This thread is allowing me to prepare the early bouts of the official 2011 Superfuture Mixed Martial Arts Tournament. Still seeking sponsorship from Uniqlo.

I'm all for a fun, friendly e-beef, as long as there is a 100% chance it will escalate to physical violence.

not worst... but how do you get legs that skinny... thats harder to understand than 70s boobs

It's called muscular atrophy, it's a medical thing.

September's gonna be a good month for TV; Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, and Community all back. Plus Breaking Bad still screening, and Underbelly: Razor (for those in Aus).

It's hardly an insult.

^Hahaha thanks for the correction, Gramps! I meant Distant Star (although Amulet is also on the "to read" shelf atm.

Bump......

Bump......

I fuckin hate boat shoes.

You gonna get negged for posting that in worst. We've been through this before. Worst = worst. That is not worst, regardless of how you feel about boat shoes. Plus, boat shoes allow white people to let others know that they could be on a boat at any moment.

This was much better than I was expecting. "Okay you cunts, let's see what you can do now!" Hahahahahahaha...

Quiver: It was an online excerpt from this book;

Pretty interesting article here though:

What can one say about a book that is solely a catalogue detailing the biographies of American men and women of letters who happen to have varying shades of sympathy for Nazi ideologies, all of whom are entirely fictional?

I really liked how Bolaño includes references to some real American authors as well as fictional characters from his other novels, like the Romanian general (from 2666), Eugenio Entrescu. It feels like Bolaño fleshing out the universe in which all of his books are set.

What is the relationship between Harry Sibelius and the novel 2666? I can't help but feel the two are connected in some way. Sibelius' novels is 1333 pages long, he makes frequent reference to actual historical figures (using their real names), just as Bolaño does with partially masked names in 2666. Maybe it's nothing...

The tedium of Epilogue for Monsters was brilliant. So much marginalia of seemingly little importance. The comparison of penis lengths, etc. Are any of these authors/publishers/magazine/books based on actual, consensus reality-dwelling people?

I'll probably read Amulet next to find out more about Carlos Ramirez Hoffman. Is the nature of his avant-garde "artwork" revelaed in more specific terms in Amulet?

Sunny was next on my comedy watchlist. Have to disagree about Community though. Shit is hilarious. I really like all the OTT pop culture references.

Price drop.

Bump (10).

Dat roast.

What the fuck did I just watch?! On that apocalyptic neo-punk medieval futuristic action thriller tip.

Good, shit, respectively.

Buy this shirt.

New Danny MacAskill vid. Or is this guy so next-level that all other riders are just previous-level?
