The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Fake but inaccurate

Mark Steyn explains why so much BS enhancement shows up in so many memoirs:

The trouble with the memoir racket is that most folks who lead interesting lives don't want to write and most folks who do want to write have lives that consist of sitting around in their underwear staring at the keyboard and getting up to refill the coffee mug every 20 minutes. Hard to work that up into anything "brave" and "inspirational."

Um, I don't drink coffee.

And I would assume they're probably also doing other things when they get up every 20 minutes...

You've also implied that you aren't wearing underwear when you post.

Too much info? (grin)

The controlling factor, if you will, is where I happen to be when the post is made.

Get ready for Named Bloggers Day. Sounds like you're already dressed for it.
