7 bleed him poppers and coke and tell slim fey shouldn’t possibly lop at brother nervous vacation

  1. I didn’t even glow/know there was such a dang as “Geography Thursday.” WTS? (What the Suck?) OK, I’m game.
  2. Is it true you have to be removed from a location to write about it? Because that smells like dung beetle dung or someone reading A Moveable Feast while sitting in a coffee shop looking at eyes or maybe a conference answer to a hang-tongue/clam-eye question.
  1. Ever wrote in front of a mirror or a large window? Do tell.

  1. What is Southern lit? I don’t know. You get knocked down. Black holes burnt into a map. There is moss and gonorrhea. You scramble back up but don’t know your mind. What you were was it worth reaching fer? You can’t tell your Bad Faith actions from your authentic mind. It’s all a low fog, over soybean fields and the jawbone of a deer. You get knocked down. Why scramble up for something you might hate? Why return to your own spent virus/kudzu vine? Oak limbs. Several doors, later plated in gold and writing. A speech. Your home is a hole. There are other definitions aloose I spose.  I couldn’t answer. Add cathead biscuits.
  2. Do you like to read first at a group reading or last or not at all or more like: who cucking fares, dude?
  3. Ain’t many links in this post, but fuck it.
  4. A friend of mine in MFA/grad school said she enrolled for one reason: “To get laid.” (Her words) Is grad school a great location for getting laid? I mean more than working at Chili’s or enrolling yourself in law or culinary school? Why/why not?

      I think the ‘Lay’ question is a matter of what’s at stake, the pressure one might be feeling.

      Lawschool: superintensecan’tdarelookatyoulaterlay.

      Chili’s: after a double on the weekend in the cooler, fantastic fucking short lay.

      Culinaryschool: not a bad warmup for your disappointing job at Chili’s lay.

      MFA: really, is there anything at stake at all to make it worth it? howabout: 30000 grand’s got to get me something lay.

  2. Mike Meginnis

      I am married to a fellow MFAer so it is a bit beside the point for me, but it seems like an incredibly easy environment to get laid in, yeah.

  3. Daniel Bailey

      4. lol

  4. Jimmy Chen

      re:4, per the link, i’m assuming this laying is happening in alabama. it’s easy to lay/get laid in alabama. ppl. got low[er] standards there. talkin’ shit/shouldn’t talk, dunno.

  5. jereme_dean

      no woman has to enroll in anything to get laid.

  6. Sean

      I think Alabama’s “get laid” statistics aren’t so off from elsewhere, JC.

      Do you have a database?

  7. Sean

  11. jereme_dean

      You are funny Sean. You always pose questions, acting like you want an answer, then dismiss any answer you don’t care for.

      I bet that’s a great teaching technique.

  12. efferny jomes

      there you go

  17. Big Jim Slade

      You get laid if you’re good. No one wants to fuck you if you’re shitty.

      Best sex I ever had was w/ a girl I met at my MFA program in California. She was Filipino and even though it was over a decade ago I can still toss one off to the thought of the magical things she did with me skinstick and her wonderpuss.

What you were was it worth reaching fer? You can’t tell your Bad Faith actions from your authentic mind.

      Southern Lit is a half case of beer on ice in the back seat.

  23. brittany

  24. Charles Dodd White

  25. deadgod
