I wanna be the Guide! I'm lame-o Catch 22
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey, you'd appreciate being Catch-22 if you'd had to be A Prayer for Owen Meany first.

Herding cats for fun
I'm "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Sweeeeet.
You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you're re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals.
Go monkey. Choose monkey.

"Church, cult, cult, church. So we get bored somewhere else every Sunday. Is this really going to change our day to day life?" Bart - the Joy of Sect
I got the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe too.
At least the part about 'seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed.' is quite accurate about now.
Hmm, come to think of it, there are two forces in my life that are engaged in an epic struggle...bizarro

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I ended up as "Lolita". That doesn't seem right....

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I got Catch-22. The hell?

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Gritty, realistic Vietnam account. Most often read by boomers in search of gritty, realistic Vietnam account or college history students whose profs want them to read a gritty, realistic Vietnam account.
I remember the novella version as being magic realist or hallucinatory. Haven't read the full book, though I was very impressed by the novella.
I am Ulysses.
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.
Maybe my new tagline should be "brilliant and repugnant."

You guys are all classics of English language literature, (okay, Gus is French) and I'm a fricken airport read??
No fair!
