Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate: The Talk Of The Town
Did you read this week's New Yorker?
Of course.
What was your favorite piece?
I dug George Packer's War and Ideas.
Are you gonna go into another of your NRA rants about how we all need to be armed like civilian militias?
No no, it's not about that. I hate guns now, but I feel for the Iraqis. I know what it's like living on Desperation Street: for a jailbait girlfriend, for money so I won't be broke all my life, and to get out of town where everyone thinks I'm a loser. It's no different in the Middle East.
Huh?
Look, it's about liberalism or imperialism. Know what I'm saying?
No.
Fuck Eisenhower, fuck Hoover, fuck Cheney, and fuck Elvis! I'm James Dean, bitch!
Charlie, you're such a poseur.
I'm just saying I understand what it likes to live everday of your life in "occupation." But now I'm cold, I feel no remorse. You think marching into Falluja or Najaf is any different than being chased in a '56 Packard by the National Guard with machine gun mounted jeeps in Kansas??
Uh...
Caril Ann, like an Iraqi judge said, "There are only two choices -- either to win the battle or die."
You're so dramatic, AND dead. Do you mind if I switch topics to something *I* am interested in?
Sure baby, what's up?
I really liked Ben McGrath's article on women wrestlers. I think if they offered something like this for girls back in the 50's I wouldn't have developed the self-esteem issues that made me fall for a deranged hostage-taking prick like yourself.
No way, you're too small! Those husky Midwest girls would have *crushed* you and your ego.
I beg to differ pencil-dick geek, it's all about shifty weight displacement and speed. I would have been a high-crotch takedown specialist.
Suuure, just like your moves on old Lillian Fencl.
Fuck you Charlie! You were eating waffles at the time!
Sorry babe, but that was some good shit.
Anyway, wanna go see "Before Sunset"? It's playing at the Lansing Cineplex.
