I'd like to "follow on facebook," but they got some kind of bug up their ass about what I write too.

"Goodbte windows." BTW, the above has been expanded-edited mostly with a net conversation between the author and Kims Dong.

In full expectation of your standard derogatory and insulting comment, I bet you are unaware that you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.

Just think about that one, dickhead.

Arthur; do you think that you might be coming up for some air sometime this week?

Actually, I was thinking it might be fun to sit and watch you try setting a new record for most consecutive comments posted in a row, but seeing as how you're practically a shoo-in for TOP TROLL OF THE YEAR already, I figured we probably ought to leave a few lesser GR Awards for others to potentially win.


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

You meant to say "lesser others" I'm sure. In any case, always looking out for Doooooooooooooogie.

Thank you; especially with 347 days to go and increased competition. Could be that I'm more relaxed this year; whereas last year I was nervously trying to prove myself.

You might be surprised how difficult it is to do consecutive in a row.

This is the opening to "My Non-life Not on Goodreads." It was a project abandoned after 1,200 words. So, believe it or not, it was worse than the others. So, since no one is paying any attention I've inflicted them with it right here. If you don't think that makes any sense, it is precisely why Trump and the Republicans have been able to stick it right up your ass.

If you want it, you can't have it. Phhtttt.

Chapter 1

This entire, weird chain of events had no clearly defined starting point. But I suppose that if you choose to commence yapping that you are stuck in having to pick some arbitrary point to start the yap at. ......... Never mind; I guess I already have. ....... But, not really. That’s got nothing to do with the story. It’s just one of those clever lead-ins a competent writer tries to hook innocent readers with.
In fact whether or not there is a story is in itself a highly debatable subject for anyone paying any attention whatsoever; with the possible exception of that person who keeps leaving those messages folded under the red flag attached to my mail box. Inconclusive “proof” of that allegation is offered in the absence of an actual photo displayed thusly, “enhanced,” and very much more or less.


Mailbox; the kind courtesy of Pexels,com under their CC0 license; modified.

Got the picture?
No, that is not the hanging of Frosty the Snowman. It’s my fabrication of a letter attached to my mailbox.
Excellent. You may have already astutely noted that this book is an attempted condescension to the dissertations regarding post-modern literature (po-mo;) insofar as the genre which came to fruition with DFW and died when he did is lionized by certain out-of-date critics; their anticipated raves not personally measured in Jacksons; but in Washingtons; the father of this great country.
All that out of the way, please allow me to go back a few months ......... or years. I don’t recall and it doesn't matter

Arthur; goddam; just to the rude point. All right? That wasn't a question. You let this dickass Dro*in*ki post shit all over YOUR valuable GR thread. Nobody likes the fuck. So, what's in it for you?

If anything the polock is a detriment to your income and love life. So WTF? I mean, like even Jesus, in his first incarnation, got violent over the moneychangers hanging around the Temple bullshit.

You can get this fuck out of here with about four fuggin clicks. He ain't doin' nobody no good.

SUP fuckhead?


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Even Lumphead Leo doesn't like me; and a couple of people like him if you count his sister.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

And Hackle's making new friends every day, but not me. .......... Sure, he's looking for chumps to review his dumb books, but still.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

I am more desolate than "Stoner."


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

The pity thing still works here. Doesn't it?


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

Do you have to put those bug eyed fossils on the blog. It doesn't help matters any.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

The visuals are just so much cool fun.

message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Don't mind me. I'll just be having a four way conversation with myself here.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

OL, I'll start things off.


message 20: by [deleted user] (last edited Jan 19, 2018 04:26PM) (new)

You went first last time.


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

Crackhead probably doesn't even remember.


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

How about we discuss this frenzy to publish. A short time ago everyone was singing the virtues of self-publishing.


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, I got a good deal from Zit Butt Anachronisms; only cost me $3,600.


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

Nice, I gave Chromosome Surplus more than that and they fucked up the cover. Letters all the same size and color all lined up like a battalion.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Fuck. G-Spot Grannies went ballistic on mine, and even spelled two words wrong.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

Cool.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

How about the editing?


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know. I don't read that kind of shit.


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, I looked at mine a little. They only fucked up one of the skull drawings, and how can anyone tell anyway? Hehehe.


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

The pages went in the right order. I don't pay much attention to the words, as if they're wrong, I say it was intentional. Like don't you get the joke dooooood?


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

High fives accompanied the jovial comraderie.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

What kind of sales you guys get?


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

I bought 100.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

I bought two. Said I had to.


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

Scuzzy Protoplasm Productions gives them away to derelicts, and it just costs me $3 per, no shipping. It's good for my exposure.


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Any problems with genre?


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

Zit Butt has a thing for humongous asses with acne. But no problem if the story is not about that as long as you throw in a few pictures.


message 38: by [deleted user] (new)

Chromosome Surplus seems to have a broad outlook.


message 39: by [deleted user] (new)

G-Spot Grannies can be annoyingly picky sometimes. But, you know, like, as long as there's some schwantz in there; they'll make a lot of concessions.


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Scuzzy got this cool fat man makin' the decisions. Changes his fuckin' mind a lot. Pisses me off when I gotta change the story from North Korean nukes to bitches with exploding faces.


message 41: by [deleted user] (new)

Fuckin' pig.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah; sometimes I gotta change like five pages.


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

I'd say fuck that.


message 44: by [deleted user] (new)

I was thinkin' about it, but they got this totes unreal website they update twice a year.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Cool


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

Super cool.


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

Dry ice.


message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

So, what's the verdict? Self or pro?


message 49: by [deleted user] (new)

Pro if you got the dough. Self if you're broke, sick in bed or sumthin'.


message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

Definitely pro. You're assured that at least one other person saw it.
