A dreary and self-absorbed manifesto of loneliness

worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is the slave

That's a haiku from Fight Club . Even though I've read the book a couple of times and seen the movie 7700 times I never noticed it before - its on The Narrator's computer screen at work for three quarters of a second . I like it . It makes me feel good . Sometimes I wonder why I love Fight Club so much when the entire premise of the movie is massively flawed . Maybe that's why I like it ? Whoa . Deep man , deep .

Obligatory work complaint . The other day two of the brain donors I work with had a 45 minute conversation about chicken nuggets . I know that you see that number and scoff a little internally - and you are right to do so because exaggeration is human nature . Partially because people have a terrible sense of time in general and partially because if you want attention you have to lie . No one cares if you sat at a stoplight for THREE minutes even though in reality that is a long time to be a stoplight . So three becomes ten or fifteen or FOREVER .

However I am telling you , this was a legitimate 45 minutes folks . Mostly involving a nugget-by-nugget cost breakdown based on the different nugget orders . These two filthy cro-mags who cannot understand how averages work were throwing out things like "If you buy the 9 piece nugget combo that's X.XX per nugget but if you get the 12 piece combo its Y.YY excluding the drink of course" and hitting it right on the noggin TO THE CENT every time . It just goes to show you that people aren't so stupid as they seem - they just don't give a shit about meaningless things like their source of income , they have important chicken nugget equations to solve . And the best part , THE BEST PART , was at the end , after 45 minutes of this . The lady moron says ;

"I should have just gotten fries instead ."


I was blown away .

Speaking of awesome things said at work I happened to be walking by and heard someone say "So I just grabbed my Pop Tarts and RAN brother !" I have no idea what they were talking about . I like to imagine that the dude put his Pop Tarts in the toaster , there was a volcanic explosion , a superheated cloud of deadly gasses and whatnot is barreling down at him , and he's anxiously dancing by the toaster failing his hands and saying "come on , come on , come on , come on" and then just as they pop he grabbed the tarts and tore ass out the door just as the deathwave hit . Of course juggling the hot tarts from hand to hand and saying "ow , ow , ow , shit , ow !"

I could do with a hot tart right about now , I tell you what . Either kind .



I know I've said it before but I feel like sluts get a bad wrap . They provide a valuable service to society . Many (many) women complain about how dudes are all up in their junk all the time wanting the sex , but think about how much worse it would be if there weren't sluts out there taking some of the pressure off . Not only that but without sluts doing all the kinky nasty stuff you don't want to do all that weirdness would fall right on you . The next time you have boring weekly missionary sex and then watch the Daily Show you can thank the slut who bent up like a pretzel in a Wendy's bathroom getting blasted in the ass while getting lightly choked for that . Sluts are like garbage men - they keep things nice and clean for the rest of the world , they take care of all the dirty shit you can't handle . And sadly like garbage men they get little credit for it .

Also they don't have a union I don't think . Which may be okay . I have mixed feelings about unions . As I do about most things .

Anyway , I , 40Deuce , salute all the retired , reserve , and active duty sluts out there . You're doing fine work . I'm sorry your dad was withholding .

I feel like I had like literally totally a bunch more things I wanted to blog about but I can't remember them now . I think I had a long anti-love diatribe planned , but who wants to hear that ? Its nothing I haven't said before anyway . I believe I also had something about the aquatic ape theory and maybe a short snippet about the origins of human violence ? Maybe . I'll check with my assistant ant get back to you on that .

Now Fight Club is in fact a giant and very interesting semiotics puzzle. I love it and I hate it and thank you for reminding me of it because I needed it for a list I promised someone. We're having a mutually beneficial day, aren't we.

The book or the movie ? Or both ?

I do enjoy mutual benefitting - all night long if you know what I mean .

I guess I'm a retired slut but I'm glad I can still get some appreciation.

Just pass some boring missionary sex my way - thanks.

OK, I feel safe here. I admit I haven't read the book. I've read about 50 essays by my students about the movie though. Does that count?

Does mutual benefitting have anything to do with parimutuel betting? I'm not really a gambler. Not that you were flirting with me or anything, I realize that.

It counts as something . The book is better of course , and at least in some copies there's an afterward where Chuck Palahniuk talks about how he wishes he never wrote it because people harass him all time about it .

Flirting in cyberspace ? What would the founding fathers think ?

    Quoting  :

I've watched parts and seen animated gifs.

OK, that's even funnier than me asking if reading essays is like reading the book.

I should write a blog about the time a guy sent me a blowjob GIF and tried to defend it as an interesting semiotic specimen.

Geeze, if someone left as many comments as I have here on a post of mine, I'd totally ban them. Just sayin'.

Do they have nuggets at Wendy's? They have baked potatoes. I much prefer those over fries.
