"Best American Fantasy" sounds like "Regular Detergent" Tom Send a noteboard - 11/06/2010 02:03:57 AM
It's such a generic term that...well...it doesn't excite.

"Frozen Mammoth Stories of Insanity" even sounds better.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

And then start a chain letter e-mail. But are the increased sales really worth selling your soul? *NM* - 11/06/2010 01:06:13 AM 204 Views
