So the driveway now has both a “his” and a “hers” Porsche I suppose; about an hour ago the black one was delivered by flatbed. I recently saw a GT1 body kit for it that I have to admit is kind of tempting, but realistically I'll drive it for six months and then cash it back in (making it a freebie).
Anyway, the new toy which will (legally) be on the road on Monday:
I was prepping a much larger news update for this morning (I'm missing doing them, but it's hard to find the time lately!)… But I've got to quickly zip into town before noon so here is just a quick list of the stories I felt most relevant.
Just got back from the post office mailing out a pile of stickers to various people who've helped out IAM in cool ways… and waiting for me at the post office was my arsTechnica shirt. I so wish I'd been clever enough to come up with their slogan!
On the way out of town I stopped at the gas station; I was going to park at the far end, so I hit the parking lot at 50 or 60… And then saw the big mahole cover sticking up in front of me, which could easily have torn the front spoiler off the car. To avoid it I put the Porsche into a skid and slid sideways into an alternate parking spot, and luckily landed perfectly with a lot of show and no damage.
Parked across from me was a gorgeous silver M3… One of the nicest cars I've seen in Tweed I think. It's occupants were of course staring at my, for many reasons I'm sure. Now, I apologize if the next part of the story sounds off, but not living in the big city any more, I don't really see black people — or minorities of any kind — that often. It was awesome!
Seriously, these guys had the rap video look down to a tee — $100k+ car, nice jewelry, designer street clothes, and perfect bodies… Living out here and seeing mostly hicks and out of shape slags you forget how damn good looking people can be, and I really think that on a physical level, people of African descent are blessed with amazing looks. These were honestly the most attractive guys I've seen in some time (I think Rachel was rather disturbed when I told her my amorous story!).
I'm sure that must seem like an absolutely foolish statement, but if you lived in Tweed you'd be excited when you got to see people you don't see every day as well!
 asked me to print out all of the experiences written about him for his scrapbook… I wonder if he'll be prepared for the giant stack of “Blair is the nicest person I've ever met in my entire life” type stories? |
Well, today I have to (among many other things) get another article written; today I'm going to try and tackle “Why BME won't publish piercing gun stories” without getting myself sued (basically it means being very careful that everything I say can be backed up scientifically through actual studies rather than just common sense).
If I'm lucky the car arrives here today as well; if not today, tomorrow. Which reminds me, I have to go draw a map for the flatbed company to be sure they can find this place. Oh, and I already have a guaranteed buyback on the car, even if I crash it!
Let's see… How about some feedback from people with rejected experiences. This one is from a person who just submitted song lyrics instead of an experience:
tell them to fuck off.....and a 800 word requirement is crap. Bye
Or this one, it's from someone who didn't bother to spell check, and the grammar was unreadable:
Id aprechiate it if you didnt speak to me like im dyslexic, on about my grammer because i am dyslexic and i tried but no one said that. Bme is about piercing and i put it in the right place i dont rrally want to visit your site again because i fell very put down and BME isnt all its cracked up to be!
Those aren't really that exciting though… This next one is a true gem. I don't think Franko could even come up with a response this brilliant:
I am amazed at the comments to my submission. I thought BME was different, Obviously not!!!! Your readers are too fuckin soft. If your editors are going to be driven by your obviously non-educated readers or members then they are equally soft. That article is right on and explains the actual experience which took a turn for the worse yet was corrected for a great outcome. The article flows well and uses words which give attitude and style to the dialogue. Isn't that what this site wants, a little attitude and style or would your weak stick panel of first readers just rather sit around jerking off to BME in their miserable non-educated minds while they try to take out their own fucking insecurities by being grammar and creative writing TEACHERS!!!!! Fuck-off, if I wanted some soft ass fucking piece of shit to "GRADE" my paper, I would go back to grammar school.
As creative criticism to BME, I forwarded your e-mail and reader opinions to over sixty-five sources who frequent BME as a website. My responses were pretty much the same " I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! The I told you so was because they originally told me not to waste my time because "BME is becoming too politically soft and they are only getting softer"
YEH!!!!! they were right..... and being one to be proud to have the right to be educated combined with the right to say what ever I FUCKING WANT......THIS IS WHAT I SAY... (AND IT IS IN CAPS FOR YOUR PUSSY READER WHO HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO)
IT IS AMAZING DAILY THE NUMBER OF MINISCULE MINDS I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN PUBLIC SOCIETY, BUT TO FIND THAT BME IS ONE OF THOSE MINISCULE MINDS IS JUST A FUCKING JOKE. THAT IS RIGHT I FEEL BME IS A FUCKING LIMP DICK JOKE. I WAS A SUPPORTER OF YOUR WEBSITE AND COMMUNITY UNTIL YOU SENT THAT WEAK FUCKING E-MAIL. SO FUCK YOU... FUCK BME!!!!! ... AND FUCK EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR BECAUSE YOU ARE LIMP AND WEAK. MAYBE YOU SHOULD FUCKIN SLOW DOWN ON THE PIERCINGS AND GET A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION YOU STUPID NON-EDUCATED FUCKS.YOU ARE NOT EVEN WORTH MY TIME....
LOOK IN THE MIRROR..... YOU WILL SEE YOUR WEAKNESS!!!!!
Well there you have it! Apparently caring about quality now gets your branded as a commie or something like that. Of all the things to accuse BME of, I think being uneducated and politically soft is one of the most comical.
Anyway, if you didn't already notice, an experience update was posted yesterday. Also, I do always need your help reviewing experiences. You can go to the help IAM page and then click on review experiences to give it a go.
Thanks!
