How did Chuck sign your books?
I mean, what did he write? He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would write the same thing for everyone.
I don't have Lullaby or Diary signed.... but all my other books are signed. So here's what he wrote to me:
Fight Club: To Andrea-- A Beautiful and unique snowflake!
Invisible Monsters: Sorry Mom! Sorry God! Sorry [U]Andrea[/U]!
Survivor: To Andrea-- Test [U]yourself[/U]! (and then he gave his picture some horns and a moustache)
Choke: To Andrea-- My favorite sex fiend!
I thought it was kinda cool that he capitalized "beautiful."

[QUOTE=jACKs c0Ld sWEAt]since i haven't had the chance to see him "here", when i wrote to him he sent me a copy of Lullaby in God knows what language. It says"Now how's YOUR spanish?" I don't get it.[/QUOTE]
It could be just some reference to the fact you live in Florida and there are a lot of Spanish-speaking people there. At least that was my speculation. I was born there.

All he wrote for me was "To ([I]insert my real name[/I])-Chuck Palahniuk". No special message.

Yeah, I got
To Matt
~Chuck Palahniuk
But then I was getting Survivor signed on the Diary tour.
"Dear Harriet, Thanks for the kangaroo scrotum! Chuck Palahniuk" <--- Invisible M.
"To Harriet-Be dazzling! Chuck Palahniuk"<---- Fugitives and R.
There's a story behind the first one, just so you know.

well, he could tell that I AM hispanic by my last name. But the book wasn't in Spanish, that's why I didn't get what he said.

It [I]was[/I] getting late at the time. He said he would stay as long as he could in order to sign all of the books. So he just half-assed it and didn't give me anything special. I don't blame him. I'm not bitter . . . anymore. He was cool anyway. He had an aura about him. Like in Chappelle's Show, the Rick James sketch. How Rick James had an aura. That was like Chuck.

Fugitives and Refugees:
To Aline - Good luck on the [U]outside[/U]... (then it's stamped with Property of Oswald Federal Mens Penitentiary (212) 555-3488)
I also got him to sign a book for my friend who couldn't come (she cried, a lot, when she had to work). He asked what he should write and I told him that she's the cutest girl in the world (we always tell her that). And he said that is a gross exaggeration and wrote
"To Amanda, you are NOW the cutest girl in the world" and stamped it with sex-change clinic stamps. Quite clever!

[QUOTE=twstedlgc]Can you tell me the story, or is it too long? :)[/QUOTE]
sure
Basically I wrote to him around May last year, asking questions on being a writer etc. As the letter was so appalling,and long (pages of lined paper) I thought i'd put something in, to make it a bit more interesting. About four years ago my Australian friend came back from her holiday visiting relatives and brought back a Kangaroo Scrotum purse. Apparently these things are sort of 'very token gift' where she was visiting. The purse was, erm, scrotum shaped and came in plastic wrapping with an illustration of a kangaroo with a plaster over its nutsack with the speech bubble: 'I'm ROOuined!'
At the time I was pretty disgusted with the gift, but when I was looking for envelopes I came across it and found it rather funny, and thought it may equate with Chuck's humour slightly.
Sorry, the story isn't very interesting...
I liked it.

I only have diary signed.
I got it at Stacey's. I did not intend to get a signed copy.
I just wanted a copy ASAP. They only had signed copies left.
"Chuck was here" w/sig.

Awesome. Just goes to show, kangaroo scrotums can be useful.

but my ex took my survivor my fave too

Also the Prince episode of the Chappelle show. When he asked Charlie Murphy to play - him and his friends against Prince "and the revolution". Then he made pancakes. Goddamn. I want to meet Prince.

When I wrote to Chuck in December, he sent me an advance copy of "Guts" before it was published in playboy.
The inscription was: "For Michelle's Eyes Only"
You think Chuck will be visiting South Dakota anytime soon?
"What we do in life, echos an eternity."
Diary:
To Richard,
chuck's signature
stamped Property of shady mountain mental hospital
and i also asked him if he would write my favorite quote on a white piece of paper, so i could make a drawing/piece of art out of it, surrounding his quote,
"Reality means you live until you die, the real truth is that nobody wants reality."
he couldn't read my writing, so there were a few screwups, but i made a drawing out of it anyway, and i want to send it to him to see if he remembered me
lol
it was awesome
that guy is awesome
so here i go...
i'm haLf the way to home...
