Gifts from Chucky P
I once asked Chuck a question at one of his readings, and he passed out envelopes to every questioner that were addressed to his agency in New York, and that he asked us to send in with our own address. I did it and got back a small miracle, a remarkable box of gifts, including a necklace that he strung himself and that I now wear every day.
The full story's on my blog.
Best,
Geoff
necklaces are sweet, but the best thing he ever sent out were the cd recordings of him reading short stories.
my severed arm says: 'to aron'.......i asked him to write this after hearing the story about the severed limbs accidentally being sent to the book reading for that mountain climber, who when trapped, cut his own arm off. chuck called me a sick fuck....might be the nicest thing anyones ever said to me

ha! I remember that, and he was right!
Yes, those CD's really are the very best thing he's ever sent out.
I have a blow up doll that says, "Pete, No rough stuff big guy!" with a heart.
I treasure it too. But my girlfriend that I had at the time hated it. So it stayed in the trunk of my car. When I moved my friends were getting stuff out of my trunk and were like, "Uh, WTF is this?" lol
Nice! I have a necklace, too. And an Elvis blow doll, and a severed foot. The Elvis doll has this written on it:
To Mirka,
Now you can use the carpool lane,
Love,
Chuck Palahniuk.
I've never blown it up, but I do treasure it. (Also, carpools here require three people!)
EDIT: The severed foot is a FAKE, not a real foot.
