Comment from pome lover
that is just too wunnerful! You're right - giving six stars seems to be the thing to do, here - 'course I love gettin' em. I am new, though, and wasn't aware of the "code" and gave this girl a one. Her picture showed her holding this precious child and her story was about a kid who cut off dolls heads and replaced them with the bloody heads of animals. I asked if she enjoyed reading it to her little girl. She said "it was what it was", and I must not like Stephen King. Don't give ones anymore.
I haven't read many members' posts, but so far yours and Mark Valentine's posts on marriage are the best in the humor dept. IMHO.
Good job!

You're pretty wunnerful yerself! I can c u r...you are off to a good start an astute critical person because its very obvious you really love my stuff! Glad you survifed the 1 star debacle! People have died on here for giving only a two because we Fanstorians are a proud buncha writers and we don't take critique to good. Well I hope you do well here. You are off to a good start ridding good work lik mine! :) Dennis BTW, to save you embarrassment, it's pume lover.
-
well, I'm wracking the old brain tryin' to figger out "pume". sho don wanta be embarrased. Is that your version of poem? am sure you are pulling my leg.
pome (as opposed to pume) lover

True confessions; when you labeled yourself "Pome Lover", I thought you were being humorous and purposely misspelling "poem lover" to go with my piece you were reviewing. Duh! I forgot your FanStory moniker is usually permanent. I responded with the lame "pume" to keep the joke going.
So had to look up "pome" :pome
(pōm)
n.
A fleshy fruit, such as an apple, pear, or quince, having several seed chambers and an outer fleshy part largely derived from the hypanthium.
Thank you for being part of my on going education. :) Sorry for causing you to "wrack your brain" but you could've wrecked it which I can promise you, is far more devastating. :)

I'm new to FS and appreciate help I can get from a (probably) esteemed "advise communist". p.s. I'm partial to any piece that contains that word "whammo".

Whew"! I just read your profile thingee about woo and phew and whew" and I'm winded. Your picture shows that you are far to young to be wandering around FS alone and writing to advise communists such as myself. However, I will make an example ... er.. exception in your case. You may ask me anything, I know where all the bodies are buried and who dunumin! Welcome to FS, believe it or not, I'm one of the sane ones. :) Dennis (Whadda Ya mean "probably"?
-
Thanks for the reply, Dennis...I will probably be leaning on your for information. The picture was from a couple of years ago, but meant to illustrate that I found a haircut that works for me when I was four so I just kept going with it. I look a lot older, but have the same hair.

My profile picture was taken when I was four which was quite few years ago. I still have the same haircut though so figure that I still look the same.

Stumbling around wanting to read posts by some FS authors that I haven't read, I ventured into best-ever humor. And I have to say that I'm glad I did. Thanks for the pleasure of reading your hilarious post. Great job. :-)

"In my older years I have come to believe writing provides me with a level of personal satisfaction that I can only express in words." Quote from a person with an attitude that is going to lead to being recognized as "all Time Best". God bless, Dennis

Comment from padumachitta
Thanks. I needed that. I just had the comma police come. I hate commas. There is a whole school of thought out there that says comma, should fall,endlessly, like rain over Seattle. I almost gave up. Almost. But, I said I would try this forum out for 6 months.
Thanks for the lightness, it also makes me look at my ego and my attitude towards being criticized rather that critiqued.

My suggestion is write what you enjoy. You will find those who like what you like. In reality, there are probably only a handful of people on here who really qualify to critique other's writings. I do believe that just turning up the volume of how much we write will increase our proficiency. Glad you likes my piece.

Comment from rama devi
Hee hee hee Hilarious! Enjoyed the witty satire...quite refreshing and brilliantly sharp. I am not going misspell back atchya (except for this word!) atchya!
Too many chuckles to note them all, but I found these word-ply 'punnies' particularly unique and clever:
expertease
spiller
rumbling
and the double punctuation here:
again and again, know what I mean?.
again again...LOL!
grammar-gramma
madder
advise communist! LOL
Warm smiles (from the heart),

A good reviewer's nightmare, eh? :) Glad you enjoyed it, nevertheless. :) Dennis

Not really--since it is satirical--tongue in cheek...I felt it actually supports good reviewers, indirectly. :)

It seems my misspelling is catching. Many reviewers were affected and some were better at being bad spillers than me, you included. Please enjoy your dubris oner! Thanks for reviewing, Dennis
