huh?
i don’t get it, Thor
redfox, you have me at a loss. Are you certain you posted this on the correct blog?
Well is he? I mean if you don’t know whose working for you then I’m sure not the one to ask.
if you mean, what credentials does this guy have?, then that’s been done at
http://www.readthehook.com/dish/index.php/hook-debuts-restaurant-review-column/#comments, & it wasn’t particularly interesting then either.
Yawn. Some questions that need answering right now are - should I have dessert and is it gonna rain soon?
I think redfox wanted to show the picture to the other restaurant people in cville.
What does this have to do with restaurants?
this post has a serious case of what the fuck
I think it is a stunning piece of eclectic what the fuck, with a cheeky essence of like I give a shit.
I had hoped someone would have made sense of this by now. So, just say no to drugs. That will bring the prices down.
Anyone who has chosen to have a picture of themselves in a slack-jawed state of bewilderment posted to the internets in a conspicuous place has questionable taste to begin with, so forgive me if I don’t put too much stock in his reviews.
Time for umbrage: ‘As far as we can tell, its been a long time since any media outlet offered restaurant reviews in this town’…
Actually I think Redfox has done us all a huge favor. I clicked his link and the website ‘Brain Targeted Teaching’ has changed my life. I had been using ‘Spleen Targeted Teaching’ with fair to middling results and had a brief dalliance with the outdated ‘Middle Toe Target’ but this radical idea of targeting the BRAIN with instruction has just revolutionized my whole approach. Who would have thought of it? Bunch of fecking geniuses if you ask me.
…careful on the person attacks.
Oh my. Oh dear. Photograph bad, bad, bad……..Review not so hot either, not that I do much better, but you’d think someone writing for a publication would at least have a writing STYLE or something. And oh my lord, that picture of the salad looked like something my cat would yack up. They need a food photographer at the very least……(critique of critique now over).

You mean careful if it affects your little clique, right? Shenenanay can attack anyone with impunity, but other folks have to behave.
My name is ff and I lurk until I get the chance to say something bitchy. I never post or say anything substantial, I just hang around until I can find an opportunity to post something detrimental about shenanigans.
JELLO FIGHT!!!!
Brrr-ing it!
Hey, hey now…play nice. Jello only. Leave the names for the peanut butter and chocolate fights that should remain solely in the bedroom.
@16, I fell asleep halfway thru the review. If all he’s gonna do is give us a long string of adjectives surrounding the food, and neglect the service, the atmosphere, and the overall experience - well, this column will prove short-lived.
@22 the string of adjectives describing the food didn’t seem that favorable, so i was surprised by the raving headline.
It would have been better if the review was surrounded by adverbs, and served with german water.
Not rereading evar!
I’d rather lurk than bray like a jackass, skanking everything with petty observations.
ff…. were you defending me?
@25 i am really happy with the introduction of “to skank” as a verb. i will do everything in my power to put that on a one-way flight to the vernacular.
“to skank” means “to dance rhythmically in a loose-limbed manner.” interestingly, it is of jamaican origin, c. 1976.
i think it’s pretty obvious that it means “to cast a pallor of aloof cynicism upon the vibrance and youthfully innocent curiosity of”
…the internet.
jah be praise.
can skank be used as an adjective?
@25: Actually, I squeak more like Minnie Mouse on crack. But I am dancing in a loose-limbed manner while I do it.
@30: Er…skanky?
