@scribblingdown: Best name for a show, ever thought of. Ever. I would watch it and then re-watch it and then when I go to Heaven it would be playing in HD.
@UrbanAchiever: Really? Why do you do it?
@LizzieBennet-Darcy: The business side of writing - rejections, royalties, deadlines, and those shenanigans - are a pain, and nobody is claiming otherwise. But the actual writing? I'm not saying it has to be fun. I am saying that we shouldn't look down on people who find it fun. Like I said, Raymond Chandler was more…
@ardentlilac: I find writing fun. I guess that means I'm not a decent writer.
@kansasgirl: It's a horribly awkward email to read and it's embarrassing for the guy who wrote it, but there is nothing malicious, mean-spirited or crap emailish about it that I can see. Where is the empathy?
@FrabjousDay: No, I'm with you. Why hire Crystal Renn if you don't want her to appear in your photographs? Honestly.
@HRH Your Cuntness aka likepenguins: I know! He's a photographer. He's paid to make a record of a woman's beauty, not to "make" some kind of beauty of his own out of a woman's body. Ugh indeed.
@KTope: Isn't it quite possible that those excerpts, given that they're the first chapters of the authors' most famous works, are actually the texts that the algorithm is based on? Obviously it proves the test isn't random, but it doesn't say a lot about how advanced it is.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: Chandler's in the database and my intentional Chandler homage got Dan Brown? Sadmaking.
@LetsFoldScarves: I think "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" is one of his more accessible works, and for maximum accessibility points, it was made into a film!
One of my short stories was James Joyce, which is notionally good news for a Joyce fan. Confusingly, another one was Dan Brown, and another Douglas Adams.
@AllieCaulfield: I'm sorry if I seemed like I was equating Gibson and Polanski; I wasn't. I may have been comparing them, in that both have committed violent crimes toward women and both have been discussed by Whoopi Goldberg, but I didn't mean to portray their actions as equal in any way.
@AllieCaulfield: I'm sorry, but I don't see it that way.
@PennyFarthing: Okay, where we fundamentally disagree on this one is that there actually was a "new dress code". When do you feel this new dress code came into effect? Before or after the customer complained? If after, how is it a "dress code" rather than merely a rash once-off response to a rash once-off complaint?…
@Norton: Whatchu talking about rape? Everyone knows the sedated thirteen-year-old was asking for it.
@PennyFarthing: Given the fairly intolerable heat of working in an ice-cream shop surrounded by hot electrics all day, I don't think the author was necessarily concerned about "expressing herself by way of shorts". It was too hot to work in jeans. If the manager had had a real problem with the shorts, he had plenty of…
@Tippi Hedren: I don't get it. Who's pretending to listen to anyone? The kidz nowadays actually do listen to music in between wearing legible stockings and getting all up on your lawn.
@Rosebush: Um what? I haven't read all of Shakespeare's works, but I've never come across the phrase, none of the articles I've read about the song reference Shakespeare, and the quote doesn't pull up any Shakespeare links on Google. Where are you thinking it's from exactly?
@badmutha: I think there is some difference between the private ties between a philandering husband and his wife, and a man who yells "if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it'll be your fault". Like maybe a lot of difference. One is a man who you wouldn't want to be married to, and one is a man you would never want…
