perfect for me (an idiot). (Reply to this comment)
by stockholder
Sounds like even I can handle this one... The books that young people read today would take me a month to read... so I think this could be perfect for me (an idiot).
thanks

So tell me, Sordie... How do you feel about orange hats?
I’m just not sure. Actually, I went ahead and tried one on in my profile picture to see how it fits. Does the hat look alright on me? It doesn’t make my ass look fat, does it?

Oh no... He's going for TR in Books! Given the quality of his last few book reviews, we're going to have to keep an eye on him. (Besides, he's reviewing stuff that no one else has reviewed! We love that in a TR!)
So tell me, Sordie... How do you feel about orange hats? :D

Be honest with me here, dude: Are you gunning for a book-advisorship now, so that you can, like, use the system to destroy the system? Cause if so, I think that's pretty cool. Word up.

I am glad, however, that you non-redundantly (in a non-repetitive manner) made the effort to de-obfuscate your previous statements. See - de-obfuscate. I just made that word up. That was a SCADly thing to do, don't you think? I am all about SCADS. SCADS and de-obfuscation. I made that word up too.

Baddy,
If ever there were a more appropriate and eloquent comment, well, doggone it, by dingies, by jingies, by the light of the silvery moon, for Pete's sake, for the love of Pete, for the love all that is holy, for the love of money, money, money, with a purple umb-uh-rella and a fifty cent hat now - I just haven't seen it.

...And Just To Clarify-- (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
Ken? Is this some sort of sick, sordid helpfulnicity joke? I will not abide outright SCADS mockery! If you become a Book SCADvisor, it will completely redefine our helpfulosity feud. It may even stem the tide of ecological suicide. Snap out of it! You're a grunt, just like me; rotten refuse, a peon-post uploading hangnail on the fickle fingers of fate. Do you think a blue burger-boy hat and badge could ever change this?! Well it CAN'T! [By the way, how did you get AJ mad? I've never seen that happen before, except that time you wrote the "Ebola" parable about her in my comment section.]
...And just to straighten out any previous unclear non-clarity:
Not only was it my intention to clarify the matter so as to provide additional clearness and added clarity, but more importantly, I wanted to provide revelatory insight by resolving excess dilutive ambiguity. I felt I could do this by minimizing false cues, paring down miscues and distilling the essence of what I was saying from the superfluosity of what I wasn't saying by narrowing my misinterpretation potential and restricting my obfuscation to a bare minimum. Besides, I thought by doing so, I could vastly increase my comment's contents' luminescence level, thereby rendering it eminently understandable in a transparent manner, creating a message in which all would find perfect consensus, leaving no one behind to disagree as to its essential meaning. Yep, all potential for confusion and underlying conjecture-possibility have been summarily scrubbed, taken out of existence and rendered "null & void." One can, with utmost confidence and certainty, say that the subject comment has been stripped to the bone of any misleading subjectivity that might otherwise have compromised the sterling integrity of its non-opacity; sullied the virgin purity of its mirror-like capacity for imparting truth, detracted from its ability to enlighten those beholden to its equivocation-bereft clauses for compelling and insightful fact-revelation. It is now the very quintessence of obscurity-free, shadow-nullifying, non-occluded, utterly self-evident plain-meaningness.
...Did I say this already?
Oh dear, I hope I'm not being redundant nor saying it twice [in a restatement-prone, repetitious manner.] Though 29th-produced SCADS may be characterized by windy hot-air packaged in prolix verbosity, annoying abstraction and overwrought metaphors... stuff like that, it never shall be repeated twice that the 29th_Consumerly-Helpfulness District is a barren, tumbleweed-filled verbal wasteland of repetition; a bleak, told-two-times tundra of recycled redundancy. The last thing you'll ever find there is idea-duplication; repetitiously repeated repetivity... of the superfluous, non-singular kind. It's like a facsimile-free, similarity-safe non-replication zone where any idea you encounter is a non sequitur-like cognition of first impression, significant for its non-reflective, non-duplicative twinlessness and non-retro, double-free singularity. Echoing of the same idea or mirroring of a previous thought in a redundant rehash of previous notions is a non-happenstance; utterly devoid of reality, because nothing there gets restated, said over and over again, noted more than once, reiterated in a restated manner, asserted multiples of times, set forth duplicatively, multiplicatively or rehearsed more than once in a row. Replication of any kind is a non-event there because I don't like saying the same thing twice or thought-cloning, both of which are essentially the same thing as copying myself and I don't do "two." Nor am I a self-plagiarist of the reverb variety. To summarize, a concept only receives singular attention in my communications; each is a bona fide, non-duplicative original of genuine, non-previous primariness, distinct and separate from any of its sister statements, "solely singular in its singleness," individual in its essence and without precedent in prior paragraphs. I will NOT say it again nor repeat myself by saying it over.

