@AshleyNunn It was only made by a KKK member . . .

user15026

I mean I know its historical value and stuff, but damn.

@DavidM I had the pleasure of listening to a reading by William Golding himself. At the end he basically said "If anyone tries to find meaning in this book, they're wrong"

user15026

@DavidM Still used as propaganda, even

@LessPop_MoreFizz Using the past tense because I meant that I didn't know who she was then type thing.

@PrivatePansy I didn't realize it for years and years because I didn't run into any other LeGuin.

Jules Verne is awesome!

user15026

I don't like most classic lit

Although, Captain Nemo will forever sound like James Mason in my head.

user15026

I am a terrible English major

@AshleyNunn Minus Alice in Wonderland!

4:02 AM

I love Alice in Wonderlaaaaand! :D

Mechanical Loon

@OrigamiRobot I read so many of these as a kid.

@FAE Greatest book ever written by a pedophile!

user15026

oh, yeah, that is an exception to the rule

@FAE <3

LessPop_MoreFizz

I also have super conflicted feelings about The Great Gatsby, but that has more to do with where I'm from than anything else. I suspect @DavidM has similar feelings.

4:02 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes!

It's a shit book.

But, it is about where we're from.

@MechanicalLoon Multiple times each.

@OrigamiRobot I totally forgot about these.

I did grow up in West Egg, after all . . .

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM It's not a shit book... but... I'm just so tired of it.

user15026

I read a book called "Alice I Have Been" that is an interpretation of the relationship between Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson that was really, really good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

4:03 AM

@DavidM I thought you were from East Egg.

Mechanical Loon

@OrigamiRobot I did this reading challenge thing each summer where you had to report how many pages you read, and I counted the illustrations every other page because they were captioned.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a decent book, but way, way, way overplayed for what it is

@LessPop_MoreFizz F. Scott Fitzgerald was such a self-indulgent douchebag.

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Great Neck = West, Port = East.)

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. My mistake.

4:03 AM

@AshleyNunn And misinterpeted. "Let's have huge extravagant parties like Gatsby!"

LessPop_MoreFizz

Y'know they tore down the old Gatsby house last year, right?

Over in Kings Point.

:(

@LessPop_MoreFizz No.

I didn't.

WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS GAMEEEEEE

LessPop_MoreFizz

@spugsley Because your mother.

I got it on audiobook read by Tim Robbins. It was SOOOOOOO awful. I usually like Tim Robbins.

4:05 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're my new favorite

user15026

@FAE oy, yes, that.

Mechanical Loon

Speaking of shitty old literature, the mere mention of The Last of the Mohicans makes me wince.

Have never read that one.

Mechanical Loon

The Red Badge of Courage taking a close second.

@MechanicalLoon I read it in Spanish just for shits and giggles when I was living in Prague for a Summer.

user15026

4:06 AM

@MechanicalLoon Those are both crap

@MechanicalLoon I had the Great Illustrated Classics version of this. Never managed to read it.

Anybody remember Book-It?

@Fluttershy I got so, so many pizzas.

Also overrated: No Country for Old Men.

@FAE Me too! :D I wonder if they still do that.

@Fluttershy No idea.

user15026

@Fluttershy I suspect this is an american thing

@DavidM Haven't read the book. Movie was amazeballs though.

Mechanical Loon

4:07 AM

@Fluttershy I think that's the reading challenge thing I mentioned before.

Cormack McCarthy is a highly functioning illiterate.

Mechanical Loon

Where I counted the illustrated pages in the Great Illustrated Classics.

@MechanicalLoon You would get a free personal pan pizza from pizza hut for reading enough.

@Fluttershy Javier Barden carried it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM yelpingwithcormac.tumblr.com

Mechanical Loon

4:07 AM

@Fluttershy I definitely got free pizzas.

@DavidM I've only read The Road by him.

@DavidM Eh, I thought everyone gave strong performances. Tommy Lee Jones was excellent, even though he was mostly himself.

@FrostEngineer I hated this book when I read it, but I suspect I'd like it now.

