Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:The insanity of these stupid books is such "Later skater!" I felt myself exclaim as I pressed the tiny red button (a clever joke by the suit designers, referencing the ominous "Big Red Button" in the 80s anime Pinky and the Brain) which summoned my exclusive, one of a kind replica Tony Hawk custom skateboard - upgraded, naturally, with small rocket jets and decorated with stickers of my favorite 80s bands (They Might Be Giants and Harvey Danger)

It's true that geeks have a hard time getting laid, because geek and nerd are very different Cline and all his fans are geeks who think they're nerds

LanceHunter posted:Nerd culture today is a cesspool that threatens our very civilization, but at least the tremendously stupid "geek vs nerd" debate (which relies entirely on two arbitrary re-definitions of two made-up social categories) isn't a thing anymore for anyone under 30.  I was just pointing out that geeks are like, gross weird people. Like, Beavis is a geek. Cline isn't a nerd and nerds don't have an inherently hard time getting laid

Giggle Goose posted:I wonder how Cline sees himself. Does he know that his writing is awful and that his success is a literary black swan event? Does he see himself as some kind of auteur? His wife is a slam poet so I have no doubt he really thinks he's good at words
