True to my non-sequitur trend, I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to point out that the Canadian Parliament is now the promoter of your work.
I was tickled (to use one of your terms) to hear this remark in the official debate. Skip right to the end if it's TLDR :)
Hon. Pierre Poilievre (Leader of the Opposition, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, if they have known about it for 13 years, why have they never done anything about it?
Ten years ago, the dictatorship in Beijing gave the Trudeau Foundation $200,000. It then interfered in two elections to help keep the Liberals in power. It even helped campaign for certain Liberal candidates.
What is the solution now? The Prime Minister proposes a secret committee that will do a secret investigation with secret outcomes. This committee will follow the rule of Fight Club. The first rule is that no one talks about the committee.
I'm on chapter 27 of Fight Club. I'm always taken aback when I read work with a different voice. It opens a whole new road. I'm thinking, "Wait, you can actually write like this??" It's sorta liberating.
And you know how you talk about making the reader feel good by making them right? I don't know if this relates but whenever I read repeated lines in Fight Club: I know this because Tyler knows this, and the line about downsizing, the space monkeys (which was a neat way to describe Fight Club members), push a lever, pull a button, you always hurt the ones you love, and of course the rules. Lines like that. The feeling I get is same when I answer a Jeopardy question right. It feels like I get the inside joke, so to speak. Like seeing a familiar face.
And also my favorite chapter was with Raymond K. Hessel.
Egg really ties the room together. Along with the Roman soldier bust, I feel like the setting needs a White Russian, and Lacrimosa playing in the background.
Why do you have the Greco Roman statue bust Chuck? I mean all the cool kids I know have Bruce Hansing sculpted Iron Man Mark III fiberglass replicas that they stick Christmas lights on and stuffed animals. Maybe a life-size Queen Alien busting through a wall in your house is more your style. Just saying a white statue bust is kinda stodgy. I mean they painted those back at the time they were made so I think even having a painted one would look more interesting than what you have but to each their own. I figured the Chuck P style of interior decorating would be a little more stylish. Maybe you are just living in the boring room because it is comfy.
Buster needs some cool guy shades

Is the bust wearing a hat? Like a Caulfield hat?
Anything 500 pounds automatically has a story attached to it - even if it's just a pulled back or bruised foot.
Love it! Egg looks so comfy 🥰
Did the hat come with the bust - or did you add it after the fact?
Who is the bust of? Has a look of 'I wish Caligula hadn't invited me to this party' to it in that light. Handsome looking chap though.
Egg knows the good life, alright! ♥️🥰
One week away from Midwest Story Night!! Hope to see some more Substack folks!
Can we assume you've tried lifting the head to discover whether there's a button to some kind of flying mammal cave in there?
Is that really 500 pounds? How did you get it in there? It looks like a Roman emperor too.
Dang 😍 she's a tank

Did you really purchase and move a 500lb bust of some woman just to cover up that nightlight? You know you can just unplug them right?
Awww Egg ❤️