Mechanical Loon

Ooh, I know! Everything by Jane Austen.

Dammit Bridge, it's after 5am and I need to sleep but everyone's talking about boooooks.

4:08 AM

@FAE He writes like he just discovered a type writer and tried to mash his face into the keyboard.

user15026

@Fluttershy I would have had all teh pizzas

@Wipqozn Yup. That it does.

@DavidM The complete lack of punctuation in that one for dialogue made it really hard for me to follow sometimes.

user15026

We did reading things for charity, eventually people stopped offering me $ per page because I read too much

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE I'll reiterate: yelpingwithcormac.tumblr.com

4:08 AM

TERRIBLE punctuation. Drives me nuts.

@Fluttershy Oh man, I forgot about that

Jinx!

SO MUCH PIZZA

Bela's being super affectionate right now.

Also, Pizza Hut was a bigger thing than it is.

4:09 AM

@DavidM Haha this, yes.

user15026

@FAE I had to read it for school, and I liked it, sort of, but my inner copy editor wanted to fix it so much

@DavidM But. why do you, hate terrible! punctuation?

@Fluttershy LOL. I won't tolerate it in edited books.

Mechanical Loon

@LessPop_MoreFizz If this is an example of his writing, I know someone IRL who writes like this and thinks his own talent is a gift to the world.

@AshleyNunn I did enjoy the story, but the presentation was rough.

user15026

4:10 AM

I am trying to think of another book that didn't use quotation marks but I forget what it is and it is driving me mad

@LessPop_MoreFizz bwahaha

e e cummings best writer

@MechanicalLoon It is a gift to world. That doesn't mean the world liked the gift . . .

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MechanicalLoon It's a parody of his writing.

@Fluttershy @MechanicalLoon We had the Accelerated Reader program. You'd read a book and take a test on it. Each book was worth an amount of points based on it's difficulty. (IIRC Goosebumps books were 3pts, The Hobbit was ~35pts) At the end of each year, we got to go to a "school store" and spend your points on things. One year, I got Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2.

4:10 AM

@Ullallulloo Capitalize your DAMN NAME!

LOL

@Ullallulloo He is one of my favorite poets, but he actually didn't stylize his name that way.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot daaaaaaang

@OrigamiRobot We did that too! I got Lemmings!

Mechanical Loon

@FAE I almost never like poetry, but he wrote one of the two poems I've ever read that I enjoyed.

His publishers did that

Mechanical Loon

4:11 AM

One being the most cliched poem in the history of liking poetry (The Raven).

user15026

WHY DID AMERICA GET COOL SHIT

@Ullallulloo I liked Archie.

user15026

I just got charity donations

@OrigamiRobot Never heard of this.

@AshleyNunn We can't help it. We're just cool.

4:11 AM

@MechanicalLoon Everybody should like The Raven. As well as a lot of Poe's other works.

@MechanicalLoon Hey, that's one of my faves too. What's your other?

@Fluttershy Nevermore

Mechanical Loon

@FAE what if a much of a which of a wind

@Fluttershy Eh, I can see why it's not to everyone's taste.

@MechanicalLoon Poe has his place. He's fun to read around Halloween . . .

4:12 AM

Did anyone else read The Enoch by Robert Bloch?

Oh yeah... why is a raven like a writing desk?

user15026

One of the things I missed when I entered high school was that Scholastic Book Orders were no longer a thing

@Fluttershy <3 The Gold Bug

@Powerlord Poe wrote on both. :P

The Cask of Amontillado

4:13 AM

@AshleyNunn I missed those tooooo.

Ooooohhhhh . . . Unholy Night. Excellent book. Religiously irreverent. By Seth Grahame-Smith

user15026

This is my favourite brain-candy poem (I like it for the words and the sound): bartleby.com/122/14.html

Same guy who wrote Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

@AshleyNunn The orders, and the fairs. I loved just sitting in class when the librarian would wheel in a card loaded with bundles of books. :P

user15026

@Fluttershy oh yes that was awesome.

user15026

4:13 AM

@Fluttershy Seriously. It was GLORIOUS.

