It brings you to SCOTT LOL it's like Hi, here I am! Well buddy life can be hard like that gotta just keep on moving forward following the right old rhythm of the rain that beats and beats and beats and beats and beats and beats and beats in the windowpane windowpane windowpane again LOL my pappy sometimes repeats words in the drunken fluidity of speech to show me that the were important you know sometimes things have to be emphasized like my pappy's crawdad operation out of baton rouge boy he got success there after he and his friends pushed out guy Bannister's methadone henchmen take it easy- SIGNED SCOTT

howdy partner, SCOTT has entered the building .. like my pappy was I am loud proud and stand my place and defend the bodies of my thought and oh my god we have already been on a whirlwind tour though the whole gamut of issues this evening ... I think what what really inspired me this evening was the Bill Paxton moments of transformation tin the final scenes of Twister, his wholedully serrated timidisnouss transmutuates into the big face of a man when he grabs the rubber pipe to save himself and alliterative queen Helen Hunt ... and the moment when they both upside down like fireworks at a fairground let their feet dangle above their heads and view the dual twisters as they jangle with God's ear tempo above their realm is so powerful .... goddamn it moves me LOL I get goosebumps just thinking about it ... makes me understand that guy bannister's clan in Baton Rouge was already damned to failure ... hmm

on that note i would suggest approaching Oliver Stone's opus chronologically both in the macro and micro scale, I mean watch his first film -- the one that came out into the multiplex in the year furthest away from the current year -- and start on the first scene working slowly towards the last one. I have read many books and watching many movies using this method. cheers stay healthy out there, numbers rising up again. got to be careful about the delta variant, well anyway heading down to denny's now with friends. I play bingo with them there on Monday nights sometimes we also order something to eat but normally not only if im hungry I normally order the country fried steak, it reminds me of the hungry man meals I used to eat when I was depressed ... tom Brokaw was still alive then, damn even Tim russert, I mean ,,, meet the press man. he really held politicians feet to the fire. anyways denny's cuisine reminds me a lot of hungry man days except for the cowboy chopped steak it's on the value menu for 8.99 dollar now that's a good deal you really get the value for your buck at denny's when you're there, it's like you're family but wait LOL that+s already a slogan for another restaurant chain the Olive Garden my grandfather once told me about the difficulties of marriage we used to vibe together in Virgin record stores he introduced me to Led Zeppelin I really like Immigrant Song although I sure don't like immigrants well anyways sorry, im getting a bit off track that happens sometimes sorry , .my friends at Dennys are late to the party and my tummy is very hungry now I haven't eaten anything since yesterday been temporarily light due to the construction boss laying me off i accidentally showed up to work drunk and made a fool of myself by wetting my pants but I mean, come on ,, we all have our problems. I don*t think it was appropriate to fire me for this reason , it's not like I hurt anyoneI wanted to ask you about some Dale Earndheardt merchandise my granddaughter is just the biggest fan ,.. I just wanted to announce to everyone that I will be joining the bingo game late because my other friends are stuck in traffic jams there seems to be a problem on west 9th street, basically a small crash I will be joining the game late very concerned about my friends. one said he needed to go to the gas station before but didn't make it in time hopefully the gas will last enough to Denny's thanks and keep me updated my mobile data hasn't been so good lately, a bit "on the fritz" as my daddy said, anyways, see you later, thanks.....

But I guess sometimes we just have to take what life throws at us, shit, it's difficult, a real tough cookie to swallow but it's what makes up a man ... I remember a friend of my daddy, he worked on an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana, lived there in a jade quarter flat with a half bath like near lake Pontchartrain now in those days, were talking like early 70s, baton rouge was THE hotspot for methadone trade like the real deal, i.e. heroin the stuff that fucked up Kurt Cobain is what this methadone business is a replacement for, and the company men on the oil rig who were all by the way henchmen of Guy Bannister 's Panzer divion, used to do the trade route for local criminals...real bad guys trust me, no one you would want to mess with ..anyways my dad was not in favor Guy Bannister's methadone racket and starting sinking the bags of methadone into Ponchetrain when the foreman were out drinking in the night..now the sad thing is that o ur dog also drank from lake Ponchetrain, it later died of chronic diarrhea but by that time my father had become such a strong man that he didn't even shed a tear, to this day i look up to his example and think of that wise old turn in phrase- when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Well you know and that reminds me of what grand pappy used to spout off all wild and sea bass fish like from the gaffe boat part after he'd done had some Schlitz and cigarettes: them Huns is peckerwoods! Just like us pecker pecker pecker pecker suckin' peckerwoods...each and every last one of them God made us all equal except for the Huns Huns are righteous and will not even allow the bull nab to put a fire to it when it's dirty shit man isn't that the truth? ?? We got lucky that victory came so easily it was time to dance and smoke cigarettes after the war i remember Andy Williams and Ann Margaret in Branskon Missouri near the riverwalk singing the anthem with eyes welling full of sloppy tears for the boon of the notion, the nation very nuch a proud moment for grand pappy whose father was an infantry man for the Queen's army delpoyed inspa to push back the Krauts man shit that must have been crazy ...parachuting Krauts in the countryside, heroism at stake for the sake of a uncle Sam giving you a pat in your young man's Back ... Wow ... Simply in awe let the good times roll, signed SCOTT

