Reviews of Zachary German

Stiflingly desperate...
-Daryl the Blacksmith

A strike-out!
-Daryl Strawberry


It's like he can't think of anything new, so he just plagiarizes, or does nothing

shooting 3's, isn't very hard work

hard working men and women of america, and even the world because this applied to you Bruno Sundov, recently one ewick montwos, as he calls himself, originally named eric montross, of the boston celetics, interviewed one ttb. (two-timing-bitch), and i'm hear to say you're gona hear a lota stuff about ewick montwos. a lota "facts" and "numbers" are going to be thrown around,

most of you can see through it, but i'm hear first, to try to keep ewick montwos from getting to your children who, if brought up right, will work hard, I'M HEAR TO PROTECT THE FUTURE, I'M HEAR TO PROTECT YOU, KIDS!, from a three-point-pushin'-out-side-passin'-assist-leading-hack like montwos from telling your kids it's OK to just shoot three, and hit only 20% of them instead of driving HARD down court, through the defense and dunking a hard won two points on your opponents head!

let's look at some stats:


rookie season:

field goal percentage: EM: .534 D .648
free throw % EM .635 D .785
assists EM 36 D 64
steels EM 29 D 58
blocks EM 61 D 109
RBI's EM 0 D 104



how can you back a man who doesn't even have a single RBI?







and i have it here, proof, that eric montross have NEVER taken a 3 in a game

on a rip-raoring-enviormental-river-dumping-toxic-waste-economic-train-wreck-strike.


the golden bear, back? now the D doesn't know how to feel, but he is asking the golden bear if he will take paw in hand with welding glove, and together we can turn those purple mountains magisty into glowing mountains of radioactive decay.

a more writerly side of D

working so hard i rarely have time to write, reflect, and put my thoughts down, and haveing so many writer friends in the jagur uprisng i efelt i needed to write something, it's in book form though short, while the hardest working man in america was living with TTB we wrote this little diddy, that described our day to day lives:

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
WHEN YOU FIND STRANGE HANDS IN YOUR SWEATER
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six

The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks

Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel

Daryl knows his people

I would like to make the announcement that i am planning on releasing a short publication of interviews i've conducted with various people. the working title is "The Name of this douche-bag is Zachary German" it's a field guide and handbook for venturing into the world of writing, to familiarize yourself with the major pillars of the writing community. look for it on Mellville-House books.

D: so people, with, and without jobs, are reading your work all over the world

Z: i suppose so

D: how's the whole, how do you say, sucking aspect of your career treating you?

Z: ah, i mean, i don't think i suck, people read my blog, i'm reading with Tao Lin in New York City, i think i'm doing pretty well

D: well, i guess you only need one fan who actually is good to get you places i suppose

Z: HEY, i got lot's of fans, i'm pretty good

D: some may argue Tao Lin is pretty good, i mean he has a life time book deal, has PHYSICALLy published works, has probably gotten laid in his life time, and only a few years older than you, you've got-

Z: I"VE GOTTEN LAID!

D: and you're also the hardest working man in america, tell me, how do you plan on defending yourself against the jaguar uprising?

Z: defend? i don't need to defend myself, i'm a successful writer with a career, what could they do?

D: yes, but if you're not aware the internet buffer comes down may 2nd when you and the jaguar uprising come face to face in the KGB bar-area. tell me, are you good at thinking on your feet? or do you need time to think of a come back?

Z: I'm witty!

D:i guess we'll find out. follow up question: when do you plan to stop riding tao Lin's coat tails?

Z: THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!

D: hey where you going? i'm not finished, we didn't even get to touch on your lack of style...

Z: FUCK YOU! (leaves IM CHAT)
