Astounding things

[misscam]

Well, the good thing about having a gazillion people asking my opinion of them is that I actually went back to read some old LJ entries and were highly amused. Plus it did remind me that I have many, many different people on my LJ. And some of you even like Bush and still hang out here. It's astounding.

Speaking of astounding - gaze upon the review I just got in my inbox.

The following review has been submitted to: Once More Into the Urple Depths of
OFUM Chapter: 38

From: .o0 chibi 0o.()

konnichiwa! you should rite a sequal! taht is so KEWL!! U GOTTA FINISH DIS!
LEGOLAS IS MINE --.o0 chibi 0o.

The smeg, says Miss Cam. Is one of you pulling my leg here? That review is too awful to be true.

And yes, I am better, thanks for asking. Colds luckily pass relatively fast. I am still coughing, but my head doesn't hurt every time I cough now. I think I will live.

And here's an astounding Bushism - in a speech on cracking down on frivolous medical lawsuits, Mr Bush said:

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

*eyes sentence* Yes, that's what is wrong with the world. Not enough love with OB-GYNs. Let's remedy that and have one lovingly today!

That review makes my closeted English major weep.

As for Dubya, well, even the best trained monkeys are bound to escape the cattle prods. ;)

Appropriate choice of icon there ;)

the Shrub *needs* to go. I'm tired of my country being made to look stupid on account of his ineptitude. I know it's done some things that outraged the international community, but it can be great. If he is re-elected, I will weep for my country in decline and move away for four years.

Any country can be great. But that doesn't really make it a good country, y'know? Empires are great things, but not always very kind to its conquests.

Oh yay, another one to add to my collection. Yippee...Do you know, I think that's his best one to date.

What even better than; "I believe that America's homes are the hope of this nation. It is where wings take dream."

or

"I believe that the humans and the fish can coexist in harmony."

or (my personal favourite)

"I do not believe that we have sentenced a guilty - I mean innocent man to death in the state of Texas."?

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

Don't forget:

"If you don't have any ambitions, the minimal wage job isn't going to get you to where you want to get"

And another one:

"Jackson from Texas, you get anything of Texas question?"

I hope one day to have many, many trouts to allow Bush to co-exist with very unpeacefully. Oh yessss...

[wise-nerdanel.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't mind me commenting, but I followed a link to your LJ.

My favourite Bushism to this date is-

George W. Bush, at a conference in Tampa, FLA:

"We must always remember that all human beings begin life as a feces. A feces is a living being in the eyes of God, who has endowed that feces with all of the rights and God-given blessings of any other human being."

[robidougge.livejournal.com]

Ye gods!! The only time this man opens his mouth is to change feet.

And by the way -- have you seen www.bushisms.com? It hasn't been updated in eons, but it shows some vintage Bushisms, such as: "I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well." —Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2001

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've been at it before and amused myself greatly. And been kinda sad too. The English language does not deserve that kind of abuse.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Eew, is that a review from an otaku? *eyes the use of the word "konnichiwa" and the name "Chibi" suspiciously*

My favorite Bushism since last month has been that one where he was doing that repetition trick of his again in a speech and said, "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful -- and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people -- and neither do we."

Heehee, my Personality Psychology professor today said something about how a "good theory" means you can predict something by it ahead of time and be right, and as an example, "So, we may be able to predict that Danielle here will vote Bush..." and was interrupted by an immediate, "NO! I won't!" and the class booing Bush. Then in the next class my Ancient Civilizations professor mentioned the name Bush and then that class booed in response (and the professor laughed at that). Ah, the highlights of my day. :D

Coughing sucks, but glad to hear you're better...

HOWL!

[jocelyncs.livejournal.com]

That's my favorite Bushism too--truer words were never spoken! In his stupidity, yet he reveals his genuine nature! HAHAHAHAHA--SOB!!!

Re: HOWL!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*pats* There, there.

Y'know, they did this international polling on who people in 35 other countries would vote for between Kerry and Bush and which country do you think gave Kerry the highest numbers?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What be an otaku, exactly?

Bush booing is the highlight of any day. Except for days with Bush-trout-smacking. Huzzah!

[visp.livejournal.com]

I'd say that otaku chic has just earned herself admission to your University. Re-education can be such sweet vengance.

As for the Bush thing, that one just had me going "ookaaay..." and being very disturbed.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not sure I could stand the pain of educating someone who views spelling as a lottery where she's bound to guess right at least once. Ow.

[shandydann]

*raises eyebrow at review*

Surely thats got to be a wind up, I really hope so.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed.

[irian.livejournal.com]

Otaku talk. Yech. OK, I love anime, and I've probably fangirled a couple of cute anime bishies, but I'd like to think that I don't come off as *this* stupid...

And this latest Bush-ism only proves exactly how stupid he can be. I'm glad he's not representing my country, at any rate.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

but in a way, he represents us all, being 'leader of the free world' and all that. Gag.

[nymeria.livejournal.com]

It....it hurts! Goddamnit! My EYES! I just joined a new fandom, and approximately 78% of fanfics in it are all good, so to see this one was like a slap around the face with a wet towel.

*Sulks*

And now I shall go have Threesome!Sex with Bush and Blair, because Friends Write Real-Person Bad!Porn for Friends. Apparently? :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Don't get any ideas about you returning the favour, missy. :P

Note that you are hating fanmail because of the grammar and general attitude of the reviewer. I'm sure you have so much fanmail you can afford to hate dozens of it, but... even if this one is a joke (I have to admit, it's pretty ironic considering the content of your fic), someone likes your work. You must admire the enthusiasm.
Or perhaps not. Nobody has to read it and you'd prefer they didn't email you at all if they cannot do it right, don't you?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I hated it - I said I found it to be rather astoundingly awful, particulary considering which story I got it on. I mean, half the review is essentially claiming Legolas. And there's Japanese even though LotR is certainly not an anime (or manga). I smell troll, I do.
