A new DU member is no longer with us?

Darn...I miss these quick hellos and goodbyes. :-)

First he was here.
Then he said he hated Iranians
Now he's gone.


That's about it.

:rofl:

talks about how much he 'hates whitey'? I forget which book it is in, but that chapter is absolutely hysterical. Talks about how his palms get sweaty when he sees a middle aged white guy coming towards him.

Really funny stuff.

I'm just re-reading it. Hilarious.

Funny, funny stuff. I love him. My brother used to live in his building in NYC and every time I went to visit, I would bring my copies in the vain hope that he might be in the lobby or elevator and sign them.

*sigh* Then my stupid, selfish brother, not caring at all about his ONLY sister, moved.

J/K about that part. He's a great guy.

It's a wonderful book. We do have the copy from Penguin Books, though, with the new intro where he describes that Harper Collins just wanted to trash all the original copies because of the title and asked him to rewrite major stuff, including the "Kill Whitey" chapter, and he talked about it on a little conference. A librarian, Ann Sparanese, then started a campaign for his book, and:

Quotes from wikipedia: Two days later HarperCollins phoned Moore. "What did you tell the librarians?" they asked. "We're getting hundreds of letters a day from angry librarians. Do you know how much business we do with these people?"

Librarians, the real revolutionaries.

Sounds like good riddance to bad rubbish. :-)

Looks like once again the mods are really on their toes. :thumbsup:

Rather thin skinned, bless his heart.

:spray:

That is hysterical.

What a witty guy that Atom was.

:rofl:

It probably took longer to register than to flame out.

He didn't know how to spell DUH.
