New Chuck Palahniuk Short Story "Knock-Knock In The December Issue Of Playboy
Chuck Palahniuk's hilarious short story Knock-Knock, is featured in the December issue of Playboy. So... yep, fellas. you now have an excuse for your woman to go buy Playboy. If you didn't get a chance to see Chuck on his Tell-All tour, then you missed out on this story. Chuck read it live at each event. And you know how Guts has a few of those moments that just kill? Well, Knock-Knock has one payoff in particular, that brought down the house.
I'll see about getting permission to post the actual short story here on the site, but that probably won't be until the magazine is long off newstands. For now, you'll just have to be good little perverts and go pick it up in person.
Or, just order it from their website here.

cant wait to pick this up and read the story, my favorite memory of the story was in san francisco, he would say the title and these guys on the balcony would say, who's there? chuck let them do it three times and on the forth time he went, "telling short stories is like having sex, you dont talk until I tell you to"
awesome silence after that <3
I don't know much about these magazines...
...but, does anyone know when they come out. Earlier than December I'm assuming. Like cars, the next year's model comes out the year before.
Now I can say I actually do get Playboy's for the "articles" haha
It's available now.
What a bunch of bullshit THIS sentence is. WHo wrote this drivel?

At some point, Id like the world to realize that most women embrace sex, porn and masturbation but they arent going to admit it fully until ignorant people stop painting ignorant sterotypes.
Besides, I doubt any man that would be a fan of a CP site, would be stupid enough to be with a woman who would mind if he bought Playboy?

Oh, calm down and shut up.
isn't playboy pretty much on the same level as Maxim and whatnot nowadays? Anymore, it's not the same thing as Elderly Pissers Aficionado.
Oh, calm down and shut up.
Sigged.
Or, you already have a subscription. Thanks for the heads up, Dennis.
Oh, calm down and shut up.

You got it backwards. First you gotta admit it, then the "sterotypes" will change.
Did anyone enjoy it? How do you think it rates in comparison to his other shorts?
Personally, I think "Mister Elegant" is his best.

Newsflash, you can embrace sex, porn and masturbation and still not like Playboy.

The story was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I swear I just bought the issue to read Chucks story and not to cozy up with Kendra.
That Kendra chicky is seriously icky.
i don't know who Kendra is, but I'll bet one dollar she's from some reality show. amirite, amirite? no, really. Am i right? Because I don't know.

mellisa, your horse is too high for ya. the post den wrote was for the purpose of being informative, and a little humor goes a lot further than the tragedy you coughed up. smile, dont be so grim
she's famous for fucking a very old guy with a bunch of other "bunnies". a few reality shows came of it, naturally. and i meant came as in the past tense of come and not cum, cause that's just gross when thinking on icky chicky

Getting a few sigs out of this thread. Keep it up Cult.
Best short story I've read this year. Luckily, my barber keeps Playboys on hand
for waiting patrons. I've been a fan of CP since reading Survivor in one day.
So many offensive jokes, such a brilliant summary utilizing all the obscene images that he uses throughout the story.
I want to read it again so bad, I may just buy the mag.
It's got a reprint of all the pinups of the 80's like Bo Derek, Terri Welles (star 80) Barbara Bach, Kim Bassinger, Mariana Gravatte, etc.
I didn't even know where to buy Playboy anymore! It's true, I could have gone into one of those shops... but I never carry cash anymore and didn't want to put it on my credit card (I kept on thinking about how Jerry Springer paid a hooker with a personal check).
I'm not trying to sound like I've never bought a Playboy before (I actually have the one with 'Guts') but it was over five years ago and I wasn't married and I didn't have a kid.
So after unsuccessfully trying to persuade my wife to get it for me, and asking close friends where to find a store that sold Playboy--you'd be surprised how few sell it around me--I gathered up my courage and proceeded to a corner store in the city.
I parked close to the door.
I walked straight to the counter and asked for a Playboy.
The female cashier asked, "What?"
And I more forcefully repeated "Playboy."
The cashier nonchalantly retrieved the magazine and rang it up while I hunched over the counter, sure that she and her fellow employee would laugh at me when I left.
After swiping my credit card, she asked, "Would you like a bag?"
I promply replied, "Double... please."
I quickly exited the store, pressing the magazine into my side, hoping beyond hope that I wouldn't run into anyone I knew.
Looking next door, coincidentally a donut shop, I notice a police officer approaching his car, eyeing me suspiciously. I had to convince myself that I wasn't doing anything wrong and to stop looking so suspicious.
Finally, with the magazine bought, car started, and pulling out of the parking lot, I feel like I'm in the clear... that is until I look down and notice that I hadn't removed my name badge, which includes picture ID, from work.
I know, I know... it's just a magazine and get a grip, but I realized two things that day:
#1 Being married must have put me beyond my comfort zone to buy Playboy magazine (not that I was ever thrilled to buy it before--I'm guessing this because I don't remember having such a reaction in the past)
and
#2 I have become the biggest wuss I know
