[Choko]

All my book counts show zero on GR... Am I the only one or is it a website wide glitch?

[idiffer]

@Choko
There's a thread in Feedback group. Lots of ppl have this issue

[Choko]

Thank you! I will go over there to see what's up😊

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I've never been an energy drink user... I just drink too much soda...

I have coworkers that live on like a case of Monster a day... they know it's hurting their body...

I bought a 12-pack like 5 years ago for the Diablo 3 launch... or 8 years ago for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm... whichever it was, I didn't feel like it helped much, and didn't bother ever again... I got a free can of Monster 6 months ago, and it's been in my fridge ever since...

@Choko: I don't see what you're seeing, or I'm looking in the wrong place...

[Choko]

Iain, do you see any books on my shelves?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Oh... they all say 0... only way to get accurate count is to access a shelf and view with infinite scroll...

That's weird... my shelves are fine...

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Choko wrote: "Iain, do you see any books on my shelves?"

I just looked and all of your shelves have (0) behind them....

[Choko]

Thank you guys! I hope they fix it soon...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Booksplosion... 22 reviews down... 23 left to go... maybe tomorrow... I really need to start maintaining better... I get a few days behind and it just snowballs... and becomes more work as I need to pull up threads where I commented on the books to remember my thoughts... at least the spreadsheet lets me save my ratings so I'm not just making them up from hazy memories...

[idiffer]

I don't know how you do it, Iain. One review a day is much work for me. A 8 page blogpost takes me... oh, several months already.

[Virginie]

I never review books :o
Each year, I promise myself I'll review at least a quarter of the books I read, write 2-3 (short) reviews and then realize I don't like doing it ^^

22 reviews... *shivers*

[idiffer]

@Virginie
Ohhh, I so want to call you ginny, you cannot imagine what temptation it is.
Me, I can only review a book if I have strong feelings for it or if I have something intelligent to say, which is once in a blue moon. Most books are 3 stars for me, meh.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I don't write full reviews... just a line or 2 of thoughts... what I liked/disliked... how it compares to previous books in the series... same things I say in the Buddy Read thread really...

I'm not like Mayim / Choko / Veronica, who do quotes from the book and real reviews... bold and italics... etc...

You can see a couple examples in my profile at the moment, since my rampant commenting in threads hasn't wiped them off the feed yet...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I think Veronica liked it enough to see it twice already... according to the Deadhouse Gates thread, anyway...

[Ahdam]

Personally I thought it was another average film but that’s just me 😐😐

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Friends -> How I Met Your Mother?...

Westworld -> Dollhouse...

I dunno about similar to the other 2...

[idiffer]

Virginie, come back. I'll stop embarrassing you...

You can if you want :)
People usually give me nicknames 'cause no one can pronounce my name right. Must be the French "R" ^^

Ah! I was busy pouring myself a beer :p

[Anni]

While talking with Siobhan about Books about Moose yesterday, I discovered this list and because it is life-changing I thought it isn't fair to keep it a secret

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

I guess by now Siobhan is an expert for Collectible Spoons of the 3rd Reich and I should go and knitt my cat-hair sweater 😂

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I don't watch much TV... I'm sure others will have better recommendations...

[Ahdam]

Let’s see

I was watch the first episode of a tv series called Carnivàle and it is about a young farmer whose mother died decides to join the carnival to get away there is a lot of supernatural elements to it and is set during the Great Depression also some familiar faces present as well it was cancelled by season 2 but it’s a cult classic

Have you seen altered carbon yet it has a blade runner look?

Red Dwarf is a brilliant comedy would definitely recommend

Black mirror is a definite watch if you want dark stories of the not so distant future

That’s all I got for now but there is probably more

Community?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I loved the first couple seasons of Community... nothing wrong with the later seasons, I just cut back on TV...

[Virginie]

@Iain & Idiffer When I do write reviews, they're usually no longer than 5 sentences.
I'm having a hard time putting words on my feelings (especially in English) and others do it so much better that I don't bother.
I'm getting a little better thanks to BR though :)

(Ahhh, I love this group :D)

[idiffer]

Anni + anyone

Check out my hilarious-title shelf for other such books, I incorporated 3-4 lists into it.

Ginny

It's a deal))

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

New topic... have I ever showed you guys the best video on the internet?...

Behold the majesty that is the ostrich mating dance set to music...

You had me at Beat Your Way to the Top: Masturbation as a Technique for Business Success

I legit said "What?!?" and busted out laughing...

I've just been horribly pronouncing it Virginy for weeks... this comment made me thing it was Virjean... youtube/pronouncenames.com set me straight

[idiffer]

@Iain
Virginy? Not Virginny? Anyway, thanks for setting me straight with Virjean. I would make a joke about a word that sounds... khm, sorry.

[Siobhan]

Another particular favourite of mine - How to Good-Bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? or Effective Way?

😂

Anni, I'm surprised more people aren't loving this list. Maybe our humour is a bit immature? Why isn't everyone off bomb proofing their horse and talking to trees right now??

[Ahdam]

Don't worry I'm looking at it and How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men seems to be in my taste finally a voice from an Asian background who is talking about the problems we face in todays especially me.

Anyone want to help me try some of the stuff out preferably a woman who is white :) :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Ok I was laughing at all the titles, but when I got to Buttception: A Butt Within a Butt Within a Butt I had actual tears hahahaha. I’ll have to refer to your shelf any time I’m feeling down

[Anni]

@Siobhan I have no idea!!! No. Idea. I was nearly choking from laughing yesterday and here everyone is like 'Yeah, cool, I saw something similar before...' 😱 At least I know I can count on you and I don't care if my humor might be considered immature... because well... it might be true 😂

I also like '50 Ways to Use Feminine Hygiene Products in a Manly Manner' the Review is awesome, too :) It makes me curious how I could use my hygiene products more manly 😂

[Siobhan]

I'm crying with laughter now just reliving it!! Oh my god I didn't even think to check the reviews!! 😂
You can always count on me xD ♥

You know something this would make a good youtube video if I ever decide to go for broke and do it so maybe

Yes pleeeeeease! You could walk up to a white woman with the book in hand, be sure that she can read the title and if she is too polite and acts like she didn't see it you maybe could say something like 'Do you like [insert random topic from the book]? This books says every white women likes it, should I read you the passage?' 😂

That might get some interesting reactions but I would rather not be done for sexual harassment :) :) :) :)

Oh sorry, my bad! 😱😂

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

LOL yes it’s a very specific job 😂

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

@Margret: Not much experience with The Art of the Tingle?... Chuck Tingle gay/dinosaur smut specializes in weird titles...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

@Margret again: sounds like it involves Butt CPR...

Since you like Westworld maybe try Humans.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

@Iain..... you’d definitely need a breath mint after that

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Brings new meaning to "Are you blowing smoke up my ass?"
