Illiteracy

gats

At my 'Harlem To Hollywood' party [the Walk of Fame bash], the guests … played croquet on the lawn.

I liked the idea of croquet because it's a very Gatsby-type activity and I take pride in being a Gatsby figure.

Oh, you take pride in being a sad bastard who longs for real love and surrounds himself with drunk leeches who won't even come to his funeral when he's dead? We figured as much, but thanks for finally confirming our assumptions.

    I see where he's coming from. That's why I like to drink mojitos. It's a Hemingway type of drink and I take pride in being a Hemingway figure.

    I know, right? Killing hookers with chainsaws is a very Patrick Bateman-type activity and I take pride in being a Patrick Bateman figure.

    Well, Diddy does have tons of new money, which he grotesquely flashes around for attention in the form of jewels and classless parties, so he's got that down. I wonder if he has a whole closet full of beautiful shirts that I could weep into.

    and Hemingway's drink was whiskey, supposedly he is credited with inventing the "Papa Doble" which is like a daiquiri with rum, lime and grapefruit juice. Not a mojito. Chelsea, Tom Wolfe wears a white suit as a nod to Mark Twain, not Fitzgerald or Hemingway.

    Hemingway also liked to drink with a concussion. Which explains the brain damage toward the end of his life. I'd avoid emulating that behavior.

    Madison, i think Jeff foxworthy has a book out. He's semi famous. Did you also know that Bud light now has lime in it? True story and I love it. But I prefer the michelob ultra lime and cactus. 95 calories and only 2.5 carbs. you can get drunk and cut out the beer bloat.

    Let's walk down memory lane, shall we?

    Hemmingway DID love the mojitos. I just couldn't make them fast enough. That's why he eventually dumped me.

    F.Scott Fitzgerald, well he stoled all of that mess that he wrote. I'll let you guess from who. I dumped him.

    John Steinbeck. Ahhhh. He was good in bed. I dumped him after he said my legs reminded him of the foothills in the Salinas Valley. He put that in one of his books, I think.

    How can you continue to have sex with a man that compares your thick legs with rolling foothills?

    I was not wrong to move on.

    But, QC, what about all the great (drunken) British and French with Spanish heritage/Algerian authors. I know you must have some great stories about Camus. He did write "The Great Gatsby" didn't he?
    And who the heck is this F. Scott bloke? I don't anyone ever heard of 'em. Robert Redford does ring a bell though…

    Juju, he like them crushed. As he said to me at the beginning, "Crush them, just like I do to the ladies hearts." OOooooh what a man he was.

    If I would have had more time and energy, BB&B, I could have expanded my literary/sexual horizons. As it was, I spent too long on the things that didn't work out. *Sigh* No regrets, though. I only had this one life to live.

    Thank you, jujubees. I liken it to trying to hit every ride at Disneyland in two days. That is a set up for disappointment.

    No one mentioned Robert Louis Stevenson.
    Let me say, he liked to cry and get poetic, even if you weren't quite finished.

    That can get under a lady's skin, after a while.
    It is good to know how to make the mojitos for Hemmingway at this point.
