DealDash411: Hints Tips and Commentary: THE BACKLASH

WARNING: IF YOU ARE FROM THE BID LOUNGE, YOU MAY NOT THINK ANYTHING I SAY IN THIS BLOG IS FUNNY. SO I AM JUST LETTING YOU KNOW IN ADVANCE. YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO CLOSE THIS BLOG WINDOW BEFORE YOU READ ANYTHING THAT MAY OFFEND YOU.


Ok. So far The Bid Loungers are waaaay too serious. I learned my lesson. I truly don't really care, but people are too serious about stuff in this world. If one voice can alter that many opinion with one blog post, then there is a bigger problem in this world.  They obviously didn't understand I was traumatized as a young child by a Lobster Condominium.

It is all in good fun. Entertainment value. Duh.

As for DealDash, I'm sitting in Starbucks and it won't let me pull up the site! I am missing the good stuff! I'll have to stuff this chocolate croissant  down my throat and get back to my house where i am free to browse PAs...

so more updates to come!

I'm still thinking of listing some of the players who were the tipping point on me not playing in PAs any more. See this wouldn't be MEAN. In a way, this is a compliment, or some kind of badge of honor....ya see? definitely won't tell the Bid Loungers about that....geez....

In fact, I'm intrigued by one comment made by a SUPER SERIOUS player.  Read on:

( and now i can't even figure out how to make this not be in boxes now. On my own blog. I am no formatting genius. You can laugh. It is really funny!)
 

Yeah, I read this this morning (fail for double this?) and apparently the new factor for the legitimacy of a site is grammer?  I have NEVER met anyone (including English PhD's) who never made the occasional grammatical faux pas.  Particularly in the case of a web site where often times it's what the programmer puts in, as opposed to the site owner. 

So now it is me talking....
Two things: Someone needs to tell me what "fail for double this" means. I admit i am not cool and so maybe i just don't get it. *****


NOW the real question is.....PhD people....talk to me....aren't you super busy with super smart things? If i had a Phd i obviously wouldn't have time to blog about PAs. Either that, or you are so super smart that you calculated the best odds and best strategic game play and are kicking butt. 

****OH I JUST GOT IT!!!!  He's asking if it is incorrect grammar to write "this this." According to the MLA handbook, that is acceptable. so i didn't go check it in an MLA Handbook....but whatever. See how slow I can be??? I didn't even get what he was saying....see - I admit my own ridiculousness too.  But, fyi, you did spell "grammar" wrong in your comment and i didn't even make a comment!!! I am truly a gem.

Love you all

  1. Ok I think I really am a DD addict...I can't check the site and i'm jonesing (slang word...not correct grammar) for a fix! Who is playing right now? Are the prices high? Did the Beefers show up? I miss them. Are there any turtle night light auctions going on?? I think i have a serious problem.
