Low-hanging fruit is the sweetest fruit

Okay, apparently I'm not done.

I've refrained from commenting on Fifty Shades of Grey because a) I have no ground to stand on, having flipped fic for profit; b) I haven't read it or any of the Twilight books and don't care to; and c) who gives a shit what I think anyway?  But this article is hilarious.  If I have ever made one of my characters actually say "Argh," I wholeheartedly apologize (even though I actually say "argh" all the time in real life)(but, uh, not under the circumstances detailed in the book).

I stole that link off somebody's Twitter, and now I can't be arsed to go back and determine whose.  If you'd like credit, sorry about that.  Ganked from leopardchic79.  All crinkling of fallopian tubes should be directed at her.

Also, Bill Corbett of MST3K fame wrote in his Tumblr "I think our Rifftrax for Titanic desecrates the movie more thoroughly, but the video above is much more efficient and ruthless."  And I will never let an opportunity to desecrate that movie slip by, because I am a heartless bitch who will never understand why Kate couldn't maybe have scooted over and made room on the damned door for Leo?  Uh, spoiler alert?

I KNOW I AM NEITHER AS FUNNY NOR SPARKLY AND TRANSGRESSIVE AS I THINK I AM.  I am, however, up past my bedtime.  Naughty me.

I clicked on the Fifty Shades article & was like, oh hey, I read this...wait I think I posted it on Twitter! Apparently I have no working memory. *shrug*

Can you please point me towards the site where I can buy your eBook? I had it saved & seemed to have lost it (along w/ said memory). :)

Oh, yes, you totally did. Sometimes I forget who's who when people's LJ and Twitter names don't match up.

You can buy Office Hours here (http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2810). We appreciate your patronage! ;o)

Also, if you spray Mountain Dew in your vagina after sex you won't get pregnant.

I won't lie, I was dreading this being my twitter-voted book club pick because I read some of it and it's just so bad, but now I have to read it just to make sure THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS. But I have to get drunk first. It's a good thing I got paid today!

I don't think there's enough booze in the world to get me through that book. Some other article I read suggested a drinking game every time the girl says "Holy crap!" or "Jeez!" or there's a completely implausible sex scene or the writing is just so awful it hurts. I would not advise both pregaming AND the drinking game, though -- it seems likely to make your liver explode.

Thank you, I have been avoiding nearly all mention of this book, but that article was fabulous.
I don't think any of your characters say "argh", I think it's more "nrgh" :-P

p.s. i bought your e-book and read all your stuff, i'm just a smart ass

Hee hee, there's a whole world of difference between "arrrrgh" an a good "nnnnnngh." At least in my opinion. ;o)

Oh god that article is hilarious! Haha, remind me to never use the word, "argh" as well when writing~! Also it is worrying her whole idea for having Jacob/Jose become a Latin man for her book, oh lord. Also I give a shit what you think~!! <3

"Argh" should be reserved exclusively for pirates. And possibly pirate-related sex (for humorous purposes only).
