Lulz by Amadeo

Written by: on Apr 28 | My Response To | No Comments »

This is a response to my last post and Jason Beghe putting out an interview 

In it for the LULZ
“Anonymous is Legion. Anonymous does not forgive. Anonymous does not forget.”
Ummm…Anonymous

I’m not sure if any of you are down with this, but the interwebs are powerful. I’d recommend that you read more about Scientology. I won’t even bother to get into some of the things I’ve come across.

The Internets Stay Watching by Amadeo

A series of tubes

“The World Web Internets is a series of tubes (not a big truck which you just dump something into), used to transfer important information (porn) worldwide. It has, in recent years, evolved into the greatest MMORPG of all time, where players choose one of two factions and compete for either lulz or anti-lulz respectively. This of course divides into many smaller classes and such, each with their own culture, ideas, and often language. In fact, the internets is basically an electronic version of Earth–who woulda thunk it?”

A simple game 

Church Painter  “Why should one always make people happy? It might be a good idea to scare them once in a while.”

Mitt Romney

“ Johnny always alters his given name and refers to himself in the third person — for example, “J-Dog don’t play that” or “J-Dog wants to know wusssaappp.” It comforts me to know that my parlance has such broad appeal.”

“5 under 35″ in Literature

Written by: on Dec 20 | Book Alert, News | No Comments »

The National Book Foundation recognizes young writers each year who they believe whose work shows promise and excellence with their 5 under 35 List. And since we respect any organization who are making attempts to honor young and diverse writers we had to mention the honorees before 2008 rolled in. The awards ceremony was in November. Yes, I know we are late. But hey, at least we made it by Dec. 31.
