ever since i finished finals and my first year of college, i have been reading tucker max stories. my friend Jess showed me his website two weekends ago by reading me his "famous 'sushi pants' story." the following week i was distracted with studying for finals and thankfully didn't really explore his site until i was done.
tucker max is a writer who posts stories of the crazy exploits he's engaged in, these include serious levels of debauchery that make frat boys everywhere blush. he is a self proclaimed asshole and even states it right off the bat on his site. he introduces it as follows: My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole.
I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead.
But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way. I share my adventures with the world. They are known as:
The Tucker Max Stories
he then proceeds to list some of his best and most well-known stories. ive read almost all the ones he's listed and they're all bananas in their own unique way. in each story the fact that tucker is an asshole and should not be able to get away with the stuff he does crosses your mind at least a dozen times, but nonetheless you keep reading. with each story your impression of him starts out at animal house wannabe and degrades from there. having read most of his so called "classics" i can safely say that as much as he is an asshole, he is also a genius (at least at writing). his stories are riddled with as many masogynistic elements as they have pop culture and historical references including a very accurate comparison to himself and
Phinus Gage. Tucker's stories are so outrageous that they make you question their validity. i think they must have some element of truth in them because i just don't think any human is that creative. In short, they're some of the most entertaining things i've ever read, thank God i didn't seriously start reading them last week, or i would've failed all of my finals.
