Guilty.
Guilty.
Guilty.
Sh.it.
Honestly, baby, it's not mine.
When I can feel myself become elated because this random voice, of whom I've only read TWO measly articles from, proclaims that I suck and/or rock.. it's gotta be a pretty damn good article. I'd say the usual 'better than you might realize' stuff, but I'll bet you KNOW how good this is, so in the interests of keeping your head only slightly larger than the average TV, I'll stop now.
Excellent, (couldn't resist)

I Read Most of That Out Loud, While Grinning (Reply to this comment)
by david_deacon
. . . hoping that the people in the next room would hear me and ask, annoyed, what I was reading. It didn't work. You've got to work on reducing your smugness quotient, Eyore; in your essay you (alternate between) "suck" and "rock" fast enough and often enough to power a small car. If it's any consolation, I couldn't think of twenty things to say about myself for the write-off, so I suck. I can only say in my own defense that I am fictional.

Hi Molly,
I agree 100% with you, but I'd like to point out that my review contained 19 other generalizations that are equally unfair and inapplicable to some writers on this site. That's the thing about generalizations: they sweep up many of the exceptions to the rule. I stand by the rule that MOST youngsters are not good writers yet, and their contributions tend to be weak and self-indulgent. That clearly is not the case with some of the youngsters, who are capable -- even fantastic -- writers and thinkers. I haven't read anything of yours yet, but based on your comment, I have great hope that you are one of these exceptions. Thank-you, both for rating me honestly, and for having the sack to tell me off. I look forward to reading your reviews.

While I found... (Reply to this comment)
by mrb129
...your article for the most part quite entertaining - I VH'ed it - I did not appreciate your comment about teenagers' incompetence on Epinions. This generalization is not only too broad even to take seriously but it also a false depiction of many qualified writers here. I am only 16 years old but, over the past three and a half years, I have managed to write over 120 reviews - the wide majority of which have a VH rating - and make a name for myself in the Epinions community. I would appreciate it if you didn't make such generalizations about fellow writers.

Re: question. (Reply to this comment)
by Mr.Eyore
Okay, here's a tip: Send me a freaking email instead of asking me ratings questions in the comments of a review that has nothing to do with you, the restaurant, or ratings. That's why the email address is right there on the profile page.
But as long as you're here: You're right. The review deserves better than an SH. If you haven't edited since the time I first rated it, then I made a mistake. It happens from time to time, and I appreciate getting EMAILS from people who think it happened on one their reviews, so I can fix the mistake. As I will do here.

I'm glad I didn't read any of the twenty things w/o contributions, except yours, now that you mention it. I think if you have to mention your favorite color as an interesting thing about yourself that definitely says it all right there.

Re: 17 and 20 was me (Reply to this comment)
by Mr.Eyore
Oh yeah? You got any left?
Take a deep breath, Ginz, then let it go man. This whole flame war between you and whateverhisnameis, is about the clumsiest and least artful battle of wits and logic this site has ever seen. Besides, I'm sure most of those babies deserved it. They usually do, little f*ckers.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Congrats-- (Reply to this comment)
by jdhauer
Yeah? And who did you steal it from? Huh?
It dates back to my college days when I used to volunteer at the Red Barn. One of the regular bands (Government Cheese) had a very popular song titled "Fishstick Day". One night after the show, I was walking back to the dorm with a friend and we were both a little happy and were discussing how little we cared about the new policy which stated that each patron was limited to four beers.
I'll admit that I don't remember if I first used the phrase or if Kenneth Quisenberry did. However, THAT is its true genesis.

As much as I hate to bring Sordid-1 into a serious discussion of anything, since he’s well known here (as someone who steals my ideas -- such as the phrase "flying fishstick" -- and claims them as his own, and who is, despite assertions to the contrary, only the second biggest a.sshole on the site)
Excuse me for butting in, but I believe that Sordid-1 stole the phrase "flying fishstick" from me.
You rock anyway.

They are crude sexual metaphors for the ratings and commenting practices, and the searches for greater glory through meaningless accomplishments, engaged in by nearly every member of this site.

A "fake lawyer" would be one pretending to be a lawyer who is not really one, ermitano. It harkens back to lovely flame wars from epinions' distant past. But we still like to bring it up now and again.

The "Look to your left...." spiel was given us too during law proper orientation. The only thing that told me was that the professor, and, likely, most of his colleagues were pompous, self-important asses.
Then again, many lawyers here are.
Law students are worse. I can spot them easily in a bar, talking too loudly about esoteric points of law that they will, most likely, never encounter in practise. Too amusing.

If all you can do to tell me about yourself is to regurgitate items that other writers have put on their "20 Things" lists, then you're a complete moron who is totally unable to think for himself. You suck.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: In all honesty ... (Reply to this comment)
by Mr.Eyore
Yes Nate, it just so happens I like all the exact same things you like, except that I also have a special butt-plug with horse-tail attachment that I like to wear when I'm running around with my wooden spoon. Also, I sometimes tell people when I'm dressed up like that that my name is Mayor McCheese, and I can't rightly say why I have that compulsion.
Trying to answer this particular point has grown as tiresome as, well, as this thread. I did not look out upon the teeming masses of epinions boys and girls who felt like writing about themselves and say unto them "Y'all suck." I pointed to a particular class of braggarts, blowhards, retards and liars and tried to note what it was about their statements that was laughable. If you saw something of yourself in that assessment, I don't know what to tell you. I didn't particularly see anything of you in it.
But again, if it helps you to think that I'm the type of person who would write with affectation about my own misperceived importance, and I thereby suck by my own assessment, please do so. I can assure you I suck by a great number of other measures too.
None of that is ever going to have anything to do with whether or not protesters take freedom for granted, or whether or not our potential lack of historical or social common ground is a relevant point in discussing the merits of your assertion regarding protesters.

Re: Re: Re: Re: In all honesty ... (Reply to this comment)
by nchoward
We've been commented about our personal differences (we both at least know my background). Or should I say that I've stated that your background is far too different from mine to understand where my point of view comes from. You haven't given me anything to work with other than entrench every time I try to find out about you. I will have no higher or lower opinion of you based upon where you came from. I guess it comes down to what I know many others are thinking:
You are quick to tell us all that we suck. We want proof that you don’t suck just as badly.
If I suck, well, I’m damn proud of it. I hope that you can embrace my suckiness and we can move on. You’re right, where you came from or who you are has little to do with how well you can write and I don’t expect you to respect my words more or less based on my history. I’ll give you that.
I was just hoping that you also liked to put on tightie-whities over your slacks, wear a wife-beater covered with ketchup and mustard stains, and parade around public streets at midnight with a wooden spoon. On good nights, I like to wear those googly slinky glasses and wear those rubber overshoes.
I'm working on that Tax thing for you ...
