Random Thoughts

Got a bad review from someone who didn’t understand my book is satire. I can only throw you so much rope.

If you’re constantly at elite cocktails parties – so elite you’re the only one there – you might not be a RINO but an alcoholic.

Chevy Volt engineering: They took the explosive fuel out of the car and yet somehow made it more flammable.

Half the time spent creating an O’Reilly tech book is used arguing which animal to put on the cover.

I sure am glad I have such a nice country to complain about.

I think outside the box. And then I cut a door hole in the box, make into a fort, and pretend I’m a pirate.

  1. The only negative reviews were either folks who don’t understand satire (they must be Ron Paul supporters) or people so devestated by the Obama economy they have no sense of humor.

    Only Obama could make the electric car dangerous. the Ford version should be named the Pinto II.

  2. Random thought: Apparently ESPN is morally worse than Joe Paterno – Paterno actually told someone about what he knew. I am again reminded of the rightness of my hatred for the press. America’s media: not just biased hacks, biased hypocritical hacks.

    Random thought: I hate it when I ask my mother for a Christmas list and she tells me to buy her beads and soap. Come on! Give me a challenge.

    Random thought: When I was a kid, Dad told me the only Christmas gift he wanted was for my sister and I to stop bickering. Now he tells me he wants nothing but expensive computer stuff.

    Random thought: Being a kid was easier.

  3. I looked at one of the 1 star reviews it said:

    There were the occasional tired jokes that raised a wry smile, but otherwise I feel cheated despite the appealing price of free.

    Free? Did this guy even buy it and read it? Sometimes I wonder if I can trust everything that appears on the internet.

    MarkoMancuso – the answers to you problems are obvious:
    Start fighting with your sister again so your dad will ask his old standard present again.
    Give your mom tuna. Everyone loves tuna!
    Being a cat is easiest.

  4. The prob with the O’Reilly book covers is that they’ve already used every animal ever discovered. I looked. You might have to wait until they discover one of those 1,543 new species that are reputed to exist in every square yard of the rainforest.

    Either that, or choose a crow. They’re wicked smart.

  5. Well, if you’re the pirate and the box is the fort, you are not IN the box, but firing on the box from your ship (the coffee table? The sofa?). Is this the origin of the Mexi-Cannon? What did you use instead, the cat?

  6. I checked out the bad reviewer’s other reviews and found he also gave a thumbs-down to a sex toy. The kind that only a looooser would own and an insane man would write a review of. I’ll bet his address has a “B” in it cause I’m sure he lives in his parents’ basement with his half a love doll. I did take the time to mock him on his literary short comings and I think I need to pray for him based on his latex preference…You owe me Frank!

  7. Marco- In my family touching Dad’s computer makes a person responsible for everything that goes wrong with it over a six month period.

    Never mind that he has 300 different downloads of spyware infected freeware all running at the same time, along with archaic programs he’s used since before microsoft existed on a hard drive that is 99.89% full.

    If you take a moment and check your email you are the reason his screen saver crashes the system.

    It is safer to just get him something from Hickory Farm.

  8. The big question is: has Buttercup discovered playing in boxes, Frank? She’ll love it if you play, too. Go get some really large, used appliance boxes at one of the ‘box stores.’ Do it today. Endless entertainment.
