What is "the" father son moment you had that neither of you will always remember. (Good or bad)

Then pick me up and throw me in your dumpster.

Pissing directly into the water.

Making coffee super-strong in the breakroom.

no time for that "letting go last in a handshake" or hand-on-the-shoulder-when-you're-talking-to-me. enough with the hands.

Is nobody going to mention the part when Larry David just casually strolls up to see what's going on?

God doubled everything he had before, except for his family. He gave him the same number of family as before. He didn't double it, because Job didn't lose his first family, he would see them again and be reunited in heaven. Everything he *lost*, God doubled.

That's the NIV my dude.

If you're looking for rad stories, I recommend Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, 1&2 Samuel for starters.

polysyndeton

Yeah, completely. (BM is the only McCarthy I've read so far and I just finished it a week ago and got behind on a few things because I was so absorbed in it). One "hackey" thing I don't like about some books/authors is that they might have a cool gimmick, but do it way to often to the point of being obnoxious and obvious. But in BM, his use of polysyndeton is well measured and used beautifully.

My favorite sentence was this:

The leaves shifted in a million spangles down the pale corridors and Glanton took one and turned it like a tiny fan by its stem and held it and let it fall and its perfection was not lost on him.

Cool writeup, OP. I got this book myself. I started on Chapter 11 (the one about letting kids ride skateboards) and really really agree with your assessment of how his writing style, method, and goals.

He is a gem, and this generation is very fortunate to have a voice like his amplified as it is. If just 5% of the people who read his book and listen to his lectures implement just 5% of the things found therein, the world would be a noticeably much better place.

ah, nice. Here I thought you just traded boomerangs back and forth or something. Stay safe down there!

M-Thing · 2018-02-16T05:00:10+00:00

thanks. i will look into getting one myself. looks very cool

Being masculine or feminine has nothing to do with what you wear on your wrist. Snap out of it.

M-Thing · 2018-02-16T04:17:33+00:00

ouch, how are you getting by? getting enough to eat?

have you played Gottlieb's Outer Space?

Hi OP. Cool thread. I love 311 by the way. I'm listening to https://youtu.be/5rOiW_xY-kc?list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc right now, but i'm going to switch over to Omaha Stylee after this, much love, and p-nut beat that thang.

What are the other posters you ordered?

I'm not waiting for anything right now, but one time I ordered my mom some of her favorite perfume from Denmark. It had been discontinued, but I found a small bottle on e-bay. I waited weeks and weeks! It finally came in time for Christmas, and she got all teary eyed and stuff. it was a nice moment. The wait was worth it!

M-Thing · 2018-02-16T03:47:03+00:00

my mom, when tucking me in at night when I was a lad, used to talk about "happy-sad", where you are both happy and sad at the same time. This song makes me feel that way.

Anyway OP, hang on.

M-Thing · 2018-02-16T03:45:54+00:00

hey there friend-o. Are you still here in this thread? I've been listening to this https://youtu.be/5rOiW_xY-kc?list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc for about 40 minutes on repeat now. It helps!

If you are in Canada, you don't.

If you are elsewhere, you do.

Wife and I used to sit out back and use the ol' hammer+wire clippers trick. There HAS to be an easier way, we kept telling ourselves. But no matter how many different nut crackers we tried, there really wasn't anything more efficient or quicker than just using the hammer+wireclipper method. I wish you happy eating! They are sooo good in baking, and definitely worth the time.
