It's been quite a while since I've read it, so this may not be a fair assessment. But, I fucking hated The Catcher in the Rye. I wasn't even required to read it for school or anything, I just did. Perhaps I just found Holden to be insufferable. I think that was the point, but it did not make it a particularly enjoyable or insightful read at all, save for the overwhelming supertext of DO NOT BE LIKE THIS GUY. The part where he hires a prostitute and just cries in front of her really stuck in my mind. That was when it really sunk in for me that someone read this book and decided that Holden's views were so accurate that he had to go shoot John Lennon with a gun for being phony. Almost unbelievable.

Tattooing yourself for the bit is next-level.

It felt that way, too. Never really looked into it, but that's the feeling I had at the time. I should also clarify that all that I said verbatim was, "The Cosmic Joke," with no elaboration. It was quite humorous at the time.

I was tripping shrooms with someone, and at one point I just looked at her and said, "The Cosmic Joke," which was an entirely new term to me but we somehow both got it immediately and laughed about that all night. I have no idea what exactly The Joke is, perhaps the tumultuousness of life. I do know that The Joke is on us, and we have the choice to laugh along with it.

The person that named bumblebees was spot-on. Those guys bumble.

Well, you certainly seem like you don't care. Bravo!

The Lord also gave ya'll legs and the ability to move... Maybe put a little faith in that, too.

He only pulled out enough to devastate the Gulf.

I hope this is good, because those photos on the store page are sending me straight back to LBP on the PSP. I'm extremely excited.

I'd believe that. I tried Prime once and it tastes like the fumes from spray paint.

That game is so good. I went in knowing it was a horror game, and even still that reveal in Sayori's room caught me off-guard. Seriously, anyone here who hasn't played it yet, do it. The game is free.
