Those celebrity tabloids, cheap and entertaining but overall just shit

>>5108811
Bukowski books.

so, takes a while to read, isn't very good, long and cheap.

i think if you wrote a journal you'd about hit the pinnacle there.

>>5108811
Mystery Novels

>>5108831

Burnt.

>>5108831
If you pour the forty out into a cup and then pour that into another cup and keep transferring the alcohol between cups, it becomes much easier to drink quickly.

It's flat, but it's not terrible.

>>5108811
Hemingway or maybe Maugham

>>5109113
i just drink it out of a paper bag with a buddy by the river. some pretty bad poetry came out of drinking that 40

>>5109197
I'm not sure anything good has ever come out of drinking a 40.

>>5109232
I used to have a picture of a large pedobear plushie with a hurricane 40oz under a local bridge on my old phone.

>tfw no physical pictures of the memories

>>5108811
The Post Office

>>5109232
I became close again with one of my old friends thanks to 40s
The new plastic ones are STUPID, btw

>>5109239

I swear the weirdest shit happens when you drink cheap alcohol. Like the cheaper it is, the weirder the shit that falls into your path. There's gotta be a graph of this or something.

Anyway, it'll be a long time before I drink anymore Thunderbird. I'll have a couple more 40s eventually, but that's as low as I'll go.

I once got drunk and met a one-eyed Hockey player at around 3 in the morning. I tried getting him back to his hotel and we met a 30 year old blond named Sabrina
That night was the first time I ever saw a girl pissing IRL

>>5109281
Ha now that's a story. I'm drawing on blanks right now trying to think of something to match but all I can think of right now are times when I was a complete mess and got kicked out of every place I walked into.

There was a time when I was walking down a street and saw some guy humping away slowly at something in his car. I really couldn't tell if there was a girl or anything underneath him and I wasn't going to stare to find out, but part of me legitimately thinks he was just humping the driver seat of his car.

>>5109299

One time I drove to uptown and settled into a bar. A man 12 years my senior hit on me and bought me drinks. I was writing, and he was curious. I'm not used to being bought drinks.

I drove home after the bar closed. I was on probation.


One time I blacked out and attempted to evade arrest in my car. I came to my senses driving in on a college lawn and parked on the wrong side of the street, where I was arrested at gunpoint. Spent 2 nights in 2 jails. That was fun.


I drank a 1/2 a 5th of another guy's whiskey after pounding an unknown amount of unremembered liquid. I ended up being convinced to drink a bowl of water as if it were wine, then was driven home raving about suicide. That was a bad time.


The best story? No alcohol:
One time, I wanted weed, but all I could get was K2. Outside the shop was an opportunistic random minority man who wished me to drive him to his friend's house, he told me I could score there. So I drove a random man to a random house, where he got me a 1/4 oz weed for a good price. I went home and was sated.


huh

>>5109317
I've never been arrested, so you automatically beat all my stories, m8
Sux2b u, btw lmfao

>>5109317
>One time, I wanted weed

boring vapid shit

>>5109347

Mmhmm, being arrested in Texas sucks.

What is the Thatchers Gold of literature?

>>5109184
Shh, Sunhawk might hear you.

>>5109356
Yeah, and I'm in New York, I imagine the south's more strict, but you're not an idiot who's RUDE to cops, are you?

>>5109355

It may seem that way. Drugs may seem pedestrian. Whatever.

This man was 43, had no car, and was willing, at random, to have me bring him somewhere to negotiate drugs for me. I was dumb enough, at 19, to just go "what the fuck why not?". I let a foreign man into my car in the middle of a strange place, had him guide me somewhere blindly, and he actually returned on his promise and I got serious weed. It was odd at least to me.

But you just fucking dismiss a story in a word. Huh. THE SHITS IN THE JOURNEY MAN.

K2, btw, is a terrible substitute for anything. I've some odd friends who've gotten me into odd things.

>>5109368
We should be able to be rude to cops.

Cops shouldn't be, like, all-powerful feudal lords.

Why do people drink 40 out of a paper bag?

>>5109374

I asked the cunt at the bottle-o the other day why people did that in places where public drinking is legal. Apparently it keeps the drink cool.

>>5109374
Same reason they drink anything out of a paper bag in public...

>>5109368

Not typically but I was drugged by an ex-friend dealer. One of my charges, one which was dismissed due to my lawyer's efforts, was "assault of a public servant". I was at least socially aggressive once in captivity.

Typically I'm nice to cops and actually don't mind their company. I've gotten out of tickets, etc. Just... I'm apparently different when gifted with unknown levels of xanax in my drink.

