i'd hit it...
...but is it wrong to imagine bonking a gelfling ???
This is still probably the funniest/cringiest post I've encountered on this board... At least top .001 percentile of cringe—Female Excellence.tbf the author of this seems special too
[nomadologist]:
Oh please, by Vimothy's own belief system, I am *vastly* more intelligent than he is, by virtue of:
A) My IQ (190 Sanford-Binet, which I feel safe assuming is higher than his, because it's in the top .001 percentile)
B) My acceptance on full scholarship into a top-tier educational institution
C) My ability to make far more money than Vimothy does, i.e., my "market value"
I found and reposted that one but I didn't know it would set all this offtbf the author of this seems special too

He removed me from his blogroll back in the day (last year).he wont even follow me on twitter. we only talk when he calls me an idiot
Carl Impostume: "2) I’ve never heard Joanna Newsom but think I can assert without fear of contradiction from even the most staunchly loyal of her advocates that she has a profoundly irritating face. A degree of punchable winsomeness and self-satisfied artsy-slapability not seen since Bjork pig-tailed and boss-eyed her way into the public mind. Do these two share a missing chromosome? I suspect that if I actually read the interview then I’ll later have to kill her. This is why I should not buy The Wire."
In my world of colleagues, friends, and family, we have words for people who express such sentiments as those cited by Impostume, words which include: thug, sexist, coward, and intellectual fraud. I think that insecure male, vile, and loser might also apply.
Though I have already made myself clear, I will again say that in my opinion, the utterly subjective procedure of deciding upon someone's "smugness," "self-satisfied artsy-slapability," "missing chromosomes," and the like, on the basis of magazine photographs -- and then to base an expression of physical violence against a fellow human being for said imaginary traits -- belongs to a person who could only be described as an intellectual zero.
i don't think she's literally ugly, but that daft look on her face makes me want to slap her. she makes the face like swears is saying, the "i'm a deep coffee-shop pseudo-intellectual who reads poetry and doesn't get it but really likes to be seen with a book in the right place. i am also very twee and do things very cutesy-like and my parents are baby boomers and i have a trustfund that funds my ultra-'bohemian' lifstyle."
doubly funny its directed at vimothy, who seems like he wants to maintain a serious profile here but cant escape the badgering.its my new favorite comment here, dethroning zhaos about the 'slut'
For most of 1969 and 1970, Newsom traveled across Europe alongside former SS Gestapo member Otto von Bolschwing who had been brought to the US by the CIA under Operation Paperclip and appointed TCI's president by Getty due to his former Nazi intelligence connections and their value in obtaining defense technology contracts. It was during this time that von Bolschwing introduced Newsom to the business of importing and selling wine from Argentina - a business venture that would later be emulated by Newsom's son, Gavin.
I thought it was a really beautiful choice.Newsom was an interesting choice for the voice of Pynchon in Inherent Vice.
It's like a Pynchon novel in its own right.
Newsom was a keen environmentalist and served on the boards of both the Sierra Club Foundation and the Environmental Defense Fund.[6] He helped to found the Mountain Lion Preservation Foundation and was also a member of Earth Justice.[7] He was also an advocate for otters and had one as a pet.[8] During his judicial career he had had to curb his advocacy for environmental protection to maintain his professional neutrality.[6] Newsom was also a keen walker and would take Gavin backpacking along the rivers of California.[6] He had a large collection of books and would often read while in the bathtub.[7]
Can you imagine how fun it'd be to write the Newsom family novel, Pynchon-style?Gavin Christopher Newsom was born in San Francisco, to Tessa Thomas (née Menzies) and William Alfred Newsom III, a state appeals court judge and attorney for Getty Oil. He is a fourth-generation San Franciscan. One of Newsom's maternal great-grandfathers, Scotsman Thomas Addis, was a pioneer scientist in the field of nephrology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University. Newsom is the second cousin, twice removed, of musician Joanna Newsom.[9]
Yup, the lightweight ones—Lot 49 + IV. Vineland's been waiting for me a while. Made a couple attempts on GR but the truth is I just don't have the time in my life right now. I wish I did. I fantasize all the time about taking 2-3 big works like GR to Turkey and just living on an island there all summer, doing nothing but reading them. It would be a good life.have you read any pynchon suspended?
For me, it's her legs and her kindness to animalsImagine thinking men are this shallow. That me and HMTGov have spent hundreds of hours of our lives listening to this woman sing because every once and a while, we catch a glimpse of her profile and are entranced.
California's a weird place.It's like a Pynchon novel in its own right.
