I really wish someone would explain what brig does that is so horrible.  The worst I've seen her do is make the same pointed observations everyone else is thinking, which I've come to regard as a virtue at least in Bellgabian terms.

Maybe because neither of my grandmas was they hugs-and-cookies kind (both would pinch you and tell you you were getting fat) I do not have the jarring image discordance some people seem to remark.  And she can be sweet, in her way.

I'm just reading along and posting my observations while I drink my morning coffee.

Would you be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn?  I can let you have it cheap.

The proper term is voyeurism - she uses their videos to vicariously live through them, then swiftly discards them for fresh "talent".

Think Epstein with a coterie aging 15 year olds.

Brig's skill is not in florid exposition, rather it is in psychological strip searching.

Edgy comparison!  Except for where they are mature adults and very willing exhibitionists. 

Prying the mask loose is the internet's game.  If the worst happens, you scrap it and start over.  People who don't understand this should have their computers taken away.

[K_Dubb]

See, no one will explain it except for dear, sweet Azz.  I have to imagine it is an inside joke from the iron-fist-in-the-velvet-glove era of the Falkie thread that people somehow forgot was a joke.

You could be the next Karl Ove KnausgÃ¥rd. (I have not attempted to read his long ramblings but, apparently, the critics love them, despite cribbing from Adolph for his first book title.)  I seem to recall a Murder, She Wrote episode in which a person wrote a fiction book that too closely identified real people in town and family- airing all the dirty laundry. Apparently he got criticism for this.

Yeah I haven't read it either, but it's on the list.  That whole thing where you novelize ordinary people just sounds too much like Silas Marner, which I hated.

I have read all but the last, which I don't think has been translated out of that barbarous dialect yet. They are uneven but when they're good they're very good. Particularly the first one which had a lot about his father who fell apart and drank himself to death. He is compared to Proust a lot but he is much more readable than old Marcel.

logic fault --- adults /= "mature" mentally...ever.

willing?

wither a book so interactive it had these magical powers?

You have secreted your persona behind a dormant and dying culture which banishes your id as smartly as it reflexively attaches RFID chips to your rubbish bins.

I'd have thought you would have had a special affinity for George Eliot, as you both like pretending to be men.

Oh you poor thing!  They're all over, usually going by the officious-sounding title "Registration Page" or something to that effect.

[SredniVashtar]

My id's working fine, as you'll soon find out if you keep this shit up. Trust you to believe that drivel about the rubbish bins.

[AZZERAE]

The catalog of lost souls is registry free, but persists to an archivist's (Brig) sadistic delight.

Weeeee!  I missed you!  I've nearly spawned a whole 'nother sonnet for you.

I read Proust way too young and all I remember was him jacking off in the shrubbery.

You’re the worst one and everyone knows it.

Why they make kids read that is beyond me, except some kind of sadistic impulses of English teachers; frustrated in their careers- or lack thereof- or otherwise.

Is it a requirement to wear black turtlenecks and smoke Gauloises and affect some Continental twerp persona when reading Proust?

Never read the guy but your descriptions makes it seem that he might be hiding behind some BG handle at some point.  Not to cast aspersions on BG or any particular poster. Praise MV Liberace!

Oh, pish posh! Proust may be longwinded but he’s certainly readable.

There’s gold in them thar hills!

One would be hard pressed to see you ever taking some time off...

I didn't say he's unreadable, I was comparing him to someone else. Anyway, all but the most die-hard fans find him a struggle sometimes, particularly when he was dying and didn't get a chance to revise what he wrote.

[SredniVashtar]

You have your North American twerp persona so the switch shouldn't be all that onerous for you.

[AZZERAE]

All the kool kids read Joyce anyway.

A luxurious ghee bath and you come up still smelling like untended arsehole...

[K_Dubb]

See I read that too young, too, and all I remember is the pee.  Same with the farting on the Western Front.

Not sure what that means, other than the fact you need your medication adjusted.
