Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that's not true, and he wrote Jesus' Son at the University of Iowa. It's a good story though! : )

Well, now I have, and it's stuck in my brain forever. Thank you?

Bahahah. Yeah, my students hated the story, and had similar issues with getting it. They hated everything I taught. I finally got them to admit that they thought Kafka sucked in class one day, and that counted as a victory for me. But they were foreign, so they were very polite about hating stuff, and to be fair,…

…I saw her much later, not too many years ago, and when I smiled she seemed to believe I was making advances. But it was only that I remembered. I’ll never forget you. Your husband will beat you with an extension cord and the bus will pull away leaving you standing there in tears, but you were my mother.

I thought it was great, but I certainly have no issues with someone not liking it. I didn't think it was confusing though. I mean, it had a lot of characters and tried to be intentionally complex, but that works as a metaphor for Vietnam, so… But I could definitely tell what was going on at all times, so I'd…

Hey, I taught that story too! See above. And the copper story is called 'Work.' RIP.

I got in a fight with a BERNIE SUPPORTER on Facebook the other day. I didn't even realize she was a Bernie-bro. She was yapping about Hillary killing the DNC guy, and I just thought she was an insane Trumper. Anyway, I'm never reading the news feed on Facebook again.

Yeah, Lobsters, Clinton never faced any repercussions from his actions, very valid… um, point? I clearly remember everyone shouting "that's so sexy!" as he was facing impeachment.

So-oooo… we're agreed that they're different then? Cool, we can all go back to ignoring you now.

This sucks. I used to use the story "Work" from Jesus' Son to teach English abroad. I think I could have technically been fired for doing this, but it was worth it, as it's one of the best stories ever written. RIP.

The last time I read Breitbart, the commentators there were angry that they were being banned for calling Michelle Obama the c-word. This, on an article mocking how she was upset that her school meals program got cut — really controversial stuff from her.

"Governor, if what you're saying is true, then… why don't I care?"

"There is no difference between the Washington Post and Breitbart."

You're a man and not an Asian girl? …This is totally rocking my world, seriously. (I don't know anything about the… Pokemon, though. This might account for the mistake.)

Yeah, Empire Strikes Back was the first movie I ever saw, and the three year wait to find out what happened to Han was excruciating. Clearly, he wasn't going to die, but try explaining that to a fucking four-year-old. : /

Yeah, whenever I ran into Australians in Europe, I was like, "Wow. This sucks." (Cute accents though.)

Ugh, when I lived in Turkey there was footage of Congress getting in a fist-fight on the news for days. Good… times?

I was just trying to find Rainbow Brite: The Movie yesterday.

No! That's why I don't visit slaughterhouses and why crawfish boils make me uncomfortable too. If I went to KFC and they were like, "Here's your chicken…" and then dumped three hundred roosters into a pot of oil, I'd feel weird as well. That was the joke.*

Just set it in the 80s anyway and ignore the age thing. "Gentlemen. I'm sorry to report this, but… the Falkland Islands have been invaded. …It's go time, people."
