We can see that via the escaped lunatic tag. Welcome to Bay12.  

[Tellemurius]

1984 is a horrible book.  Why is this turning into a romance novel.  I already know there isn't going to be some badass war against Big Brother now since I'm like half way done with the freakin thing.  That really sucks.

it gets worse trust me.

[lordnincompoop]

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

You will never be able to leave.

[ToonyMan]

Greetings, comrade!  You are trapped in a horrible book!

The hell's wrong with you? It's a great book. The Black Dossier version is better, though. :3

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Tijuana-bible-esque "Pornsec" pamphlet in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier, produced by the INGSOC regime, and included in the titular "Black Dossier" because O'Brien found it funny (because now the LoEG includes some form of every piece of fiction ever written in its cannon, including 1984 and Shakespeare ):

(Takes place on an assembly line; Caption: "COMPULSORY ENJOY! YOU READ NOW! WORKBELT CRIMEPOKE!")
Winston-analogue: "Damn them Jane, I must non-proc you now!"
Jane: "Waste-crime! Make do and mend!"
W: "Aah! Ahh! Yes! In this moment of timeless animal lust we cast off our shackles!"
J: "Info-req: is it in?"
W: "Oh! Our sacred, shameless act of desire defeats them! Their oppression is meaningless before out lust! Oooough. Jesus..."
W: "Unngh! Unngh! Unngh! See how we... HURRRGH... See how we celebrate life! This sweet defiance shows that they can't take away our dignity!"
W: "We are free, Jane! Free! Oourrngh! Oh god, yes, take it, you dirty, blank-faced robotic bitch..."
J: "We are the dead."
J: "Thinkpol! He non-procked me in worktime! Long live Big Brother!"
O'Brien: "Doubleplusgood work, informant Jane."
O: "Take him to miniluv for re-ed."
(Takes place in room 101; Caption: "YOU NOT DO THIS!")
W: "AAYEEEEEGH! MY EYES!"
O: "Imagine a patent leather boot grinding on a human tongue forever."
J: "Mmn."

It makes more sense if you remember that Alan Moore wrote it.

Wife duped me into going to a church today. There were upward of 1000 people in there. Had a panic attack and had to leave.

From the crowd or the church?

From the crowd, I think. If it was the church, I doubt he would have included the bit about the 1000+ people.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly dislike churches, but they hold no mystical power over me.

Yeah what the hell is wrong with me.  I'll start liking the book now thank you.

Dammit, these fingerless gloves make me look like a Digimon.

[ChairmanPoo]

Pimple on my face, any attempt to burst it is very painful, to the point of making my eyes water.  Yet I know this thing must die.

Hey, have you ever heard of the Triangle of Death?

[Duke 2.0]

Dammit, these fingerless gloves make me look like a Digimon.

Every time I see fingerless gloves I can't help but have Stalker flashbacks. And I don't think Stalker had that many fingerless gloves, it's just my headcanon for rogues in the barren wastelands after The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

[ToonyMan]

Fingerless gloves just make me think Armstrong.

[Akigagak]

Damnit, Main Office. Half of the books we get in that come pre-stickered are done so incorrectly, so us glorious Temps have to go through the dozens and dozens of boxes, re-applying hundreds of offer stickers, before we can put the damn things on the shelves.

Still, work's work. And £7.50 an hour, 7 and a half hours a day, for 15 days is.... well worth the time.

Good.
Also, I had a really bad day for reasons I'd rather not disclose. :[

Why is Vector wearing fingerless gloves?  Is she hitting the road for a life of adventure as a mathematical mercenary?

I'll be honest, my conception of fingerless gloves has always been colored by Soldier of Fortune, myself.

I'd have actually argued in favor of the book, but I don't really care. It was just an opportunity to reference the Black Dossier in a relevant fashion.

I recommend watching Brazil instead. It's basically 1984, but better.
