all of these are not like the others

We had a going-away party for one of our acquisitions editors today. The editorial director got up and gave this long speech about how great she was and all that. Then she got up and thanked him for everything he'd done for her "despite his deranged self-posturing." I said damn.

Remember when you were a kid and you'd just gotten out of the shower, you'd stand in front of the mirror for a few minutes, messing your wet hair up into all sorts of crazy looks and making funny faces? Yeah. I still do that. I'll post pictures one day, but you have to give me money or favors in return.

Almost ten years ago, I worked with a chick named Shawnacca. And it just occurred to me about ten minutes ago that I should have called her Chewbacca for kicks and hijinks. Oh, well--live and learn. The next time I run into a Shawnacca, I'll know what to do.

frackinfrickin: like, you can't just roll up amongst them people and start babbling about clit-licking lesbians

People, if you're going to have authors in your list of interests, at least have the common decency to spell their names correctly. That is all.

You ever think that maybe it's some other author you haven't heard of? Huh? Maybe it's a different Steven King or Edger Alan Po.

Or maybe they're not authors at all, they're culinary artists. I hear that Ernie Hemigway makes a creme brulee to DIE for.

Hrmmmmm, could be. Or auto mechanics. I'll bet F. Scott Fitzgerald is a renowned muffler technician!

Goddammit, I forgot to spell it "Fitzgearald." I'm way too anal.

That's why I never listed Chuck Paliknucklefuck.
But, I loved Choke and Lullaby!

HAW. I've read some of his stuff, but I've never written about him--probably for that exact reason!

Better to keep your mouth shut and just let people assume you're smart than open it and sound like an idiot.

I don't talk much. For all they know, I'm a fucking genius.

That bastard couldn't even decide how to spell his own name. Shakespere, Shakespeare, etc. . . . Not to mention whether he even wrote his own stuff . . .
