Beyond Internet Publishing: New Novel Revealed Via Internet Message Board

Published: April 19, 2010

 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In his treatise on media theory, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, Marshall McLuhan suggests the media themselves are more important than the stories they carry.

What about that time when we....

No, I guess you wouldn't remember that one.

Hmmmm...

OK, how about when....

nope

See, I guess you wouldn't remember any of those times we were together.

Oh, wait.

We were never together.  What about the time when you and miles.... errr .....

Or when you and Flash.....

oh, no

wait

I guess you weren't ever actually "with" them either.

You know

because you only know them on line.

On the damn internet.

And the internet isn't real.

This whole god damn group has NOTHING real to it.

It's just words.

Just words that aren't even what people see or say in the real world.

Words that are protected in the anonimity of the world wide web.

Don't you see?

And ahead a water fall ...

and we
wonder

what lies below~`

SEriously.

Seven boiled eggs a day.

On a schedule.

That is ALL that this bastard eats.

ANd most of his teeth are fake and he only puts them in when he wants to talk.� Apparently he has enough teeth to eat eggs without the fake ones.

So tonight, when he's eating egg number five, he looks over at me with fucking half-eaten eggs spewing out of his mouth, and he holds up the remaining half of the hard-boiled egg, and he says.

This batch is beautiful. So round and so smooth. And almost as big as my nuts.
