  3. I apparently write like this guy:
    Chuck Palahniuk

    After looking up who he is I can safely say this website is full of shit.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Palahniuk wrote Fight Club. I can see that from you, Teej.

    And Dave's last post was written like Nabokov. Nice.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Most Teej posts are written by this esteemed gentleman:

  6. A post of mine from last year was supposedly written like James Joyce's works. I always found Joyce dreadfully boring. Eerily accurate, this site.

  7. dammit-- i pasted in my graduation speech, hoping it would say vonnegut or hemingway or somebody cool . . . but apparently i write like margaret atwood.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  9. i put in "dear ozzy." random idiots writes like raymond chandler, which was always a favorite of mine . . .

    ReplyDelete
  10. Teejay writes like Jack Torrance.

    ReplyDelete
  11. And Dave, your sentence of the day today was like Vonnegut. Too bad it was about Fitzgerald, even quoting a passage. Stupid site.

    ReplyDelete
  12. and greasetruck writes like douglas adams.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  14. No kidding -- John 3:16 was apparently written in the style of Bram Stoker. Some web developer is fucking going to Hell.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Gettysburg Address? H.P. Lovecraft. This is amusing me.

    ReplyDelete
  17. i just grabbed thirty of my sentences and apparently i DO write like kurt vonnegut! except when i write for gheorghe . . . then i'm a much more sensitive "margaret atwood."

    i wish they had a site where you put your picture in and it told you who you look like. last year at obft i was burt reynolds.

    ReplyDelete
  18. i can't believe they have h.p. lovecraft on there. i sent my kids to art camp today and i need a haircut desperately and this is how i'm spending my precious free time . . .

    ReplyDelete
  19. JFK's "Ask Not" speech? Dan Brown. Nice.

    Lou Gehrig's farewell speech? Stephen King. This is retarded.

    ReplyDelete
  20. herman melville writes like h.p. lovecraft. that's some sort of an insult, i think.

    ReplyDelete
  21. thomas pynchon writes like arthur conan doyle.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  24. Haircut? Don't you just shave your head in the summer? Oh, right, you're cultivating that Burt Reynolds look. Forgot about that.

    You looked more like Super Mario.

  25. In communist Russia book writes you.

    ReplyDelete
  26. It says the lyrics of Rush are like Alfred, Lord Tennyson. And that they are taught to schoolchildren in England.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Teej, did you just lay some Yakov Smirnov on us? Fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Kurt Vonnegut writes like Thornton Mellon.

    ReplyDelete

  32. Have I mentioned before how in the bag I am for Michelle Beadle? Cause I am.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Your son plays for Gary Williams?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I posted a demand letter (redacted of course) and I got some H.P. Lovecraft love as well. I thought it was more like T.S. Elliot.

    And Sentence of Dave is straight Melville.

    Michelle Beadle is awesome. She likes sports and she's easy on the eyes. There's got to be something really wrong with her somewhere.

  35. i'm kind of a cowherd guy myself...

  36. D-train, seriously, keep this up and I'm going to have to change the locks.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Maybe it's Lecky posing as D-Train? D-Train's never been this bad before. It's like Brien Taylor.

    ReplyDelete
  38. lecky...posing as d-train? i think not.
    Raymond Chandler

  39. Got curious as to whatever happened to Brien Taylor. It's not a Hollywood ending:

    "After retiring, Taylor moved to Raleigh and worked as a UPS package handler and later a beer distributor. He had a brush with the law in January 2005, in Wake Forest where police charged Taylor with misdemeanor child abuse for allegedly leaving four of his children (ages from 2 to 11) alone for more than eight hours. He didn't show up for his court date and at one point there were four outstanding warrants for his arrest. By 2006 he had moved back home and was working as a bricklayer with his father. According to financial records filed in a child support application, he makes $909 per month. He is the father of five daughters. Taylor still lives with his parents, at the end of a street named after him, in a two-story brick and frame house that he built using his signing bonus."

  40. thanks for the update on brien taylor. my wife & i were talking about him just the other day. as if.
    about 3 yrs ago i was in augusta jo-jah. i was having a cold & tasty beverage at one of the town's finer establishments - hooter's. at the bar was none other than "the fridge", also having a co-co one after a day of laying bricks. he seemed pretty content i have to say. although if you can't be content at hooter's, where can ya be? hmmm? hmmm? danny?!

  41. And I'd like Fox to throw out an "All Steinbrenner Episodes" Seinfeld Marathon.

    ReplyDelete
  42. My sister will be at this show.
    She looks like me with blonde hair.

    ReplyDelete
  43. You know we have utterly commandeered the comments when I read this and say, "What the fuck show is Shlara talking about??"

    ReplyDelete
  44. this has been addressed in the performance review.

    ReplyDelete
  45. late to the party because i was traveling all day. i plugged in three separate samples and got dan brown each time. this is encouraging from a commercial perspective, but somewhat less so from a literary one. fucking large hadron collider.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I've been slammed with work this week. i feel like I've missed out on a week's worth of discussion here and it's only been two days.

    I don't quite get the seemingly universal love for Michelle Beadle. I mean, she seems cool and I'd have a beer with her but she doesn't do it for me (physically) at all. Now, Linda Cohn...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Shlara, your sister better not be the blonde in front of us playing tonsil hockey.

    Opening act was OK...they were called Harlem or something. Let's put it this was - Harlem Nights was better.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Picturing TJ at this show is thoroughly enjoyable to me. Fish, sans water.

    Oh, and I write like Stephen King. Bullshit, I say.

    ReplyDelete
  49. ichiro looking like he's partaken

    ReplyDelete
  50. josh johnson, on the other hand

    ReplyDelete
  51. The level of shitsuckitude of this fox broadcast is so fucking high. McCarver is a douchie blowhard, but my god it is nothing compared to Buck. It is all sappy cliches and easy fluff. What makes it worse it that this fuck will be calling 50% of the big games between now and groundhog day.

    ReplyDelete
  52. that comment: stephen king. i think it was the compound expletive.

    ReplyDelete
  53. It appears that rob and I both have commercial success in our future.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dennis and I will be kidnaping this lead singer chick of Dead Weather...wowser. Forget Beadle.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Depending on what I submit, I write like: Dan Brown, James Joyce and Stephen King.

    Huh?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Better than Dee Brown, Jim Joyce and Larry King.
