A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst

[Hosh]

Boo work! Boo! Hiss!

 

[PhillyDave]

It was a fast and loose 7+ minutes. I dig it. I dug it. Then "Airplane" by Subtle Aggression came on and i am all confused. Anyway, you read ones I've already read. Cool. One I esp love is the one where your friend does a David Lee Roth off the sofa and almost takes out the ceiling fan.... Also i am drunk. Dinner at the bar was excelelnt. I drank six beers and ha d Italian and salad and then apple pie. It was a dark bar with only a few people and i was the youngest. The bar tender called me young man. I'm almost 42! And then i read like the whole of Factotum, well about 90% and finished it in one sitting. yet another good one. H Chuck Boo-cow!

keep swinging, right? Pow!

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Dave, you're not drunk, you're hammered.

 

[Ponder]

Can anyone who reads Dutch tell me if this is good or bad?

The reviewer tries to be funny. Very bad review.

 

[Skygazer]

Work blocked it. Gonna have to actually get back to work and listen to it later tonight @ home.

That's atrocious Dave of Philly, what an imposition! probably 70% of the forum manages to do some forum business from work.
You wouldn't want to let Mr Bukowski down wouldya?

...It was a dark bar with only a few people and i was the youngest. The bar tender called me young man. I'm almost 42!

It's your Darth Vader mask PD - takes years off you.

 

[bospress.net]

sounded great

 

[Hosh]

Very bad review.

I guess I can't win 'em all. "Strikes and gutters," as The Dude says.

...the one where your friend does a David Lee Roth off the sofa and almost takes out the ceiling fan....

His girlfriend has a photo. It is awesome.

I think Ponder meant a badly-written review as opposed to a review that is negative.

 

[Hosh]

I think Ponder meant a badly-written review as opposed to a review that is negative.

I hoped that was the case...but didn't want to be on of those presumptive assholes (even though, by admitting I hoped it was, I'm betraying myself as one! Arrgh!).

I mean, c'mon, I can take criticism! Like with this book, for instance...there's those that dig the book...and then there's the others that are WRONG NOT TO!

 

[Hosh]

You might want to poke a hole in a paper plate instead of looking directly at these... Behold the terrible beauty of the clamshell edition!

 

[Bruno Dante]

Nice!

 

[PhillyDave]

Awesome sauce!

 

[Hosh]

Meanwhile, Bill at BoSP continues to humbly amaze anyone paying attention...he gets all the credit. My gal & I (while working on every book) were little more than helping hands.

 

[Hosh]

Caliban's in Pittsburgh...along side some pretty damn good books!

 

[Bruno Dante]

Just gotten round to reading this and I'm enjoying it so far. I recognise my younger self in there too :D

 

[Hosh]

Cheers, Bruno. I appreciate you taking a chance on the book.

 

[Bruno Dante]

I absolutely love (in particular) the one about the different flavours found in Scotch (especially the last line :) )

 

[Hosh]

"Scotch Scotchy Scotch...I love Scotch...here it goes now...down in my belly..."

Recently finished reading this, Hosh. It's like you, only better.

Again, in the immortal words of some dude I once heard say, "Awesome sauce!"

 

[Hosh]

Turns out this was "web only" content...and not in the print edition all over town. Or, as I like to call it -- imaginary. Even the NY Times can't sell people on "web-only" content.

As The Dude once said: "Strikes and gutters...The Dude abides."

 

[mjp]

I feel like you're saying this is all an illusion, maaan.

Don't fuck with me like that, brah.

 

[PhillyDave]

Woh. Slow down fellas. Are we getting all existential on eachother here? Step away from the keyboard, go to the fridge and fix yourselves a drink. Hows about a white Russian?

 

[Hosh]

Exi-what?

I've been on the Scotch Ale from Tractor Brewing here in town...I'm having a hard time paying attention.

And, also, walking...

 

[Bruno Dante]

I hope it tastes better than McEwan's Best Scotch. That stuff was rank.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

got my copy today. it better be good, McCreesh, or I'm coming down to New Mexico to settle the score like men.

people still pillow fight in New Mexico, right?

 

[Hosh]

The men do.

The ladies used scornful gazes, scoffs, and...oh yeah...prison-grade shivs.

(Thanks for buying it, man. You won't be disappointed...)

(...except when it ends. BOOYA!!)

 

[hoochmonkey9]

alright, you're off the hook this time, McCreesh. you won't be tasting my pillow.

nicely done.

 

[Hosh]

At least not for THIS... (eh? eh? Nothing?)
