Q&A: The Gourmand Behind New York's $666 'Douche Burger'

For just $666 you can purchase a foie gras-stuffed Kobe patty covered in Gruyere cheese that’s been melted with champagne steam and topped with lobster, truffles, caviar, and a BBQ sauce made with Kopi Luwak coffee beans that have been pooped out by some sort of animal called the Asian palm civet. The whole thing is then served in a gold-leaf wrapper. It’s called the Douche Burger, and, yes, it really is for sale.

To say that the wordsmith might "possibly" like Nabakov is funny to me because I kept reading him as assaulting Nabakov himself. Nabakov has a lot of fun with words and once described Lolita as a love affair with the English language.

But really the notion that caring about words makes you a bad novelist is so absurdly contrarian it doesn't really require much scrutiny to reject.

i donut have much freud ("frood") either, where should i start with the freud deud

here's a kind of lol story. the first freud I ever had was his five lectures, which I had to buy for a class on star trek and psychoanalysis which was taught by a lady who was attempting to verify freud's hypotheses via fmri. here's the real kicker though: I didn't give a fuck about star trek, I was only taking the class because this girl I was into at the time said "I'm taking this star trek class, you should take it too, you'd like it." how about that shit

same except marketing

thanks. i like it bteter than fuck and destroy for certain reasons, it seems like it was a more 'genuine' attempt, it arose from exuberance & enthusiasm, which were more genuine than my reasons or w.e for writing f&d

exuberance and enthusiasm are probably definitely better reasons to write a book than Rape.

During the Cold War, this sort of ideological tourism was almost exclusively a progressive domain; the sugar-cane plantations of Cuba heaved with vacationing European and American compañeros, but few free market acolytes turned up in Augusto Pinochet's Chile to witness pension privatization or marvel at his market liberalization program.
