A.J. Howard Terry Jones' favorite work of post-war French existentialism?

(His favorite [The] Cure song is still "Boys Don't Cry")


Greg I was going to review this one as, A GUYS MOTHER DIES AND HE SHOOTS AN ARAB AND THEN HE DIES TOO.


Krok Zero In 12th grade English we read this book and my teacher brought in a Cure CD to play that song for the class.

I don't understand this new reviewing trend though.

Eh?Eh! There's something wrong...I think the punctuation negates the girlishness of the review.


karen i know it look like i am just trying to ca$h in on parody-votes, but i thought of this walking home and it just made me laugh. please excuse.


Paquita Maria Sanchez I appreciate the new, sleek, succinct review style that all the kids are embracing these days.


karen good point, eh! i have fixed it.


we are just tickled by what the kids are doing on the internet, and we are doffing our caps to them...


Greg I was thinking earlier that writing reviews like this is almost a reason to get a twitter account.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio The Myth of Sisyphus

MAN THINKS REAL HARD ABOUT DYING BUT DOESN'T BUT THEN DOES.

Greg Sadly she thinks we are all geeks, or nerds, or something like that.

Karen went to the Virgin Islands once. They are now, simply, "The Islands."


karen oh snap!!


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio Keeping that youthful glow is a real chore...


karen is this going to tie back in to my semen review??

Paquita Maria Sanchez Your flesh sings out for virgins for Karen. Like the sirens in a way, but more creepier.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio karen wrote: "is this going to tie back in to my semen review??"

Yes. Like all things.

Glaziness is next to godliness.


Paquita Maria Sanchez Male virgins, too. Sperm included. For to cook with.


karen these are words that will come back to haunt me. like, in a courtroom someday.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio Kristi wrote: "Your flesh sings out for virgins for Karen."

I do fetch when asked. I put some Jonas Brothers tickets on a fishing hook and reel it into the fiction section at B&N. If I do good karen gives me a semen-based treat and a pat on the head.

Will you be charged with multiple counts of spermicide?
HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


karen this is my favorite day on goodreads.com ever.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio Edible semen and French existentialism all in one day. It's sure been somethin' fun. Loud 'n blunt book reviews are so awesome.

But surely you're not a virgin! I suppose her standards may have lowered as far as her culinary experiments are concerned...it's not as if virgin spermen are in endless supply.


Paquita Maria Sanchez karen wrote: "this is my favorite day on goodreads.com ever."

At the very least, it's in my top 3.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio No, I'm just the slutty man-boy slave who fetches.

THAT'S more like it.


karen boooo!!!

i'm going to send you a copy for christmas....


Paquita Maria Sanchez PRUDE.


karen it sparked a serious vegan discussion.

it's not all vulgar....
it is sophisticated.

Joshua Nomen-Mutatio My pals and I had a similar joke-discussion about the technicalities of veganism and ingesting human bodily fluids. It led to the absurd notion that a true vegan would just have to kill themselves, since technically to live your body is more or less constantly consuming itself.

There's also the "Level Nine Vegan" as created by The Simpsons, which doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow.
