I apparently write like this guy:
Chuck Palahniuk

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

2:21 PM, July 13, 2010
Whitney said...

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

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

Most Teej posts are written by this esteemed gentleman:

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.

Dave said...

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

2:43 PM, July 13, 2010

Clarence said...

Teejay writes like Jack Torrance.

2:48 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

2:48 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

and greasetruck writes like douglas adams.

i'm going to grab a douglas adams' excerpt and see if douglas adams writes like douglas adams.

2:49 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

holy shit! i did two excerpts and douglas adams writes like douglas adams! i'm going to try someone else.

2:50 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

2:51 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

stephen king writes like stephen king. weird.

2:51 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

2:53 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

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.

2:55 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

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 . . .

2:56 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

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

2:57 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

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

2:57 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

thomas pynchon writes like arthur conan doyle.

2:59 PM, July 13, 2010

Clarence said...

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.

In communist Russia book writes you.

3:04 PM, July 13, 2010

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

3:05 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

3:06 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

Kurt Vonnegut writes like Thornton Mellon.

4:22 PM, July 13, 2010
T.J. said...

Your son plays for Gary Williams?

4:29 PM, July 13, 2010
mayhugh said...

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.

Tractor accident?

4:34 PM, July 13, 2010
d-train said...

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

4:34 PM, July 13, 2010
T.J. said...

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

4:35 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

4:37 PM, July 13, 2010
d-train said...

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

4:58 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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."

d-train said...

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?!

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

Shlara said...

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

6:52 PM, July 13, 2010
Clarence said...

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

7:35 PM, July 13, 2010
Dave said...

this has been addressed in the performance review.

7:59 PM, July 13, 2010
rob said...

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.

7:59 PM, July 13, 2010
Mark said...

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...

8:19 PM, July 13, 2010
T.J. said...

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.

8:50 PM, July 13, 2010
Mark said...

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

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

9:06 PM, July 13, 2010
Mark said...

Or James Joyce.

9:08 PM, July 13, 2010

ichiro looking like he's partaken

josh johnson, on the other hand

Marls said...

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.

9:51 PM, July 13, 2010
rob said...

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

10:01 PM, July 13, 2010
Marls said...

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

10:04 PM, July 13, 2010
rob said...

kuo no!

10:05 PM, July 13, 2010
rob said...

yeah, sorry.

10:06 PM, July 13, 2010
Marls said...

Kuo vadis asshole?

10:11 PM, July 13, 2010
T.J. said...

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

10:51 PM, July 13, 2010
Shlara said...

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

Huh?

10:55 PM, July 13, 2010
T.J. said...

Better than Dee Brown, Jim Joyce and Larry King.
