douglas couplands career is so funny like every 6 months in the 90s he’d write a new book called “generation pizza” and immediately afterwards people would have to walk around with their brows furrowed like “have you heard? apparently they’re saying it’s a generation pizza, now… ohhhh what a world what a world”

i haven’t read any of them since trying shampoo planet when i was a teen so i presume i’m being hideously unfair here lol, i’m just sort of amused by the mangled mental placeholder i have for all those books as like movie tie-in novelisations but for thomas friedman columns

Wow, I read jpod too but I totally blocked it out til you mentioned it. I still can’t remember what the plot was besides something about a hugging machine at a tech office.
If I were the guy at the end of Fahrenheit 451 and I was assigned jpod, we’d either be screwed or better off.

Imagine how much water you’d have to drink to be the first guy to be given the surname Drinkwater.
This mfer loves drinking water …

I was actually just looking this up because in King of the Hill, there’s an episode with the ball player Kurt Bevacqua (Drinkwater). It was a medieval name for teetotalers. “Mr. Only Drinks Water”.
