Best headline for grossest news award? Quite possibly.

ETA: I suppose the real news is his complaint being dismissed, so not gross. The core topic was what seemed gross.

[ZamboniWogglebug]

But Portnoy himself is gross, so you’re still accurate.

Portnoy’s complaint dismissed

Yeah, I pretty much did that too with that novel, about halfway through it. Always did think Roth is overrated.

And yes, this latter day Portnoy is at least as much of an asshole as the one in the novel.

Ah, so his complaint had about as much merit as anything else he’s known to have done with his life. Scumbags gonna scumbag.

He can’t. He does have nightly secretion’s that need to be dealt with in the morning though.
