.
I nominate TIM because he can make a tissue costume.
skip madore, send them to mather. i’m sure that bitter hunk of shit will love it. or at least his ego will.
i can always use more cum rags. send some my way too.
I vote for me. I have allergies and extra tissue is always welcome. Plus, well, you know
gross.
is wearing glenn beck’s diaper your way of nominating him, meme-y?
Send one to Lebron James, or perhaps to the Miami Heat team period.
The roach that landed in the litterbox before you left waits, in its own desiccated way, for your return.
