Wow, this is abysmal. Truly lives up to your nom de plume. It’s rare that I can’t find a single redeeming quality in a piece, but this vitriolic, juvenile attempt at a put-down, lacks any substance, creativity or even a basic understanding of the English language.
I sincerely don’t understand what would compel you to not only craft something so hateful, but to do it so poorly. You remind me of the bully from the movie “Roxanne” with Steve Martin: “What a waste of an opportunity. You have THIS in front of you, and all you can think of is ‘Big Nose’?” A tired, old, “your momma is so fat” joke? A slow clap, just for you, is in the making.
The best put-downs are those that are memorable. They linger like a stale fart, constantly reminding us of the humility put forth by the superior wit. This is only memorable for how unbelievably forgettable it is.
I HATE IT!!! I’ve always wondered what the story equivalent of the leaning tower of Pisa made from wet, sloppy turd would look like. Now I wonder no more. I just got back from a fication that lasted a few weeks. I went to this challenge ‘cos it looked fun. All I found was a piece of piss author who doesn’t even capitalise his sentences saying that ANOTHER author has no writing talent. I’ve never read one of his stories, I skimmed one quickly, and no matter your personal angst, it’s a work of genius in comparison to this septic tank of words. This challenge you made isn’t a fun challenge, it’s an excuse to slag off another writer. I don’t mark this 1 in protest or disagreement. I mark this 1 as my personal vendetta against ppl who mark THEIROWN stories 5.
LOL…this thing is so 7th grade-ish funny… I almost choked on my snickerdoodle reading it. Seriously, it’s spelt “Kihd” not “Khid”. But I guess since the ‘h’ is silent you could spell it “hkhihdh” or “hhhhhhhKidHHHHHHhhH” and it would still sound the same…
Seamus- I should seriously do that with my name someday.
Ghost- I did too, until I remembered it was about me.
This might not seem mentally sound, but I took no offence to this whatsoever. I just really hated some of the gratuitous references. I feel kind of immature though, because I actually posted a reply letter to this!
Actually, as much as I hate this entire story and all of the comments equally— including my own (because I’m only feeding the fire)— I found the ‘catcher in the rye’ narrative delivery redeeming… even if it’s an overdone and incredibly cliché way to tell a story :P And it at least had an uneducated-kid-of-the-bluest-collar-d-bag-parent sort of ring to the language… so there that is. No rating. I’d give it a 2 if I had to.
Starting the minute I stop typing my comment, I don’t think that there should be anymore commenting on this story. A real Ficly, not just an epic fail at a put down should be at #2 on the Active list or the other list that features popular stories…the name is slipping my mind right now… ANYWAY- I think Abismal knows what she did wrong. You wouldn’t punish a kid repeatedly for cussing once, would you? The Comment Train has come and gone, kids. No more comments starting NOW.
