I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
I have no idea who he is, but this is my favorite quote ever, as someone who’s both a goth/punk poser and works in cybersecurity.
he wrote and directed the musical Hairspray and the movie Pink Flamingos. Both of which are worth it if you don’t have a predisposition to hating campy, lgbtq+ or musicals.
I’ll take a look. This is the second quote from him that resonates with me prety deeply, he seems like a cool guy.
If you find his films a bit too much (which is fair), he’s also done a standup show called This Filthy World which you would probably enjoy.
If you have that predisposition you should hatewatch them
John waters. As a young straight kid in a religious household in the south he was the first person that showed me there can be humor that involves lgbtq+ people that isn’t hateful or dismissive, followed by David Sedaris. And strangely enough it was through comedy that I first felt empathy for people I had been indoctrinated to hate. He’s definitely out there and quite honestly a lot of his stuff isn’t to my taste but he’s got some great material

Definitely worth knowing.
What does he mean, there is no look to that. Sure there is…
Hey, my favorite coffee shop has at least two comfy chairs at each of their… Five? I think they have five locations now. Way to go dudes. Anyways I can shrimp up whenever I visit. I don’t want to say they did it just for me but I am a regular and if I can’t shrimp I have to go home. They are the best for looking out for me.
He made the greatest No Smoking in the movie theater spots ever made.
If you want a movie of his that’s very accessible, I recommend Pecker. The stuff he’s most known for was just a bit too out there for my tastes.
Legend
Once I offered to buy John Waters a drink, and the bartender got offended
Edit: at the very idea that John Waters would ever be charged for a drink

Dry humping only.
Mormon style soaking?
You can soak, but no jumper.
that’s why you get a friend to bounce the bed 😂
HE SAID NO JUMPER🗣️
I dunno, can’t see them in a bookshelf. He didn’t say anything about making reading cool, just books. “If they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.”
I don’t think digital versions count, at least not for John.
True, but I imagine a well-organized Calibre library will flood most basements, genitally speaking.
I guess they don’t for me, either, because when I read or listen to a book and really, really like it, I buy a physical copy.
just virtual sex for you.
It’s spelled “pubes” and having a couple thousand really isn’t that impressive, though showing them off at the end of a date might still get you laid…
Some people read ebooks, especially if they’re in a small apartment
Or are poor and have to obtain them creatively™
Can confirm lol
Yeah, I have zero in my house now. I have over 1k on my ereader, in my pocket, and on my tablet. Even when I read physical books I never had this many, every time I got to a couple hundred I’d take them to Goodwill for others to enjoy. My reading list is so long, it’s not like I’m likely to reread anything. Every book I reread is one other book I won’t get to read before I die.
I see bookshelves like this these days it’s like someone with a lot of vinyl. They’re either old (old to me and I’m almost 50), or just into an old format for some reason. Nothing wrong with that, it just doesn’t mean the same thing it used to.
So my steam library isn’t enough hur?
It better be at least 51% visual novels
Visual “novels”
Most of them are probably closer to novellas by word count, that’s a good point.
I have the core rules book, investigator manual, and keeper manual for the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, does that count?
It counts double.
Looks at hot accountant.
“QuickBooks”
Close enough?
QuickBooks is for when you’re getting fucked by the IRS.
So, for everybody.
Eh, i rent i dont own. Which means i move every few years. Also i have a library card, so i dont own very many books at all. I still read alot tho.
Sorry, you have to do your sex at the library.
What are we sorry for? I thought I enjoyed the library before…
Exclusively the library. Hey, I don’t make the terms and conditions on the library cards.
I think books are cool. Anyone who read books is a cool person and not yet lost to social media addiction. They can still be in the moment with themselves.
I had a period when I could not read a single page in a book because my mind was constantly wanting to use the phone instead. Many people are like that right now.
Only fuck people who make an expensive signal like Jay Gatsby.
Hahahahaaa
Sure, the guy has a ton of books in the shelves. But how many mysterious badly sorted storage boxes of books he has? Now that’s the real test of character.
Also ask probing questions about how many obsolete programming books he has. It may get awkward but it has to be done.
My friends have an Estonian book that teaches fortran 77 and BASIC if I remember correctly. It’s a truly wondrous tome.
Fun fact: ebooks are better for the environment than paper books.
what if all my books are on the compooter
Cyber sex
That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
A/s/l?
What if they’re hot
Take them to the library
Give them a signed copy of the Kama Sutra, signed by me.
If no books, a well worn library card is a sexy substitute.
That person will have books, they will be overdue.
