WHY DO YOU KIDS INSIST ON DOING THE STUPIDEST SHIT!

I leave for one day and all of a sudden you're chatting up a storm about ball hair, pornography and Harry Potter. Come on! I just... I don't know what to do with you people.

[KeithHernandez]

one could argue that you could also have... an actual naked woman behind a book.

Having her behind a computer, maybe. Behind a text-file... well then you get into all kinds of weird things where "is being behind the screen the same as being behind the file," etc.

That sounds like a question for mr. opinion.

Personally I think that a pat on our collective backs is in order

[littlefallsmets]

Hot nerdy girls and sick fucks.

That's what this place is full of, you knew that when you signed on.

Pleading ignorance now will only cause you to be pelted with more pornography.

You gotta love an internet messageboard where a post suggesting that one consider the possibility, theoretically, that the internet is better than books in some context, is met with a flaming defense of books.  Sure, so the thread then turns to porn - it's still the internet, after all.

[melack]

Alright, alright. I was just jokin'. I actually quite enjoyed sMet's rambling screed on private fuzz. I don't see how doing that as a silly side project and writing an epic novel are mutually exclusive.

Well if we're gonna be serious - absolutely. Especially since you can't tell in advance which will be more successful...most books don't make money,and you never know, make yourself a website logo and start selling tshirts and next thing you know you might have a fulltime warehouse guy and a rogue messageboard about you.

for the record, I like the internet and books for different things.

Erotica just isn't any good read on a flickering screen, I like naked ladies better when they move and make noise... each medium has its strengths.

Seconded.  Not just porn, but music too.  Something like Locust St. could only exist on the intarwubs, and my life is better for it. 

Also: the rousing defense of books came about partly because of my recent writing experiences.  Leaving all commercial considerations aside, there are two types of people in the world*: People who have gone to the trouble of writing a book, and people who haven't.  I have a lot of respect for the people who fall into the first category, because I am still not one of them, and most likely won't be until sometime late in January.  It's fuck*ng hard, but even as I type these words I feel guilty for writing here and not working on the book.

dude, there is porn that is one hell of a lot more explicit than Playboy in dead-tree form.

I see it on shelves in stores, and laugh. And then return to the cornucopia of warm fallopia that is the internet (I cannot take credit for that rhyme. Also, I know that those are on the inside, it is just a good line. be serious.)

The rhyme may not be yours, but you still get a tiny can for that dandy voice that makes the most anti-choice grannies' panties moist.

[theinevitable]

YESSSS.

that is the rhyme that me and my friend Karl use to introduce people to the work.

That, and "I'd jizz early, inside liz hurly"
"winona ryder? goin' inside her"

[V-Adore]

See, I read that sentence as "cornucopia of warm fallout" about five times in a row, and I was wondering desperately where the rhyme was. And then I read it right, and I still think that "cornucopia of warm fallout" is a fine description for the Internet as well.
