I'm not sure if you check your comments or not, but here goes:

COME BACK!!!! I miss your humor and style dreadfully! I hope that you have just been busy with real life and all, and that soon you will come back to Epinions world... Faulty world that it is. Just wanted to let you know that your presence, and exquisite writing, is sorely missed.

The proper acronym is DUMBASS (Digital Unbreakable Monsteriffic Balanced Advisor Selection System).

Just a quick note from an epinions newbie to tell you how much I enjoyed your parody! I was wondering how this whole thing really works...

my regrets to all those who have lost their hats. I was trying to think of an acronym for mobiprof's AASS, something like Advisor S____ System, (AS*S) - referring to the e-mirror, but that middle word just doesn't some to mind.. I know there are more creative minds than mine out there. Perhaps they can fill in the blank.

Nice review, as always.

It never fails to amaze me how you can take a single strand of spaghetti and turn it into a whole dinner, complete with appetizers and desert!

Marvelous posting - my sides still hurt from laughing.

[But I only have ONE magic hat. They wouldn't take that and leave my head uncovered. Would they?]

I didn't even know what an advisor really was, I thought they were some professionals or something until I found out that I was one. Like you say, here today, gone tomorrow. Super job!!

I thought I'd lose my hat after having it only one month since I wasn't active at all this month but lo and behold, it's still on my head..
Really enjoyed this

Funny essay. I just got to mention you have real arrogant jerks for boytoys, but luckily that was added at the end. :-)

thing to do, Ang. Write a great, hysterical review like that, but not reveal the players. Now I am not only minus one hat, but won't sleep all night. I just hope I can hang on to the other two hats. Then I need to grab the other one back from someone who no doubt worked as hard for it as I did. I wish all this stuff didn't seem to matter so much.

BACK FROM THE SHADOWS AGAIN... (Reply to this comment)
by gargoyle23
Angela: just be sure to wear one of your Advisor's hat when you go outside, to prevent UV-related brain damage. Oops, too late! Seriously, great job, as usual. As to being an advisor, it reminds me of Mark Twain's comment on being tarred and feathered: Aside from the honor of the occasion, I'd just as soon pass.
Take care,

We at epinions are not stupid (Reply to this comment)
by Sloucho
Our crack team of metaphor/sarcasm decoders has figured out what you're getting at with this here piece of subversive literature. On behalf of Nirav Tolia, I would like to explain that we fine folks at epinions understand your concerns and have taken your criticisms under advisement. In the meantime, please remember to keep reading and rating. Also, it's better to write the first review of a product than the 483rd review of Independence Day. Thanks so much for your continued interest and participation!

incredible..I loved it!! but 2 comments

1. You only work 40 hours a week? That means you are sleeping..oh, oh, perhaps a reason to lose a hat?

2. Why the heck is it so important to us, now that's the ? for the psychiatrist:) jo

I SENT THEM A NOT RECOMMENDED!!! (Reply to this comment)
by Caprig
In response to my deposition from my single well earned advisor title yesterday, I proceeded to write a review of the advisor staff ending with a NOT RECOMMENDED and an apology that there was not a lower grade I could give them.

HAHAHAHAHHA

Your review just topped off my day. Here I was feeling all alone and dejected.....

I WISH you were able to go next week (of course, the weather outlook is for thunder and lightning storms all 3 days.... HAHAHAHHA). Think of what you are missing. A meal in a darkened restaurant with unknown people all around us (after the power outage of course). Torrential downpours. Probably will close down the town with our luck.

HAHAHAHAHA


Thanks for the great way to begin a weekend. Your ravings let off some more of my steam too.

by KMINER
though I must admit I do not know all the cast of characters, nor the whole plot -- but the overall message I think I do - I also am a little concerned over the monthly change of advisor, it makes me a little nervous, and doesn't make the title seem as important as I had once thought it ought to be ...

I am so disappointed that I missed seeing Jana blow Coke through her nose. I would have paid good money for that, LOL.
Angela, why is it that I am never disappointed when I read your reviews? Hmmm, I am guessing that you deserve that advisor title, yup sure do! :)

Someone please pass me a kleenex to dab my eyes from all the laughter.
That was not only hysterical, but extremely accurate regarding the whole process of advisor selection.

Sad (due to subject) to say this was a very enjoyable review. I too have pretty much sworn off reading Community Center reviews. I guess this goes to show I may be missing out.
