It's just too nice outside.
Today, like yesterday the sun is shining, and once again it's SIXTY DEGREES.
Therefore, Misplaced In The Midwest will not appear today as Misplaced has decided to take the dogs for a walk around Lake Harriet.
Enjoy this instead:

Well... still not a peep from the indignant soccer mom or her attorneys... I'm beginning to think that maybe Lynn doesn't want to play with us as it seems that she's taken her ball and gone home.
Oh well. Maybe she'll change her mind and continue to entertain us later this week.

See you tomorrow.
Thank you for at last attributing my work to me. I suppose I could point out that:
ReplyDelete1. I don’t actually care if some random asshole in Duluth thinks I’m hot… and by the way, you’re definitely not winning any beauty contests, which is probably why you’re single (well, that and your general attitude);
2. For all the smack you’ve blogged about me, all I’ve done is civilly ask for attribution, then defend myself against your plagiarism (which makes me a cunt? Well, OK, if standing up for myself makes me a cunt, then I’ll take it as a compliment).
3. I guess you’re neither as smart or knowledgeable as you think you are, are you? If you have to steal people’s writing, then rely on faulty legal knowledge to back up the theft, then resort to unwarranted personal attacks when you lose… well, you’re not exactly a mental giant, are you?
Seems to me the rest of your blog post (if it’s actually original and not also stolen) could have stood on its own without my Top Ten, but if my writing makes it that much better, then you’re welcome. ☺
One final thought: Personal attacks: “The language of nonthought.” — Lionel Trilling. (see, that’s an attribution!)
@ Lynn:
ReplyDeleteWow!
You obviously don't have much of a life, do you? I have to say that I've read "Bloggapalooza", and I can say with a fair degree of certainty that quite a bit of what YOU post is borrowed HEAVILY from other sources.
