Hi, Dear Sillies,
I hope you're all managing to feel upbeat, whatever life tosses your way. We're entering a challenging time of year for many (me too). But love and laughter are everywhere, including in blogland. Though this seems to have become more of a "Buy my book! Buy my friend's book! Read these 500 books! Buy my book!" place than in years past, a caring and supportive pulse keeps us blogging.
Here we go with yet more reasons for celibacy. I hope the list brings giggles.
Take care of yourselves.

This one appeared in my email last week:
384) Hellow
madam? I just came over your profile while ovr my busness on net en was
fantasticated with u? I loved ur profile even i love you to
Hell,
low gentleman? I just came over your email in my inbox while at my laptop, which
isn’t your busness any more than your hard drive is my busness, and I am constipicated by u? I hate ur spelling and ur pained attempt
at literacy. What do you love me to do? Suggest a good short bus for your busness? Prescribe a bright pink liquid medication for your fantasticatedness? Teach you the Cupid Shuffle?
385) A
simple act of caring creates an endless cripple Well that's insensitive, though I suspect you might be referencing the night when Stephen Hawking’s parents—you know—giggity, giggity.
386) Looking
for me
Hint:
Check nearest mirror. See face? That’s you, buddy.
387) Will
work for hummus
I
like your work ethic.
388) Never make eye contact with anyone while eating a banana! ??
Oh
no, honey. I only use—err, eat—bananas in private.
389) what
ya see is what ya get
Exactly; you didn’t post a photo.
390) Am Ugly ??
Yes, is Ugly??
391) hi I'm new to this I won't lie I hadhelp
Help? Let me guess: Nigerian spammers, Russian hackers, or Trump University?
392) I'm a single Dad with my kids.
Without your kids you’re a married Mom?

And on a different note, but one I need to share, I found a number of copies of my memoir on EBay.* I never use EBay. Yet EBay sponsors a bunch of Facebook advertising, so my book keeps popping up here and there in Facebookland. I didn't pay for the ads, so I'm thrilled. But . . .
May all men named Steve who have beautiful spirits and kids start the bidding and may the best Steve with the most beautiful spirit and kids win this copy.
PS If you want my memoir, I'm happy to send a signed one for much cheaper than $15.99. Message me, Rawknrobyn@aol.com. And if you'd like an extra value deal with two or all three of my books (and perhaps a little Happy Meal type of toy but no fries), let me know that too. Despite what I say about me, I'm easy. Wink.

