I love the idea of a professional referring to himself as a "super professional". I went ahead and approved the comment, it isn't spam and maybe I'll get some snarky comments because it it.

Heh. I might go and be snarky. That's something I'm "super professional" at.

Well, here's the link to the page if you want to see the fun. The first derisive comment has arrived.

The first derisive comment has arrived.

And it's freakin' BRILLIANT! Ha!

Oh crap.

I think I'm on the verge of completely rethinking the last third of the manuscript.

Oy vey.

Whatever you decide, Barb, may it go well.

Well, didn't need saying twice.

Well, didn't need saying twice.

Yes. Yes it did.

I'm sitting here pulling my hair and with some added wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And a good GAH for added emphasis.

“Bob Dylan was detained by police in Long Branch, N.J. last month, when a young officer failed to recognize him, police said. The officer proceeded to go to earnest lengths to ensure the hooded, disheveled, rain-soaked music legend was, in fact, who he said he was.”

Guilty of Not Being Bob Dylan

Raggedy Man wanders where the rich folk thrive,
Arrested for dressing down too far from slums and dives
Cop says “you don't look like no celebrity to me”
“It ain't legal being poor in the land of the free.”

Stopped on the street for breathing while black.
Charge: resisting arrest cause he talked back.
Judge says: “No cop would ever say a thing he did not see”.
“This a good clean bust here in the land of the free.”

White thug goes bashing Indians on the Rez.
Jurisdictional tangles keep him free and fresh.
And cops say “the vics don't look like celebrities to me”.
“Got more important crimes to solve in the land of the free”.

Cart by her side, she sleeps in the street.
All her stuff gets trashed by the cop on the beat.
Cop says “you don't look like no celebrity to me”.
“It ain't legal being poor in the land of the free.”

Good luck Barb, a super professional like you will do the right thing.
