Chaos
Aug 09 '01
The Bottom Line I guess to keep me active here, sslabs has to keep inviting me to write-offs.
This is my entry into sslabs "chaos" write-off. Below are the other participants:
Katmar, ArielsSong, Shilmafone, *Gamblinfamily, Christy13, Lightnin, Mattjoe, IleneG, Pantera00d, JennJoy, Phineaskc, Madtheory, Sarah_Knipper, Teddiec, Divine_Cheese, Tigerlily137, NoMttrWht, Alawston, Daniel_RF, *isinga, Splitsurround, ad-dollars, redsox75, sumo_rhino, psychovant, repulsemonkey, lambchops, dchefsours
And now, on with the show...
Name three things that you are sure to find at the epinions headquarters. Survey says!
PASS
And three things you won't find there. Survey says!
Also Pass. I have no clue, and don't want to even speculate.
Right now, there are four choices to rate opinions with. NH, SH, H and VH. If I could add a fifth button it would be . . . . and it would . . .
BS. It could have many uses. One of which could be for those writers (who shall remain nameless) who don't even OWN the product being reviewed. Or, for those who are full of sh!t in general. A very dynamic rating which could be good or bad.
How many epinions writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Four:
One to review the brands of light bulbs.
One to analyze light bulb installation methods.
One to install the bulb.
One to leave a nasty comment about the whole thing.
Who wants to be a millionaire, lightning round Put these events in proper chronological order and explain your reasoning.
A. The US government finally discloses who shot JFK
B. A man lands on Mars
C. Boy bands are not popular
D. Epinions gets the site running correctly and stops saying 'we apologize for the inconvenience'
C, B, A, D (or "see bad"). Wait, this is a trick question.
If I could have a one night stand with any epinions writer and not get into any trouble as a result, it would definitely be
sslabs - Those of you who have been here a while know of the glock profile picture. Whatta man! Too bad he changed it, though we can now see his face better. I even emailed to ask if he'd be p!ssed if I took a similar picture of me for my profile. But he knows imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
It's all about the music Flashback
There is a boating accident in international waters. You look over the edge of your boat and you see Mariah Carey, Scary Spice, Britney Spears and Janet Jackson all trying desperately to stay afloat. You can only find two life preservers, who lives and who dies?
OK, this is hard. If I go by actual talent, Mariah and Janet. Mariah actually has a great voice. Janet has a sub-par voice, but is a great entertainer. On the other hand, Janet and Britney have their own, um, flotation devices. Therefore, Mariah and Mel (Scary) should get the life preservers. Or, I could just leave them all and go listen to Tori Amos.
If all the advisors in the category of music and all the advisors in kids & family got into a bar fight, who would win and why?
Are you kidding? Have you not heard of the vengeance of the soccer moms?
You're at the dinner table with Nirav Tolia (the epinions big cheese). Do you
A. kick him under the table.
B. stab him in the hand as he passes you the butter.
C. embarrass him by mentioning that bug ridden site you found called epinions
D. simply ask him to pass the gravy and contain your rage, disappointment or other negative feelings.
E. hug Nirav for creating epinions.
F. punch Nirav for creating epinions.
G. pretend Mr. Tolia isn't even there.
H. other.
Both E and F. I loved epinions when I first signed up in April of 2000. When it went through "the change," I lost interest and motivation to write reviews. If you'll notice, the only writing I've done since the change is sslabs write-offs. Hmmm....
After dinner I saved Nirav Tolia's life, and he gave me complete control over epinions for 24 hours. The very first thing I'm going to do is . . .
Oh, I don't know. There's too much. Fix the email alerts so they're less sporadic and more reliable. Pay writers more. Change advisor choosing so that it's a little more diplomatic and makes more sense. Fix whatever causes geocities hosted pictures to not show. I can't find a free hosting site that's compatible. Any suggestions?
If writing opinions were an Olympic event, this one would take the gold for funniest opinion.
Instant Diarrhea Now Available in a Variety of Flavors by Anne-Gwish, the Gothic Mistress of Epinions. It's her review of Slim-Fast. The pro is "available in a variety of flavors. The con is "diarrhea, cha-cha-cha." She admonishes the user to stay close to home, wear cotton underwear, and warns of diarrhea and "other types of runny fecal discharge." Hilarious. Actually, any of Anne's reviews make me laugh out loud.
Honorable mention: Anything by chrisbickel. Especially his review of Black Flag's My War entitled "Parents: An excellent Xmas gift for your suicidal teenager."
If I could invite any writer to this write-off that was not originally invited by "sslabs" it would be
missleigh. She's my best friend, a talented writer, and would love to sound off on her epinions frustrations, too. (She has not written since the change, either.)
