:loco:

Children and machine guns should not mix company, in my opinion.
And some of the adults seem to be unable to stagger their bursts.
What is is with Southerners and Mountain Dew?

Jesus! Yet more proof that Americans are FAR more foreign than just about anybody else! Even Turks!

Phew! So this wasn’t the one where that kiddie put a couple of Uzi rounds through his head. Man, but that can fuck up your family gun fun.

Your rabid anti-Semitism, anti-gunism, anti-Confederacy… um… I mean… anti-Americanism oozing to the surface there. :slight_smile:

Only thing oozing, or rather Uzing to the surface was that kiddies brains. I’m an equal opportunity hater.

That’s what I was thinking.

I’ve been reading a lot of William Faulkner that I missed earlier in life. That sounds like a lot of his dialogue.

Ayea, at Faulkner feller, I s’posin’ 'e writ right fancy lak.

As an English major in college, I took a class on Faulkner. We read something like 10 novels and a book of short stories: ie., a lot. I enjoyed the class and can see why Faulkner is regarded so highly. He created a great bunch of characters and fascinating tales. But his writing style: egad! Many of his sentences are more than one page long. More than a page of long, looping, twisted, convoluted, seeming endless, phrase after phrase after phrase, with so many names of people and places that one often has to pause at and recollect who or what was that, before proceeding to the next phrase, etc. He’s a challenge, but I’m glad I was forced to read all those books of his. Now I know. I’m sure I never could’ve read half of them if I hadn’t been forced to like that. And it was an enriching experience.

Hilarious responses… :bravo:

added:
I hated reading Faulkner. As bad as Joyce.

IMO, Henry James is the worst for convaluted, seemingly endless, sentences.

It’s interesting how, when you’re a “great” writer (or musician, artist, etc, I suppose), you can do whatever the hell you damned well please and ignore all the advice low-level teachers of the craft might dish out to their students. Surely 99% of English teachers or editors, if they were handed something by Faulkner (if he were their student or client), would tear it up with red-ink trying to make it more readable. I know I would have. :blush:
