tao lin interns be prepared to be disowned

i am typing a post called 'good, bad, medium, disowned' that will categorize all known tao lin interns, i am typing this post in about 7 hours, if you are a tao lin intern who does not want to be disowned you have 7 hours to do something on the internet; detailed explanations of my choices will not be available

*7 hours later*

i think only intern #6 did something, i do not completely know if anyone else did things, so i don't feel qualified to categorize my interns, so i think everyone except intern #6 is disowned; i'm not sure what has changed because of this; i think a tao lin intern should think about 'what should be done' with themselves and the others and then organize something that benefits tao lin, i am really tired of doing the work my interns should be doing; i am not a tao lin intern, i should not be doing tao lin intern work

*12 hours later*

tao lin intern republican party uprising (official site)

tao lin intern vegan bake sale

*60 hours later*

In the name of Saint Valentine, don't do anything harsh to these young, confused, unpaid people! What kind of brute are you?

intern numbler 11

status: worried

put us in a box that says "free interns"

and write the 'E's backwards so it looks cute

Blogger jillian said...

i just googled "numbler", it is a web based spreadsheet

i meant to type *number

and didn't feel like deleting a post again due to lazy careless spelling errors

Blogger Tao Lin said...

jillian, were you drunk? i saw the first comment you made, you typed 'number' as 'never'

10:47 AM  
Blogger Tao Lin said...

jillian, i think you were drunk when you typed the first comment which you deleted

10:49 AM

all my interns do is get drunk all the time, i hate my life

I have been gathering a revolt against you for longer than I have talked to you electronically. A week ago I made www.bore-parade.blogspot.com . Our first ebook will be 'I am a little bit happier than Tao Lin'

any interns who are now against tao lin should come be my interns now and help me raise money to hire a lawyer to sue tao lin and melville house for repeatedly using my photographs without credit or permission. it will be fun.

Uprisings. This is why I don't have interns.

That and because no one likes me.

We're too small to crush, Tao Lin. We are the ants that run between the treads in your shoe.

thanks jeffrey for reading it so intensively it took three months

i think i support the revolution against me, it sounds exciting, kendra i would like to help you, what should i do?

8:26 PM  
Blogger jillian said...

the bake sale is supporting you but also supporting the uprising against you, which you are supporting.

jillian, that is a paradox that matches the rhetoric of my books, which say that consciousness and existence is a paradox which is the human condition, that paradox is the only truth, or something, therefore i make sense comprehensively in all my actions even in attempts at mad hits by way of gawker links

i feel good about this

Mr. Tao Lin,

I do not care for uprisings. I do not want to be your intern. I want to be your valentine. I will see you reading at the slam tomorrow.

yes

i think i should get points for that

are there intern points? you don't have to keep track, really, just award them randomly

it might be fun

10:07 PM  
Blogger The Man Who Couldn't Blog said...

That's right, blue. I forgot. And because you helped before I said that, and before all this intern talk, you are not simply a "pity intern." You are a real intern.

Therefore, here is a video of Emmett purring.

Maybe Richard Grayson will take your case pro bono.

First of all Herr Lin, I'm Intern 6, not Chris, who is Intern 5.

Second of all, can't a person not look at the internet for a day?! I posted to my blog (www.catherinelacey.com) a few minutes before you posted this situation and then I actually did some work, this work that I do called writing.

And then you know what I did? I had a whiskey and I went to sleep. And then today I did not use the internet until just now, when I got home.

I think 7 or 12 or 24 hours of not checking your blog is pretty reasonably, Herr Lin.

So there.

Sincerely,
Catherine Lacey (Intern SIX.)

i would like to join the revolution. i still want to be badass. ours is the most badass revolution - we even let the person we revolt against join us. we don't even have to do any work. we can just say "tao lin, we all agree that you should punch yourself repeatedly and eat helpless animals." we should keep him alive, though, so we can stay united in the fight for freedom with no definable end in sight.

being a tao lin intern is a good way to not be bored.

Mr. Tao Lin,

I do not want to submit anything. I do not want to be a revolutionary, at this time. I am not motivated by the lure of publishing. I just want to be your Valentine. I should have capitalized the V in valentine in my first comment. See you later.

You told the interns to be prepared and I wasn't prepared. I am wearing a sad face on the outide of my face.

I am going to spend the night removing my tao lin intern tattoo with a cheese grater because I cannot afford laser surgery.

2:09 PM  
Blogger ryan said...

I should have got the tattoo on my shoulder like the other interns. curse me and my penis tattoo

2:09 PM  
Blogger ryan said...

we should have a tao lin effigy burning. bake sale left-overs can be served as snacks.

2:48 PM  
Blogger James said...

interns should erect a giant sculpture of tao lin...only to topple it afterwards. pull it down with a pick up truck and a chain.

3:08 PM  
Blogger Tao Lin said...

sms, i am really afraid

the slam poetry is at 10 p.m., i feel like crying


ryan, if you didn't remove your penis tattoo with a cheese grater yet you should record it so you can put it on youtube to promote my next book

you will do well, I think. i like your readings. i would come and support your slam poetry reading but I am going out of town tonight. I lied about the penis tattoo I am sorry about that. I would let it be used for book promotions if it had a tattoo. perhaps fingerpaint. shrug.

i hope that you have a good slam and I hope I can read about it when I get back in town the week after next

there are a lot of comments here - good job

yo tao
haha. sorry
you didn't respond to my comment >:[
i am a full time high school student so even if for some reason, you felt like being nice, and let me be your intern number like 12983719285, i probably wouldn't be a good intern, especially seeing that you found it unacceptable for your interns to respond within 6 hrs or w/e. 12 hrs? idr. but i clicked the bore parade thing and i'm wondering, can i submit my work?

tao lin style comment:

grace, writing that is about how tao lin needs to change his ways, writing that revolts against tao lin's writing through form or content, and alot of other kinds of writing are welcome at bore parade. First and formost books regarding the tao lin jaguar uprising of 2008. Then other books. I will reply to all submissions.

ryan, tao lin will not be effected with kindness.

tao lin, I feel good, too. I hope someone videotaped your reading.

jillian, yes.

ashley, join us.

zachary german, submission information is up at bore parade now.

ohhhh kay
i don't really have any work revolting against tao lin right now but i can create some.
i kind of like tao though.....and his work.......is that bad?

Blogger My Name is Blogger Comments said...

I wanted to sign on to be a tao lin intern but I was afraid I'd be unnoticed or rejected. Now that there is a revolution I would like to join it but it seems like you have to actually be an intern to be in the revolution???

I had sex with a writer/English teacher last Friday night and afterwards I told him many things about tao lin; I think that should show that I am willing to 'think outside the box' when it comes to doing things to 'promote' tao lin, and that I should be credited with being a tao lin intern all along, so that I can now become a revolutionary and feel like I am a cadre in a serious uprising.

i feel uncomfortable

i tell my friends about you mr tao lin. i really do.
i want to know what you do as an intern
and how i would become one
like if it's possible at all
this revolution against you is quite interesting
