Well Laura could you not think of Anything
clever, insightful, informative, stylish maybe
even inspirational with which to open?
Do you Have No insight or style to express?
This is the Don Imus school of writing --What?
--No racist or sexist slur? Just disgusting
pus? You could have raised your skirt with
a dirty little dirty sex anecdote, but
I think you know that you have a lot of 'stiff'
competition there.
What sickens me more than your choice of 'opener'
is that writers think that this is a valid
tactic to shake the reader into attention.
It is a cheap quick trick which is used in
place of an intelligent even brilliant
observation. Why not start with Fuck You
or something similar to avoid the pus,
the feces, and vomit, to get the attention
you want?
