The Worst

[BlackShanglan]

I'm in the process of reading 157 submissions to a small literary magazine. Some of it is quite good ... then again, one is a full=page rant, in meter, against a prom queen, with snivelling, whining, bitter comments about her weight, her father's wealth, and her morals. Dear Lord, spare us all. Nothing quite so attractive as the image of the author frothing bile down the front of her prom dress.

What's the worst thing you've read lately?

(Carson need not mention any specific poem. Ahem.)

I just tried to read a new and highly acclaimed book about the psychological and physiological effects of birth trauma on breastfeeding. It's a subject I'm deeply passionate about and couldn't wait to get my hands on the book.

It was the worst.
Boring.
Badly Edited.
Full of partially and incorrectly drawn conclusions.

I was so disappointed.

In the local paper here in Bumblefuck, there's a column written by a woman my grandma used to go to chuch with. Usually, it contains the latest big-haired, bible-thumping rant about anything ranging from abortion to scrapbooking. Why the powers that be there at The Bumblefuck Blabbermouth let this woman froth at the mouth every week is beyond me. Then again, why the fuck am I reading it when I only open the paper to read who got arrested in the first place?

I just finished Cry Wolf by Tami Hoag, it was pretty good. I have been doing too much Ahing to really read a book. I didread some of Belegon's stuff and some of EA's stuff. I was pleasantly entertained for the whole thing.

I just have to ask - is it a rant against scrap-booking? Because I could do with a few of those ...

I think the worst thing I read recently was a scrapbook.

Find the plot hard to follow? Or too many big words and not enough pictures?

Worst thing I read recently was a post on another board. The following comes to you from a man who already shot his own dog because he thought his pistol was unloaded:

Any ideas?

Don't point it at the dog?

No. Please. Not the briar patch.

No, quite true ... they're even working on teaching this one to read accurately.

That never fails to bring a grin.

Somehow, I can't fathom what you could possibly be lacking.

I was thinking leather and a riding crop. But the briar patch it is.

Same here, lol. Scrapbooking is supposed to be cute. And when you have kids, it just makes it more so.
