Bust Down the door and Eat All The Chickens is the best part of my sunday.

I recently purchased issue 8 of Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens for the super cheap here:
http://www.absurdistjournal.com/current.htm

I read half of it the day I got it and I just finished the other half of it.
It is only 76 pages long, but still, I read the entire thing, which I don't normally do. Actually, I didn't read the whole thing. There is one story I didn't read. But one story out of 76 pages is pretty damned good.

Mike Young's "Share This Too," starts off the collection. It is about teeth and a nun and you would like it very much. Mike Young co-edits Noo Journal, which I like.

Adam Breckenridge has his first published story in this issue, called "Bang Bang." I think it is my favorite story or my second favorite story. There is the right amount of shooting in his story. The right amount of shooting is very much shooting. Many stories (boring ones that I don't like) would probably be better with more shooting.

Adam, please write more stories. I will read them.

Also, Blake Butler's story about the tv show Friends, was wonderful. Blake only writes really good things, I think. If he writes bad things, he probably keeps them where no one can read them. Blake if you write bad things, can I see them? Please email me the bad things that you write.

I also really like Camerson Pierce's story and Darby Larson's story (it is my favorite or second favorite). Darby Larson edits Abjective, which I like very much.

I couldn't read Rhys Hughes story. I am sorry Rhys Hughes. I tried to read it three times. I am sure it is a good story. Rhys Hughes is a Welsh writer. Maybe I do not like Welsh people. I do not know any Welsh people.

Sam Pink has a good story, Aaron Sitze has a good story, D. Harlan Wilson has an interesting thing. I am going to call it a 'thing.' I think that is all right.

Ofelia Hunt is the only girl writer in this issue. Bradley Sands does not have to be politically correct. He publishes good writers. You cannot fault someone for their penis unless their penis has committed crimes against you.

Matthew Simmons's story is the last one in Bust. It has tiny horses in it. I approve of tiny horses.

There are also two book reviews. I do not read book reviews. I have 17 books on my floor that I haven't read and reading a book review would feel like I was snubbing those books. In life, when I have nothing else to do, I will read book reviews. Until then, I am going to read books.




Also, I think my life would be greatly altered and improved if I had a water gun full of vinegar. Whenever someone said something offensive or bothersome, I would shoot them with the vinegar gun. Some people might redeem themselves by thinking this was funny and then I would be friends with them. The people that did not redeem themselves would just smell like vinegar.

I like salt & vinegar guns better, fried in kettle oil

did you use Paypal to buy the bust down the door because I think i have to revisit paypal for just this reason and sam pink's book reason too.

i think you should bring the vinegar gun to a movie and when people decide to text you can shoot them with it. theywill be easy to hit because of the glowing blue text light of rudeness

Brandi Wells said...

xtx,
i think when i clicked on it, it let me use a credit card.

i hate movie texters.

I concur with you about book reviews. I feel like it's cheating in some way(s).

Chris East said...

the gun itself is quite small, like small enough to put in the pocket of a fancy waistcoat

but you do need to pull a large tank of vinegar around on little red cart and the tank is attached to the gun by a plastic tube allowing the gun to fire high volume and high power vinegar streams at a distance of up to 200 yards.

Thanks.

I don't like reading book reviews either, but it's helpful to the author.

I decided to publish them after I received this review: www.sfreader.com/read_review.asp?book=1066

My book ended up in the wrong reviewer's hands.

I wanted to help books end up in the right reviewer's hands/

Brandi Wells said...

i like that. it sounds like a 'mission.' i can get behind a mission.

i lied. i actually read one of the book reviews. i felt like i had to read the last thing. like, if i didn't read the last thing, i wouldn't be finished.

BLAKE BUTLER said...

i've written so much bullshit it would make you sick. i dont think your gmail could hold it all. but it makes me happy, that you've only seemed to see :) things

you make me feel happy

"You cannot fault someone for their penis unless their penis has committed crimes against you."

This made my day, Brandi. Absolutely.

Thanks for making me smile (while I also thought quite serious things in my head re: penis crimes).

water gun full of vinegar, that's the ticket.

Mike Young said...

everything i write is about teeth and nuns; that's just the first time i admitted it outright

Brandi Wells said...
