Fuck you. You’re an idiot. You come home, from the bar, grab a couplea freshies from the fridge and proceed to plop into a chair out on your deck. Oh, you got some good weed. Really? I’m impressed. Whaddaya 16?  
Oh yeah, the gnats, they’re fuckin’ bad. I like how you try to smoke your pot when the gnats are flying up inside your glasses. That’s some real funny shit.  
Yeah, grab that bottle of Absorbine jr., it repels the fuckers, 'cept its been sitting out on your air-conditioner unit at about 7000 degrees all afternoon. Yup, twist the cap off and spread it about your forehead.  
Oh, the applicator-sponge-thing prevented a pressure equalization?  
Welcome to Linamint Falls. That frying sound is your eyes.  
I think there is an entree at the China Hut, #36- Fragrant Eyebows with Eyeball Rangoon. That’s you.  
You shy-up 'round linamints? you piece of shit.

So did you get high too? Get high and then mess up with writing something here in your OP that necessitated you going back and editing it?

I was sober and I didn’t understand, so I got high. I still don’t understand, but I now feel better and am amused.

At least he went out and _got_ some weed, unlike you, who mooched it.

Absorbine Jr as bug repellent? Is that a stoner thing? Does it work?

I had no idea what Absorbine Jr was so googled and got this: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR79K7PARHk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR79K7PARHk), live from downtown Springfield no less!

If **Super Kapowzler** wrote a book, I would buy the fuck out of it. Hell, I’d buy five copies and give them to my friends, and then buy five more and give them to people I hate. Thompsonian shit up inz.

I believe that Mr. Kapowzler is complaining about an acquaintance who likes to indulge in various mood- and mild-altering substances and who dislikes the presence of gnats as he does so. To repel said gnats, the acquaintance prefers to use a product that causes his eyes to sting and then complains about the discomfort. Mr. Kapowzler is simply using his Kapowzlerian style to describe the above.

Okay, but in the closing chapter the protagonist applies liniment to his forehead, neglecting the pressure build-up within the bottle, and causing a cascade of liniment over his eyebrows and into his eyes.

This sounds hysterical, not pit-worthy.

That’s what I got out of it too. But I can’t figure out how this is a pit topic. Okay, the guy got some ointment in his eyes. Where does the part about being a worthless bastard who deserved it come from?

Yes, in the Dickensian tradition, where the protagonist stands by to witness society’s impersonal mechanisms. We see this emerge at the pivotal plot-point:  
[QUOTE=Dickensian Plot-Point]  
Oh, the applicator-sponge-thing prevented a pressure equalization?  
[/quote]  
Ultimately, we are all helpless pawns of industrialization, and must make do as best we can.

That’s some funny shit.