@MechanicalLoon I memorized this and performed it in front of my class as a book report. My English teacher let me do that in place of a full book because of the unconventional way doing it (acting it out, props, etc.).

Mechanical Loon

@FAE cs.berkeley.edu/~richie/poetry/html/aupoem198.html

Speaking of which, WORST screen adaptation ever. Worse than that, the screenplay was written by the BOOK'S AUTHOR!!!! WTF!?!?!

user15026

That's how i got most of hte Animorph books, because they would occasionally come in 10 for $10 packs.

@AshleyNunn Yesssssss

LessPop_MoreFizz

4:14 AM

@DavidM You say this as if the book was good to begin with.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I liked it.

user15026

@FAE I loved those books SO much

Mechanical Loon

@FAE It's a long poem. That's impressive.

@MechanicalLoon 19 stanzas!

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies is funny, too.

4:15 AM

@MechanicalLoon Could still do it if I reread it. I can still do the first 8 or so off the bat.

@AshleyNunn Me too. <3 I am sad they cancelled the reprinting.

user15026

@FAE I have most of them, I think

@MechanicalLoon I was also in drama club, so I did a lot of memorization back then.

LessPop_MoreFizz

This is my favorite piece of poetry.

Now I want to read poetry out loud. :(

Jabberwocky is the best poem.

Q: How do I save the pretty lady?

I'm having trouble in chapter five (the giant's battleground) where I come upon a tribe of ritualistic warriors. I figure that I have to draw them away, then hide in the image while they run off the cliff. Once they're all gone, I presume that I save the pretty lady. My problem is that I can't...

user15026

@DavidM Eeeergh

@AshleyNunn I have very strong feelings about Gothic literature. Most of them rage inducing.

@AshleyNunn I got rid of the ones I used to have. :( I had the extras too, like the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, Visser, etc.

@DavidM high fives I knew there was a reason I liked you

@AshleyNunn High fives back.

my baby sitters club books too

@Lazers Upvotes for clever title pls!!!

@AshleyNunn Had... so... many...

4:18 AM

Oh, did anyone have to learn an amount of The Canterbury Tales?

@MBraedley Done

I had to sell off most of my children's/YA books. I didn't get rid of my scary story/horror books though.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Key exception for me: The Turn of The Screw. So spooky. So good.

We had to lean the first X lines and recite them in Old English

user15026

@FAE I know....

4:19 AM

@AshleyNunn The specials, the mysteries...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Canterbury Tales != Old English.

It's Middle English.

@OrigamiRobot I read some of it in plain english. Never recitation, never old english/middle english

user15026

@FAE It made me sad when I learned she wasn't writing them all herself. I mean it makes sense, but damn

LessPop_MoreFizz

I took a semester of actual Old English in college. We translated the first chunk of Beowulf.

@OrigamiRobot I had to memorize The Raven, and Hamlet's soliloquy in high school.

4:19 AM

Don't tell me. I'm just telling you what I was told.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, ghostwriting was so huge back then, same with Animorphs.

user15026

@FAE Yeah....

You can imagine the rage that the recent release of a Jane Eyre movie being marketed as a horror film induced in me. Searing, soul burning rage!

user15026

@Fluttershy I never had to memorize poetry

@Fluttershy We didn't have to memorize The Raven, but yes to Hamlet's Soliloquy

4:20 AM

I don't even know how well I'd be able to do memorization like that anymore. I've had more concussions since then.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Time well spent . . .

@MBraedley Yeah, same.

I have also memorized the prayer from Boondock Saints, and Ezekiel 25:17. <_<

zzz... What the shit it's 11:30?

> To be, or not to be. That is the question. \ Whether 'tis nobeler...

4:21 AM

When did that happen?

@Unionhawk I feel you

I worked until 4:30 AM last night, took a huge disco nap this afternoon, and now I'm wired awake.

I'm convinced it was an instantaneous change

Because it was 9:30 like, 2 minutes ago.