I'm NOT Ebola, and I've had ENOUGH!!! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
I have no idea what this is about. I just know what I've heard and whom I've chosen to believe.
Several months ago, I stuck up for you for something saying that I didn't even believe YOU would get that sick in your humor--that surely somebody else must have done it in your name.
Now I wonder.
When it comes to using bad language in a review, I can get past that, if it's an otherwise good review.
Though I don't use it myself, this isn't a personal problem for me to read it.
But these ridiculous flaming parties have got to stop!
Me, I could understand somewhat, because, perhaps, I was making a fool of myself over a guy (though I think you went overboard in calling me scary, mangy, etc. and still wanting to keep this mess going outside of the joke that it's now become).
But I really don't understand your attacks on other people.
I put you on my WOT some time ago, because I admired something you'd written. I really hate to take people off once I put them on, but there are times when I have to, and this is one of them.
What's making you so angry/insecure that you have to lash out and belittle others in hopes of elevating yourself?
And even go messing up their e-mail lists by sending pornographic writings to everyone through a reply-all.
You did this to me!
I wanted to believe that you didn't, but, after seeing what you've been doing to others around here, the evidence is just too strong to be circumstantial.
I think you've done this before--which explains a few other things to me that I won't go into now.
There's someone I've had mostly a land relationship with who also got e-mails from me over a shared computer, and he suddenly seemed distant.
The computer address was done away with.
This is making me very angry!!!
Anyway, you no longer have Ebola Jo to be scared to death by anymore, because this will be my last comment to ANYthing you write at your place!
I'm going to be making copies of this comment, so, even if you delete this one, there will be others!
I've had enough of this crap!!! ENOUGH!!!
From now on, start addressing me as ENOUGH instead of EBOLA!!!

Thanks for reading, William.
Hey, I'm just an amateur. If I accidentally reached a Grouch-level of quality, I assure you it would only be through smoke and mirrors.
A warning though: this book was not at all Sopranos-like. Two very different entities, some common themes but disparate handling of the subject matter.
Thanks,

While perhaps not Grouch-level quality, a very decent book review. The book in question sounds kinda Sopranos-like and you've admirably piqued my interest. I'm not familiar with the title or the author, but perhaps I'll check it out.
Re Nick's suggestion for a "guilty pleasure" button, sure, why not? We need more buttons around here to push. They can put it somewhere in the vicinity of the rarely-pushed "Most Helpful" button.

You need to leave Sordie alone now. He has important Caption Judging to do and cannot be bothered with your abandonment issues at this time. Once he has judged last week's captions and has posted this week's photo-in-need-of-a-caption, you may continue your games. Until then, bugger off, you silly sots.

Baddy Kitty,
I’m no theologian, but I do have some familiarity with the Bible, so I’m afraid I’m going to have to refute your statement. To the best of my knowledge, nowhere in the text of the Bible are words of support spoken for revenge rating and baseless mewling. Nor does it it endorse the principles (or lack thereof) that would lead one to do such things.

Lest anyone misread me – yes, I understood the facetiousness of Baddy’s remarks.

Hey, I not only fully endorse that idea, Nick, I volunteer to be the CL of that category. We can call it “Fluffy Vapidity” otherwise known as 㧆% of the Pieces Submitted to EP”.

Virginia,
Thanks for the endorsement. It is my fate to eventually become the CL of all Epinions categories. I’m not sure how quickly that will happen, but I’m hoping no longer than six weeks. At such a time as I have complete and utter control, I do not plan on favoring or opposing mere moral members due to their beauty. Rather, I intend to favor or oppose them based on how well they gratuitously pander to my every whim.
That sounds right, doesn’t it?