now the scenes that are thematically emergent after the establishment of the Wakitian prologue are of better quality, cut from a better like daddy would say I mean Philipp Seymour Hoffman was a great actor in his own right so goddamn man that bloody scene where the hubcap rips open his forehead in the garage while the big ass twister rips away the movie screen was hard to stomach Jesus I mean from a technical point of view touche really well done, not as good a special effect as the FLYING COW LOL that s a joke that will never get old LOL Twister's Flying Cow

Now my daddy was a simple man, a man of simple means who lived within his own meanness and never tried to build a shotgun out of wood....never bite off more than you can chew, that's rule number three in grand pappy's list of life rules. well back to my point Bill Paxton was not good in Twister, the opening scene with the exciting music Is good the visuals are engaging too but the dry laborious tedium and impeccable and IMPLACABLE LOL anhedonia he shows towards Melissa were not really part of the acting I think, looks like he was just bored to me. The later scenes with the F5 twister with sexy babe of alliterative quality Helen hunt are of better quality but shit....if I was him I'd be better in scenes with Helen Hunt too LOL

well hello good evening all. .. I am glad this question has been asked. one people think that animals because they can't talk lack any soul and brains and guts and determination well well well try telling that to a hunter on a bad day LOL animals are very smart shit, there are some rabbits and other little varmints grand pappy and me tracked down in the steppes of Indiana, Litchfield's little "league" baseball dungeon near the bleacher of Mr. Washler's storefront those were the days I tell you...."summertime and the living is easy" - Gershwin just like that..a bit of sports and a bit of bonding at the pool. when my mother was preparing the fruit salad my father found the jukebox (Jules McMaster gave it to him as a gift for parting prom ritual, pappy had to hide the jukebox from mommy because it would make her jealous and also remind her of the ice-creaming tinted desk reclusion of the penultimate eventide shrovetide fair Stravinsky like whiskey serialism Cold War days, boy even as children we never forgot McCarthy - have you no bane? LOL my grandson would get that joke he watches super hero movies...well I#m off to denny's to play bingo..stay healthy and boars are pesky varmints that with Bia phage the arenas of blessed solitude .. just like my WIFE LOL a man just can't have his peace can he? well take it easy friends, well have to continue this conversation after I win at bingo LOL my friends get jealous of me when I win at bingo at denny's, shit I seen one of them who tried to spit in my food! while I was out for a cigarette with thunder thighs..makes you wonder who you're real friends are in this crazy world .... I guess it's the people that care and love about you like a tree hugs a valley in a hard storm Bill Paxton was very much like a tree, I know Bill Paxton very much. I am a fan of his early work

>hmm, wait.. what if Kellhus like.. teleports behind him and chops his head off.. man this is gonna be awesome.

That is to say that while it seems to stagnate it just is not easily perceived. Listen to The Field or Laura Halo.

We're in a brilliant time for music, multiple performances with loops and song structures that could never exist at any time before now.

Music is doing just fine, it is just not the way to wealth.

That red seal on the book... Oh god, does it— does it really say "Bella and Edward's Favorite Book?"

Austin, TX

Uhh, we have hipsters and coffee shops.
We also have Book People which is a pretty highly rated independent bookstore
UT supposedly has a good English Graduate program

Not really much else I guess. Not too many authors are from Texas. I mean hell, even a place as stereotypically illiterate as Mississippi has Faulkner.

Dearest /lit/,

Please do not be too quick to judge this work, as it probably isn't what you're used to reading. I know you're all very tasteful and common pop-fiction like this is quite below you.

But I'm wondering if any of you stopped and, if only to laugh, read this book that I've been very interested in since I first heard of it.

I'd like to buy it but I am very poor and do not often get to purchase books of my own.

Tell me. What are your thoughts?
