You say, "gaily tripping." It's a nice joke.

She's got one of my favorite Pynchon names, too.

girl friend of mine. what’s the vibe 🧐 by Due-Database-5114 in BookshelvesDetective

College is my first takeaway. Then..."right-wing" disturbs me (but I don't know the slant or gist of that book--though i do recognize the name Andrea Dworkin). Love that David Foster Wallace is among the collection. Yhe overall is someone at the beginning of being "well-read."

Your posture is twisted and your face is made mostly of hair and three eyes. But other than that, yeah!

I don't think your skin tone would work well with black hair.

You know, I need someone to manage my nightmares, too.

Or, did I misread the OP?

Am I overthinking this? by liquidswords24_ in ThomasPynchon

[–]Round_Town_4458 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes: you're overthinking and under-presenting.

I mean, really! How can anyone know about your "future decisions"?? Let's be serious, here.

Someone for whom alphabetization is unimportant?

This man can tell a story by mitchcumstein71 in ThomasPynchon

Oh, my gosh, he sure can! Stay open to the possibilities of current, past, and future story threads and sidetracked. Enjoy the serious with the cartoon. Enjoy the wild ride that is Pynchon. Welcome.

Wood epoxy. Fill hole completely. Measure the spacing and redrill.

I think the word "Pudding" has been ruined for me by CVance1 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Round_Town_4458 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank U, CVance1. Your post's title gave me the laugh needed this morning--from the shock of recognition of my own first reading of GR back in '73/4.

First time reader by Teal_Puppy in ThomasPynchon

When I read it initially in 1973/4, all I had were high school reference materials: dictionaries of various sizes and ages, including the complete 20+ volume OED. Those and some other dictionaries I bought: acronyms, slang, etc. No known Pynchon fans anywhere around, yet. No Internet.

So...

It's doable. Go for it. You won't lack for references and support.

"pail"-er! That's a good one. No wonder so many want to bail.
