I don’t remember the title 
I know it’s by Michael Moorcock…it’s, y’know, the one that’s all angsty and the hero is kind of an asshole.
Any ideas? I’m so confuuuused!
The Cornelius Chronicles perhaps?
This is a joke, right? First, could you help me find that one Dylan tune where he sings it really bad? 
Is it in the Elric series?
My first thought was Elric, too. Elric might be described as an angsty asshole.
I know that one! It’s…dang, I’m blanking on the title. Lemme think, it might be on my CD rack next to that one Nick Cave album where he sings about people getting killed.
Yeah, you may want to cough up a bit more information on this. Can you remember the character a little better, an event that took place, the cover?
Er…

Hmm…come to think of it, all Moorcock heroes have a bit of the surly/angsty in them.
That guy that lives on the ice fields and drive a bear-sled (name escapes me)? The Dancer at the end of Time-guy?
OK, I’ve admittedly read a lot of MM.

Come to think of it, I think I remember the title. It was something like Hunter Hawk Attempts to Start a CS Game Thread and Fails Miserably.
Rackum frackum posters in CS, all goddamn helpful, no goddamn cynics, can’t recognize a straight line when it’s handed to 'em on a silver platter…
Wait, let me see if I got it…
That Nick Cave album where he sings about people getting killed? Yeah, I listened to that one while reading that Clive Cussler book. What was it? Where Dirk Pitt gets the hell beat out of him… You know, that one where Al rescues him then he recovers just enough to beat the bad guy and then get the girl?
Like that?
Wait -
Well, you guys have me at a disadvantage - I’ve only read one Michael Moorcock book. Maybe I should have been suspicious that the OP sounded like it was describing that particular book.
But, hey, I’ve read a lot of Frederik Pohl. Ask me about that book he wrote with the well-meaning but ineffective hero.
I’m looking for that Roger Zelazny book with the worldly, witty, incredibly tough protagonist. After I find it, I’ll want to re-read that Stephen King story - you know, the one with the 12-year-old boy who’s wise beyond his years.
Nah, that one sucks. The story you oughta re-read is that one by Lovecraft–you know, the one with a few too many adjectives.
Hey, what was that Piers Anthony book that was Very Vaguely Creepy in regard to young women?
LOL. That is great. I really didn’t know that was a joke. Sarcasm is soo hard to understand on the internet when it isn’t in BOLD or in small text. 
Nice.
Or that Mercedes Lackey book with the spunky female protagonist who Overcomes All To Be Awesome and Gets The Guy Too… I can’t remember which one it was.
I think I remember that book; I read it on a long airline flight, along with that one Michael Crichton novel that has the really arrogant scientists in it.
No, no- it’s the Dean Koontz book with the supernaturally smart and devoted dog.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of that Jack Chalker novel where the guy gets turned into a woman?
I started to read it, but was distracted by a television show. It was the Gilligan’s Island episode where they almost got off the island.
