Great Douchebags in Literature, part 3: Malachy McCourt Sr.

[wasabi_poptart]

I know I said I'd get to Mr. Darcy and I will, but first, in honor of yesterday being St. Patrick's Day and also because I'm kind of ODing on C19 British novels here, I want to talk about a class-A douchebag who is very near and dear to my heart: Malachy McCourt Sr., the father in Angela's Ashes

also, the plaque in your arteries comes from the same goo as the plaque on your teeth. so floss, in both the literal and metaphorical senses ;)

I'm glad you finally kind of see why I was so drawn to these guys. I realize now, it was all to stoke my own ego, and I never said I wasn't a douchebag either, but now that I have paid off the convertible maybe I can let it go already :-)

(btw I love you) (yes I'm drunk but I will still love you when I'm sober)

Guys like Malachy are junk food for the soul. They're easy and tasty and go down great with a couple of beers, but they slowly poison you from the inside out.

I'm several days late on this, but... thank you, THANK YOU for putting this so succinctly.
