salutations
Hi, my name is Betsy. I'm not one for forums per se but I dig Palahniuk and so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm open to discuss pretty much anything about his work, I've read everything published and all the short stories posted on this website. Also, if anyone is here from Central New York, please contact me because I feel desperately alone in that the only people I come across that like CP associate him with Fight Club the movie. Shit, I would give anything to talk to a like minded reader in my general area. I live in Syracuse and at this point, aside from professors, no one knows who my favorite author is outside of film.. sad, right? so msg me if you're in the area and want to meet in person to talk literature. Obviously weirdos and creeps gravitate toward this kind of work but please bypass me. 
wow, my first post feels very vague. Reading all these other posts I feel I should disclose a little more. About me, I'm a highschool dropout with a shit job and I moonlight as a bookworm/alcoholic. I sell my passable abstract art to get by, hardly that is. I'm a slave to music. 60's classics mostly, also yeah yeah yeahs, black keys, animal collective, roy orbison, bill withers, zeppelin, the kinks, and silver mt. zion. My other favorite authors are Coupland, Bret Easton Ellis, Hubert Selby Jr. and Chuck Klosterman. I'm half swedish and I want to be a therapist. I'm excellent at badminton and multiplication tables.
Still feels vague, but hello anyways.

This is why we can't have nice things.

BETSY IS A COW'S NAME
the only Betsy I can think of is Betsy Johnson, and I'm not even sure she's human at this point. I think she may be a reptilian.
Close. That's Bessy. And only toddlers call me that. 
Owned.
Wait, no-- Betsy is the name of the cow in the 2006 Charlotte's Web movie with Reba McEntire.
BETSY IS A COW'S NAME! (kinda)
Which half of you is Puerto Rican?

So Hogan (Irina's horse) is sitting in the bar, dripping water and just generally causing a scene. The bartener, rob, doenst know what to do, homeless crackheads waving broken bottles and demanding a free drink, that he can handle. But a fully saddled horse is something new. Being a seasoned vet behind a bar he decides to play it like he always does. He draws a pint, places it in front of Hogan, explained its going to cost him 2 bucks and starts serving everyone else. This is when you realize that Robs asking you what your going to have, and you realize there is a horse in a bar sitting next to you.
What kind of shoes are you wearing, and what kind of drink do you have?
