Fun Fact in Your Face
The first appearance of the slang term “shrink” was in Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49.
Bonus Fun Fact in Your Face: I have started reading every single Pynchon novel but so far have only finished the 800-page Mason & Dixon, weirdly enough.
distorte:
Have you ever intimidated anybody? In any capacity? Physically? Intellectually? Aesthetically? What does it feel like? I imagine it’s like a tingling in the hamstrings.

So there’s this guy up on stage with on-fire barrels and the Santa Carla crowd is just loving it and he’s this big bodybuilder with an extremely oiled and nude torso and long greasy mullet and I think some chains around his neck — not like pretty little gold chains but the kind of chains you use to haul an engine out of a ‘64 Thunderbird?
