Excuse me while I go pout for the next year or so. ;_; I want it! But I am about 800 different kinds of broke until February, mostly because of car stuff. *sulks*

I know the Truth when I see it.

[EDIT] Ok, there are bad books, and there are bad books. But it takes some kind of extra-special-sooperbad book to tell you not to mock the phallus. Can we mock the book instead?

Apparently not:

Publicly mocking an author whom you have never met, based on word of mouth about one chapter of a book you haven’t actually read is ridiculously childish behaviour, and totally disrespectful of a fellow writer.


If you read the little bit in that first link, I think you'll agree: "And in most cases, there wasn’t any actual mocking invovled — reading the text was enough to send everyone into fits of laughter, all without any commentary."

Quite, quite true - no commentary is necessary, that really speaks for itself, painfully. Amazon, however, has a suprisingly good rating for it, although it's based off of only one review. Anyone feeling brave enough to read it? ^_^;;

[EDIT2] Oh my god, I CAN NOT STOP LAUGHING! The mental images start with a roster dressed up like Spidey's nemesis, and go rapidly down hill from there. I'm randomly busting out in fits of snicker so hard my eyes are watering. Venom cock!?!

[EDIT3] Oh dear, it appears that this is not an isolated incident of spectacularly bad writing. She did what with that carrot? Again, no commentary is necessary. Just...wow.

I'd sell bodice daggers, with a name like that. Nifty ones that double as scissors, like the pair I picked up at the final weekend of PARF.

For [livejournal.com profile] silverstah:

Bodice Scissors-Dagger )

Apparently if I wear my garb to VARF and have this in full view under my lacings, I could be charged with a concealed weapon violation. If I wore one of my regular daggers in the same way, no concealed weapon violation. I can't wrap my brain around that logic, but hey! This is the most awesome thing ever!
