Marry, F*ck or Kill
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Well, depending on what happens next week, my level of internet access, and my schedule, this could be the last one of these for a while. I thought about putting regular commenters into the game this week, but decided that stealing photos off people’s facebook pages seemed a bit invasive. So, instead, the theme is gay authors whose books are sitting on my bookshelf right now.
| Choice 1 | Choice 2 | Choice 3 |

| Augusten Burroughs – books on my shelf: Running With Scissors | Alan Hollinghurst – books on my shelf: The Folding Star | The Line of Beauty | The Swimming-Pool Library | Chuck Palahniuk – Choke | Snuff | Lullaby | Rant |
To review the rules… You must choose one who you would spend the rest of your life with, one you would have a freaky-monkey one-night stand with, and one who you would put to death*. You tell me who you choose and why.
*standard disclaimer: we are anti-death penalty, we play this game as a thought exercise, not an endorsement of murder. Also, we are sex-positive and believe that two people can have crazy one-time sex without shame or emotional baggage. Finally, for the purposes of this game, we all live in marriage equality jurisdictions.
My choices from last week:
Marry: Daniel Radcliffe.
F*ck: Tom Felton.
Kill: Rupert Grint.
Marry: Burroughs cuz he looks like a cuddly teddy bear, plus everyone tellz me to read “Running With Scissors.”
F*ck: Palahniuk cuz he’s the hottest and if he is anything like some of the characters in “Snuff” then I’m sure he knowz a ting or two about sexxxy timez.
Kill: Hollinghurst, cuz I don’t know who the shet he is so I wouldn’t care if I continued not knowing who he is.

I’ve only read Hollinghurst, and wasn’t overly impressed.
Marry: Hollinghurst. I figure if I’ve heard of him, he must be making money, and money is always THE most important factor in a marriage.
F*ck: Chuck I’m-not-even-gonna-try-to-spell-his-last-name, just cause he’s the cutest of them all.
Kill: Burroughs, cause bears do nothing for me sexually, and he looks a bit prissy in the photo, and prissy people need killing.
Good luck on the move!
HUGS…

Josh stole my answers!
Marry: Burroughs – Not only is he bald and sporting a sweet goatee, but based on what I read in Running with Scissors, he would fill my days with interesting stories! Then again, he was a jerk to his poor bf….
Eff: Chuck Palinlajuehcnlk – I hear his books are kinda crazy so he might be interesting to make out with.
Kill: Hollinghurst – Never heard of this dude and he’s not my type. Aka he has creepy eyes.
Did you not include Christopher Rice because you haven’t read him? I loved A Density of Souls.

P.S. I forgot to say that you totally should have taken commenters pics! I know most of them and don’t think they’d mind.

You think so? Well, maybe I’ll set it up as a scheduled post before the end of the week.

No, I’ve read all his books, but I don’t have any of them on my bookshelf at the moment, so I didn’t think of him.

Kill Kill Kill. Sorry. I hate all of them.
I’ll be a better sport next round!

Wow, somebody is picky.

Since I only 2 of 3, it’s easy for me.
Marry: Augusten Burroughs. Yeah, his family is fucked up (so is mine), but he’s hilarious and I’d want him around forever.
Fuck: Chuck Palahniuk. He seems like he’d be a good one.
Kill: Alan Hollinghurt. Because he’s the one I don’t know…

Hmmm. I might be with Craig on this or wait, maybe a giant threesome where I f*ck all of them at once. They are all old, so their stamina might be better if its combined. Yeah, then Craig can kill them after. That’s the ticket.
