13 - A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again
from HariCuts Hosted by Hari
In which we finally conclude our Caribbean Luxury Cruise with David Foster Wallace, involving a drinking game where we drink with each of the 48 footnotes in an action-packed last day of minute-by-minute managed activities, featuring losing at chess to a 9-year-old girl, winning at decktop Ping Pong over a 26-year-old pro, getting punched in the eye, almost throwing up caviar at old ladies, enduring an anecdote on the near-fatal suction powers of the Vacuum Sewage System, and a hypnosis session that generates a trance in DFW about returning to reality, very much the way that reading his essay aloud has been itself, for me, an epic Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again.
