I think this could be the NaNoWriMo antidote. It also ranks up there with a text I got recently from an aspiring screenwriter who wanted to know if I would provide "analsyis" because his script was about to be read by "Steven Spealberg." ;)
I laughed my head off at this one, too! I think we've all met this guy at cocktail parties! And not to be sexist, but it always seems to be a guy, the kind of guy who was, let's just say, never sent to the counselor to deal with self esteem issues in school.

I loved the comment:"I have a gun in my car..." :) Even my husband laughed at this!
I loved "it's science fiction crossed with chic lit crossed with literary fiction." Was on the FLOOR with that one! And I probably shouldn't laugh, considering my own cross-genre hybrid, but that combination just sounds like the most hilariously clueless mix EVER!!! (Why not throw in some noir? And zombies?)
And I have met a couple of females who are this clueless as well, so it's NOT specifically a gender thing--although the attitude seems to be.
Oh, and if you don't want to be around this guy, definitely DON'T go to grad school. I'm just sayin' . . .

Hilarious on so many levels! This aspiring author is also a fixture of every RPG group writing his J.R.R Rowling pastiche.