@Unionhawk Yes, my Time-Changinator is finally working! Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

I want to be ale to hear if a shiny has appeared but prefer my own music collection to that played during game play.

@FAE oh, yes, that would do it. (I watched that movie once, and...got....distracted, so I missed chunks. Same with Rocky Horror....)

@AshleyNunn Dammit, Janet!

4:24 AM

@AshleyNunn The first time I saw Rocky Horror was during NYU's introduction week, complete with people yelling stuff and everything.

I got distracted at the Rocky Horror midnight show once.

I hate Rocky Horror and anyone who likes it.

Unsure if spam, or just oblivious...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Rocky Horror as a real communal thing in a theatre at midnight with cool people is very very different from rocky horror on video in a dorm room with a half a dozen nerds. The former hasn't really been A Thing in a very long time.

@Fluttershy I really don't think the URL needs to be repeated 4 times

LessPop_MoreFizz

The closest thing to that spirit is the cult that has sprung up around The Room in the past few years.

4:27 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz So how's your sex life?

@LessPop_MoreFizz It happens here every year. Every October, the local theater has a midnight showing of RHPS, and it is amazing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE Nonexistent! :P

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've never done either. I've just seen the movie.

@FAE I nearly spewed iced tea on that.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot then you are not really qualified to weigh in on the matter, tbqh.

@Fluttershy yeah, but the vibe isn't the same nowadays, IMO.

4:28 AM

@DavidM It's a line from The Room. The question comes about as completely out of nowhere as my usage of it just did.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I can't really attest to that. :P But I enjoy it!

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think being outside the echo chamber makes me perfectly qualified.

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's all those condoms people are using these days . . .

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Negative. I don't think anyone is going to deny that Rocky Horror is, at best, a mediocre film.

the whole point of the thing is the cult experience and the interactive thing.

user15026

I once went to a thing that tried to make the musical ep of BTVS into that sort of thing

user15026

it was mostly disappointing

@LessPop_MoreFizz I know what a cult experience means and that just makes it stupider.

@Lazers I edited out the spammy parts.

LessPop_MoreFizz

4:30 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, most of them are very forced and, well... feel forced.

the thing that was magical about RHPS was how organically the whole thing developed, and it's what's so similar and remarkable about the more recent thing surrounding The Room.

user15026

The Room is some messed up shit.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn eh, it's just a badly made bad movie.

@DavidM I just watch really random crap on Netflix.

@MechanicalLoon I liked it. Premise was awesome. Not well fleshed out.

@AshleyNunn Watch brick. It is on Netflix.

I wouldn't call it a favorite, but a movie that was really good that I've never heard anyone talk about is Worlds Greatest Dad

Mechanical Loon

@DavidM Yes. That is accurate.

Putting on Brick as we speak.

Mechanical Loon

I've seen Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run in English). It was weird.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Joseph Gordon-Levitt? that one?

@MechanicalLoon Yes. Haven't seen it, but I've seen it in rental places.

@PrivatePansy Yes they did

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

@LessPop_MoreFizz It must have gotten pulled, because I use unblock-us to get American netflix

@LessPop_MoreFizz Netflix lost a major deal with someone (United, maybe)

user15026

4:43 AM

@OrigamiRobot I got about ten minutes in and gave up

@spugsley is probably mad that I reminded her how dumb Teeth was.

Dolemite is a 70s blaxploitation film and damn was that thing incoherent.

Ah

Probably

Ugh, I understand why Netflix has to pull some things, but it's really inconvenient for at the worst times.

@AshleyNunn I made it till almost the end. It get's dumber.

Possibly, anyway.

4:45 AM

To be found on Netflix for me: 20 odd SciFi films... 200+ romantic comedies. sobs

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ever see Juice?

@DavidM The only big CGI effect battle in that movie was the dueling club stuff. Which was kinda meh.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Yuki Yes, but at least it won't induce brain damage.

Well, I guess there's the snake (basilisk), but that doesn't count.

4:46 AM

@Yuki Deathly Hallows then

@FAE Probably not on Netflix.

