I picture Gately like picrel, it does explicitly state he looks like pic related. Maybe it is because I am an old fag and remember when Cheers was on.

Mario. I wish I could give him a hug. Bringing up God in the dining hall... Peeking into Ennet house and thinking about his love for Hal. Picturing him assisting JOI...
I also love the way his character made me think about all the times I've felt awkward or like a freak for simply wanting to be genuine and say the warm things that are on my mind.

Mario is the best character in a book full of amazing characters.
The scene where he shakes hands with all the homeless guys trying to scam people into giving them money by asking them to "touch them" almost made me cry.

Okay, faggots, listen up, it's the weekend, I'm going to the bookstore sometime to get a fucking new book to read because I just finished coming down from Gravity's Rainbow and my cock is still hard from the scene where that dude at the shit out of the dominatrix's ass while pretending it was a nigger dick. Do I buy this book? Is it actually good, or is it a meme? I've heard every opinion from 'It's a masterpiece' to 'it's a pretentious crock of shit that we need to bring back the 3rd Reich just to burn'. So, tell me, is the cute slampig of a woman at the checkout counter going to laugh at me for buying it, or is she going to think I'm big brain?

So pretty much the same as GR. Who cares and the girl at the checkout probably barely registers you or what you buy.
