In Reply to: Jim Merod may be a nice guy & good engineer. Dunno. But damn, this may be the worst "review" I've...... posted by Rick W on October 6, 2014 at 08:41:34:
Your line, "this makes Clark Johnsen seem like Hemingway" was funny enough to make me read the first sentence of Mr. Merod's review. I did not get past that sentence. Perhaps he was attempting to adopt the style of the writer quoted below. If so, he needs practice.riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
Sir Tristram, violer d’amores, fr’over the short sea, had passen-core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer’s rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County’s gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all’s fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a peck of pa’s malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface.
Edit: Aha. I read a few more sentences. He actually is parodying James Joyce, among other things. Guess this wasn't the best audience for it. ;)
