Thank you....it has become obvious what I need to investigate....

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly, man got to sit and wonder why, why, why.
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land, man got to tell himself he understand.

It pours off the page like it was written in my soul.

Sweat board, you are a Bokononist at heart. Choose wisely who you put your feet on.
BoC has my favorite page in it. It has a drawing of a dot with some squiggly lines on it. Then it says (sic) This is a drawing of an asshole. Or something very similar. It came at the perfect moment in the book when a non sequitur was needed. God Bless You Mr Rosewater was also a good book, bit Cat's Cradle is his best even though Slaughter 5 gets the most praise and accolades.

Who is Ayn Rand?  A dispicably hypocritical human being and simplistically obtuse psuedo 'philosopher', who makes me ashamed to be an atheist.

Not that I have strong feelings about her...

I'm pretty jealous I didn't think of Tom Robbins and Fruit Bats. Good call, fine friend. I humbly bow.

Ann Coulter = Nickelback

Ann Coulter=Nickelback was the funniest thing I've read in a while.

Who's Ted Nugent?

Strangely enough, I was actually talking to an 88 year old woman about Ted Nugent today. After describing him, she agreed that he's a total jerkoff, and said she believes men like that should be born with one less testicle.  So I explained to her that I refer to someone who is acting like an out-of-control asshole as 'a huge Nuge'.

So...Rush Limbaugh=Ted Nugent?

[MamaKel]

Jim and the MOF boys refer to The Nuge...
Monsters of Folk - MTV Supergroup Interview

thank you.....that was a comprehensvie overview. 

[ManNamedTruth]

So, reading over this thread I have come to the conclusion that I really need to read Kurt Vonnegut.  What should I start with?

Breakfast of Champions is my favorite. Vonnegut is probably my favorite author.
