Bankruptcy
 

Is the debtor-to-be ncs' ex? Perhaps she is entitled to half of the proceeds?

Book Club
 

She is famous bc she was Rachel for most of our twenties and thirties. Also, she was in OFfice Space. She got royally jacked and has taken the high road. She is a model for us all.

That said, her mouth looks a little odd on the cover and her eyes are too close together.

I wasn't going to say this, but its time. The penis of an ex of mine was nicknamed "The Club". I remember after the first time we made love and were lying nude in bed afterwards, and the club shurnk, the guy said that "The Club has left the building". SO I am not really comforatable with calling you Club.

I could easily find out, but whats in it for me? A Serb update might do it.

No offense, but this may well be the reason why others of us will continue to call him exactly that, with renewed amusement.

Bunny, is that you? I want my Crowded House CD back.

I already picture him to be a club shaped, bald headed man with a ring or two of flab around him.

It seems that I am the only one with issues here so let's do this. Everyone start reading "Until I Find You".

Don't be so hard on yourself. Many people here have issues.

I'll read the book, but I'm making no promises that I'll be done by mid-September. Way too many out-of-town guests and the like during this period. I'll shoot for it though.

Hank already has that one.

Unlike you, I have no life. You live in the entertainment capitol of the world, and I live among rabbits and apples. I will be probably done much quicker. We may start before you finish, but that is the price you pay for all your frolicking and socializing.

Let me know when and if you select an author that doesn't suck.

I understand and I'm aware that this is one of the risks of the frolicking and socializing lifestyle. However, I will give it my best effort. Let me know when you have read Collapse and we can discuss that one as well. Try not to get discouraged during the Nordic Greenland part - it does get better again after that.

I just read a review of that book. Here's my favorite part:

The Flying Spaghetti Monster Ate Them All
 

Hmmm, a political, ad-hominem critique of a scientific theory that attempts to explain some empirically-verifiable phenomenon, like the lack of people on Easter Island. Why does this sound familiar?

First Book Club Reading Assignment
 

That's fine. Did you read the book? Because he stridently argues against the idea that it is about environmental determinism. But, I'm sure you couldn't be bothered to hear his point of view on it.

Who the fuck are you people? Haven't you heard of TV?

1) I never even heard of the book until now.

2) Here's the full review - its from a journal http://www.staff.livjm.ac.uk/spsbpei...-34_Peiser.pdf

3) And no, I cannot be bothered to hear his point on it.

[Inhale deeply] Hmmmm. There's a fluffernut of Rich Lowry, a soupçon of Mike Ledeen, an undercurrent of Novak.

Let me guess. Drudge!


Edited to add: So let me get this straight. You'll read a 29-page review of the book written by a pointy-headed professor across the pond, but you cannot be bothered to read the book upon which this was based?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster Ate Them All
 

At least four of us want to read the enw Irving, who does not suck. However, if people would either or also like to read a non fiction, the book the Devils Teeth, which is about remote islands and great white sharks, is supposed to be a delightful romp. If that is of interest to anyone. I pllan on reading both but I need to know which to read first. Right now its Irving.



Unless any Jewesses out there care to join me in reading the Modern Jewish Gal's Guide to Guilt, which I fear i may not be jewish enough to fully appreciate but I love Rebecca Goldstein.

This may motivate me to finish up and move past the Norse section too.

I can't even be bothered to read the portion of the review that Slave cut and pasted, but I sense its a whole lotta psuedo intellectual elitist blabbabooeeeieee! No offence.

Dear Spanky,
 

Please do me a favor and get IM. I would like an uipdate about your serbian sexpot.

Your friend,

Paigs

Why the hate?

Book Club
 

Its the club imagery. And back when I had my first real job after college, there was a guy who looked like a penis in my office. Everyone thought so. That is what I picture when I picture you. A penisman.

We'll keep your suggestion for the name, but really, priority will go to suggestions eminating from the membership.

Dunno. But if you've read something that boring before and waded past the second sentence of that one, my firm wants to talk to you. Anyone with a stomach that can keep that shit down has a future in our compliance section.

did he have a lot of neck rolls or something?

Paigow is Jewish.

Book Club
 

His head, which was bald, was shaped liek the head of a penis, and the shape of his body was strantgely uniformly penis shaped. I think he must have been a no neck. Just that penisy dome head right into the body. I can picture him perfectly to this day. Wish I had a pic to post

So I havent seen an uncut weiner?

Well, duh! Your eyes would fall out of your head if you had.

Dear Spanky,

Snippy does not make for a clubby board. you know I would never speculate on a lady's past. And even if you had seen one, that would be modified for you, not standard. You would have said that the guy looked like a penis w/ foreskin.

I pay attention.

I can't catch up

1) I hate IM. It prevents me from getting work done.

2) I am going to read John Irvings books first and then Collapse. I would suggest Empires of the Word to anyone. It is a long read but it is fascinating if you are into history.

3) I can't remember the other posts I was going to respond to. Oh I know. Someone said Irving was a bad author. Fiction is all about taste but a Prayer for Owen Meany might be the funniest book I have ever read.

This is a capital crime in Spankyland. In fact, torture is required in these type of cases under the Spankyland consitution.

Geez, I'd think you'd be more supportive of her right to free speech. I'm sure these aren't the kind of puppies who would bother your cats, Spankster, for chrissakes. She's just agitating for reform -- not actually kidnapping the puppies and saving them from their much-deserved fate.

????. If this is a Joke I don't get it.

Way Over the Line
 

It's funnier if one is a liberal and lumps you in with Penske and Hank (no offense). Your original post was a little ambiguous about whether you were protesting the use of puppies as sharkbait (which we'd expect from you, since you seem like decent guy) or protesting the intervention of cheese eating surrender monkey imperialists into the traditions of local fishermen in one of their last remaining colonies (which'd be Penske's expected position, along with a not entirely consistent-with-his-position picture of Hillary and Jaque Chirac torturing a puppy).
