The most overused word of 2018 is "chilling." It's standard in news reporting, book descriptions, and GR reviews. "The chilling discovery" ………..," "the chilling truth …………., "the chilling climax" ………….." "the chilling brothers," YUCK. Come on. Show a little creativity; the word is past tired, and will pass out any day now. Look, I don't care how banal the news people sound and I don't care about the assholes who write book blurbs. But, I'd like my good friends on GR to sound professional and make GR great again. It's easy. Below you will find 10 synonyms from the web. Word has about 20 more, but didn't let me copy them. My personal favorite is dispiriting. A word to the wise ……..

frightening
hair-raising

FYI self-publishing writers. CreateSpace has been merged into KDP, and is not accepting any more shit. YOU are required to transfer your books to KDP; no sweat- three button pushes. However, when you get to KDP you are informed that CreateSpace covers are not compatible with KDP, and you have to make new ones.
THAT IS A BALDFACED LIE. No offense intended, Jeff. Before you waste any time preparing, try re-submitting the cover that's already on the shit. I've tried five, and they accepted each one.

Okay, okay. What's the big shit? So, I got a little randy with a couple of whooores who weren't in the mood at the moment. Tell me who hasn't. I'm not exactly Jack the Ripper. Jeez.

Got a welcome card to my new neighborhood from James Patterson. No bullshit. It was very nice of him, but I also couldn't help thinking what you expect me to have been thinking.
Anyhow the "real" James Patterson lives in Boca Raton, somewhere in reasonable distance from Mandy DeSandra's folks. Go figure. I think this one owns the local "Subway" as he sent me a $30 gift certificate, and I like Subway a lot. It was nice, and I look forward to meeting with him and maybe collaborating on a book.

B (ig) Diehl graces HST with a poem I'd call quirky. It kind of moves you to a space well known, and then drops the bomb at the end.
Don't read that as I think that ruins it and watch out for those rednecks with pitchforks.

That's what I like about this thread; consistency of opinion. I'm really careful in trying not to play into the put-down, but I never would have thought of this one.
CONGRATULATIONS FUCKHEAD.
CONGRATULATIONS FUCKHEAD.
I guess I was set up for this. Maybe thank you anyway. But, you know that "chilling" word is still being used on GR, and I don't want to repeat myself. I "liked" the damn review because the rest of it wasn't so chilling.
This is an official HST "poetry" submission. This is the last copy I have as I've abandoned the political book idea due to a lack of material and ability. It might not be an easy fit here, as to "get it" requires that one read more than the headlines.

We can wire the Prez
and invoke the 25th.
We got him by the nuts
and can make him a myth.
Thinks he’s the boss.
We been here 35 years.
We got Deep State.
He got Cohen fears.
Think I got this face
by being nice?
Can’t get elected
til’ they elect the mice.
It’s a joke.
Haha.
And it ain’t my fault
I got an ugly mama.

You know, there was one phrase I considered overused. But I thought it might be just endemic to my chosen region. I now see that for the good of GR, Hackle must be contained in Cleveland.

Reading some GR reviews. Yuck. They all extoll action at the expense of thought and deft wordplay. Well, I got some news for ya. If you want action go to the fucking movies. Movies move. Comprende? Fucking books just sit there. Always did and always will.
And WTF is wrong with "languid." My best days have been the ones spent languid.
Errrr. Let me nuance that a bit, as I'm afraid that if I keep this up the next thing I'll be doing is reading that Gass book about how he sits in his chair.

Justin Mank has taken a cue from Jimi Hendrix who stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand. Possible metaphor aside Justin has modernized mountain activities and does some elevated things which can get one arrested in most of the US. You'll have to read HST to find out what they are.
You may balk at first, but I know that since you're here, your perverted little mind will not rest until you do.