*May karma do its work such that these EBay sellers make the same amount (or even less) than I have for my writing. -Insert evil laughter.-
OH my gosh, that's awful that he left your copy behind. I hope it was just an oversight! And what a goober the person who found it was to sell it for more than it's selling from you. Geez. On a high note, let's hope the advertising brings on the sales (for you, not him). :)
ReplyDeleteIt kinda still hurts. Heck, it definitely causes an OUCH! He didn't have to read it, though it would've been nice had he held onto it until he got into his car. Thank you, Rosey.
DeleteI hope leaving it behind was an accident. Watch out for crazed weasels - they'll snag and sell anything.
ReplyDeleteThat last one is hilarious.
And I'll work for Hot Tamales.
I'm assuming it was an accident, Alex. The authors gave an involved presentation, and he got flooded with questions and stuff as I snuck out to avoid MY paparazzi (Yeah, that's what happened). Smiles.
DeleteI like your work ethic too. We know what I'd work for.
Good ol' Steve may be an author but I bet he's not a mentor anymore, eh? Sheesh. At least CrazedWeasel137 is snagging you some free advertising.
ReplyDeleteYeah, CrazedWeasel137 is my new mentor. Thanks Debra.
Deletelol that last one made me snicker. The first guy hurt my head. Hopefully free advertising gets you more sales and nothing for that seller. eBay sellers will sure grab and sell anything. Hey, can look at it like fame. Better they sell your book than used chewing gum of Elvis.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Pat, and the used chewing gum would sell for a lot more.
DeleteOMG that first one is truly awful. But it made me laugh, and I don't know what that says about me? Karma is gonna get that Crazed Weasel and it will kill his beautiful spirit.
ReplyDeleteHe's one bold crazed weasel.
DeleteThank you, Deb.
I love the new verb "fantasticate" in the first example. I am adding it to my in use vocab right now!
ReplyDeleteThe markup on the EBay price is because the book is signed by a famous author. It will become a much sought-after collectors item.
Cherish the thought. Thank you kindly, Wilma. =)
DeleteOh Robyn. Someone far more worthy will get this book and cherish it - maybe love it as much as hummus. These are some doozies today. Got keep smiling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the uplifting sentiment, Joanne. You're a sweetie. I probably shouldn't watch that EBay bidding, though. There might be none. Or perhaps I should bid on my own book just to mess with Crazed Weasel137.
DeleteThe crazy weasel has effectively ADMITTED he stole the book from Steve! Can't you report him to the Feds, Robyn? He should have asked for more than $15.99 because any copy signed by you is fantasticated!
ReplyDeleteI know, right, GB? Thank you. It is fantasticated. It's also constipitated and fornificated and regurgicatated if not eroticated. For all that tatedness, it should be priced at 16.01, at least!
DeleteI am hopeful that when your book was left behind it was due to some type of tragic over-sight. Your book was a great read and anyone would be wise to purchase it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the poor unfortunate (and illiterate) men that seem to hang out on dating sites...instead of looking for women they should consider taking an English class or two, or four ...
It really is quite sad how many of these types of responses you get. There seems to be a lot of dysfunctional people out roaming among us.
And they don't know how to use a comma or any punctuation for that matter.
DeleteI appreciate your kind words about my book Cheryl.
Oh my, reading these dating ads is enough to make you want to never leave the house. Yikes! As for Steve and Crazedweasel--a pox upon their heads!! Hope you are having a good week, Robyn. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good week too, Connie. Cyber hugs.
DeleteLOL! Let the weasel advertise for you. You can't plan that sort of publicity.
ReplyDeleteI know. It was a shock to my already shocked state to find that particular book on EBay. Go Crazed Weasel. Work it for me, babe.
DeleteI hope that mentor left your book by accident otherwise he/she is a hycoprit who should disingrate:) OK my dad could never say hypocrite or disintegrate, so I write this in his honour. Now you never know maybe that guy who left your book went to Trump university. I have it on good authority that his speech writers think he is fantastical and they eat hummus.
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks Birgit. Plus they ugly? And they never make eye contact with bananas.
DeleteI was just thinking what Birgit said. I do hope this Steve forgot and did not leave it intentionally.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a mistake, because he didn't throw it back at me and exclaim "I don't want this sh*t!"
DeleteThose messages/profile things are just awful. I wonder if they get anyone to actually answer them? I can't believe that person left your book behind, and someone's selling it on ebay.
ReplyDeleteI know. You just never know, do you, JoJo!?
DeleteWill work for hummus? What is our world coming to. I hate that stuff!
ReplyDeleteI guess most people either love or hate it, Stephen. I love it, but I won't work for it. I don't love it that much.
DeleteCrazedWeasel is an entrepeneur, who is getting on the bandwagon before anyone else. He will regret only charging $15.99. $1599 would still be good value.
ReplyDeleteAh shucks, thank you, EC.
DeleteCyber hugs.
Hi--this is Steve. I'm sorry it seems as if I didn't give a damn about your book, but the truth is I set it down for two minutes so I could pay for my triple fudge latte with chocolate syrup and someone stole it. I can't belief the thief would dare to put it on ebay. Oy, the indignities of life. I'm so sad I never got to read your book.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,
Steve
You love me afterall! I knew it, I knew it. I mean, two years ago when you were selling books at the retreat and I wanted to buy one but you had no more that day and promised me you'd hold onto one for me, and the next day I brought money and you acted like you'd never seen me before. "I don't have any more, but email me," you said. I emailed you when I got home and you said you couldn't send me a signed book but I could order on-line. Whoopy! I did! I ordered TWO and I sent one to a friend. Plus, I messaged you thru FB about this little fiasco (i.e., you didn't give a damn about my book and left it behind for CrazedWeasel137) and you ignored me. But that was all because you were purchasing a triple fudge latte with chocolate syrup FOR ME!? Hey, where's the latte?
ReplyDeleteDude, bid big on my book. Real big, else another Steve will win the book and my affections.
Ambivalence and Bitterness,
Robyn
fantasticated. I think I'll add that to my word list. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHow sad he didn't keep your book. I'd have cherished mine for sure.
That's because you are fantasticated, Miss Seckman.
DeleteWill you autograph my Kindle copy? I would be delighticated if you could. I'd be damned impressedicated, too!
ReplyDeleteAn author friend actually somehow did autograph a kindle copy of his book. So, sure, Jono. Send me your kindle, and I'll sign my book. I'd been honoricated. =)
DeleteI will make eye contact while eating a banana. Of course, I break pieces off and eat it that way. It's just the way it should be done.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Ruth. Bananas should be savored. I'll say no more.
DeleteI saw via Facebook about the book. That's awful. I don't ever want to be at a point in my life ala crazedweasel where I have to hawk someone else's signed copy of a book for more than retail price. What an endless cripple.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet it all started from a simple act of caring ala Stephen Hawking's parents.
DeleteHeck, I'll sell you a signed copy of my book for some magic beans.
DeleteOkay, Al. I just shipped to you some magic beans. They're refried and make you toot too. I think you'll appreciate them. I can't say that your wife will thank me though.
DeleteWow. Don't these people know that their horrendous grammar is a blatant statement of their stupidity? I enjoyed your witty answers!
ReplyDeleteNo Sherry. It seems they are too stupid to realize this. That's the baffling part, isn't it?
DeleteThank you.
The apocalypse approaches. Thanks for the laughs until the power goes out and we have to start eating slow squirrels.
ReplyDeleteIf "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is to be believed, squirrels are high in cholesterol. Oh, the humanity!
Let me guess, Al, those squirrels are the highest in trans fats. Am I right? And their nuts are too. We're really screwed, aren't we?
DeleteI just finished reading "Sin and Syntax". Maybe you should write a grammar book wtih examples of not to write coming from your suitors.
ReplyDeleteI did that, Sage. It's not called a grammar book, though. It's called Celibacy and Suburbia. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into Sin and Syntax. I like the title.
DeleteThat's a funny story. Well you never know where your book will end up. That's the beauty of books (despite of how it ended up on ebay), its your gift to the world.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Dating blurbs are brilliant as always.
xo
LOL! I would often just ignore them or mark as spam. This is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! Fantasticate IS kinda fun though i have to admit. There will be no staring or eye contact while a banana is eaten around here. I hate bananas!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that Steve missed out and left his copy of your book. I loved your book. His loss totally!
Weaselguy is appropriately named because only a weasel would take property meant for someone else and sell it on ebay.
Wow. That's so not cool. I guess the free advertising is nice, but wow.
