      Chen’d.

      The only thing that would’ve made this better is if he had said “Chen, OUT” when he finished.

  3. Gian

      That was great. But why’d you take the toothpick out? It was full-on Cobra there for a sec (or was that a match he always chewed on?).

      Another thing: Can we organize a fight thing/boxing tournament? It would be so great. We’ll figure out the seeds, line it all up, and the champion gets his next book published by a sponsor. I know I wouldn’t win (I hate fighting) but I might make it a few rounds. The people I would be most scared to fight are Sam Pink, Jimmy Chen, and Adam Robinson. Between rounds, instead of a girl in a bathing suit holding up a sign, Andy Devine in a trench coat could come in and hold up a big word on a sign, just to set the tone for the next round.

      jimmy, baby, let it go man…

      wasnt the old greenish htmlgiant on wordpress? well it looked better then…

      also. current htmlgiant content:

      “Part drunk, part bee-stung dog. Holding a bottle and a leashed alligator. You ever lived out of a lake? A snake will bite when dead. I’d much rather sit here and look at trees.You smell sweeter than soap. I don’t drink liquor! I fall into… I dip my tongue.”

      really jimmy

  14. jereme

      the part where jimmy explains why a chick isn’t in to him is fucking hilarious.

  15. Stephen

      High road?

  16. jereme

      jimmy was responding to an attack. why is this an issue?

      paul attacked both an entity and individuals. he deserves some sort of response.

      personally, i ever catch madore in public and we are going to have a talk about what he said about paula.

  17. Dan Wickett

      “Between rounds, instead of a girl in a bathing suit holding up a sign, Andy Devine in a trench coat could come in and hold up a big word on a sign, just to set the tone for the next round.”

      Genius

  18. Adam R

      I’ll take all comers. Let’s go all you pieces of shit, I’ll lay you to waste.

  19. Adam R

      Peter Cole KO’d me with one punch to the face.

  20. Stephen

      Jereme–I know this was a response. It just seems unnecessary, that’s all. Something that could’ve been done via email or phone or in person perhaps.

  21. Stephen

      Boxing tournament would be great, though. And based on what I’ve read of Paul’s work, seems like something he’d go for.

  22. jereme

      i think people are sleeping on baumann for this thing. i’ve held that baby in my arms, he is nothing but wire and steel.

      but can we do straight street fighting? like is it cool if i whip my keys around in my hand really fast and try to blind people?

      if so, oh man, let’s do this shit.

  23. jereme

      paul’s initial response was in public.

      ?

      why does it bother you? what is “necessary” in life to say and what isn’t?

  24. Joseph Young

      drops his right when he makes pithy comments about religious scholars.

  25. Stephen

      So you know: I’m not defending Paul, nor am I condemning Jimmy. I could give a shit, really.

      I won’t tell you what is or is not necessary in life, just as I wouldn’t want you to tell me what is or is not necessary in my life.

  26. jereme

      we agree. value systems differ.

      fuck the high road.

  30. alan rossi

      ha. what’s that weird little picture on the right of the screen? the black and white?

      there was a boxing match with a couple authors, craig davidson (who wrote a book about boxing, i think) and some poet. it always feels like boxing (and/or running) is the fiction writers sport, yeah? why? i’m a big fan of what barry hannah and david foster wallace did for tennis. anyway. some physical competition with all these minds of gianters would be fun to watch…

  31. mimi

      re: “Part drunk ….. I dip my tongue.”

      I am a huge fan of the Lovelace language aesthetic. Please don’t change a thing, Professor L.

  32. jereme

      to be honest, sean should be happy he is getting some negative press.

      people sort of neglect him, i feel.

  33. jereme

      the part where jimmy explains why a chick isn’t in to him is fucking hilarious.

  34. tao

  38. Jimmy Chen

      that picture is an acrylic portrait of Obama as jesus that i painted before the election, detailed here: http://twitpic.com/9rg76

  39. barry

      i feel you jereme. some sort of response is justifiable, but not really necessary. one strategy in socrates topoi that really appeals to me is ignoring something that is so seemingly ridiculous and inconsequential that it doesnt merit a response. in a way ackowledging it is legitimizing it, admitting it mat have merit, therefore it may need defended. either way i still love you suckas.

      and mimi, i wasnt dissing seans babble. i am a huge fan actually. he knows that. im just making a point. why is one person’s babble ok and another’s is dissed? seems silly.

  40. Jimmy Chen

      barry, this review was satirical, relax. the old greenish version of htmlgiant was not a wordpress template, but gene’s initial design. peace out.

  41. Blake Butler

      Jimmy,

      You need to practice. Your impersonation of Paul is a little flat.

  49. jereme

      paul’s initial response was in public.

      ?

      why does it bother you? what is “necessary” in life to say and what isn’t?

  50. magick mike

      did you know when i get drunk
      i get really, really excited
      about everything

  51. Joseph Young

  52. reynard

      considered taking ROFL out of metaphor and into reality but i’m babysitting a bunch of sixteen-yr-old and they think i’m weird enough as it is, plus we’re doing kickflips in the classroom

  53. Stephen

      So you know: I’m not defending Paul, nor am I condemning Jimmy. I could give a shit, really.

      I won’t tell you what is or is not necessary in life, just as I wouldn’t want you to tell me what is or is not necessary in my life.

      wow, not what i was expecting (obama as jesus, nice), in terms of content and just how it looks up close. he looks frailer from a distance, more physically imposing up close. thanks.

  61. Ken Baumann

      hahahah

      yeah, my money’s on sam.

      but i used to pay someone to punch me in the head every day for a few months. i don’t know anything anymore.

  62. alan rossi

      oh cool, thanks. it looks like ames handled him pretty easily. there’s a good still where he’s turned davidson’s headgear around.

      barry, fucked that man. what is it with you old hens bottle coddling this prick?

      let’s call madore for what he is: a whiny petty litty bitch.

      madore’s only fame has been garnered in the wake of his tantrums of perceived exclusion from a scene.

      he wined until tao lin finally took notice of him.

      he continuously wines (over a year?) about his lack of prominence in the “htmlgiant scene”.

      the kid is bullshit. fuck him. he needs to learn some life lessons. let that bitch sleep in his house.

      you know i love you, but shit.

      no more breast feeding.
