Dear Nabooko,
So you mismatched the names of a couple of “inspirational authors” and their self-help tomes? Big deal. I can never keep those celebrity types straight.
I guess you caught some flak – don’t we all just love to pounce on someone else’s errors, reveling in the fact that it wasn’t us with egg on our face this time? Like when someone who should know better claimed that Tchaikovsky wrote “Peter & the Wolf” (nope, it was Prokofiev), or when I swore up and down that Nick Cage starred in “You
Kill Me” (it was Ben Kingsley – yeah well, they look a lot alike…!!?). Or the time I started expounding on the history Iraq, went completely off the rails, and ended up talking about our “friend,” the Shah – now THAT was some major yolk! Heck, wasn’t it you who posted a tongue-in-cheek question about how to rid your house of “aunts” and everybody got the joke but me?
Open your mouth, and once and a while your foot is bound to land in it. That’s the risk you take. Keep mum and we all lose out… on the roses, the stained glass, Kermit the soap, the sphinx moth, the yellow tabby cat, the bittersweet reminiscences, the day-to-day victories and the heart rending losses…. I know which way my vote will be cast. I say, suck it up and keep posting, Nabooko! That goes for everyone else as well.
And as for you, “I. Lingam”! Seriously. Are YOU for real? How do we know you’re not just a “Dick”? Tend your own weidy (sic) garden and clean up your own tacky (sic) drivel! And be nice, or Gene will send you to the dark side!
Cheers – Jackie
