Comedy Crash and Purple Prose

2009 | Random, Writing

Random, I wish I could do that way, way too enthusiastic psycho grin thing that Stephen Colbert does in photographs, lol. Every time I see him do it I crack up, and that’s saying something because I’ve been a fan of his since the first season of Strangrs With Candy, so it should have gotten old by now, lol.

Speaking of things that never get old, I was reading about Purple Prose on TV Tropes and every time I read this I laugh my ass off: “This troper remembers her best friend telling her about a drawing of a wolf that made fun of this. Its eyes were glass orbs, its tail was a literal tassel, and its legs were stone pillars.”

I can’t stand Urple, it drives me insane. I mean, yeah, you can use it with a very, very light hand and improve your description but if you’re referring to your eyes as oculars, please, you and your ego just get a freaking room.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT: Please understand that, though I'm all for free speech, I'm also busy and downright mean. Because of this I will not tolerate offensive, inappropriate or hateful comments. I'll warn you and delete the offensive part, but if you repeat the offense I'll probably ban you from the domain. I'm sorry, but I just don't have time for spam, racism, and so on and so on. Just to note: What I find offensive? Is what we'll call offensive, this being my blog and all. ;)
