At least back in the day, mr noseberg would just have you work at your employment location. Now they send these cucks around the World to do their bidding lol.

Best ever plane food you've had? Personally ive never had plane food better than a shitty public school cafeteria lunch line so I cant say.

Have fun drinking and eating the leftovers of first class passengers, seasoned with the spit of 70 year old flight female attendants and gay faggot attendants.
Literally the worst customer service ever, they look at you like you just mugged them whenever you ask for the smallest of things.

I'm too cheap for airport coffee. I take a couple empty bottles through security and fill them with water in the bathroom.

Hey, have you guys read LOVECRAFT? I have too.

>>12353441
Lovecraft’s prose is indescribably shit.

>>12353859
Lovecraft is fine for reading on a plane where you have noise and distractions, you poser faggot.

>>12353881
Interesting interpretation of my post.

>>12353869
Pretty much. I think his appeal is more from what he influenced, and later, more capable individuals would do his ideas justice.

Nice /lit/ thread OP

>>12353869
It successfully does what it intends to do. You just don't like that intention.

>>12353930
That anon is talking about the prose, not the stories. The stories themselves are brilliant, it's just that HP was not exactly gifted when it comes to prose. Still a based and colouroutofspacepilled writer.

>Lovecraft

>>12353981
"When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger."

Pretty soy.

I agree that the prose gets too purple some of the time but I also feel that it fits the characters and stories he's usually portraying, so it ends up working decently.
As I said already; it's fine for reading on a flight.
I would not want to spend an entire day at the library reading it "seriously", though.

Short stories in general feel best suited for flying if you ask me.
Read "State of the Art" by pic related last time I went flying. Pretty fun and low effort read.

>>12353975
He may not be the best, but to call it shit is unbelievable trolling. I'm going to hop into the shower, but when I get back I'm going to try to sort through my books and find the one that has the description of a statue that got me so in love with his writings in the first place.

>>12354049
Livestream your shower please. I'm feeling lonely.

>>12354046
I've heard others make a similar argument and from that perspective, it does make a bit more sense. The fact that he wrote for magazines with specific word counts likely influenced this as well.

>>12353975
>it's an old extremely descriptive prose style
>therefore it's shit

>>12354070
You're confusing me for the other anon. I never said his prose was shit, just overwrought and, at times, awkward. It works in the context of his writing, like >>12354046 said

>>12354049
What made me fall in love with his writing was this passage from The Shunned House:

"We were not, as I have said, in any sense childishly superstitious, but scientific study and reflection had taught us that the known universe of three dimensions embraces the merest fraction of the whole cosmos of substance and energy. In this case an overwhelming preponderance of evidence from numerous authentic sources pointed to the tenacious existence of certain forces of great power and, so far as the human point of view is concerned, exceptional malignancy."

>>12354135
This is where he shined, a sense of horror evoked from a purely scientific perspective. Refreshing when most horror deals with supernatural nonsense that doesn't hold up to examination.

>>12353981
>Enjoying things
>On 4chan

>>12354160
Somehow, he evokes feelings of horror through extremely formal and adjective-laden prose. I think it's the contrast between style and subject that does it. It's addicting (for me).

>Lovecraftian horror

>>12354175
I never thought of it like that, interesting. It does help convey the indifferent attitude of the cosmos in his work.

>>12354192

Do redditors come here when they get their accounts banned, or for those screensots of annoying us?

>>12354061
You don't want to see my piss-stained bathroom. I swear I mop it every third day, but at night I have the accuracy of a stormtrooper on a full handle of bourbon.

Can't find that story, but I lost some of my books (stolen) in the last move. Night crickets stole random boxes and now all I have is 'Lovecraft Tales' Library of Congress Edition and 'The Shuttered Room and other tales of horror HP LOVECRAFT and August Derleth' printed by Arkham House and BB Books in 1971.

>>12354289
I'm a redditor and I come here when I want to jerk off my big dick

>>12354289
I have a fair amount of his work, do you recall anything from the story?

>>12354313
Been more than 10 years. He was describing the beauty, physique, etc of a metal statue for a rather extended period of time. I had never drank or gotten high at that point in my life but I was in a trance reading what was at least a page.

>>12353539
Lufthansa. Chicken breasts with thin sliced potatoes in cheese, with a salad and a strawberry pastry for dessert. This was across the Atlantic tho, so I dunno about shorter flights, I only ever get maple crackers and soda.

>>12354474
Yeah, I mostly do short hops around Europe so I very rarely get food while I'm in the air, but Lufthansa are pretty good at giving me a decent cheese sangewedge and a beer.
It's like three different cheeses with at least one being a spreadable, so it's not dry either.

>>12354523
yeah they are pretty good imo, and the tall blond stewardess make the experience that much more enjoyable

Oh no no no no. You know how disgusting the water they use for that shit is? There's a reason why the crew won't touch the stuff.

>>12355599
Do they use toilet water?

>>12356215
That's their natural resting state. Their jaws have become slightly unhinged from sucking too much cock.

>>12356647
Technically, yes. It's the same water. Airplane toilets don't hold toilet in the bowl, as you recall. All the water is stored upstream from the point of contamination.

>"Slack-jawed faggots."

We were warned. We just didn't listen. They got preoccupied with commies and foreigners, and we got obsessed with technology, failed to see the threat.

Some airports have bottle filling stations next to the water fountains.

a thread died for this

>>12356215
I don't usually go for /fit/tier monkey memes but I think there might be some truth to the "fear grimace" thing. They do it to appear non threatening.
