I had that once - sleep deprivation.

>>6884951
>If I take that bandanna off, will you die?

It would induce the howling fantods...

>That's a pretty big book.

w/r/t you

>>6885003
And but so you forgot the footnotes

>>6885008
i see what you did there,

he was a big guy

>>6885003
You merely adopted the post modernism. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't read a coherent story until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but boring

1. A reference to a joke (a) popular on a television/feet/pedophilia focused forum hosted on 4chan
a. which is a reference to a Christopher Nolan film The Dark Knight Rises famous for its humorously bad dialogue

>>6885003

278. For you. A reference to an abstruse phenomenon of referencing to the awkward dialogue between two characters occurring between two characters during a scene in the Y.S.J.W film "The Dark Night Rises" on a Cantonese erotic cartoon forum(a) frequented largely by socially inept white males circa the sixth year of O.N.A.N subsidised time(b).

a. Another obscurant self-referential joke exercised between members of said community. The forum, an American rendering of a Japanese style bulletin board system originally intended for the discussion of Japanese animated and graphic media i.e 'anime' now has an array of topic orientated sub-forums.

b. The Year of the Mouth Fedora

pretty good otherwise

>>6884951
He's an Axl Rose fan.

He was in a gang. In fact, his "suicide" was a gang-related murder.

>>6885003

Underrated thread, to be earnest.

>>6884984
he doesn't sweat, he perspires

because he looked fresh as fuck

>>6884951
It got him more audience pussy

>>6885804
fuck off back to twitter

Basically it was a big forskin.

>>6884951
because he hated niggers

It was his 'safety blanket'.

He said it in the trailer you monfg

If you took that off he would die

>>6885352
This post completed my post. We're post brothers.

The same reason Lisa Loeb wears glasses: Branding.

>>6886906
This.

Said he wore it because he was so intelligent that his head would explode from all the thinking he was doing. Essentially, he believed he was so smart, wise, intelligent and creative that his mind would overpower his skull and bust through without the bandana.

No, I'm not quoting the scientology origin myth or making shit up, he really said this.

>>6884951
Did you watch 'Total Recall'? There's a second ugly lil' mutant DFW underneath the bandana.

Can anyone who read the Lipsky book confirm if this is a real DFW quote?

>>6884951
He was balding and the bandana was a laughable attemp to hide his hairline.
Why do you think he killed himself, you dummy?

Pic mildly related; his hairline surely looked like Vegeta's.

>>6888433
confirmed in autopsy

>>6885123
>>6885352

Is this really how Infinite Jest is written? I don't want to dismiss DFW's supposedly best work just because of 4chan posts, but everything I've heard about IJ makes it sound pretentious as fuck.

>>6888536
Yes. This is seriously how it is written. It is (sincerely) pretentious but it makes up for it by being good.

>>6888572
Is the pretentiousness part of the theme of the book? I'm 370 pages in and I'm starting to think it might be a roman a clef of sorts about Wallace's life; maybe he's using the pretentiousness to express regret at rendering himself unable to relate to others by pursuing erudition.

>>6884951
The bandanna was the source of his powers. Without it he would be insincere.

>>6884989
this, also filthy fucking hippy.

I'm a professional dfw meme thread critic (I was a critical bumper in the illustrious >he doesn't use footnotes thread) and I just wanted to let you all know that I give this thread two thumbs up.

>>6888582
it either hits its stride around 400 pages in once you have most of the background information down.

or you just become used to it at that point. I've never been sure which is the case.

>>6885352
>Y.S.J.W.
kek

>>6888433

he had a rly nice hairline tho

i think the autopsy technician was full of shit

>>6885352

lel

>>6884951
Nobody cared who he was until he put on the bandana.

>>6884984
>>6884989
I find it hard to believe a mere bandanna could contain explosive levels of autism.

>tfw I made the >he doesn't read footnotes thread
that thread was the greatest accomplishment of my life

>>6888536
How is that pretentious? Lol it was funny, when it happens in the book it's funny. It isn't even over complicated or dense humor, it's pretty straightforward and self aware.