Closing in on an HST mood. Thank you for tolerating the prior.
I'm kind of pissed the FBI would not speak with me saying; "First, you got to clear it through Trump." I saw him at DC's Punch Club waving the old flag. I really didn't make much note of it as in DC hardly a day goes by without seeing some asshole with an attention deficit disorder waving old glory around. No I don't remember the day or the year. Like I said, I didn't think much of the tiny matter at the time, but then I saw the weenie-wanker on TV. I mean Punch ain't a gay bar. There were women all over the place and this drunk was going "Woooo. woooooo. In yo face."
I respectfully thought that the Senators might like to know this as one small consideration in their vote. But, apparently not; so I told Goodreaders. You know, you can't even get a book deal for this shit, as there are like 40 committed to already.

INSIPID QUOTE OF THE DAY, MAYBE WEEK
“I see now that we were at cross-purposes. For him, I was a blot on a spectacular ascent, as our story did not fit with the narrative of greatness and virtue he might have wanted for himself. My existence ruined his streak. For me, it was the opposite: the closer I was to him, the less I would feel ashamed; he was part of the world, and he would accelerate me into the light.”

Brand spanking new for me. I got me some store bought pot.
Diane and I were driving around the other day, and we saw a billboard advertising weed. It said something like; "Take your choice; 1) sleepy, 2) giggly, and 3) I've forgotten." I said "none of the above." She said that I had to choose, so I went with sleepy.
I tried one which was about the size of a regular cigarette. Before I could finish it I started to feel sleepy. I plugged on, now cranky that I was feeling sleepy at 12PM. After trying to fight it off, I went to sleep for two hours. I didn't get any kind of high and the whole thing just sucked baboon asshole.
She then went out to get me a bottle of wine, and came back with a little one with a cork. I don't have a cork remover as usually I get one with a screw off cap. I figured that I could improvise with some things I have in the garage this morning. But, Diane took it with her when she went to work.
I still feel like some of that Nyquil is in me and I'm pissed. These days are the worst I can remember.

Please consider this another submission to HST. Rejection becomes an acquired taste. Off to screw with that fictional shit book about me. Seems a good day to be bored.

It's a shame you saw that before I deleted it. It wasn't me. It was that shitty pot. And, point of order; I prefer Burroughs, no pun intended.
Like in "burros" STOOP.

India wrote; "Gotta get you a sativa."
Thanks, but let me research that a bit. I mean why do the retailers have to screw with something that works? This wasn't a first try, and the other "illegal" stuff always made me maybe a little sleepy, but buzzed in some kind of way, and very relaxed, no matter the source.
Hell, if I want to get agitated and simultaneously put to sleep, I can read GR reviews.

hahaha fair enough. It's all about the strain. Most of the "illegal" ones you can get are hybrids so you'll get a little of both. And both CAN make you sleepy, but sativas are going to give you more of a head high that can lead to energy or creativity and indica can lead to more of a body high that like.. can make you sleepy and have the munchies more. I like to have one of each - one for writing/getting stuff done around the house/exercising (sativa) and one for helping me sleep when I can find them here.
India wrote; "It's all about the strain. Most of the "illegal" ones you can get are hybrids so you'll get a little of both. "
Thanks again. Looked up a little bit and it makes sense. So next, I'd like to try a pure sativa and a mix. Can you get a mix at the store, or do you have to do that yourself? Know a good brand name?

OK, but I'd like to point out that I was quoting the bound dictionary at the time. And we all know damn well that is not considered trolling if the target is a Republican or some other type of right wing fascist. Hmmnnn. Maybe I'll add that to the book. Thank you to the best editor ever. And surreptitious too.
In case you were skimming and missed it, here again is the real definition.
"Trolling is whatever is said to be such in a complaining commentary which is written on the internet by any severely limited, opinionated, overly sensitive, humorless person with no life, and a passing grade in a high school typing course, or whatever prompted the remedial rule dictated by Facebook policy to belittle or delete that which they determine to be as such or that which might offend their libtard base."

