i am accepting applications to be one of my interns; your job will be to buy eeeee eee eeee from st. marks bookshop with your own money until it becomes their #1 bestseller (email binky.tabby [at] gmail.com)

the title of my next novel is the statutory rape of dave eggers by al gore (ellen kennedy helped me with that title; we were at st. marks bookshop and i said, 'i should have titled my book "dave eggers" so it would say dave eggers on the cover,' and she said, 'you should name "statutory rape" "the statutory rape of dave eggers,"' and i said, 'is al gore better or dave eggers?' and she said, 'the statutory rape of dave eggers by al gore')

if a novel called the statutory rape of dave eggers by al gore existed there would be less depression and loneliness in the world

thank you ellen kennedy

good job

the title of this post was 'inspired' by ellen kennedy's 'the obesest hamster'
