That is hilarious, thanks for sharing that quote.

You can watch TV and eat? I find it a distraction. I need to focus on the food when sticking it in my mouth.

I wonder how crocs supplanted jelly sandals for kids.

Having used dial-up until a year ago… no. No boner. You have to nurture your erection for hours if you're scouring for new media. Even when you download ahead of time, you burn through it all before you're close to chucking the muck.

"We're supposed to talk to meat."

I envy anyone who can read into Naked Lunch. I got bogged down by the gibberish sentence structure and the repetition of lynching and scat. I think I was supposed to randomly go to a page a day.

They need to thumb through a D&D Monster's Manual and find some other undead to hype. I got my fingers crossed for priest liches or ghouls.

The vomit was interesting when you tried to deconstruct the color choices, weighing whether or not most meals are dominated by the red and brown pallets.

You'll have to settle watching Christa Miller's desperately cling to beauty on Cougars.

At least reassure me Danny Glover is Donald's drunken uncle.

Growing
Which regions are the seeds tailored to? In a dire situation, you want naturalized plants that don't need excessive pampering to keep alive. The US is too varied for this catch-all seed mix.

Sold out doesn't mean anything, what with a thing called scalpers. You'll have to judge by how full the place is on performance day.

I like in Sushi Cat where you get so fat in one go, it's near impossible to make it past the spinning/moving platforms to start the next round. You end up ignoring the game for an hour or more before you can continue playing.

A new trend?
I can only hope this inspires other 80's programming to get their own games. I'd love for a Ray Bradbury Presents or The Hitchhiker game. No idea what possible games can be salvaged from episodic horror in the vein of The Twilight Zone.

At least you'll have the option of last words. Quartering draws very attentive crowds. Some of us can only look forward to being a shell of themselves years before the end thanks to Alzheimer's or Dementia.

No, I didn't decide I didn't like it. I gave it an honest shot wanting to like it. A friend loaned it and reading the Rotten articles on Kerouac, Burroughs, and the other ones really piqued my interest. But I ended up not liking it. Narrator (I can't remember their names) did a heroic savage number on all the…

That article reminded me of Chickenhead's The Emotional Tampon

His main objection isn't nudity, but the one-sidedness of its application. Long have video game nerds yearned for the pixelated dingus. Without the circumcized dorks to warm out of pity, the exposed breasts are frivolous and meaningless. Nudity is all about context, people.

Ask your librarian about interlibrary loans. They'll borrow the book from another library that has it, then lend it to you. Know which Ballard book(s) you'll want ahead of time.

On the short story front, absolutely. But it may also be where you end because the other short stories will disappoint by seeming like trial runs or repetition on old themes. I haven't made it into the 1970's in his Complete Short Stories yet, and since Best came out in 78, it may have left out some later gems.
