Twain.
Dickens.
Swift.
Dumas.

A list of witless hacks to which I can add the name zhent. I suspect that a lack of talent must be a harbinger of prosperity and relevance. If the populist, pulp drivel of Bill Shakespeare is still worth noting five centuries later, then why not the mindless pap of rank amateurs in an internet writing contest? As

Uh, ...uhhhh,... holy shit.

I just want to make it clear that dont_be_second is NOT me. Although s/he is clearly an absolutely expert troll.

Which is why I'm not going to be bothered that DBS "left off" Proust from his/her establishing-shot list of famed literary "hacks," because Proust was an actual hack.

Fuckin' Proust.

Confusing your pathetic attempts at criticism with mine would denote feeble-mindedness of a severity I've yet to encounter.

I'd give you slowclappingguy.gif for that, but I'm busy masturbating right now.

Well that was funny.

I have no idea if you 2 are the same.

But 1st was funnier. 2nd seemed more obsessed with hearing their own voice and pretending it's more intelligent or insightful than the actual post it forget to insult. This is more like reading that fat hack Maddox rant about how he was let down by the latest movie adapted from a comic book.

Interesting to see the mock-elevated tone you're using. I don't quite get where zhent fits in the continuum of the authors you name at the top--did Dumas do social commentary? That's the one that threw me off.

I've never really gotten the Woody Allen lovefest, either!

My good woman! I'll have you know that I am incapable of mockery. I had that gland removed as a child.

[witchwife]

I'd hope that zhent is an alternate account of yours.

[dont_be_second]

For the love of God, why would you hope that for me?

[tigrkittn]

I believe this is the "alt", since zhent is a real person. Well, his wish not to be second came true! ;)
