Slothrop & Schnorp - A Reading: 'Gravity's Rainbow', Pynchon

Maintaining the oral tradition, here is a reading from one of my favourite portions of Thomas Pynchon's GR. Enjoy.

WTF is your problem? You read like a fag. Stop raping Pynchon with your mouth!!! Nice collection of books though. I guess you live in a library.

[jburnha]

Tragic.

[CantBlockProxies]

Hahahaha. I love it! Feigned maturity by way of brevity! Oh yes!!! You're so much better than me, correct? Because you're absolutely above such juvenile vitriol! I'm not fooled; unlike you, I'm not a poser: I know the true nature of the human condition: you're just like me: we're all very much the same. (Pwnd.) P.S. I guarantee Pynchon would tell you that you're a fucking loser for recording yourself reading his work--absolutely guarantee.

[jburnha]

Pedantic.

You are the one clearly over-concerned with your projections... you are also elevating "Pynchon's" opinion through your own self-obsessed construction that is you; you a drop in a bucket fathoms deeper than anyone's comprehension. Carry on.

Thirdly, commenting on forums with 'vitriol' clearly indicates a level of maturity warranting a knowledge of "the true nature of the human condition". Seriously? Cast another line, I am done.

G in German is a hard g. Also, there's a pun in her name: gaily tripping = cheerfully stepping/dancing.

Great idea to do a reading. We should organize a You Tube reading of GR -- each of 700+ people reads a page...

jburnha,

Any new videos coming? I so enjoy the affectation of a man who measures every word for effect! Maybe you can graphically design yourself a less pretentious disposition? Roflroflroflroflrofl.

Hehe, I went to try and look at CantBlockProxies videos and instead saw his comment history, what a joke.

Im most certainly somebody, fuck you.

this is one of my favorite parts in gravity's rainbow

@theotherther1

He died in a car accident a couple of months ago, I suggest not defiling his name since it's dishonorable to talk negatively about the dead.

@JianyuTheLegend

I've never seen his videos, but he's an arrogant psychological cripple. His only responses to people are narcissistic put-downs. A Google search of his name confirms that he is still trumpeting his superiority over all life on other forums.

I don't care how great his videos are or were-if you could go to prison just for being a jerk he'd have a life sentence by now.

@noreggi

Uhhh, CantBlockProxies was one of the greatest people on YouTube, and was a genius (especially because of his videos)

you're nobody.

[noreggi]

@CantBlockProxies Why are you being such a dick? Your obviously taking a lot of time to write this shit. Its just not a nice thing to do, go write a short story.

[filmerado]

This man is like the NYC bookseller Thomas Dukleth without the fake British accent

[8echokilo]

Nice. Thank you. Ignore the aimless vitriol.

[stealthbombin]

clearly you love the sound of your own voice.

i bet you smell your own farts as you read, too.

and you talk about organizing a reading of gravity's rainbow...

you, sir, are a clevinger.

cantblockproxies is right—pynchon would think you are a loser.

anyone who tries to sound intelligent by demonstrating their vocabulary is a loser.

it does not take a special mind to remember big words and/or use a thesaurus.
