Lambchop Needs an Editor
It's good to know that there's at least one person out there I'm a better writer than.
BTW, has anyone actually been able to read an entire post by Ellison? Anytime I try, my brain gets angry because it thinks I'm trying to hurt it, and then I have to assure my brain, "I would never hurt you. You are a good brain. You got me a good engineering job." Still, my brain usually remains suspicious for the rest of the day and then I have to calm it down using beer.
Now, brain, I am trying to hurt you when I drink beer, but it’s a good hurt.
Wow, even I write better than that.
The dude writes like Geraldo Rivera talks. Listening to Geraldo is mind-numbing, and all I can do is ask, "You plan on adding a noun and a verb to this endless run-on, bra', or should I just shoot myself?"
Even more annoying than the crap I leave in the comment section.
His prose reads like turn of the (20th) century work (pre-WWI). Wordy, excessive, not demonstrative enough. No one ever explained to him that avoiding the verb “to be” is a must.
To be or not to be, and darn it the answer has to be not to be? Woe be this the end of spacemonkey?