Ahhhhhh . . . Obscure movie that I liked: And now, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Well, active anyway

@FAE Yes. It's VERY RUDE, though.

@DavidM Always and forever @Sternold.

@OrigamiRobot Holy shit I need to see this.

@DavidM I've seen parts of it, not really my type of humor. One of my boyfriends enjoys it though, so I sort of see it by proxy when he watches it.

@MechanicalLoon You will be in for a huge surprise.

@FAE There is a fairly interesting statement in the sub-text here.

I found of those weird mess-up-Benedict Cumberbatch's-name thing again and I'm laughing so hard I'm crying

I just can't

@spugsley A Sherlock trailer?

4:53 AM

Bandertoot Cabbagepatch really got me

user15026

@spugsley snorts

Someone should make @Sternold into a scriptbot of some sort. And by someone I mean @fredley.

@DavidM Some people only have one partner, I have three, 'tis simple. :)

user15026

He loooks like a potato. (I saw an image comparing the two today)

@spugsley Oh, I misunderstood. Yeah. Funny.

4:54 AM

@DavidM Is it just me or does everyone just seem to tiptoe/poke at every mention of @FAE having multiple boyfriends?

user15026

@FAE That's one more than me :P

Mechanical Loon

@OrigamiRobot Just read the synopsis on Netflix. What the fuck is happening in that trailer?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM When @sternold isn't around, it tends to be me. But I'm not particularly old, and if you've got kids, odds are good you've got a few years on me.

@FAE I don't have a problem with it. I'm all for variety.

@LessPop_MoreFizz 38.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I call.

Mechanical Loon

4:55 AM

@DavidM I think you're older than @sternold.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Yuki Only people that aren't aware of the fairly well established fact that she's poly and in multiple relationships?

Mechanical Loon

Someone get @agent numbers in here stat.

@MechanicalLoon To be fair, any more in the trailer would spoil the movie. It's one of the few things I'm glad I went in not knowing what was going to happen.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM Yeah, you've got nearly a decade on me.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I didn't know the first time it came up and I really didn't question it or care.

Mechanical Loon

4:55 AM

@OrigamiRobot Will still watch because Robin Williams is the best.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me . . .

People's business is other people's business, not mine.

Mechanical Loon

Why am I about to start watching a movie at midnight?

@MechanicalLoon Except RV...

user15026

@MechanicalLoon Because why not!

4:56 AM

Yarp, @DavidM is officially older than @Sternold.

Confirmed.

@Unionhawk WAIT WHAT

how is that possible

At least I'm probably better looking than a potato

user15026

@Yuki Some people are just curious, and as long as they aren't dicks about it, I see no problem

Allegedly, anyway. Assuming @Sterno can be trusted to provide his real age.

@Yuki Lots of people tend to not be aware of how often they relate the gender or the number of their partner(s) if they have only a single, opposite gender one every day in casual conversation, so when something's stated that's outside that perceived norm, it catches people's eyes.

4:57 AM

Which... 35... hm.

user15026

@DavidM I suspect you are, I generally find people more attractive that potatoes.

user15026

@FAE ooh, you phrased it better than anything my brain had going

@AshleyNunn do I need to bust out the Benedict Cumberbatch potato hybrid again?

because I will

@FAE I guess. I just tend to be laid-back about most things, to the point where I seem (and probably am) apathetic.

user15026

@spugsley I might die.

4:58 AM

@AshleyNunn it's ok, I already died

LessPop_MoreFizz

Okay, you can shut down Twitter. These guys won at it.

user15026

@Yuki Wasn't it you that said about me having a harem? Or was that someone else?

@AshleyNunn Probably someone else.

@FAE Again, I don't have a problem with it. Don't misread. I just was taken aback because you're the one who originally scolded me for being vulgar.

user15026

@Yuki Entirely possible

user15026

4:58 AM

my brain mushes things together

@DavidM I don't think having three boyfriends counts as "vulgar".

@Yuki Neither do I. I just took her for more innocent.

user15026

@DavidM bursts into hysterical laughter

user15026

Sorry.

user15026

She's about as innocent as me :P
