Damn you, Snacky, you beat me to it. Now I feel like I did when those mean girls didn't elect me Homecoming Queen at the prom ...
See how I am?
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Snacky, I can't BREATHE, that was so funny.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, that's incredibly funny, and so dead-on. I started wincing here:
I'm the one with the liberal-arts degree from a good private school, who opens her stories with passages from Yeats and writes about the drag-queen personae of vampires forced to pass as people.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I started wincing here:
Umm, yeah, pretty much guilty as charged here.

Dear Nestra,
My name is Mercedes and I work for Xlibris, a print-on-demand self-publishing company. If you don't mind, I wanted to take a moment to let you know how we can help you become a publishing success.
My thought process:
"April Fool's Day? Legitimate but clueless? Scam? Scam."

Oh! Dana, I just saw this on someone's LJ the other day. (Ajhalluk's, actually.) I think the determination was that it wasn't quite a scam. But... not promising, in any event.

Not quite a scam in the sense that it's legal, but still way on the eyebrow-raising side.

Oh, my God, I loved that teevee.org piece. You have to read the whole site -- it's almost all that good, especially if you're a regular Salon reader.
