lots of folks posted:Ol' Chucky got 'im! A fiction author wrote fiction? You don't say! I'm not directing this at elise or anyone, because I actually enjoy learning why the story is BS and prompting reading about the vagal nerves, but Chuck is a shock author. I get that most people just know Fight Club as a film, but the guy's other works have really just been weird tales, like a clinically depressed and trying-to-be-offbeat version of Chuck Tingle. Maybe calling yourself Chuck is the common thread there. Beats me. Point is, most authors are trying to create environments and actions that seem plausible and real to you, regardless of how they intersect with reality. No one thinks a Star Wars novel is real, or that Da Vinci really left clues about how Jesus had siblings, right? Chuck uses the banal and straightforward tone to help lull the reader into a sense that the story is true, when it's just as fictitious as Tyler Durden.

It's not the story being fictitious I find stupid, it's his stories about peoples reaction to the fictitious story that I find stupid.

Wasn't one of now disgraced John Edwards's biggest cases that put him on the national stage that poorly manufactured pool drain cover that disemboweled like.....15(?) kids or something? I always figured that was the reference.

No pictures, just the teacher talking about a bleeding wound. I have no problem believing people would faint during a reading of Guts if they weren't prepared for it.

I always figured that was the reference. Pumps are strong as gently caress (hundreds of pounds of force in a tiny little hole. Heh.)so you need anti-suction drains and automatic vacuum release systems for drains. They have been known to "eviscerate" people. Maybe Elise can elaborate but they concentrate hundreds of pounds of suction on an 1.5" to 2" patch of skin. You can get your arm stuck in a skimmer or stuck on the bottom of a pool without either if they're pulling from one location. Obviously commercial are stronger but your standard in ground residential pool (IIRC) with one of the most common pumps generates like 200-250 lbs of suction.

Feeple posted:A fiction author wrote fiction? You don't say! Its not a case of people mistaking a fiction story as nonfiction. Its a case of Chuck, in multiple places, like in interviews and his blog, saying that the stories were true stories he polished for Guts. Unless we're to assume that a fiction writer is always lying.

See, if it were a story about someone who ripped their flesh trying to get away from a pool drain pump-- even their anal flesh-- I'd buy it absolutely. It's the involvement of abdominal organs and the pregnant sister that make it unbelievable. And let me tell you, I will believe a gently caress of a lot from a story of gross underpants injury. My "lol nah" radar is a little broken from my line of work. I have personally cared for the mutilated penis of a man who methed up and attempted a home circumcision. I have watched a demented woman jam a spoon into her rear end in a top hat to scrape out the poo poo. I've had my arm up a woman's butt so deep I went around the corner. There ain't much in the world that hasn't happened to an rear end. But, you know, Guts is effective. It hits that vagal response well. It's vivid, it's succinct, it's a flight of fantasy with its toes still touching the ground. It's good--if only he weren't trying to pass it as fact.

Because it can't happen. elise the great posted:also "this sounds like an elaborate excuse by a kid who stuck something up his butt and perfed his sigmoid colon and also molested his little sister repeatedly until she got pregnant and tried to claim she must have encountered his jizz in the swimming pool." I'm betting that its this. Either that or Chuck made it up himself.

Christ, it's like someone heard what a cat's penis is like and inverted it while adding more spikes. What I'm trying to say here is, someone has definitely stuck something like that inside them to terrible effect.
