So I can't get to sleep at all tonight. Normally I wouldjt get boozed and drunk post you suckers but I've got nothing at hand.
I'm really tired but can't sleep. What should Ido!

Write a subversive adventure novel.

What kind of subversive? Cause any adventure novel I write is probably going to end with the hero realising the inanity of it all, maybe shooting some people and smoking a lot of cigarettes but it will end with me just writing "Fuck it" and stopping writing.

Have a wank?

You forget who you talk to. I have surpassed such primitive biological caveman rumblings.

E: Currentely trying to track a source for L'Incal. Comic book publishers are retarded.

Make it a choose your own adventure. And all paths lead to failure. The good ending can only be reached by ignoring the arbitrary restraints placed upon you by the book (a metaphor for society, obviously= and cheating.

DO IT.

This is fucking genius.

You are Max Broadbent, a journalist for a school newspaper who one day discovers a terrible secret that promises to change everything. What is the secret of the newspaper room? Will YOU discover it in time? Can you escape the dastardly and mysterious Principal Sharp? Are all the questions secret rewordings of existential dilemmas played out against the looming influence of Saturn, the nightmare planet? Find out in the "Stop the Presses: A journalistic japery!"

Every page is going to have the option "Shoot a stranger, go to prison, smoke a cigarette, die content" but it just leads to a picture of some fatcats sitting round a table laughing while they smoke dollar bills. In fact I think that will be quite a common death page.


On one page you battle the dragon who lives in the printer room before become depressed upon victory because
A) Your fetishised violence is no longer being supported by a media superstructure due to your reckless disregard for journalistic practice leading to your firing
B) The dragon's aggresion was a product of his environment and a supportive system of subtle reincentives could have reintroduced him to the wider world
or
C) You gorge on dragon meat which now lacks the appeal of the unobtainable leading you into a spiral of ennui and liftless depression.
Which will you choose?

D) Team up with the dragon to bring down some Milton Waddams-esque firey doom on the company before skipping off to Tahiti.

Considering how much you've drunken over your life, either your blood or piss should substitute as an alcoholic beverage for you.

F) You have fallen for the simplest trap of them all. Duringthe long school days as you counted yoru life being slowely subsumed in the milleu of your rudimentary education you often heard strange noises coming from the vents, dull rythmic thumps, slow purrs, gentle caressing wheeses, on those crisp winter days , small blasts of steam would tickle your back and fellate your nostrils. Principal Sharp has regulated you to the rythmic sexual pleasure of the machine- you will spend eternity locked in its caluculated embrace.

C) Bestruke by a sudden ennui you sprout a moustache and find in a closet a pair of Althusser's trousers, freshly preshed. You rename yourself Dick Sprocket but even such a dyanmo name fails to lift you. You sit in the corner. At some point you write some words but then you stop. You smoke a cigarette. The printer explodes and scorches Althusser's trousers- he would be upset. Your stomach attempts to contact you, it speaks in a chemical rumbling which lacks a register to disturb your rhetoric.
You die.
What happens to your remains
A) Many years later a cynical politician, Johan Marx, discovers your words, reinvents you as a hero and inters you in a national grave before he is discredited by his successor, Johannes Marx, and your are erased from mention through a sustainable campaign of prudent reeducation
B) Princepal Sharpe discovers your flesh makes a perfect newspaper replacement thus providing a month of massive profits and huge executive bonuses.
C) Some rapscallion teenagers find your body, poke it with a stick.

If I didn't just get back from an all-afternoon crunch session for Game Art homework, I would so Photoshop that.

My mother lives about as mathmatically far from me as is possible without leaving the planet. Thus any region that encompasses us both would be a fairly meaningless division.

Oh, so you're quitting just because it MIGHT be difficult. Well nevermind then. I didn't realise I was dealing with a sissy.

I want you to open up your book and look at one of those fatcat smoking pages, and understand that that's the ending you just got.
