If it helps my cause, I do make a mean cocktail and am willing to bring hookers and cocaine upon request. However, any bizarre hazing rituals involved in your "long and drawn-out process" could be a deal-breaker on my end.<br /><br />2. expressed a such a full-throated endorsement of east of eden. I go back and forth on steinbeck, and am intrigued by the prospect of being re-convinced of his genius by an opinionated partisan. <br /><br />3. called me out on the third person self-referential deal. it's a new, trial behavior for me...I think it stems partly from my continuing amusement at my toddler son's habit of doing same, as well as from the power rush that accompanies the semi-anonymity of internet comment posting. Am now considering switching my pinatavalentines pseudonym from j-fo to 'he hate me', just because I can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036715657429075643.post-87141071992930665592010-03-25T08:29:48.165-04:002010-03-25T08:29:48.165-04:001: obtaining membership in TBC is a long and drawn...1: obtaining membership in TBC is a long and drawn-out process. one can't just "join said club"<br />2: East of Eden is awesome<br />3: however the fact that you continue to refer to yourself in the third person (by a pseudonym) makes me think you would fit RIGHT in . ..Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13499463929107296531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036715657429075643.post-66678292419321157932010-03-24T23:12:13.227-04:002010-03-24T23:12:13.227-04:00yiddish policemen's just might entice j-fo to ...yiddish policemen's just might entice j-fo to join said club. <br />east of eden, not so much. <br />heat, and my wednesdays will remain(ready for the pun?)unbooked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
