Get the eatten out mug.American postmodernist author of the mid 80's to the current day. Ellis was one of the so called Bratpack of American authors of the 1980's along with Jay McInerney and Tama Janowitz.
Ellis writes exclusively in the first person present tenths,as if the character is narrating the book.
Ellis's first novel 'Less Than Zero'(published while still in College) was a critical and commercial smash. Dealing with the vapid lives of wealthy California teens back from College for the Christmas hollidays. Ellis followed this up with 'The Rules Of Attraction' a college melodrama set in a thinly disguised Bennington college. It received less positive reviews. Then came Ellis's most famous and controversial book 'American Psycho.' The shocking book detailing in gruesome detail the exploits of stock broker and psychopath Patrick Bateman, drew howls of outrage from critics, NoW, and Ellis even received death threats.
What was lost in the furore was that Ellis's book was a scathing satire on the 1980's and as the author himself has said, largerly a feminist book.
Ellis didn't publish another full length novel (the patchy short story collection 'The Informers' aside) until the '99 novel Glamorama. A international thriller dealing with fashion model-terrorists and the increasing shallowness of society it was easily his longest book to date and the hardest to get into.
In 2005 Ellis released Lunar Park a so-called fictional autobiography with Ellis himself as the main character tormented by figures from his past,adjusting to married life in Suburbia copycat killings from AP. Many characters from his books are characters in this socalled autobiography, delighting his hardcore fans.

Easton is a small primarily white town about 40 minutes south of Boston. Easton residents catch a bad rep from many surrounding communities, due to the fact they are generally more wealthy. The school produces smart students, often excelling in MCAS and SAT scores. Even some of the drop outs are smart.
Don't think for a second that because of the wealth Easton is soft. Last year, (2012) 3 of the strongest members of the football team each fought a member of Rival Stoughton "Tough Town"'s team. Easton fighters won all 3 fights, solidifying that Tough Town is not actually that tough. OA class of 2012 stand up!
Sports are quite successful at Oliver Ames. Usually the football team is one of the weakest teams, but a super bowl birth has brought new life to the program. Boys Soccer and Baseball have had great success. Girls athletics always seem to produce at least one state champion.
Not a lot to do in Easton though, a lot of kids just drive around smoking weed, or go to a girls basement and binge drink. As age increases, so has the drug problem. Molly, LSD, Shrooms, Cocaine, and Heroine are prominent drugs in the area. Cops are all over the drug scene though, as they have nothing better to do.
A lot of Easton Kids are well rounded, smart, caring students. Some of them are stuck up tools though, as there are groups like that in every town. Easton is a nice place to live, and produces many great young men and women from its school system.

Get the Mark Eaton mug.Easton High Talbot County Maryland
One of the worst schools.
A mixed school of preppy white kids, wannabe gangstas, and some inbetween. The kids that have lived there all their lives don't know any better, but this school is strict, and I guess the only thing left to say is it takes it up the butt. The teachers are fine. They come to EHS because they make more money due to the taxes payed out by the wealthy portion of Easton. The administration is ridiculous... If you attend Easton, you know Mrs. Maderos is a dike, the policies enforced are god aweful and completely broken and unfair, and Dr. Thurber's daily morning bullshit doesn't inspire a single person to do better. In fact, I think saying,"Learn a lot, this is an academic institution...," every morning makes students want to fail every class just to spite him. However, students know that if they fail, they can give up any hopes of getting out of the god forsaken town. Talbot county is very rich. As a new start, they gave the freshmen and following years laptops. They are a nuisance and a distraction from any school work. Anyone who disagrees has their head too far up their ass to realize that the amount of blocks and restrictions on them makes them useless. Plus, it's a way for them to monitor your actions. Every site you go to, every program you open, any video you download is being recorded from the server and sent to those tech douche bags. This is to monitor your "online safety". In other words, they want to take away your freedom.
The policies in the school are unjust. One kid can go to "checkmate" (which is rather fun) for playing games on a computer, and then a student who skips class our ditches school gets the same punishment.
The Town of Easton is perfect for the retired. It's quite, by the bay, and completely boring. The things they have to entertain the youth of Easton are the movies, filled with kids looking to start fights with anyone at anytime. Also there is a bowling alley, which doesn't give a damn about kids. They kick out anyone who doesn't bowl, and when you talk back, they cus you out. What else? If your lucky you might go to a house party or go to a friends house and get drunk or high. Besides this, there is nothing to do. The town is worthless, the school is horrible, and the people who run it suck.

Get the Easton High School mug.Home of the country's dumbest government system ever. Full of a bunch of pussies who over charge you in taxes so that they can save the trees. You may also know it for its tendency to have a retarded school system where the administration are a bunch of fags when it comes to suspending a student. People often nickname it the wannabe Greenwich Country Club or that place where a bunch of people go to waste their money on their kids thinking the school system is good. The only store in the town gives a new definition to rathole. The only good part about Easton is that it has numerous exits to get out. Kids there think they're black and dress up to a laxer style attire. Many of them would rather live and die in Bridgeport than ever set foot in Easton.
Student: I will stab you with a knife (pretending to teacher)
Male Teacher: Ugh! Oh my gosh he's gonna murder me! Police! Police! I'm going to press charges. Always in the town of Easton!
Principal:Jokingly saying that you'll stab someone violates our policies, that will be a 1 month suspension.
Principal: We called you in here because you... Do you know what you did?
Student: Uhhh...
Principal: We called you in because you logged onto someone else's account which violates our acceptable use policy. That means you're expelled.
