As a writer of fiction I thought he was mostly terrible, and a dangerous influence on the young

^^^the first thing alfred soto had to say in the david foster wallace thread

DFW: DANGEROUS, MOSTLY TERRIBLE CLAIMS JERK-OFF

omar thank you for highlighting that, soto's typically sneery dipshittery has been bumming me out whenever i open that fucking thread

beginning a sentence with "as a writer of fiction" pretty much guarantees you are being a douche.

actually, that was poor grammar: I meant I found Wallace as a writer of fiction mostly terrible. But carry on.

I forgot that you can't post negative shit on RIP threads.

i'm so bummed out right now

Alfred have you read Infinite Jest?

Yeah, and maybe I need to reread it in light of several interesting posts. In my twenties I found his tone -- his tussle between formalism, irony, and sincerity -- a real turn-off. Self-exposure was a risk I avoided from favorite writers.

I don't know the answer Ed, sorry. the west side is flyover country.

he means the west side of NYC!!!

ahaha

I found the very first publicity photo I ever saw of DFW in a bandanna reason enough to never read him.

Morbs, stop treading on my heart, you bitter old man.

it's your loss, Morbs

Can we have an "I Love Sex" board?

The idea was presented in this thread, and I think it's a good one. That way could have a place to start all those "TMI" sex-related threads that some people find a bit icky, so people on the main board wouldn't have to complain about them. Also it might provide a kinda more intimate space for those folks who want to discuss these TMI things.

If it happens, I'd certainly volunteer to mod the board.

* No illegal stuff, i.e. no kiddie or animal porn. I think cartoon furry porn is okay though.

not afraid to ask the tough questions.

A friend of mine, who's quite pally with Amanda Palmer, has informed me that the video for her single "Leeds United" (which she attended the shoot of) contains gay men snogging in Leeds United FC shirts.

This is probably the greatest thing I've ever heard.

Sounds more complex but probably not as good as the Evil Dead extended cut a friend did.

oh wait i thought that was a latebloomer post

He was my grandfather's flatmate whilst still called Marion Morrison. The grandfather in question died just a few days before my 9th birthday (and oddly, very close to the time JW also died) so I never got the whole story, but later my grandmother told me that he'd gone out to LA after college to try his hand at the movies and after a year or so doing extra work, came back and met my grandmother in St Paul. He is in Stagecoach, though.

Palin's career will be over after this. She was a total sacrifice play, and it didn't work. McCain's will be over too, mostly, but primarily because he doesn't have long to live anyway.

One historical inaccuracy I noticed: In a scene that was supposed to be set in 1990, W. complains to Bush Sr. that Bud Selig jerked him around about becoming baseball commissioner before deciding to take the position permanently himself. In 1990 the commissioner of baseball was Fay Vincent; Selig didn't replace him until two years later (as "acting commissioner") and did not become permanent until 1998.

Haha, is this an .xls joke because I know where he drinks? Because I think he mentioned that in a recent 538 post. If it's just a joke about how I have a boner for Nate Silver, then fair enough.
