Advantages: Somewhat Revealing (I still have my boxers on), A Non-Music Entry , Creative Spin On the List
Disadvantages: My Sense of Humor, Making an A-Z List To Make A Point, More Information Than You Needed To Know
We are being flooded with archived A-Z lists on dooyoo. It's time to fight back...with a roast! A roast is making cutting jokes toward somebody (or in this case a group of people) in good fun and without the intent to hurt. I like many of the A-Z lists, but feel that this category and similar writings warrant some 'action'. This A-Z list is not just a roast, it spoofs, makes observations and may be infrequently personal. The Mico List is a more of an honest reflection of me and my thought process than any A-Z straight journal list that I could otherwise provide. On to the list... A is for arsehole because that may be what many fellow reviewers may refer to me as for criticizing their contributions. Arsehole is much more fun for me than a**hole because it is not really cursing in America. Is it really considered a curse word in England? B is for boner, which happens when I review others work and I cannot correct typos or append to comments. This also applies when my keyboard suspiciously rises and it automatically terrorizes my formatting (sorry for the crude humor, it won't be applied too thickly). C is for crushed. Often times, I am crushed when I extend an original effort on a review to read well-written, but extended profile statements following the letters of the alphabet and tossed into archive. What is this? Isn't this a review site? How do you review a journal writing outside of its technical and descriptive merit without having any insight into the writer's accuracy. I believe that many of these writers are more neurotic than what they are letting on. D is for ducks. Why? I just like them *quack quack* . Maybe, it's because I have no guilt complex with this bird. I do not like dark meat and duck is full of that foul (no pun intended) and greasy meat. Yuck! E is for enormous. Outside of the obvious (haha), my ego is also rather high also. Enormous applie
s to the average talent level of people on dooyoo who tend to write reviews that are original (except me of course). F is for funk. A creative funk is what you are in if you need to submit an A-Z list and pass it as a review. Adammico, it's an archive, don't you get it? No. I may understand the context in most cases, but it is not a review; IT'S A JOURNAL!!!! G is for gremlins. These A-Z entries are multiplying like gremlins from the back of Gizmo when water is applied. H is for herpes. A big canker sore on my lip may be more tolerable than another serious journal entry on dooyoo. I is for ignorant, which I may be for not understanding the point of an archive section on dooyoo. Is dooyou attempting to become the amateur writing one stop shop for all typed writing on the net? I am so confused. Does dooyoo=Wal Mart? J is for joy. I am extremely happy for making my own A-Z list. It's such a relief and a breath of fresh air. Awww...but it's a spoof/roast of the actual list, so I guess that I do not get the full effect. Please relate to me whether making an honest to goodness A-Z list is as good as coitus or does it come in a very close second? For those who do not participate in coitus, can substitute it with ice cream. If you are lactose intolerant, then a vacation day. Everyone likes the idea of a vacation. K is for Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo is just fun to say out loud. It's much like mango, Yao Ming and belch in that repeating of those words are a guilty pleasure and develop into an uncontrollable urge (or is what just me?). L is for laughter. Read your 'journals' and laugh at yourselves; I did. :D M is for money. Regardless of how many points earned for this piece (likely not many), the cash received will still allow me to easily close my wallet. N is for nuisance. Many may feel that this piece may work as a nuisance because it's
an i ncredibly dull read and makes you more even more angry than the weak content. O is for ozone. There's a hole in it. Does anyone care anymore? You guys always need to talk about yourselves. Those bloody whales and lepers could all go to hell as well, right??? (inserts laugh track) P is for patience (lack of). I realize that if I wait a week or two, this fad would be over. Unfortunately, one of my very few weaknesses is impatience. Q is for Queen. I never understood why the British continue to support (financially and morally) a tradition that serves little more than a symbolic purpose due to bloodlines. R is for the Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) Game. With RPS, I never understood why paper beats rock. Rock can penetrate any paper that I had the chance to work with. I assume that this must be some pretty amazing paper, but that theory is shattered because it can be cut. Are you to assume that the rock has no power of its own? It shatters scissors, but this rock proof paper can envelope it. Argh! Analyzing this game has made my brain melt. On another note, there is actually a World RPS Society. Do you still not believe me, then check out this site, http://www.worldrps.com (it's not porn). S is for soul. Thank you for exposing it. I mean it. No, not really, but I had to make up for the queen snap. T is for trouble. Trouble may be my status in the community after this roast. Eminem may rap about relating to what people are thinking, but he does not need to directly relate to the community he's berating on. He's really rich and has lawyers, security, personal assistants and entourage to deal with that and stuff. U is for Utopia. For those who wish there to be for that type of society wishes for ignorance. The only way for there to be such a community is if the residents are so stupid or near-sighted to see faults and/or anticipated problems in any environment. Utopia
nites, get over it; there will always be something wrong (at least if I am invited). V is for vulva. I sincerely believe that this is the most disturbing word in the English language. I do not fear vulvas, but the sound of the word resists me like Barbara Bush in a thong (sorry for that visual). W is for wanker. I am an American wanker. No, it's my pleasure to meet you. X is for xenophile. My natural attraction is for foreigners and foreign places. My wife is from Thailand (and no, she is not the 'mail order' variety). I'm usually quickly bored by my own kind. In my demented mind, everything is better if it is removed from the front of my nose. To remedy this, I tend to look for the uniqueness in everyone living in a society of sheep. (It's not part of the roast, but much more worthy than xxxx.) Y is for yolk. Yolk is the best part of an egg and is delicious hard and crusted with salt and pepper. Z is for zoo. Zoo is for what may happen to my comment thread after this is posted. I am certainly looking forward to having two raters and forty comments (assuming that everyone reads the entire piece, ha!). If you made it through from A-Z without skipping from D-X, thank you. Hopefully, you got the laugh and learned that I was more than an egotistical impatient arsehole. In order for me semi-accurately reveal my personality, it's necessary for me to react to an environment. Since you could not see my body language, I'll reveal that I was chuckling while writing. There was no intent to be mean or appear angry, so please keep that in mind and please reread the passage if you felt differently. Thanks again for your time.

- 27/04/03 I liked your op! It made me smile and I bet you had fun writing it! For me, I love to write and find that here is somewhere I can do it. The reason I went for the A-Z was so I could get back into the swing of things! Not only that but it wa quite quick to do and made me think a lot! I look forward to more from you! |

- 26/04/03 Erm... don't fight on my account all, ok? I'll let you into a secret - looking at what ratings I've received takes an extra click on a site that's slow enough already. I don't have the faintest clue what Adam rated me. Was it an evil NU? Should I rush to commit seppuku? (Adam - I'd need a second for that).
Aww. Lyla. Chill. Adam. Loosen the strings of YOUR corset, or I'll start calling you MrCorsetStrings.
PS: I got completely BLOCKED by the censoring members at epinions for slating their moany ways in my one and only review. Hurrah for me! |

- 26/04/03 I did not know who Jill was when I rated her review, but it was an honest critique. Regardless, she would likely appreciate an honest review of her work rather than me providing a bogus review based on her status.
Anyway, if you do not wish for my honest and well-informed input, I will be happy of rating without comment. Some of your OP's (about 1/2) I rated with the highest possible rating.
Also, I am not pro-American, pro-Brit or anything. I'm an individual that happens to live in the U.S.
I chose doyoo because in my most humble observation, the overall consistency of writing is better than epinions. |
