@jsuglia Palahniuk may be a master of the familiar, but it's better than being a master of nothing. Maybe I'll take your opinion into account when you have ten best-sellers and two movies based on your work.
Whatever that mongolism bullshit you posted on the other video was over the line. You really are an asshole. To anyone who reads this, Jsuglia is a piece of shit who thinks that it is funny to make fun of mentally disabled people. I know and have worked with enough people afflicted with problems like this to be completely offended. I'm done with you, I really hope you take a look at all of this and realize that despite your lofty view of yourself you are quite ignorant where it counts. Boo.
@jsuglia I really hope this is you buddy. For the little sister of my good friend who has Downs Syndrome, I think I may take these comments to DePaul and see if they frown upon their people slandering the disabled...You should be sorry, I attacked you and your general point of view, not mentally handicapped. I hope you get what you deserve...maybe religious schools don't care about the treatment of the disabled... I'm done with you asshole. Go To Hell.
u r naht my prawfessawr...u downt geht 2 grayde me. I can write however I please, you're a failed author who probably took a teaching job right out of 300 years of becoming a PHD in fucking English only to find out you can only get a job teaching that which you just finished learning. I can see how the bitterness would rise and rise until you decide to put up this narcissistic wall. "The snobbery of failure..." from a favorite of mine.
@jsuglia Joe, you're an idiot. You're taking on the guy who, in most people's opinion, brought to light the transgressive fictional novel as a viable medium, and who had the foresight to basically kill it off after 9/11. You are diet dr. pepper, you are Author-Light. You are the Foxy Brown of Dildo Authors, trying to create publicity by calling out someone who is clearly more talented than you. Go write another shitty novel crafted after a master and then claim it's better.
Dude this story is horse shit. If the "Watch Out" youtube video (please people look it up it's HILARIOUSLY TERRIBLE) has anything to do with your shitty book, then wow I must give you credit for having the planet-sized brass balls it takes to take and show pride in such a wretched, crap story. "Oh no I love my self, oh know I jack off to myself in the mirror." Is this an allegory on your life or just a straight-up autobiography? Clown Shoes.
@jsuglia It has nothing to do with you ripping off concepts from P. Christopher Smith's concepts of rhetoric, at least cite him you thief. Also, WHY more unnecessarily complicated wording. Seems to be a defense mechanism..."If I talk like an over-educated ivy-league idiot maybe they won't realize I have nothing new to say..." Also, demurral is a legal term referring to a FORMAL SPOKEN objection to a pleading. I was neither speaking nor formal. At least get your shit right Joe.
@jsuglia no I get what you are trying to say. However, if you are going to act as a lofty pedagogue, then read up. Demur, when looked up, does have the meaning "to object." Sadly it is the last meaning, after the legal usage. I'm not saying you're wrong on calling my objections such, as they are. But if you actually look shit up before vomiting it out, you will see primary usage is for spoken or legal objections, generally in a mild or controlled tone. Does that sound like what I said to you? No
@jsuglia Yes, I'm using online sources as anyone who would read this will most likely us the same source. A Webster dictionary online is still a dictionary...just online. Kind of like you, you're a dick, and a dick online. Just face facts you could have used a better word, plain and simple. Don't change the subject.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary says you're wrong, not google.
Not from google, valid source, just deal with it. Demurral points you to this page, the main one. Study up.
@jsuglia You already used aphasia on the other thread, running out of vocab words from senior year? Ugh, you are unrelentingly stupid. Let me break it down fucktard (google that), yes words have more than one meaning, they have connotation and denotation and all sorts of shit. What you have failed to see, is that given your clear lust for douchebaggery and penchant for condescension, you managed to use the least clear way to form your thought, all while failing to confuse me.
@jsuglia Any writer, english teacher that isn't a complete fraud knows that big words and using the farthest reaching meaning of a word doesn't make you smarter or a great writer. Big words hide fear or a lack of confidence in ones thoughts, maybe you feel you have to hide behind bigs words. The real test is writing something that gets across. This is the problem with authors and most of the whole literary world is that you're too up your own ass. Get over yourself. Hubris. Keep flying Icarus.
@jsuglia You aren't my english teacher, I'm writing on a youtube comment section, not a scholarly article so let us get that clear right up front. You are all up your own collective ass, you display hubris without displaying infallibility. My problem isn't with the words, but cute try. My problem is with people who use them just to seem smarter. You just come off as a douche. Every english teacher with a good sense of writing style would tell you that you're too fucking wordy. Aureate.
@jsuglia Here is something fun to google: Dr. Joseph Suglia. What does it yield? Well folks, 90% of the hits are shit Joey boy here has created, rounding out my narcissism theory quite nicely. Oh, what do we have here? He's an english teacher? NO WAY!? Let's see, wow, many of them don't seem to think much of you, unless it;s for ease. in fact, many share my thoughts. Want to know what my favorite part is? There's a interview with writeclub, which would seem to be a HUGE homage to Chuck. Funny.
"Being taught how to write fiction by Chuck Palahniuk is exactly like being taught how to play football by a one-legged man."
Doug Blevins is one of the most respected kicking coaches in the NFL. Doug Blevins is wheelchair bound. -monkeywright (the cult website you stalkerishly write on seeing as you hate chuck so much...creepy)
@jsuglia So if you're going to say it's "hardly reducible", then you're arguing for me. Anyone who takes 30 seconds to Merriam-Webster (I think we can agree that is a viable dictionary, if not, too bad) this shit will see your word leads you to Demurring, primary is the archaic (who cares), secondary means to file a demurrer, THIRD means "to take exception." I applaud you on digging deep for a cool word, but I'm sorry to say. Also just ask if it's interpretation vs. temporality, too WORDY.
@jsuglia TRANSLATION: Please choke on one of your unnecessarily over-complicated terms/explanations. What kind of pompous fuckstain writes TRANSLATION and then proceeds to jargon-rape people into submission. Newsflash showoff, my lexicon contains just as many unneeded words as anyones, I just know enough to not be a prick about it. Let me guess, someone just finished their intro to creative writing or maybe even got a diploma from U of Phoenix...congrats buddy, you still suck.
@jsuglia you have no idea what you're talking about. this is a great short story. and only someone as pompous as you would slander it for personal gain. did you not think the connection from your name to your account name? please shut the fuck up and if your such a great writer, why hasn't anyone heard of you.
@jsuglia no translation needed. no one cares how literate or smart you sound on a comment just as long as you're backing up someone you like. you are so crass to not realize you're trying to promote yourself on this video. please oblige me and show me a video of a story you have written and i'll watch it but don't spill hate when someone has fame and you, poor insignificant man does not, and must badger all of Phalaniuk's videos with your unwanted and bias opinion
Please stop reviewing comments and picking apart the words or phrases so you seem smart. No one cares how well you write a youtube comment. Like I said, let me read something you've written. Or are you too high up on your pedestal to actually write something in a book, and not in youtube comments..thanks
p.s. - badger is another way to say pester or annoy. grow up i'm 10 years old by the way.
I still find him incredibly cutting-edge even in this day-in-age. It takes balls to say "nigger" in public. Or any slur. "Fag." Even though he himself is a homosexual. But have meaning behind it. And to talk about a dying father when in reality his own father was murdered. He's a great man.