>>5109369
How did you find out his age? Did you blow him after he told you?

>>5109374
Shade, since most people drink them outside. Clear bottles cause beer to get skunked by sunlight. Over the course of a 40, it can get pretty gross. Shade also keeps it cooler.

Wait, 40 was a real drink all along?

>>5109378

No. I typically converse with people in my company.

Somehow my lips work normally without a cock in my mouth. I could give you lessons.

>>5109383
I want COLD SWEAT 40. Sounds cool.

>>5109383

haha, a 40oz is a designation of a size of beverage.

In America, cheap beers are typically sold in 40oz bottles. It's a generic term.

Yeah, it's real.

>>5109388
I'll give your cock a lesson, if you know what I mean.

>>5109392

I don't.

What's the purple drank of literature?

>>5108826
>>5109243
but he was a wino.

>>5109371
Do you think we should be able to call blacks niggers, guidos guineas, Puerto Ricans spics, queers fags, soldiers baby killers, janitors and truckers working class pleb trash, etc. to their face, no legal consequences?
>>5109377
Whenever I black out I just wind up saying slightly ruder shit than usual

>>5109403

Kanye West teams up with co-author J. Sakiya Sandifer to make his literary debut with Thank You And You're Welcome, an entertaining volume of 'Kanye-isms'--the creative, humorous, and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating his path to success. It captures the same wit, playful irony, and piercing insight found abundant in his lyrics.

In Thank You And You're Welcome, Kanye delivers his personal message uncensored, without any five-second delay or media distortion.

'My book is a guide to creating then celebrating your moment!' says Kanye.

>>5109391
Ah, I see, that makes sense.
>>5109390
Who doesn't?

>>5109406
but the circumstances aren't the same, unless you give every disenfranchised person listed a gun to wave in your face.

>>5109423

Why don't you have a revolutionary war over it and become hypocrisy again murka

>>5109423
So you're saying that a person legally carrying a gun is scary to you, so it's okay for you to act uncivilly toward them?
I mean, are you fucking retarded? You're gonna be more rude to a person because they're armed? What the fuck, man?
>Oh man, that's Joe, he carries a knife, guess my unarmed ass better walk over and just start calling him a faggot and saying I fucked his girlfriend, it's okay because he has a knife, if he hits me he's the scumbag
Are you dumb?

>>5109406

I think there should be no legal consequences to calling someone a name. I expect social/physical consequences though.

>>5109406

Ha, me too. I'll act like an idiot and fuck around if just drunk, but I'll apparently black out sooner and act crazy due to alcohol/xanax synergy (I've only taken xanax 2times, with the second being the time I was drugged).

>>5109428
Technically it was a British civil war.

>>5109452

It certainly wasn't

>>5109444
I have never done any recreational drugs but weed and alcohol
> I expect social/physical consequences though.
What do you think of legalized dueling, or a revival of Holmgang?

>>5109437
>>5109428
no I was commenting on the hierarchy of power in place which allows the possibility power figures to invoke fear through force. that force is different from giving the disenfranchised a gun because a gun doesn't suddenly equalize the power dynamic in a stratified society.

also different person, to broad of a comment?
sorry for the confusion.

>>5109463

If two men consent and jump through the legal hoops, why not?

>>5109465
no that doesn't address what I said about gun waving. hmm.. that shit made no sense but in reflection of the feudal lords thing it kind of does.. speaking of beer I need to go to bed. sorry.

>>5109465
>disenfranchised
What do you mean by this and how is your average guido or soldier disenfranchised?

A cop doesn't have much power, he can only arrest you, he can't send you to prison. The Judge does that. Should people be rude to judges, too? Even GOOD GUY judges like Sonya Sotomayor?

>>5109488
i missed the soldier part (they're not fucked till they're vets) but it's obvious guidos are retarded.

cops have the power to act with unchecked power (in US) because the system which checks the power balance is analyzed by the local police force in charge of the officer in question first.

>>5109514
but seriously I'll get back to you tomorrow. look up the process of prosecuting police officers. if i am wrong post it, till then. see you tomorrow.

>>5109514
>it's obvious guidos are retarded
Well fuck you too, m8
>cops have the power to act with unchecked power (in US)
Where exactly are you from? Cops have more power in a lot of countries outside of the U.S. than they do here, Germany and Brazil come to mind. In Germany you can get in trouble for using "du" instead of "sie" with the cops I here, in Brazil the cops have 1910's-tier freedom to do whatever

>>5109523
it wasn't a relative comparison just a comment of cultural relevance to personal experience.

but seriously goodnight.

>>5109374
Politeness. It's kind of like saying darn instead of damn around children.
