REBA REDUX
Did I mention how much I enjoy the mail I get?
Picked up this ditty late last night about a posting on the Salad a couple months back from Rev. Joe Kendall about seeing Reba McEntire in concert.
It seems the writer, who went by the name "Anonomus" didn't much care for the tone of the posting. It mocked her leather wristband, her Muppet-like jaw hinge, her use of self-idolotry mechanisms.
But I'm guessing this line by Rev. Joe set the writer off:
"Seeing that she lacked musical depth beyond her nasal overvocalization, I went in search of any redeeming quality I could find in her. The best I could come up with was to use this photo on a poster adorned with the inscription:"Just Say No To Country Camel Toe."
"Anonomus" then replies - 6 months after the posting and the concert, mind you:
Hey!!! Your a fag for sayin' this about Reba!!! She is a human being like anyone else! You should not make fun of people, especially nice people like her!!!! I think your being a real jerk to her. Why would u go to a concert if u only wanted to make fun of her??? huh??? Loser!!!!
There are so many balls of yarn to play with here. The Tourette's-like use of exclamation points... The knee-jerk homophobic accusation... The incorrect spelling that hints of partial cerebral hemmorage... The use of the informal Prince-like "u" form.
On second thought, "Anonomus" is right. We were a tad harsh in posting this commentary. Ms. McEntire is a talented, luscious singing piece of red velvet layer cake, a shining, dazzling aqua-marine sequin in the American Gown of the Arts. Please accept our apology.
Oh, and give our best to the guys and girls down at Polly Sue's Nail Tech Academy.
An update: I received this note from someone going by the name "i hate you."
u guys are mean and rude so stop it now idiots
Hmmm. With all that lack of capitalization and syntax and punctuation, you must be related to "Anonomus."
