missed this post earlier:

p.s. we LUV your writing!!!! :0 ;) :)

WE? Who are "we"?

Well, peachy. Suddenly I discovere I'm huge- HUGE-- in the "multiple-personality" demographic.

Q: if someone with MPD rates your Epinion, does that count as just one rate? Seems like it should count as more....

While I ponder this and other steaming fresh issues, thanks.

P.S. That yawn joke was the best single word stunt I've ever had the privilege to encounter.

Well, in that case I'll take full credit for it!

Thanks for the gumball, popeye.

Mr. Brett, (Reply to this comment)

This is a very special piece of work. I didn't really read it (I'm too busy loving everybody on the site to read), but I did notice the exclamation points. They bathed me in a warm, satsisfied feeling. I felt that you revealed a great deal about yourself with those exclamation points. You used them so effectively that I'm inclined to trust you. I think you're a little misguided in assuming that the site is about YOU YOU YOU when it's really about ME ME ME and my love for YOU YOU YOU. Oops!!! I definitely meant LUV, because that definitely comes across as more sincere. Cutesy spelling and idiosyncratic punctuation are the TRUE MARKERS OF LUV!!!

P.S. That yawn joke was the best single word stunt I've ever had the privilege to encounter.

Great Scott, Holmes! Why you're absolutely right!

Do you think you can forgive my impulsive rudeness for having leapt to so inexcusable and unwarranted a conclusion as this?

Sir, it is *I*, NOT *you,* who needs to be colored red! I am therefore going to start off by making my eyes red. Oh dear! I seem to have run fresh out of "eye-reddening ashes!" Unhhhh... but I've been told tetrahydracannabinol makes for an excellent substitute. You wouldn't happen to have any I could borrow to assist me in the completion of my technicolor task; would you?

I really like the way you incorporate wit and pointed barbs in such an entertaining and thought-out way.

Maybe I oughta go re-read this thing. It sounds way better when you describe it.

Garsh!

Thanks for the LUV!!!!

by mjfrombuffalo
This essay was fantastic. I really like the way you incorporate wit and pointed barbs in such an entertaining and thought-out way. I saw in another essay of yours that you want to write for periodicals -- well run, don't walk, to someone who will publish and PAY you, and let us know when it happens; I, for one, would love to see it.

And don't call me a trust-slut, but I'm adding you to my WOT. Looking forward to more humorous stuff

I'd really like to post a spine-jarringly hilarious comment. But, I'm shamed by your superior high-larity.

Hmph. Pretty weak excuse, Paulie. After all, your name and works are known and revered by Lufkin hoteliers, while my high-water mark of notoriety was that time I was mistaken for a gas-station attendant in La Grange. If they hadn't told me to "keep the change," I'd have complained rather than topping their tank with Premium Unleaded.

Now go write another purty Epinion. I got customers to tend to.

"P.S. I ACTUALLY read this epinion, but I haven't read the 61 comments already posted on it. Do I have time for that? "

Likely not. You'd do better to scurry instead to all my other reviews-- ignore the non-paying essays (Epinions does, after all, and if you can't trust Brisbane, then...) and click madly on my product reviews.

Hurry-- it's later than you think.

The REAL Mr. E-pinions, Hunh? (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
The REAL Mr E-Pinions would have spread this into TWO reviews, would not have been nearly as humorous in expressing his points and would have sworn undying devotion to providing scads of useful product info calculated to help the consumer make better buying decisions! And to think, I almost fell for this slick, 10-point routine of yours...

Re: Oh+man,+are+you+gonna+get+a+fat+load+of+shit+dumped+on+you+ (Reply to this comment)
by AggieBrett
Shit from where? When? Shit don't bother me none. Some folks need annoying.

Besides, anyone who'd take personal offense at anything said in this piece would first have to step forward and confess to being guilty of one (or several) of the practices which I mock. And THEN admittedly sad soul would have to rent the cajones to try and somehow argue that they are not laughably pathetic in spite of their own admission to being such.

I think it more likely that a lot of familiar folks will just somehow manage to "overlook" my little snarkfest... OR you'll start seeing the mucho bravo anonymous low ratings.

And OOOOOoooo how THAT hurts. (**sarcasm alert**)

But if anyone DOES want to get pissy, I'll be right here. If you wanna, darlin, we can dance.

...but take solace in the fact that those doing the shit dumpin' will most likely be those who are the most guilty. And I think you know what I'm talkin' about.

Also, for my money, you can knock Reading Rings and Trust Clubs all ya want, but lay off the Circle Jerks.

Re: "looking to nailgun some VHs"

Honestly-- isn't that a satisfying verb?

"Nailgun."

Very soothing. I feel better having used it it just now.

As for fezzy monkey men... walk softly, carry a big stick, keep your immunizations up to date, and always keep one round in the chamber.

...though the Just In section, looking to nailgun some VHs to some reviews to get my name out there, and lo and behold, I stumbled upon this. Very witty concept and a great use of satire. P.S. - Fezzy-Monkey-Men can be o.k. if you give them a chance.

Re: "Nabisco Cheese Nips in SpongeBob Squarepants shapes"

Well, aren't WE all high and mighty. SOME of us don't roll around in great big piles of Income Share that give us the capitalistically piggish freedom to fritter away wealth for such luxuries as SpongeBob-shaped snacks. SOME of us are toiling away for nothing-- NOTHIN!-- and are damned glad to have snacks in the shapes of faceless disposable pets.

Hmph.

too many exclamations... (Reply to this comment)
by CurtisEdmonds
not enough emoticons. One must keep a balance.

I have been surfing the web for hours, now, trying to find a burnt-orange fez, with no luck. I am sure that this does not *necessarily* mean that T-Sips have more taste than Aggies -- T-Sips can be generally counted on to have a weakness for anything burnt-orange as long as it's tacky enough -- but it is a good working hypothesis.

If you have an extra maroon fez, you might be kind enough to send it to Governor Perry, who needs all the help he can get right now.
