For you bookish types (a meme)

Yes, a meme. Get over it.

Here are the Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book ( of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.

I reached behind me and without looking put my hand on a book. I yanked it out (don't get excited), and it was my text book from my composition class last year. "The Critical Edge: Thinking and Researching in a Virtual Society" by Emily Thiroux.

Page 123, sentences 5-8 read:

"He said that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supplied by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age or under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every counrty being now ready to starve from want of work..."

Okay, you know what? That's still just the first of the four sentences. This is pretty boring. Let me try this again...

Ah, "Ham on Rye" by Bukowski. An old favorite.

"We could hear each person's name as they walked across the stage. They were making one big god-damned deal out of graduating from junior high. The band played our school song:

Oh, Mt. Justin, Oh, Mt. Justin
We will be true
Our hearts are singing wildly
All our skies are blue...

We stood in line, each of us waiting to march across the stage."

Sounds pretty boring, I know, but it's a really good book.

Tag! You're it. All of you. Get on it.

FU, SU

Wow, this blows. Over on SU, they've made it so you have to sign up for an SU account to see R-rated content. What the hell? You can see R-rated stuff all over the web, from The Onion to the daily news. Give me a fucking break, StumbleUpon.

If I were more paranoid, I'd wonder if you weren't just trying to get all of the people who don't post shiny, happy (read: Clean and Christian) things to leave SU voluntarily (which would be much easier than forcing them out). Between the Unmoderated Group, CuntHunter, Zilcho, and lord knows who else - you're just trying to oust the unsavory folks so you can get more money from Ebay. Fuckers.

So, I'm transferring it all over here. Holy shit, that's going to be a huge project. But maybe it's just time I get the hell out of that joint anyhow.
