i'm going to vandalize your home in the future then kill you; i don't care about going to jail, it's worth it to murder assholes

richard:

maud newton will receive a '15 cents off' coupon

the coupon will be a word document that says '15 cents off' and i'll email it to maud newton soon; 5:16 PM
CLAY BANES said...: No freebies for me, thanks: I'm hooked up with a wholesale copy (waving hand, snapping fingers). Just come and sign mine.

I'll probably order a shelf's worth. Come to think of it, we'll return all of our McSweeney's titles.; 5:40 PM
Tao Lin said...: i am angry at this bamabro person

Behrle, Prince of Trolls said...: Ahem,

Not only is Geraldine a knockout, bamabro isn't from Alabama at all as far as I can tell. Although when I do finally figure out who you are (it's down to 3 suspects) I am making it my goal to ***smoke*** you, son! You left too many tracks! See you soon!

bamabro said...: it's sad it's not about poetry anymore it's all about race, sexual orientation, whether you have a blog or not. these days there's no place for us bamabros, but we'll treat you real good here in bama, tao lin.

The Overlook Press said...: This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.; 12:44 PM
Behrle, Prince of Trolls said...: Looks like you're actually from Cedar Rapids, Iowa!

xxxjimmy; 12:46 PM
Behrle, Prince of Trolls said...: Just fyi, sending veiled threats over the internet is now a federal crime:

You keep coming back (30 times!)--so I'm sure you'll get the message.

Tao Lin said...: bamabro:

the actionbooks contest said not to include a biography or sexual orientation, just the manuscript and the check, so it is still about the poetry i think; 5:01 PM
