I have to say, this guy does sound just like the internet lawyer I had sicced on me when I was in Nikita fandom. I wonder if he's made partner yet.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder if he's made partner yet.
And if he has one of those special permanent contracts?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'd be really, really uncomfortable selling my book myself, or asking anyone to do it for me.

Drug-sniffing dogs rode the L with me. They looked all, "Woe, why are you putting me in this crowded, shaking metal box?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh my.
So many classic lines, I don't know what to quote:
Cooper and I took the dog for a walk. I couldn't resist the way his ass swayed back and forth, so I dragged him behind a bush and took him from behind.
...and...
"He grabbed hold of his meat and pulled out a condom."
...and...
I squeezed the bartender's nipple and he refilled my empty glass.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That makes perfect sense -- just wanted to be sure you knew it might be a possibility. A lot of people never realize that bookstores do such things (especially for authors they know and like).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the theory would be that you would be doing the bookseller a favor by warming up potential buyers via your reading.

So who here has heard of Norman Borlaug? I hadn't.
I saw Season 2 West Wing, so I had, but that's the only reason why (he was referenced in the ep with the African leader who was trying to get AIDS drugs cheap from the drug manufacturers).
