i didn't know there were any Cure fans left
Calamari?
Hmmm.... makes me think of that old urban myth where a woman does the do using an octopus (use your imaginations) and blah blah blah ends up with really bad cramps and then shoots a load of baby octopi (is that right?) out of you know where.
Hope thats not the story.
Oh, it's about having sex with intestines. Don't bother yourself about it.
no one passed out at the kansas city reading. one girl got up and left in the middle of it, then came back for the Q & A. some people looke quite sad.
hey robot - were you the person at the KC reading who asked Chuck what he thinks about robots? Just curious...you know...with your user name and all...
This may sound evil. and bad. but what are the chances of someone out there taping his reading and posting it. NOT transcribing it, because that would be bad and illegal. But a bootleg of chuck reading couldn't be such a bad thing...could it?
Another point of interest (probably mentioned here) is that we who haven't heard the story shouldn't worry about it. Eventually, Chuck will be able to just think the story and we'll all drop like flies. Whoop ass!

I'm also dying to know what Guts is all about... I was laughing my ass off hearing chuck talk about the body count. He's not coming anywhere near me, so I won't get to see him *sigh*. I'll try to travel to him.

I don't know...it seemed like he really doesn't want it to leak out to the masses just yet...
Robots? So what *is* Chuck's opinion on robots?
That's the most random question I ever heard of, that's great.
"I've never caught a jewel thief before. It's very stimulating."

"Jeff, you know if someone came in here, they wouldn't believe what they'd see? You and me with long faces plunged into despair because we find out a man didn't kill his wife. We're two of the most frightening ghouls I've ever known."
Lisa Fremont, "Rear Window"
Jordie - you're response was about the same as Chucks...
The question came from the balcony, to which Chuck replied, "What do I think about Robots? Is that what you said? Well...I don't know...I guess I don't think about robots much..."
Or something pretty close to that. It was pretty damn funny.
Bobellis,
That is one damn ugly aviator you've got there.

no bob, that was not me.
I think we should continue to ask Chuck what he thinks about robots, every possible chance.
bite me
Wait, so is it about masturbating with intestines, or was that a joke? That doesnt' seem very unlikely for him.

What did Chuck write this story for? Is it going to be published in a book or somewhere?
writerPTL - let's just say the story includes both masturbating and intestines (along with a couple of other interesting things).
rjw - it's supposed to be part of a book of short stories yet to be published.
2 people fell while at the reading in Berkeley that I was, damn what a story

Nobody passed out at the Boston show either. He expressed his dissapointment.

[B] let's just say the story includes both masturbating and intestines [/B][/QUOTE] Wow. I was just guessing...
people should stop giving clues about GUTs, i know everyone wants to know what its about but trust me you REALLY dont beacuse once you know even a little it wont be a surprise and then its just lame. Just like you want to know what you are getting as a gift if someone tells you it takes all the fun out of it. Just let it be and wait. Allready reading through all the posts on cp.net you can piece together most of the story which sucks. I know somewhere the whole climax main point of the story has been posted lame lame.

Is it true or not that people really are passing out over this story? I've heard some people saying it's all just a hoax to get people to show up to his readings (like he needs a hoax to bring a crowd). Unfortunately, because I'm poor and Chuck won't be coming near my state, i won't get to see it, so ... is it true?

I think Chuck should come to Toronto so underpriviledged Canadians like myself can pass out, too.

:starts waving hands in air while jumping up and down:
I'm a fan !!!!
Wild Mood Sings is my favorite, I must say

"I did it because I'm a dirty dog"
Two people passed out at the NYC reading.
sura:
wild mood swings? whoa. i've NEVER heard anybody name that as their favorite. that's cool, though.
that was actually my least favorite
, the second least being Bloodflowers, although i did go see that tour because, well... it's the Cure!
I read somewhere (here probably) that Playboy had rejected it as being too graphic. Anyone know for sure? I'd love to see it in print.

He said it was re-accepted due to its popularity.
It's getting close to 2AM so I'm just typing the thoughts that appear in my head. Like this one.
Wouldn't it be great if Chuck did a whole book of these sort of stories, and they all stuck to the same theme? There would be GUTS. Then some sort of gross story about proctology, BUTTS. Then a story about losing yr testicles (a'la Fight Club), NUTS.
Followed by a story about people who have sex with dogs, MUTTS.
And folks into blood-letting, CUTS. Folks who put out easily, SLUTS. I mean, the possibilities are endless!
i'm talking to this girl on the internet and think she's starting to get freaked out
in space the stars are no nearer
Will, you should write to Chuck about that. I think he would find that funny. By the way, I mentioned you when I saw him, and he just seemed to light up.
P-H, yes.
i was at the nyc reading. i recorded the whole thing. he did say that its going to be in playboy. so i dont know about this whole "he doesnt want it to be leaked to the public" thing. and yeah i dont think it would have the same effect if you're reading it in a magazine. it has to be read outloud..and the way chuck says things and he knows just when to pause, its great. the story is really funny, but also exremely gross.. he did also mention in the Q&A that its not something that happened to him although its told from the first person perspective. it was told to him by a guy he met at a sexual addiction recovery place when he was researching for Choke.
so i guess i'll have to go out and buy a Playboy Magazine, something i haven't done in, oh.... nine years. 
I believe he said that stories one and two he heard from friends at various parties, and three was told by a guy at a sex addict meeting (most likely talking about what his crazy masturbation habits led to) when he was researching Choke.
man i can't wait to hear these!!!!!!

[B]Chuck has also expressed that he does not want anyone recording it. [/B][/QUOTE]
When did he say this? He didn't say a thing at Pittsburgh last night and I had my recorder in plain sight.
¡Alex!
If you could have sex with any historical figure, who would it be?
"I'd have a three-way with Adam and Eve." - Chuck Palahniuk
in what way is the story gross. as in blood and gore?
yes, and oh so much more.

SLUTS...yeah, I'd pay money for that.
At the end of this movieclip: [url]http://www.vpro.nl/rmstreams.db?14335914[/url] you can hear and see Chuck reading Guts. And IMO if you can stomach Amercian Psycho Guts isn't all that interesting.
What can I say, I'm just a lovable person.
