hey...i'm new, which seems to be the trend. i got into chuck through fight club. i have read lullaby and choke. i am currently working on fugatives and refugees. i went to the Q&A/fight club viewing in LA and chuck tore my movie ticket and gave my friend a porn dvd. it was great. he really is a hilarious guy. well, i'm just looking for people to talk to with some intellect and obviously a similar interest of reading chuck's work. Smile Big

You'll find no lack of Chuck P fans around these parts. Now intellectuals... that may be an entirely different story.

You were right, nothing is as good as you imagine it to be. take a stroll by the General Discussion forums and you'll see how very true that can be, even in a made-up non-space like the internet.

On the upside, you can pretend to be whoever you want and your friend can get all the free porn he/she desires on our good friend internet. Sadly though, according to my Gallup Polls, most of it is not disseminated by Chucky P.

Alas, Paepr Street Porn...

What might have been.

*sigh*

actually, the title is from Choke by mr. Palahniuk. if you are looking for a flat-chested girl with a push up bra, you may want to try other chats with 12 year olds trying to be 18.

In all fairness, Chucy P. novels are pretty simple. We all quite like them, but they don't require intense deconstruction generally.

Now when you say you're perched in your electric chair, do you mean like Ol' Sparky, Don't-Mess-With-Texas electric chair? Or do you mean like a regular chair that's been decorated with christmas lights and other shiny electric stuff?

I [I]wish[/I] it was a big comfy chair with sparkly lights and shiny do-dads, but I'm getting ready to fry. I've done some bad things. If you're feeling ambitious, though, you could be that someone who saves my life tonight and bust me outta here before I go up in smoke.
