So since one person, just one person, took note of a less than usually recognized author I'm instituting a "What do you mean you don't know Brautigan?!" poetry corner. Now sure I could have fun and post chapters from any one of his wonderful novels but we're going to start with poetry. Why? Because, frankly, it's easier for me to transcribe. So here we go....

Given the nature of this website there are lots of claims to be "anti-establishment," or "anti-mainstream," or "anti-capitalism." My question is what makes you so anti-establishment?

Here's my purpose in asking this, talk is simply talk. What action have you taken? What have you actually done to push against what is established in order to provoke, or at least aid, the ever present push of...

Alright we're taking a brief break from my annoyingly long list of music that no one cares about. Usually I'd just keep going because I'm neurotic but I figure this is more important.

What are you doing with your hair?

This is a question that is applicable to everyone, men and women alike. I understand this is a community, right? And a community searches, in...

Lists, lists, lists! Everybody seems to love lists. Long and rambling things that don't make any coherent sense without some proper context.

Yoshihiro Tatsumi is a godfather of the graphic form. Whether you're talking manga, comics,...

You sit around and stare off wistfully, lose track of time, want to claw out to try hopelessly to acquire the source of your desires? Know that feeling? Fuck me I'm in it deep and there's no way out....
