Replying to a thread with an image bumps it to the top of page 1. You could have replied with a snappy retort and sage'd the thread, allowing it to slide to page 10 and destroying my little shitposting parade for all eternity. But instead you decided to reply with a goofy image of john green and a screencap of the poster count, allowing this cancerous content to reach more eyes than I ever could have reached on my own. Not only have you aided me in my quest to irritate and annoy the denizens of this board, but you have also embarrassed yourself thoroughly.

Wallow in your failure, pseudointellectual.

funny how a simple meme quote can be so revealing that the memester hasn't actually read Gravity's Rainbow, only has a vague notion that there is a character in it named Slothrop
>>
>>8604358
The book actually almost does a title drop, though.

>“But it is a curve each of them feels, unmistakably. It is the parabola. They must have guessed, once or twice—guessed and refused to believe—that everything, always, collectively, had been moving toward that purified shape latent in the sky, that shape of no surprise, no second chances, no return. Yet they do move forever under it, reserved for its own black-and-white bad news certainly as if it were the Rainbow, and they its children....”

Wew he can't even meme without getting triggered

The original title was "mindless pleasures", which does literally appear IIRC, though it's not much of a title drop either.

>>8604629
I never said that, I just think it would have been a better meme if the OP did something like:

>“But it is a curve each of them feels, unmistakably. It is the parabola. They must have guessed, once or twice—guessed and refused to believe—that everything, always, collectively, had been moving toward that purified shape latent in the sky, that shape of no surprise, no second chances, no return.

>Pooh watched Piglet out the corner of his eye, and Piglet waved. The ignorant little shit was actually waving. How harder to tell him, to let the borders of all the known world of content and security torn down by a terrible flood, the rushing of mean, vulgar fate, the careless gods' immaculate stare... how harder to say, in the face of smiles and fat cheeks full meaty love for the quick: Piglet, your brother Hamlet has died.

PLAY. Whatever. This thread isn't even about plays. I can buy a book that is a play...book doesn't mean content. Book can mean vehicle of how I'm reading.

I can buy a book that is the play Hamlet.