You can get good hybrids at the store, but I don't know any of the chains up there. I'm more familiar with Denver :/ I went to The Green Solution a lot, but I don't know if that's just in CO or not. You can also go on leafly.com or get the Leafly app to get information about the specific strains you're looking at when you're at the store.

Good, gosh, and golly, Judge. I would submit that this boils down to whether one accepts the viewpoint of DFW, Derrida, or Hemingway. I do well respect your well-thought dismissal of DFW, and suspect a Derridean interpretation at play; I might note an idealistic rather than a real one. But, with all due respect, if I lose, this case will be in appellate court, quicker than coke can be snorted from a stand up thingy.
BEYOND THAT, THANKS FOR THE HELP WITH THE BOOK, DICK. I've added a footnote under the definition, which, please pardon my inadequate machine for not being able to handle two copies at once, is;
Writer’s Note. That may seem good at first reading, though upon further reflection it becomes obvious that this definition misses the nuances attendant to at least half of that it would purport to include; that being in the reverse pejorative sense. On a more concrete level, we all know damn well that it is not considered trolling if the target is a Republican, some other type of right wing fascist, or your everyday-household-variety cretin.

Now, please excuse me, as I have some chores, one of which is to go get the mail IN THE RAIN. It wouldn't be so bad if we had our own mailbox, as we did everywhere else. But no, not in Washington. We've got one of those "communal" things, and I have to walk the distance of 5-6 houses to get to it IN THE RAIN. Then I have to walk back, uphill mind you, IN THE RAIN. I can finally understand the mindset which produced "Stoner."
The rain is coming at a steady pace, neither a downpour or a drizzle. The pellets remind one of a feral rabbit's ………………...

Besides being IN THE RAIN, there was a bear sighting within half a mile. If he hurt the goddam Mexican, some Libby group would be suing me for having an employee hurt in the course of doing the job I gave him. No shit on that one.
It's less risk for me, as as soon as those slackers are out of your sight they bring their whole family over for a picnic, attracting the bear. Thing that most pissed me off while I was IN THE RAIN, was that there wasn't anything in the goddam box. I mean like, by now there must be some way to hook it up to my doorbell or something. Instead of ding-dong-bell it would say "You've got mail." Even AOL can do that much.
Shit. While I was IN THE RAIN somebody laid a 3-months-on-a-horse load of BO in the laundry room. I know Diane's going to blame me when she gets back.

Jay Passer has a clear, youthful point of view, and I'm sure that Franzen would not approve. I was wondering what his one color was, and he made me wait until the end, perhaps suggestive of a clandestine mysterious approach with this one. Franzen likes it better at this point.
That kind of doesn't matter as Franzen is not published by HST, and nobody here cares about him, except me sometimes. So, if you want to find out what the only color is, tune into Jay Passer at HST.
Hint. I was hoping for purple, but it's not that.

You'll all sympathize with SUX2BME again today. This is perfectly horrid. I trudged to the mailbox IN THE RAIN, and finally, there were the license plates for my new Lexus. But, then when I tried to get the screws out, I found that you need some kind of weird ass screwdriver to get them off. I don't even think that the stores carry this type, and it probably is purposely that way so that I have to go back to the dealer, who'll charge $200.
After showering I clipped my toenails and one started bleeding profusely. Trying not to damage my sock, I wrapped a folded paper towel around it, but the sock kept pulling it off. After a whole ten minutes of trial and error I finally got the sock on with paper towel in place.
Then I noticed that some bird or Bizarro writer dropped a pile right near the top of the great room's two storeyed window. No way I'm getting up there, and I hope this constant RAIN changes directions and intensifies before it dries out like a Hackle book, as the cleaning lady doesn't come again until next Friday.
Then the cat did a heave ho right on his bedding, and as I'm washing it MYSELF he's cranking at me and almost spilled my wine on the center island's granite countertop.
I'm too upset to write or even edit anything now, and don't have any Sylvia Plath books.
