I am not a literatary critic
Category: estrip

Someone keeps accidentally messaging me by clicking on the contact us link at the top instead of messaging the user - they intend to message. I recognize this can be confusing and has been rectified in the new version estrip. However, I thought maybe someone else knows who these messages are for.

I thought the first one could have been about me - but I was not sure what precipitated it and just ignored it. Maybe they meant net culture and was angry about my review of some other site, etc.

Since you are the Czar of Civilization, at what great university did you gain your credentials as a literary critic?

Since I absolutely hate reading I assume this message was not intended for me. I freely admit that I have not read any literature since I was forced to in primary school, and then some additional German literature in college.

What petty venom.

James deserves an "LOL!" for that one.

It's the quotes around the word "idiot" that make these comments so awesome.

I am sorry, I think that is directed towards me. I was editing together an anthology of Night Rider fanfiction. I rejected a piece in which Michael and Kit not only fall in love, but succumb to the passions of their forbidden lust. While the use of tailpipe was graphic it was also a little banal and obvious.

My guess is that it is somebody who got rejected from Greenfern's mag.

Wegman's organic banana from he'll

Now that we have seen just how delicious food can be, let's show the flipside. Just how disgusting food can be. What the truck happened to this banana? How did the harvester not notice? How did the packer nip notice? How did the stock boy not notice? I mean did it happen after it got put on the shelf? If so where are the things that crawled out if it. Did anyone die getting it to market? Did anyone die from it, after it got to market?

LOL. Bananas come from "third-world" tropical countries, (e:lilho). Things shrivel due to heat before they reach this state there. This looks like a very restricted fungal infection due to inappropriate quality control while storage and transport.

PS: Also strangely looks like the bone of a rotting corpse.

i thought you only saw stuff like that in third world countries, which by the way i have zero interest in going to, because i think of things like rotten fruit.

paul - 01/18/09 11:56
That was from the day we saw you. I just posted it later.

libertad - 01/18/09 11:27
That is disgusting. Are you going to Wegmans everyday now?

Pavlovas are delicious

I made pavlovas for dessert. I have a smeaking suspicion that each
one is over 600 calories of goodness. It's a giant meringue base
covered in whip cream and strawberries in syrup with grated dark
chocolate over the top.

I think I might have burnt out the beaters trying to whisk it into
stiff peaks. It's really time I get a stand mixer.

Drool Drool

Beef Roast

Megan made a beef roast for dinner this evening. It had coriander
seeds on the outside. Tgey make for such a good taste. It was so
delicious. I finally got to use my silver roast serving tray and my
new electric knife, which (e:mike) got me for Jesus' birthday. They
really do work like magic.

tinypliny - 01/23/09 17:37
Nice tray!

Buddha's hands at wegman's

I think I wrote about this once before when they were on sale but
called Buddha's fingers. I don't understand where the fruit is. It
looks like 90% pure rind. Seriously, who pays $14.99 for this. I
think $4.99 sounds like too much -they do look cool though.

tinypliny - 01/23/09 17:37
What a thing! I didn't know Buddha was a mutant!

What a great store that place is, It really is. In terms of what those are I have no idea. It looks like though you get a lot of it in the bunch. Not that I buy Bananas but I think that instead of being sold by the pound they should be sold by the bunch.
