Otherwise, as is said of a certain part of the human anatomy, it's just "chacun a son gout" JMo, from one bald, beard-less and NEVER pony-tailed. rather than a substance-free rant it would be interesting to read WHY you dismiss Pirsig’s book out of hand.

My. Gosh. In high school, I went out with a guy who was reading that book, and HE TOTALLY HAD A HUGE BEARD. I had no idea the book and the beard were related until this moment. If he asks me some day at a high school reunion why I never went on a second date with him, I think I will blame both. Oh. My. Gosh.

Both are bad. And inexcusable. And punishable by death. Alice: I like people who quote movies and the Simpsons. It is so endearing. They just have a quote for everything. SO special. Pedro: THis is why Europe is winning. Simon: By reading this blog you have promised never to read it. You cannot help it if people talk about it, but you, yourself, as a person with a brain, cannot physically go and buy and read this book. Debora: I think the chunks are too big to go through the straw. You need a fork. Aaron B: My apartment is so clean you have no idea. You can eat off my floors. I have no idea where these insects are coming from, I think my neighbor is dead next door. Sweet. Tht means I can take over her place, it is really nice 2 bedroom, rent stabilized.

That sounds like a terrible party. I was at a party over the weekend where I drank homemade vodka, ate a bunch ribs, and watched a 92 inch HDTV. Also: The party was at my house. I am amazing. In other news, CLEAN YOUR APARTMENT ALREADY. Roaches? Fruit flies?! Sweet lord. Do you live in filth or what? Wow. That sounds like a terrible party.

"But it's life changing!" - I kept hearing. When I got to the end, I thew it against the wall. The only change is a big dent in my drywall. Fuck that book. It sucks big chunks through a straw.

It's one of those books that is referanced in this country frequently, without quoting from it I add, by anyone over 35. It changed peoples inner lives like 'the female eunuch' changed thier outer lives. Seminal moment in the breakdown of traditional religious influences over politics and self censorship, basically. Haven't read it myself actually but have instead gathered from the context in which it's referanced so much I thought why bother reading it. Might do so in my old age.

If I had read it, it probably would have been a very long time ago and I probably would have gotten over it by now. <i>"but I just associate beards and that book. Or maybe a goatee. Some kind of facial hair."</i> There are smooth-faced dudes into that shit too. Many of them compensate with ponytails. OK, I won’t tell you.
