my other vehicle is a V2
to pilot which you do not need to
you just push a button
and it will leave nuttin'
but stiffs and big holes and debris, too

what goes up, must come down. sometimes on a cinema full of people.

"The rest of us, not chosen for enlightenment, left on the outside of Earth, at the mercy of a Gravity we have only begun to learn how to detect and measure, must go on blundering inside our front-brain faith in Kute Korrespondences, hoping that for each psi-synthetic taken from Earth’s soul there is a molecule, secular, more or less ordinary and named, over here—kicking endlessly among the plastic trivia, finding in each Deeper Significance and trying to string them all together like terms of a power series hoping to zero in on the tremendous and secret Function whose name, like the permuted names of God, cannot be spoken . . . plastic saxophone reed sounds of unnatural timbre, shampoo bottle ego-image, Cracker Jack prize one-shot amusement, home appliance casing fairing for winds of cognition, baby bottles tranquilization, meat packages disguise of slaughter, drycleaning bags infant strangulation, garden hoses feeding endlessly the desert . . . but to bring them together, in their slick persistence and our preterition . . . to make sense out of, to find the meanest sharp sliver of truth in so much replication, so much waste. . . ."

yeah. shit's so easy it's ridiculous.

Nobody ever said a day has to be juggled into any kind of sense at day's end.
- Pynchon

huh. i thought their problem was with the whole replacing-the-rocket's-explosive-charge-with-a-teenaged-boy thing.

what's with the pie fight from the hot air balloon while dressed in a plush pig costume? what the hell is with that seance? why is slothrop's father trying to kill his son in a city of the future where buildings can move?

why are they putting that boy inside the nose-cone of a rocket?

i thought this was supposed to be a "great american novel", not a drunken ether binge.

literally "black device", code-name for der Fünffachnullpunkt

it's a symbol of your ignorance and your inability to google the file name, most likely because you're using a fucking iphone.

people trash anyone and anything to get attention. "ruggles can't write his way out of an A4 nosecone" is designed to get a response from his fans.

no, you idiot.

"Though you may be thrown over
by Tabby or Rover
You'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
You'll never go wrong with a pig!"

that is the peak of literature.

return the book, then start a protest about your library having 'obscene' books. quote the section with Major Pudding and Katje. all of it.

Guy looks for rocket; can't find it.

get one of those plastic viking helmets shaped like a bullet, unscrew the horns, add a green cape with the letter R and tape some fins to the backs of your boots.

if anyone asks who you're supposed to be, scream “FICKT NICHT MIT DER RAKETEMENSCH!' and punch them in the face.
