The Swamp

You're probably about to get really angry with me..but I think Saunders is Grade A Hipster-Lit. The poster child for it in 2013, probably. While i enjoyed the stories, there was some inherent pretentiousness.

Every few years a serious author will get noticed and be BOSS for a while.

If I had it to do over, I would have read one story, took a couple of days off, then started the next. Starting "Al Roosten" directly after "Exhortation" made them run together a bit.

AB The White, would it be possible to do me and George Saunders a huge favor and change the thread title? (Can we do that here?) I've been really into Saunders lately, and I was going to start my own thread about him at some point. I don't want him to get lost in a big general thread like this. Cou...

My wife has an acquaintance on FB who, while not a stripper, is very into pole dancing. Based on her feed, she has at least one pole installed in her house, and is constantly posting pictures of herself in various pole related poses (damn the rules, but I will say she's very fit and sort of cute). ...

Spurred by the George Saunders discussion in another thread. First, what I'm reading: Fahrenheit 451 - one of the classics I just never got around to back in the day. About halfway through, and enjoying it so far. It's always cool to see what these writers dreamed up that became reality eventually. ...

Anyone see the 3D Big East endzone signage last night? Pretty slick: looks 3D to the Television viewer from the main cam, but not from other cams.

Like the sidewalk art that is nutszo:

I'm also surprised Mike Wallace got so much.

It's probably likely. But he's 27, so it isn't like he should be over the hill.

But as a browns fan you take what you can get.

It all makes sense now!

And I like the Kruger move. Let's just hope he doesn't get complacent moving from Baltimore where he had to be aware of gunfire at all hours, I am sure , to Cleveland, where the gunfire is welcomed as a remedy to the soul-crushing despondency.

Not sure who Semplica Girls is, but that was a really good story. George Saunders can move mountains. Read his new book as soon as you can. Done. Finished it a few weeks ago. Really solid collection. I liked Semplica girls and Puppy best, with Home a close third. Escape from Spiderhead strong as we...

I dunno. I got one that clearly used autocorrect to change "You are a fine upstanding gentleman with a pleasant disposition" to "ur a fag".

Guess that's just a bug.

If you don't like my Avatar, take it up with me in person, not via random message post. DOUCHE.

But yeah, the avatars not being inline makes me want to use maxthon.

Serious question...if this is working in its current state, is there any need to try to add all the old stuff back in and re-populate the whole shooting match?

Or are we better off just starting new and making this place hella awesome from scrizzle?

If you don't like it, Fuck off and quit yer bitching. Thanks for getting this running, Le Scottie. Excited to see out green friend back. Now, if you could just make the Exalt button work... There's this weird "Add Friend" and "Add Foe" thingamabob if you click on someone's usern...
